Beef gyro with no beef.
Dawn R.

If you have a gyro with beef and lamb on the menu. It should come to the table with meat on it. The waitress claims the cook didn't know it should have meat on it. Seriously. There should be a menu in the kitchen then for a reference guide.

Garlic Feta
Brendan U.

Staying at the strip side of Athens and didn't want to go to the usual chain eateries. SoS was Saturday night busy with lots of locals and TV's. They seemed understaffed- but I found seating easily. I tried the Garlic Feta wings which were ok - not overly sauced. Bbq brisket was a bit dry but still good. Enjoyed the sweet potato fries. They had an average selection of beers. My server, Cassidy, was friendly and efficient. Pub food and drinks were good, but I would go back for the neighborhood feel.

Buffalo chicken dip
Allie H.

Ok so our server was great! But that's where it sort of ends. This was very underwhelming. Everything was decent but really isn't worth going out of your way for. I will say the salad portion was huge so you're getting your moneys worth. The buffalo chicken dip was greasy and the bread wasn't great so I'd get chips next time. They were also out of a lot of things like small plates? I may get a pre drink app here but would def not go out of my way. Again though the server was sweet and kind!!

No hot wings here, don't ask. Mild is all you get. Go to the Home Tavern in Logan for hot wings!

Beverage station

The service and atmosphere was very good. The food however is just fine. It's one of those places where I think it would be better if they picked a few key menu items and did those really well instead of this big varied menu. The cheese stick appetizer was probably the best part of the meal. They were nice big cheese sticks that came out sizzling hot with so much gooey cheese in them. I had the chili dogs and traditional wings with Korean sauce. The chili on the dogs was bland and sparse, it almost seemed watered down. The cook on the wings was not to my liking. I prefer a crisper wing. The fries were also somewhat bland so I left the majority of those. My daughter got the sliders. Um instead of four separately made mini patties, they take one patty and cut it in quarters and put them on mini buns. I know potato pot-ah-to. They do have a full bar and if you like Ohio lottery kiosk games they have those too! Lots of TVs to catch your favorite sporting events. And very friendly attentive staff.

Wild Fries

My husband and I ate at Shade on 3 nights in a row. We ate something different each time. We loved everything, especially the Wild Fries! So good!!

Loaded Chips
Ryan N.

Pretty solid for Athens; cool place to hang out when the sun is out! Went here after roadhouse was too packed and got seated immediately. The ice cream cookie reminded me of BJ pizookies. Loaded chips were surprisingly good! BLT tasted like a BLT

I honestly can't describe in words what this sandwich is made of.

We are from out of town just passing through. This is a really cool local hangout. The atmosphere was great, and so was the food.

Not a fan. Food is ok at best. Could make the same thing at home and it would taste better. Service is terrible.

Wild fries are amazing. You get a lot for the price as well. You can order the fries as your entire meal!

Wings are fantastic!! The mild sauce is almost a dry sauce, no mess at all. You have to get fries too! Great seasoning.

Went to Jackie O's tonight with a couple of friends for the first time. I ordered the Appalachian…read more It was fine, but nothing to write home about. We got cheese curds to start. One friend ordered a Caesar salad with chicken and got a fruity vinaigrette instead. Another friend ordered a burger and they forgot the bacon. A third friend asked for his burger well-done, but it came out medium, also with no bacon. When he asked the server if it looked well-done, she said she didn't know what well-done looks like. He asked if she could get a new one so he wouldn't get sick, and she said she'd check with the kitchen. No apology. It took 25 minutes for the new burger to come out, and by then we had been there for over an hour and a half. When she finally brought it out, she asked if he wanted a box to take it home. Still no bacon on the burger. Also, no apology again. Overall, not a great experience. Will not be back.

This brew pub strikes a great balance between laid-back charm and quality offerings. The atmosphere…read moreis cozy and intimate, with dim lighting that adds warmth and character to the space. The wrap-around bar gives it a welcoming, communal feel--perfect for grabbing a seat solo or catching up with friends. The beer selection is limited, but what they do have is decent, albeit a little on the heavier side. It's the kind of place where you don't need a massive tap list--just a few good options done right. What really surprised me were the wings. Locally sourced and noticeably larger than your average bar wings, they were absolutely packed with flavor--easily some of the best I've ever had. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, with the perfect amount of dry rub. Worth the visit for those alone. If you're looking for a relaxed spot with great food, good beer, and a neighborhood-pub kind of feel, this place delivers.

We stopped here while biking the Adena Bikeway because it looked like a cute "bike side" place to…read moregrab food. We were honestly excited!! baby sleeping, toddler ready to eat, outdoor seating available. It should have been the perfect stop. It went downhill fast. My husband asked the host for highchairs and both were broken. Wobbly, broken buckle straps (safety issue) we don't risk it with our kids. After asking again, they found another one. Not a great start, but okay. Then we waited at least 10 minutes before our server even came to get drink orders. When she finally did, we placed our food order and she didn't write a single thing down. By the time we needed refills, our server had completely disappeared for 20-30 minutes. Eventually a different server brought our meals. When my husband asked for drink refills, she told us we could refill them ourselves at the station in the front. What?? We've never been told to go refill our own drinks at a sit down restaurant ‍ My husband asked where our server was, and the second server clearly wanted nothing to do with helping us since we weren't "her table." He ended up going inside to find a manager, and the entire front area was full of staff gossiping and arguing with each other. Total chaos. The manager eventually came out and did absolutely nothing to make the situation right. On top of the service issues: * Outdoor seating with no lids for drinks = bugs flying into cups * They clearly need new highchairs if you're advertising as family friendly * Food was very sub par. Mac and cheese was NOT it, brisket was just okay. Dry but good flavor I guess LOL. We were really disappointed. This stop had so much potential, but the service and overall experience were a mess. Honestly, skip this place and pack a lunch!!!!. ‍

The Sunday brunch is excellent! Eclipse has great food and vibe generally. But the brunch does it…read moreup right.
