The first time I went there with my ex when we were still dating we got the cheer wine wings and he said they were like the best ever but the times we have been back since left something to be desired but I think that's like most things , they are great in the beginning and get worse over time. My coworker says the French onion soup is really good. read more

Always good food and the service is top notch. Fun atmosphere. Fits in perfectly in downtown Athens.

I didn't understand the hype. I got a chicken sandwich and the chicken tasted like it was just a frozen chicken breast that they warmed up. So many people had recommended and I was very unimpressed. read more

French fries hands down fav guilty pleasure food! I got salad with tuna and I love how fresh & flavorful! Helpful service in choosing a sour! read more

I come to a annual conference in Athens every year and this is one of the best places I have found. The burgers are great and beer selection is huge. read more

Do not leave Athens unless you visit this restaurant. If you live in Athens and you have not visited the restaurant make sure you do. This place is absolutely fantastic and I go to a lot of restaurants. This is wonderful place . Make sure you ask for Kate Kate was my server and she is absolutely excellent and everybody at the bar is absolutely excellent. ......impeccable service a very clean place with top notch food. Nathan and Mason are the best bartenders I have ever met. read more

I was in town and was looking for a sports bar to watch the Alabama- Notre Dame game. This pub was close so I thought I would give it a try. The sour beer the bar tender recommended was great. The turkey sandwich with avocado and red onion that he also recommended was phenomenal!! The garlic aioli dipping sauce was off the chain! Highly recommend giving this place a try. Obviously they are known for their food because I lost count of the pick up orders. read more

This place knocked my socks off. Everything was great from the food to the service. Extensive beer menu and the food menu is unique. The pimento burger was one of the best burgers I've ever had. You also have to try the raspberry ketchup; it is surprisingly perfect with the fries. Great restaurant! read more

I was in town for business and tried this place for lunch as it was recommended by a friend and close to my hotel downtown. They are in a good location downtown with ample street parking. It was a Monday around 1pm before UGA was back in session so it wasn't very crowded at all. Very nice inside with a great bar area. They have a wide variety of local beers and non local beers on draft. All the menus are still by QR code that take you to their website. I had a chicken bacon ranch sandwich with fries that was about 14 bucks. The fries seem pretty popular as they come with a choice of 3 different dipping sauces. The sauces to choose from are blue cheese, raspberry ketchup and garlic aioli. I had the garlic aioli and it was quite good. The sandwich was tasty and very filling for the price. They had a number of things that looked good on the menu that I'd like to try if I'm in town again. Would definitely recommend this place for lunch or if you looking for a good beer selection. read more

When it's busy service is slow. Food was decent but nothing that write home about. Only one TV but they changed it to the game. Waitress was kind. read more

Super unimpressed with our one visit to this place.. It was packed during the game (completely understandable) but we were able to get a table outside. No table service, also fine given how busy it was but after waiting at the counter for 15 mins we couldn't get anyone's attention to order anything. Drinks or otherwise, numerous parties were served before us even after clearly arriving after we did.. Just seemed really unorganized and chaotic. We finally got one bartenders' attention and she went out of her way to ignore us though we were standing right in front of her for 10 of those 15 mins. Seemed she was more interested then flirting with the guys next to us... We have been to many bars, college bars even, on game days. Not an issue to be busy... but it is an issue to ignore your guests. read more

My son and I drove from Madison for lunch. We were looking for vegan options. This place fit the bill. It was warm and inviting, with lots of 20 somethings which appealed to my son. We had trouble deciding what to get-it all sounded good. We started with the boiled peanuts. They were tasty. My son ordered the veggie sandwich and I had the turkey. Both were very good. The waiters were young, friendly, and full of info. Great time! read more

We recently hosted a rehearsal dinner for 60 guests and it was wonderful! A great private space with the downtown Athens vibe. Awesome food and service. Our guests had such a good time. Staff was professional and very helpful with our audio and video needs so that our party went off without a hitch! The event planner confirmed every detail in advance. A great experience with the planning and a great party that night! read more

Meh. Nothing was extraordinary. The service was good. So close, but execution was just off. Our fries had been sitting under a heat lamp, just ugh. Drinks were ok, again nothing special. read more

