HS J Calm place with good food. We ordered enchiladas and short ribs. Short ribs were our favorite. Service was fast and good, and the place was nice as well.

P Carter Great spot for a nice casual lunch. All staff were extremely nice and food was good.

Barbara Gray Fabulous server; Karen was attentive, friendly, gave great suggestions when asked. The homemade French bread with olive oil and balsamic great starter. The lightly breaded chicken with subsided tomatoes and angel hair pasta was fabulous! The Affogato a tiramisu version served in a parfait glass was a fantastic dessert choice!! Will be back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Joe Donahue Sea bear is a wonderful institution. It’s got a friendly, casual vibe, fantastic oysters, friendly bartenders, and a first class kitchen. Great beer and cocktail list, and a wonderful value.

Claire Campbell Athens Cooks is one of my favorite shops/restaurants in town. I always find gifts there for everyone. The pricing is very reasonable and comparable with online shops. Plus, they serve amazing sandwiches, soups, tea & coffee. In fact, one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had came from Athens Cooks! The service and food has always been superb, the portions are nice-sized, and everything is well-seasoned.

Victoria McCorkindale Absolutely loved this quirky little place. We are road tripping through the state and found this place on google maps. We were looking for somewhere with good meat and vegetarian options and this place has lots of great options. Plus, we could sit outside with the dog. We all really enjoyed the food. My family loved the Mac and cheese and pimento cheese and crackers. The tofu salad was great. Also ordered was the BBQ pork sandwich, smoked chicken sandwich, portobello burger and the bacon cheeseburger. All really good eats! The service was awesome. So friendly and accommodating. Totally recommend this place and it is a shame we probably won’t be back. Go!

Simon Robson Great stop for a quick delicious Greek dish. Nice staff and atmosphere. Very reasonable prices and portions are generous. I did a quick take out order of a chicken wrap.

COŞAR Uzun We have tried with my wife and we really loved The Globe. It was a great pleasure to listen to the music group composed of retired and young people. The food (cod fries) is excellent, with german Drinks bitBurger.

Laura Brady If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Our server, Lucy, was a breath of fresh air and took care of us like we were family. She was a consummate professional, appearing quietly at our side to refill beverages, offer more guidance, and explain menu details.The food was delicious. Our party of 5 had different offerings and we were all so pleased. The food was served attractively and all of the unique ingredients blended extremely well together. The atmosphere was quietly elegant and the price point was, in my opinion, fabulous.

adyy The food was so bomb! The service is great, staff is really nice. Everything looks clean and organized. The wait times were very low :) Would definitely recommend this place

David Martin Amazing food, amazing staff, amazing atmosphere. Love that Jim And Nicks is part of Athens cuisine!

Nick Chavis Today I tried the Cajun Chicken Sandwich and fries as well as the Thai Basil Fried Rice with a 6pc Jamaican Jerk Wings ( the former is not pictured because it was devoured lol). Everything was very flavorful. Easy on the jerk if you’re not keen on spice. Everyone who worked there was pleasant and made sure the experience there was a great one. Highly recommend, I will be going back.

Micaela Perez Ferrero Five & Ten hosted us to celebrate my mother’s milestone birthday and they were absolutely incredible. Their general manager, Janeane, was immediately responsive and able to help us bring our vision to life. Their pastry chef, Megan, made a beautiful cake as well as delicious crepes to top off the dinner. The team even printed happy birthday in Spanish on the menus - a sweet unexpected surprise that made a huge impact on us. The staff were so friendly and attentive, and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely book our next event with Five & Ten. It was an unforgettable experience!

Ciara Chapman, Realtor This was my first time coming here and it definitely will not be the last! I loved everything about this place. The atmosphere was quaint and calm, the options were of variety and had things I had never had before. If I could have ordered everything I would have. The service was top notch, our waitress was attentive and answered any questions plus offer suggestions. My mouth is watering just thinking of going back. The food was plentiful and seasoned perfectly. You get a great amount of food for the price as well.

COŞAR Uzun It has a wonderful atmosphere and environment. All the drinks and appetizers I tried were delicious. You can watch the outside from the tables you sit at. You can chat with your friends comfortably with soft music. Also, the staff was very cheerful and friendly. My wife and I loved it.
