This restaurant is open during Covid, and offers a modern take on the classic sandwich shop menu…read more Hot panini press sandwiches range from chicken bacon melts and French dips to the NELI (a taco sandwich) and Lobster rolls! Sides are the classic chips, pickles, and antipasta. The restaurant features a lot of local artist work on consignment and the owners have made a great use of tech. A projector in the dining room allows for large scale viewing and QR codes at every table allow for easy ordering of deserts, shakes, and sundaes from the comfort of your post-sandwich comatose state. Wish we didn't live so far away, we'd be regulars!

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.

The restaurant was not packed, but wait for a table was about 20 minutes for a group of 6. I only ordered the salad bar and I don't think they were keeping up with it. There were several items that were either low or empty. And it was also food all over it. So I don't know how often they go through and refill and wipe down the station. I noticed when I was paying that on the paper ticket the gratuity was in 15, 18, 20 % increments.