Great value, service, and food. Was pleasantly surprised by the ambience and decor. Will definitely return

The food here was very good. We started with the pimento cheese which was excellent. I got the veggie Reuben and a side Caesar salad. The salad was amazing. The sandwich didn't have enough sauce so it was dry. I asked for more and that did the trick. We also got half pours of the beer which I really like over dinner. The service was decent. This is a good place to go if you are looking for something nice-ish but still casual. read more

Sadly, this place was not as great as I remember it being from back in the day. One, the food was just okay... Had a Pimento Cheese Burger, Stuffed Springer Chicken, and a few rounds of craft beers. Obviously, the beers were on point. This place has so many craft beers you can't find in stores. The burger, french fries and raspberry ketchup were probably the best thing ordered. The famous raspberry ketchup is still a dream! The Stuffed Springer Chicken sounded really appetizing on the menu, but sadly, was misleading. It was a grilled chicken breast covered with cheese, cut into two, and ham placed between the two cuts?? Not sure where "stuffed" came in on the dish...I would think layered, maybe. The plate came with potatoes and green beans which were pretty fire, not going to lie. Second, the service/bartenders needs to step their up hospitality game. I don't know if this restaurant was overwhelmed at the time, but the Trappeze experience wasn't what I remembered nor expected. This place used to be the go-to-spot back in the day, I don't know if I can say the same for it anymore. Times have changed. read more

Best fries ever!!! Loved everything we ordered from the burger, beignets, double pig Benedict, and the boiled peanuts were to die for. Friends got veggie reubens and loved them! Great service and even better food! read more

Great food and service. Perfect place for our grad party in their private space arranged through their event planner- everything was exactly as promised from food, bar, waitstaff and cost. Would definitely recommend!! read more

I've been living in Athens for around four years now, and Trappeze became a staple in my life here. Not only was the menu fantastic and wait staff incredible, but the prices were great for a college student like me. Whenever any of my friends needed a recommendation of where to go, I'd always say Trappeze. I went in two nights ago and noticed that their menu had completely changed. My old favorite, the Veggie Rueben had been replaced by a new veggie option. All the signature sandwiches- the turkey and swiss, the pimento burger, and the chicken bacon ranch - were gone too. Not only were their classics gone, but the prices on every menu item had been upped by ~$4. That may not seem crazy, but as a student, it's a lot. I tried the new veggie sandwich and was really underwhelmed by it. My friends who have been coming with me for years also said the food just did not compare to what it used to be. Overall, I am just sad at the idea that my old favorite restaurant is no longer the same. I don't think I'll be going back again, which I'm sad to say, as Trappeze has held such a special place in my heart for so long. read more

As a college student at UGA, this is hands down my (and my roommates) favorite restaurant in Athens. The fries, both regular and sweet potato, are outstanding. I recommend getting garlic aioli sauce with sweet potato fries or the strawberry ketchup with the regular fries. The burgers are phenomenal too. 10/10 would recommend. read more

I'd really love for this place to live up to its potential so gave it another try after a bad experience a few months ago. The beer list underachieves, but worse the food is inexcusably bad. How do cold fries and congealed aioli leave the kitchen let alone be served? Two stars because at least the bartender was attentive and nice. read more

A huge disappointment I don't know what the other reviews are about but let me start with a plate of super dry tortillas for buffalo tofu taco cake out without buffalo sauce WHAT ?????!!!!! Yep and then was told they were out of sauce what ??????!!!! The Tuna taco was ok but ruined by the bad super dry tortilla . The fries were the only good thing but nothing super . Two stars because of the sweet server we had but otherwise Athens disappointed big time with this experience. Sorry people of Athens but come on really ??!! read more

Great food quality and variety, even desserts are good. The drink menu is extensive and you will find beers you may have not seen before.

Fast service food was good. Even though it was busy got seated quickly. Kid friendly.

