The service was good but I just didn't think the food was worth it. Seemed like prepackaged microwave food. The restaurant itself was fine. It got a bit warm in there, like the AC wasn't keeping up. Also, we had to wait a bit to be seated and the entrance/waiting area is very small and uncomfortable. read more

The chicken tasted amazing and had great customer service, and while you won't have the experience, my girlfriend made it amazing, but it brought out the best in her, how could it not with the amazing ambiance inside. The lights and colors just worked great together, and so did the staff. Go eat there. read more

The Local 706 - Bars Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Such a great place to watch the game! Burgers are outstanding. Can't wait to visit again before our next race.

I was picking up a to go order tried to talk to two servers and they were rude af one of them (the one that looks like she is tired of being there and old) said I can't do it right now you'll have to wait I understand you are slammed but there wasn't a reason to be rude af and probably is because their clientele is mostly white and im minority they couldn't give a crop so steer away if you are minority read more

The staff wasn't very attentive. I ordered the buffalo Mac and cheese and the chicken was very burnt. Another waitress ended up taking care of us more so than our actual waitress. The mozzarella bites were very tasty though! read more

Food, service, and ambiance is great for a pub style restaurant. The trivia is pretty fun.

Sat down and waited for 30 minutes. They sat us at a wobbly table that was right by the kitchen with people going in and out. Thought it was weird they sat us at the worst possible table when there were several open tables available. Then, we weren't helped in 30 minutes, no drinks, not even menus. We watched everyone else in the restaurant get waited on, even people who walked in after us. It felt weirdly personal. We walked out after the 30 minutes because it was obvious we weren't getting helped. You must have to be a certain kind of person go there.... read more

Great service. Relaxed atmosphere with sports playing on tv. Enjoyed the food especially the sweet potato fries smothered in garlic sauce and bacon read more

The Local 706 - Southern Burger and sweet potato tots! - Bars Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Live local to Athens but has never been until this weekend. Took the kids as well. Food was great and fresh. Nothing frozen. Had healthy options as well. Great place for a cold drink and watching sports in the patio. Will be going back on the reg. read more

Food was amazing and came out in a timely fashion despite the place being absolutely packed out. Server was great and very helpful about what was good on the menu and it was. Drinks at the bar were delicious i had a beer and my wife had something fruity that she loved. Will be dining here again read more

The service is AMAZING! Happy and attentive but they dont hover. The local burger was fantastic as were the onion rings and fries!

Came here after a Bulldog game. This is a hip and busy spot especially on game days, which can be expected in any college town. They offer many beers on tap, bottled beer and everything else that comes with a full bar. The food offerings can be considered pub or bar food. We had a group of 4 and each ordered a few things so that we can give this place a fair shake. The only reason there is a missing is due to the fact that our mushrooms were burnt (the breading was burnt but the mushroom itself was ok). The staff was friendly and attentive. Though our waitress was not a person who drinks she was still able to suggest my wife the best beer to try (Automatic, IPA). How she did that idk but kudos to her for knowing! I was so excited for my wings I forgot to take pics of them, my wife's burger or the Pimento & Bacon grilled cheese. However trust me when I say you will not be disappointed. read more

Food was decent. Service was not great. Asked for a BBQ sandwich and had a burger brought out. I told the waitress and she said she put it in the system wrong and ended up getting me my BBQ sandwich eventually. Also - i ordered a mojito and it had tequila in it...i've never ever heard of a mojito with anything in it but rum. Very odd. Probably not returning here. read more

Great burgers and snacks to enjoy. Atmosphere is great to watch a game and enjoy time with friends

I eat at Local 706 on a regular basis and have never been disappointed. Service has always been outstanding and very friendly atmosphere. Backyard Burger- Delicious Sweet Potato Tots- Delicious The Rooster Flatbread- Delicious I've had many items off of the menu but these are just of few of my go-to's. read more

The Local 706 - Backyard burger (smoked bacon, cheddar cheese, sweet bbq sauce and caramelized onions) with sweet potato tots. - Bars Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Came in a few weeks ago. The service was horrible, I tried to return my food because my order was wrong, my server went by the name of "Lovey" or something along those lines. She was insisting that she entered the order correctly. Among the commotion I decided to just deal with it and paid full amount without tip. Wouldn't recommend! read more

Much better places to eat to Athens. Probably the worst service that I've ever experienced. Food took well over an hour to get after ordering. Waitress checked on us once during that time. Ended up refilling our own water at bar. Zero work ethic at this place. read more

Located in 5 points with Great drinks choices and good bites to eat. They have trivia one night of the week. Fun! Check this place out.

