The ladies were nice. $10.25 for this though wasn’t really worth it. Especially when it came to the eggs. Very small portion🫤

Very impressed with Em’s Kitchen. I walked in and it smelled like freshly baked goods. The place was clean and the workers were friendly and welcoming. I had the egg salad sandwich and it was amazing. The egg salad was tasty and it was served on toasted marble rye. YUM.

Eating at Em's Kitchen is like having lunch at the best cook in your family's house. It's consistantly good food. It is comforting and tastey. The staff is quick and friendly. Em's is a wonderful choice for catering, too. Do not skip dessert.

I am so fortunate to have found this place. The food is made with love and it brings feelings of nostalgia. Heartfelt family meals! I especially like the tuna salad sandwich. Thank you!

Get the Em’s chicken salad or BLT - both have been amazing when visiting. Great service and atmosphere - also great prices in today’s crazy economy. Go support local in Athens!

Covid update. They are open for inside and outdoor dining. Masks are required until you’re seated. Employees all had masks on. I had the shrimp wrap special one Friday, and it was absolutely delicious. It had a very nice chipotle flavor. My husband, as always, got the Cuban, which he loves. I also, as always, got a bowl of the Brunswick stew with cornbread. My only regret is that I’m not again eating this meal right now. No changes to the parking, but there’s a big grocery store parking lot right next door. Still highly recommend. Have been here a few times. Very cute and intimate place for breakfast and lunch. I’ve had the over easy eggs, the Cuban sandwich, and the Brunswick stew. One of my favorite places in Athens to get Brunswick stew, actually. There is not a lot of seating, not very much parking, and it gets pretty packed at lunchtime, so I would advise against going during peak hours.

Very cozy lil place. Love the choice of indoor and outdoor dining. Fried green tomato BLT was delicious! Brunswick stew was good/ok. Only downfall was the cornbread had no flavor, yet the texture & bake was beautifully done. The staff were so sweet and are an example of southern hospitality!! Highly recommend & will return to try the breakfast.
