I visited for a meal about a week ago while in the area. This is a small, older diner located on…read morethe edges of downtown Athens. It's easy walking distance from the square and I enjoyed wandering a bit on my way over. Parking is street parking but I didn't find it too challenging, at least on a week day. The inside is showing its age but was clean enough. The restaurant is a little narrow and cramped though. One of the waitresses spoke to me loudly from where she was seated at a table near the back of the restaurant and told me to sit where I liked. She brought me a menu shortly after. The menu is somewhat limited, with basic breakfasts and lunches, to include omelets, biscuits, hamburgers, club sandwiches, etc. I like a simple menu done well. It was a little early for lunch, so I wound up ordering two scrambled eggs, which comes with biscuits and gravy or toast with grits. Any other side is basically a la carte, which isn't necessarily my preference but ultimately the pricing comes out to about the same as if you'd had a more extensive meal combination, so I suppose it works out nicely for those who want smaller, simpler breakfasts. I don't care for biscuits and gravy so I ordered toast and grits, then added on bacon and an order of hash browns. Sweet tea to drink. My meal was ~$15 when all was said and done, which I think is acceptable. The inside of the diner is kind of echo-y. Three other patrons were inside, all seated at different tables but all conversing with each other rather loudly (and seemingly not eating anything??) the entire time I was there. This isn't WSD's fault and I don't hold it against them, just want to make others aware of the atmosphere in case they're looking for an extra quiet location to eat. Service was adequate; not super friendly and more reactive than proactive (eg, no one ever came to check if I liked my food okay or if I needed a refill; pretty much the only time I got any attention once my food was dropped off was when I stood up to walk to the register). But they weren't rude or anything and my food came out in a timely manner. I didn't need anything special so it worked out. My food was okay. The toast was cooked well but wound up a little soggy somehow. I don't like grits much but I gave these a try; they weren't bad as far as grits go. The bacon was cooked fairly well. The hash browns were my favorite part and were actually quite crispy, which is how I like them. The eggs were the weak point and were fairly unevenly cooked, with some bits being thin and crispy and others so runny even I was a little skeptical (and I like my scrambled eggs on the softer side). The sweet tea was also a little watery. I'd give the food a 3.5/5 overall. Decent place for a local diner meal.

Absolutely abysmal. The staff was unfriendly, to the extent that we felt as though we were putting…read morethem out by spending our money there. Arrived at 1:15 (door and Google said they closed at 2). Disappointed that this "diner" didn't have soup on their limited menu, but after a quick glance at the menu ordered a simple cheeseburger and fried bologna & cheese sandwich. My GF asked if they could do grilled onions on her burger, and got an grunted "we could do that". The server then asked whether we'd like chips or hash browns with our sandwiches and we opted for chips. I added an iced tea. The food was dropped off (still not a smile or welcoming word spoken). The smallish burger was slightly larger than a McDonald's single burger and the bologna sandwich featured a single 1/8" slice of bologna and a single slice of Kraft American cheese. The burger was reportedly fine and my sandwich was something my 4 year old granddaughter could've prepared. It was explained that the chips were additional (we didn't ask for them, they were casually offered). Never implied that they were an add-on. The unhappy server spent the entire time which we were there (20 minutes total) with her jackets on and bag on the table, staring at us to finish this subpar, overpriced, lunch. I am not one to slam a small business (see my 200+ reviews). My recommendation would be to chose ANYWHERE ELSE to support in Athens. The attitude was poor, the food below average in quality and low on the value scale. Really a bad experience overall. These ungrateful folks don't deserve your time or money.

Stopped by here for a late-ish breakfast with my mom while running errands a few weeks ago. We had…read morea very nice time. This little restaurant is easy to miss but it has a yellow sign and is off Winchester road. There were a few other diners hanging out and eating when we walked in. The atmosphere was simple and straightforward tables and booths. It was very clean. The menu offers breakfast and lunch and you order at the counter. The woman working at the counter recommended breakfast specifically so that's what we ordered. I ordered the bacon plate, which came with bacon, 2 eggs (I asked for scrambled), toast, and tater tots - I suppose in place of hash browns. My mom got the biscuit and gravy. Service was super friendly and working hard. Our food came out hot, fresh, and plated nicely. What I ordered wasn't what I got. I think the employee might have misunderstood me. What she delivered to me was 2 scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, and a pancake. No tater tots. I honestly had kind of wanted to try the pancake anyway and I prefer hash browns to tots for breakfast so that wasn't a great loss; therefore, I figured it was a sign from the universe I was meant to eat the pancake and didn't send it back. My mom's order was correct. Both of us enjoyed our food. She said there was some type of seasoning in the gravy that she hadn't expected or wasn't normally in it but that she really liked. My eggs were cooked well and had already been seasoned amply; they were good eggs and didn't need the hot sauce I occasionally add to dress eggs up. The toast was lightly golden and they had jam for it. They were also generous with the bacon portion and it too was also cooked well. It was good I didn't send my food back because the star of the show was definitely the pancake. It had a little drizzle of caramel or perhaps dulce de leche on the top that really elevated it. It was cooked perfectly, so fluffy and buttery with just a little flavor from the browning...it was a BOMB pancake, y'all. Simple, classic food, prepared quite well, served by super nice people. Give them a try, especially for breakfast!
