Athens is packed with so many wonderful restaurants, and you shouldn’t leave without eating at just a couple of these foodie hot spots.
The Grit: Be sure to stop by The Grit and check out the vegan and vegetarian menu! The weekend brunch is to die for, and you haven’t tried a slice of cake until you taste the vegan cake option.
Last Resort Grill: A bit pricy, Last Resort Grill is the perfect place to take your parents when they visit! If you’re ambitious, try and get every type of dessert before you leave Athens.
Clocked: You haven’t had a hamburger until you’ve eaten the Friendship Burger with you best friends at Clocked! The people at Clocked get creative and make hamburger creations you couldn’t even imagine.
Ted’s Most Best: Whether you want to sit outside under the festive lights, inside the exposed brick restaurant, eat a fresh salad, or scarf down a delicious pizza, Ted’s has something for you!
Trappeze Pub: A wide selection of beers and food, Trappeze Pub is a fun environment any night of the week. You wont go wrong with any of the many menu options.
Big City Bread Café: My personal favorite, Big City Bread is a hidden oasis. Go on a sunny day and sit outside. You will never be bored with the dogs sitting outside, the chalk that’s available to play with, and the fresh bread.
Square One Fish Co.: If you’re in the mood for some seafood, head on over to Square One Fish Co. and enjoy a wide selection. The raw and steamed oysters are a great option!
Mama’s Boy: Mama’s Boy is a guaranteed win for any time of the day. The fresh biscuits are delicious, and you will not be disappointed in the delicious lemonade.
Some other great hidden gems include Heirloom Café & Fresh Market, Grindhouse Killer Burgers, DePalma’s Italian Café, The National, Marti’s at Midday, Five Bar, 5 & 10, The Royal Peasant, Cali N Tito’s, and White Tiger Gourmet.
