We had the ones with Cajun seasoning which were really good but the garlic fries are seriously over the top. When we return (yes, of course we will return) I think I just want garlic fries. Forget the burger I just want to eat those amazing fries. It's a good burger. Juicy, well cooked. Not overdone. The bread was not my favorite. Why does everyone insist on brioche buns? They don't really work for a cheeseburger. It is still a damned good burger. The only real problem is that it will occupy too much room in my stomach that could otherwise be filled with garlic fries. The dining room is a bit small. Let's call it intimate. The staff are wonderful. Go. Eat fries. Life is good.

I was in town to see a show at the 40 Watt. Downtown Athens always has a good meal to be found…read moresomewhere. Today I wanted to have a burger. Some of the more well known places down here I don't like so much for one reason or another. I have been walking past Clocked for years an never tried it. Well, today was going to be the day! I was seated quickly by a friendly staffer. The vibe here is Athens collage restaurant. Which I like. Rather than a burger today I chose the Chicago dog with some cheese fries. This is not a Chicago dog, the bun was toasted and not soft with poppy seeds. Bit it was good. The fries were freshly cooked, crispy, and hot. Cheese sauce was excellent. I go to a 40 Watt or Foundry show about once a month. I will be back to Clocked again to try a burger. I like this place.

Food: Nice size menu with plenty of breakfast and lunch choices. We liked the burger over fries in a salad -plenty of meat and fresh lettuce snd crispy fries. Our friends liked their breakfast food orders. One person tried the meatloaf and said he would order it again; its done in a gravy rather than a tomato sauce. The food came quickly even though the restaurant was fairly full. Service : Our server, Tess, was friendly and efficient. She checked on us frequently and made sure our beverage glasses were not empty. Facility -Clean. comfortable.

Location -Convenient location on a busy city street just outside of town, with lots of shopping nearby.

Service was pleasant, courteous, and food was delivered surprisingly quick for a group. Order and pay at the counter -food is brought out to you and then table service. Location -just 5 miles outside Athens in Winterville. Easy drive. Facility : intentionally slightly rustic Single room, with some outside tables also (uncovered, in the sun and facing the road) Plenty of room between tables inside and outside.

It's got personality in all the right ways. Be prepared to take your time: you'll order at the counter, and since one person is usually juggling everything--taking orders, making coffee, serving food--the line can move slowly. But it's absolutely worth the wait. The food is thoughtfully prepared, the portions are generous, and the vibe is laid-back and genuine.

It was a little warm inside when we visited, but still an enjoyable experience overall. For the buffet, the food was decent with a good variety. There were many southern-style dishes, a nice salad bar, and lots of desserts to choose from. The fried chicken was great, and it was a nice surprise to see low boil seafood available as well. One thing worth noting is that you're required to put on a disposable glove every time you get a plate at the buffet, which felt like a good step for cleanliness. Overall, a pleasant experience with great service, good comfort food, and a charming atmosphere.

This was on a Sunday around Noon. I ordered the Fiesta Omelet with toast and sliced tomato. It was excellent! The toast comes buttered. How cool is that? I happily cleaned my whole plate. I sat at the counter and could watch all the goings on in the kitchen. All the employees were working hard. I recommend tipping more than the customary 20%. For example, I tipped $5.00 on a $12.00 check.

There were 2 other tables that were being taken care of and we sat there for 10-15 minutes, making every effort to make eye contact with the only server, who was doing everything BUT acknowledging us - cleaning up dirty dishes from another customer, standing behind the bar, etc. with ample time to take on another table.