First time here, food was good. My mojito tasted like dirty coins. It was obvious the bartender doesn't have a lot of experience. Our waitress was nice but she "auctioned off" food. Not a big deal but it's nice when your server knows where the food is going and doesn't have to guess on every single meal. The food runner needed a little more experience in table manners. My friends at the table were asking for sauces and it was an awkward interaction of him running away from the table. To top it all off I found a hair underneath my chicken sandwich after I had finished it. You can see the hair in the picture. Gross. read more

The Local 706 - Chicken sandwich - Bars Near Me - Athens, Georgia

This place slaps. Their buffalo chicken is *chefs kiss* and I'm a buffalo chicken kinda gal. Great service, good vibes. They are more on the expensive side so that's something to consider. read more

#1 Tip: come for the appetizers & the drinks, eh on the main dishes. This is the second time we got cheddar bites and they are sooo yummy - mini mozzarella sticks. The fried pickles were cut up spears rather than hamburger chips which I really liked! Served with a side of ranch. The southern burger TBH was really mediocre. I probably wouldn't get it again. The waffles fries however are really good and have an interesting seasoning with a little kick. The caesar salad with chicken was a typical caesar salad. They seem to be really understaffed because all of the servers were scrambling around, but despite that, we didn't have slow service. It also could have been because we went on trivia night (which is super fun, BTW, highly recommend), so, no hate. Anyway, I would come back for the apps & trivia, but not for the dinner. read more

We decided to come here for an early dinner. The place was a little loud and the heaters outside didn't work very well. The food was good, but it was kind of cold when I got here so they gave us two extra basket a face. The only other complaint that I have is that it took a little while to get out. Overall I recommend coming here at a peculiar time so that it's not busy. read more

Been coming here at least once during every visit to Athens. The food is consistently great from the fried deviled eggs (must have) to the burgers to the bowls. Great atmosphere and service is always top notch. read more

I really enjoyed the Local 706!! My friends said their Buffalo chicken was too spicy, but I got the Asian and pollo tacos and was going Hamm. I also got a huge $5 margarita which was so good!! Even better, the tacos were only $2 each, so this was a pretty inexpensive dinner for me. I want to come back and try the bowls! read more

This was a delicious meal! The owner came over snd seated us, and told us his favs! He wrote all the recipes so we trusted his judgement! The southern burger was awesome! Definitely great flavor on the burger and in the pattys. The margarita flatbread was a great starter. And we both enjoyed the chicken Parm sub. Glad we were able to visit this place when in town. read more

The Local 706 - This was a delicious meal! - Bars Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Met a colleague for lunch around 12 today. The restaurant had a nice crowd but the server was quick to come take our drink order. We split the 16 wings to start, half Buffalo and half lemon pepper. I would definitely recommend the lemon pepper, the Buffalo weren't bad, I just prefer a little more heat. We both had hamburgers, I had the Southern which had pimento cheese, fried green tomatoes and their special sauce. Let me start by saying the beef on the burger was amazing! It is more of a "smash burger" than patty but you get two patties. I'm pretty sure they use a high quality of meat because my colleague had their burger plain and also agreed the flavor of the patties were amazing. This place is also a great place to watch a football game, lots of TVs and seating outside. Definitely will be back after work to try their cocktails. I think this is a great addition to 5 Points read more

I came back because I loved the atmosphere of the outdoor patio and my steak flatbread, but ordered a local burger this time. It was SO GOOD. And the fries were seasoned so nicely! I just love this place. read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Drinks: 4/5 Overall: Atmosphere is great for Gameday and has a bunch of tvs. The servers and bartenders provide good service and hospitality. Food comes out pretty quick and always tastes fresh. Good selection of draft beers and local breweries. Recommendations: - Sausage Cheese Dip - Wings (hot honey mustard and vinegar bbq) - sweet potato tots read more

I never leave a bad review, this one is well deserved. Went there on a night where there were people, but I wouldn't say busy though (Wednesday night) My daughter ordered a salad, I got a pimento cheese sandwich. That took 40 minutes. My sandwich was burned and hard. Her salad had onions even though she requested they be left off and her chicken was also burned. Server was nice, but never refilled my water in the hour we were there. Just apologized for slow service. The fried pickles were good. That kept them at 2 stars. We won't be back. Athens has too many good places to eat to come back here read more

I was very excited from looking at the menu online, which included a good selection of vegetables on the lunch menu. absolutely not what is on the menu. Based on the website, I sent friends there who wasted their time. I called and was told the owner is updating the menu now. Be aware. Very disappointing. Clearly wants to be a one dimensional sports bar. I believe there is a good clientele for a restaurant that offers a menu like the original one on the website, meat and three type of place or just a vegetable plate $12. too bad read more

Bartenders are polite and attentive. They have a great selection of cocktails, beer, and spirits. The food goes well with the drinks and the environment is welcoming. There is trivia night on Wednesday's which adds to the welcoming vibes. I personally recommend the afternoon siesta. read more

Service was terrible food was brought out cold and found hair in it. Overall was a terrible experience it also took an hour

This place was delightful. Good sando's and although I am not a Philly Cheese Steak expert mine was very good. Bread fresh and food was hot. My wife had the grilled pimento cheese and bacon and it was very good and hot also. Do not order the Greek Spinach balls however. Very salty, not hot and frankly not very tasty. They should remove from the otherwise excellent menu. Service was good even though the bartender was grumpy so we rated it a 4. Still recommend the place highly. read more
