    Breakfast on the road home!!
    Cher W.

    Waffle House - you know these are what they are and the staff makes the place. We had a great server ,Angel, and that made all the difference! The food was what we wanted and we enjoyed the time while we ate! This is a great pit stop on the road..

    A perfect Waffle House dinner.

    What a great Waffle House. The store was clean, well lit, and the workers were courteous and friendly. My food was perfectly cooked, five stars.

    I can Waffle on about Waffle House for hours and hours, but I won't. I'll just tell you - it's good. I stopped in Athens Tennessee a number of times - usually to spend the night. It's your typical little American town, with every chain that you can imagine. Waffle House is one of the better ones because it's open 24 hours, and even though they always make me run (very quickly) to the bathroom, their hashbrowns all the way are pretty excellent. Or can be, depending who is cooking. Especially if you get extra chili all over them to make them really wet. Speaking of really wet the last time I was with here I was with my girlfriend. End of review.

    Stay away DONT go here.

    We had not been back to Cracker Barrel since their nationwide Remodeling Fiasco, but figured we'd…read moregive it a try once again... Things we noticed right away included: No manager was ever seen walking the floor, so I can only assume they've done away with the position; Two stationed at the hostess podium were more concerned in playing grab-ass with the waitresses than their job; waitresses/waiters now have to bus their own tables. As for the food, while adequately prepared by the time it arrived at our table it was lukewarm. The fish was just above room temperature, the potatoes were almost warm (yet not quite), and the apples were actually served fresh and semi-hot. They have gone away from canned biscuits now, so that is a plus. Our waitress dropped the ticket on the table mid-meal and never returned. Since its fairly hard to digest a meal with-out anything to drink, I had to run another waitress down to refill my drink. She happily obliged and earned our full tip for the evening. To sum it up, not much has changed over the past year and a half. While it's not really Rocket Science to serve a freshly prepared hot meal to your patrons, for some peculiar reason it continues to be just beyond their desire to do so.

    So I met up with my sister and the fam she from Ohio and I from Georgia, and this was the middle…read moreman lol but we were hungry, so this was perfect. It did not disappoint, and everything was delicious. We had a great time, and the service was perfect!!! Even though it was packed, service was on point, and we didn't have to wait too long for our food and beverages. The place was nice and cozy. Was so excited, I bought a couple of Friends and Gilmore Girls mugs that were on sale. Iwish they had a Friend section. This could be our meet point from now on.

Applebee's, 2536 Decatur Pk, Athens -- Grade: 71 on Dec 11, 2025 To begin with, the inspector found a live roach in the kitchen; there were also dead roaches and mouse droppings in the area. The inspector discussed a treatment plan with the manager. An employee who entered the kitchen from the back door didn't wash his hands as he began to prepare food. Another kitchen worker preparing raw hamburger didn't change his gloves before going onto another task, but it's required to prevent the spread of bacteria from the raw burger. There's more. When the inspector checked the dishwasher, no sanitizer was running through it, but it's required to properly wash, clean, and sanitize dishes and utensils. The inspector also wrote that employees were wearing excessive jewelry. Rings, watches, and bracelets have crevices where bacteria and dirt can hide, potentially contaminating food. Another employee was observed drinking out of an unapproved container in the kitchen. Kitchen workers are allowed to sip drinks while working, but the containers must have a top and a straw to prevent any accidental spills onto food. (per Don Dare of WATE NEWS)

Folks come in very casual attire, some arrive in fully formal clothes, and everything in between. It's a really comfortable vibe and that's something that I appreciate. Maybe you do, too? The owners are a couple and chances are they'll be the ones waiting on you, preparing your food, and treating you love a neighbor who came out to have a good time. Locals who I know LOVE it here. The food is always great, and if the have homemade egg rolls, try them. They're amazing! Also, one of the best burgers I've ever had, and among the ways that we're spoiled in Athens, we have several places with GREAT burgers. Seriously. I mean, don't come to Athens just to eat at a chain. Come on downtown and try places like this and nibble around the edges of town for a few other treats. The name is appropriate. It's THE OPEN DOOR in "the friendly city" in a small, pretty, southern town fercryinoutloud. So I expected that and T.O.D. delivered. Well, I ate-in several times and I don't even know if they Door Dash. It's just an expression, OK? This is not the review to take literally. It's still honest. I've had steak, chicken, prime rib, burgers, the aforementioned egg rolls, and a catfish dinner and it was delicious EVERY time. Every damn time. Folks enjoy the drinks here and this place has huge extra rooms that they open when it's warranted. They don't always have enough staff to be like a chain restaurant/bar and they employ some intermittent staff for busy events, so I don't come expecting a hostess type greeting, white linen, and tables set and ready. They're usually hustling to keep up, take care of their guests who are, from my observation(s), usually friends and neighbors and regulars, and a few folks who are just visiting sprinkled-in for good measure. Yet, it's not so local that the player piano stops and everyone stares when you swing through the saloon doors. Well, through the pretty front door and IF it had saloon doors. It's friendly and welcoming without people being all up in your business. If you're feeling like you're in a hurry, take a deep breath and relax and maybe sit at the bar.

    Absolutely the best food in Athens. Best hamburger you can find and incredible service.read more