The Carolina chicken sandwich was amazing. The right blend of spicy and sweet. The were also outstanding with the raspberry ketchup! So yummy! read more

I have had some pretty terrible servers before but the one I had today might be the worst. The hostess sat our party when we got there and then we had two more people joining us last minute. But thankfully our table had enough seats so we didn't think it would be a problem. The server rudely came to our table and shared for next time to make sure we don't get seated until our entire party was here...but "it was fine this time because they were slow". If it was fine then what was the point of sharing this with us? After that, she was so snarky with our party. We didn't know this was the expectations with sitting the entire party and someone could have asked before being rude about it. Thankfully the hostesses were incredible-so friendly. read more

Great draft beer selection. Service is a bit slow but personable. He was very knowledgeable. Enjoyed the rosemary garlic fries and North Carolina trout. Always delicious. They update their taps weekly, so I recommend. read more

As I'm always on the search for The Best Fries, I knew I definitely had to come to Trappeze when it appeared on multiple lists after Googling "best fries in Athens". Did it deliver! The fries, especially with garlic and parmesan, are so so good. The blue cheese and garlic aioli were the perfect dipping sauces. Portions are decently sized, so my dinner partner and I shared the fries, boiled peanuts, and stuffed springer chicken. Be warned, the boiled peanuts are very liberally seasoned. I couldn't stop looking around at what everyone else around us ordered, and was jealous that I didn't have the stomach space to try the burger or any one of the sandwiches! Great food and selection of beer! read more

Great beer selection. Really friendly staff. Food is hit or miss. Good vibes overall.

Great place for food with a wide selection of different beers and mixed drinks/wine. Has a really good vibe to it too.

Went here for a date night and it was very enjoyable! Great atmosphere and staff! Love the pimento cheese appetizer!

Always loved a trip to Trappeze when I was in school, so we came here for our first food stop during a trip to Athens this past weekend- late dinner on Friday night. Located towards the west end of downtown, Trappeze is a great place to visit for lunch or dinner (especially after an afternoon at Creature Comforts or before a night downtown!). It's a mid-sized space, with a main dining room and a separate room to the side with a large bar and additional booths. The atmosphere is perfect- bustling, but not so loud that you can't hear conversations. We put our name in at 8:30 and though the wait was supposed to be 40 minutes, we were seated in 20. We figured service may be a little slower than usual with how crowded it was, but it ended up being crazyyyy slow. We waited 10 minutes for someone to take our drink order, and then the food took another 50 minutes. Yikes. Fortunately, dinner was pretty good: FRIES: Their fries are the bomb, and you can't go wrong with any of their sauces (blue cheese, raspberry ketchup, or garlic aioli). Truth be told, they're one of the main reasons I keep coming back. CHICKEN BACON RANCH: Grilled chicken, bacon, arugula, provolone, and ranch on ciabatta....tasty, though not the best sandwich I've had there. FISH & CHIPS: Boyfriend was disappointed with this choice. The two pieces of fish were pretty mediocre and not worth the $12. Get a sandwich instead. Bottom line- Will return to Trappeze for the convenient location, beer, and fries. Hope the poor service was a fluke and will be back to normal next time. read more

Had a Graduation dinner for around 45 friends and family in the back private room/event space. Event, food, space and service...was all perfect for a nice, casual, festival gathering. Reserving and working with the event manager was easy and we would definitely reserve again! read more

I have to say that I came to this restaurant by default because the office had all of its doors and windows open in 91° heat so I decided to go down the street to a nice little pub that had air-conditioning. They were very busy for a Sunday night folders closure it took them about 20 minutes to see us. The positive my friend was elated that there was a Arizona wildcat beer of some sort and I was pretty happy that they had a berry cider. Both of us loved our garlic aïoli. The food was just awful and I hate to be unkind the French onion soup the mozzarella cheese or Swiss cheese whatever was on the top wasn't melted and I found a hair in my croutons. My friend ordered the double pig and he said he could barely swallow it because it was so dry in the bread was very dry. My chicken and bacon sandwich was equally as dry the fries were cold. The bottom line is I don't think I'll be back to this restaurant. read more

I was very pleasantly surprised. It's beyond pub food. It was a catered private event. There were a variety items. All were excellent. Steak with blue cheese and some hot honey fried chicken were great. Service spot on. Great non-alcoholic cocktails. read more
