Rated as diner food and experience…read more It appears they offer their entire menu all day from what I heard. Menu is not overly large, which I appreciate. Little pricey appetizers, 10 dollars for an order of cheese sticks seems steep, but the rest of the menu is overall ok pricing. I felt like a turkey club. Husband got an egg breakfast and daughter order tenders off the kids menu. Their sandwich was good price and good size - built beautifully and tasted as it should. I only ate 1/2 because it was just very big. My husband said the tenders were good, he ordered a second order to go for himself and our doggo. Place is definitely a dated diner, but everyone was very nice and service was on point. Only side note... bathroom is right in the hallway so if your a nervous potty user... might wanna stop somrwhete before here lol

Jackie O's Public House is great for a casual beer in exposed brick dark high tops kinda hang…read more Jackie O's beer is a stout pillar of the Athens brewing scene. But I write today to praise the Public House for its private party hosting. We just celebrated a big birthday for my wife with 40+ friends. Jackie O's uptown is central, everyone knows it, and it has history for so many of us. In my case going back to the 80s when it was still O'Hooley's and I'd meet my Dad there Friday afternoons after school when he and his colleagues would kick off the end of the work week. It still plays that role for many in this college town. But back to the private party. Chelsea was a pleasure to work with, entertaining all my questions about combinations from the catering menu, deciding on open bar with cocktails, without, just beer and wine, ticket system etc. All are options depending on your crowd and your budget. We went full open bar and mercifully our friends took it easy on us in the 6-8pm timeslot we reserved the whole place for. We went with a combo of meats, cheeses, fruit, veggies that you can get at a per person rate minimum 20. We then also go some of each of the five pizza options. We had leftovers but not a bad thing. For dessert, we had the option to bring in our own cake, but instead tried their chocolate and snickerdoodle parfaits that went down very well. It isn't something you do every month or every year. But it really worked for us for a big birthday and we've attended a number of great work networking receptions there as well. And finally, as many know, Art Oestrike the owner of Jackie O's is a leader in investing in community and sustainability, delivering a creative and quality product and experience whether that is in the three Athens locations or Jackie O's on Fourth in Columbus. A business and team worth supporting.

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 place functions primarily as a daytime café, but on Fridays and Saturdays, the chef/owner crafts a rotating four-course menu that changes weekly. There is a shared bread or antipasto course for the table, then a choice of soup or salad, two entrees, and two desserts. We went the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. The bread course was a delicious focaccia, light and pillowy and infused with rosemary flavor. When we told our server how much we loved it, she offered us a clamshell with two additional slices to take home. That was such a nice gesture! I had the soup (a cream-based Italian soup with sausage, kale and potatoes), while my husband had the salad with homemade balsamic dressing. Both hit the spot. The dinner options were a choice of pastas. I had the puttanesca, which was bursting with big flavors from the garlic, anchovy and olives. If I had one slight criticism, it would have been that I'd have loved a touch more red pepper -- but I'll freely admit I have a higher spice tolerance than most people. My husband had the "summer fettuccine," which was prepared with bacon, corn and sun-dried tomatoes in a Gorgonzola cream sauce. I didn't taste it because I'm not a fan of the Gorgonzola flavor, but he raved. Both desserts were superb: a strawberry cake and an apple cake that our server informed us was also vegan. We never would have known. It was not dense at all in the way some vegan desserts can be. The server and the chef/owner were both so lovely and welcoming to two non-locals who stumbled in for dinner on a rainy night. It seemed like they knew everyone else there by name, so this is definitely a warm and inviting neighborhood place. The four-course dinner is a steal at $38 per person (plus tax and tip). It's also BYOB. We will surely be back on our next trip to Athens!

I only went by myself to check it out but the general atmosphere of the place is an inviting and exciting one that encourages you to interact with anyone that goes with you. Overall, the Pigskin is a classic restaurant to the city of Athens if not Athens County as a whole. I am sure to come back, I'll just have to bring some friends and family when I do.
