Far be it from me to give a bad rap to a restaurant that's clearly struggling, but this was…read moreprobably the worst meal I've ordered in a very, very long time. We were visiting Athens, Tennessee and wanted to explore the small downtown area. I looked to Yelp to find a spot for lunch and this restaurant came up with some decent reviews for the chicken salad and the pimento sandwiches. I can't speak for the quality of the chicken salad sandwich because my husband ate it and he's pretty forgiving, but the pimento cheese sandwich was horrible. To add insult to injury, I poured myself a lemonade soon to discover it was water. When I spoke to one of the teenage cooks/servers about it, she said she knew, but didn't know how to fix it. Just a half block away is another really wonderful restaurant called Pie Hound. There are other restaurants in the area that would also be better choices.

Can you believe that I have never been to a Waffle House? Well, I can check that off my list. One…read morething that I did want to do was stop at one of these at least once before heading home. We had one in the town we were staying in, but never got around to stopping. On our way out and on our way home we decided to give this a go as our late breakfast/lunch. It was easy to find and park. We walk in and right up to the counter and prepared for our show...I mean meal. Once we got to the counter and started looking over the menu the show started. It was quite entertaining watching the crew interact with one another. They were selecting the songs on the jukebox and jamming out to it as they had this store under control and working smoothly. I even caught myself laughing with other patrons as they were joking with one another. I knew I wanted Biscuits and Gravy, but I saw the hashbrown bowls and decided I'd go with one of those too, with sausage. My Dad went with one of their general breakfasts that came with a waffle. The food was what I expected and I really can't say much that hasn't been said by other people that have reviewed any Waffle House out there. What I enjoyed was the lively atmosphere. Being able to see that chef quickly get through the orders right in front of you. The servers were buzzing about like worker bees, and that's not because of the black and yellow coloring. Was it memorable? A bit, the first time eating at one, and the overall fun of the place.

Things we noticed right away included: No manager was ever seen walking the floor, so I can only assume they've done away with the position; Two stationed at the hostess podium were more concerned in playing grab-ass with the waitresses than their job; waitresses/waiters now have to bus their own tables. As for the food, while adequately prepared by the time it arrived at our table it was lukewarm. The fish was just above room temperature, the potatoes were almost warm (yet not quite), and the apples were actually served fresh and semi-hot. They have gone away from canned biscuits now, so that is a plus. Our waitress dropped the ticket on the table mid-meal and never returned. Since its fairly hard to digest a meal with-out anything to drink, I had to run another waitress down to refill my drink. She happily obliged and earned our full tip for the evening. To sum it up, not much has changed over the past year and a half. While it's not really Rocket Science to serve a freshly prepared hot meal to your patrons, for some peculiar reason it continues to be just beyond their desire to do so.
