Family-run, friendly, and fresh! Great food at great prices — just like grandma used to make. You can’t go wrong with Strickland’s!

I’m not a big cafeteria style meal person, but this local joint fills a void of quick, southern, low cost meals. Food could use some seasonings but that’s cafeteria food. Staff is friendly. Seating area is open and appears to be a favorite with contractors and locals. Great meeting place for groups to meet. Parking is adequate but you will have to go to the rear of the restaurant.

Everything was fresh and tasted ok. I'm just not a fan myself. I liked the sausage biscuit better than the chicken biscuit. The chicken was a little dry but had a good taste. Staff was all great.

Very friendly staff. Cafeteria style service. Fair pricing for home style country cooking. Chef's kiss to the biscuits and gravy. I will definitely eat here again.

The food here had a wonderful taste and they are generous with their portions. They close at 2 o’clock and today I got there at 1:30. Almost all of my food was cold. Cold okra, cold fried chicken livers, and cold sweet potato soufflé… I took a few bites of everything and I ate all of the field peas which were warm. I packed up the rest of the food to go. Hopefully I can successfully heat up the okra and the fried chicken livers either in my oven or in my air fryer. I’m sure I can heat up the sweet potato soufflé in the microwave. I will go back one day and give them another try. Like I said, the taste of my food was good and the restaurant was very generous with their portions. In addition, the personnel who worked there seemed to really like each other and were very positive and pleasant. I will definitely get there a lot earlier next time in hopes that my food will be hot.

Best place in Athens for old school breakfast food. Extremely popular for takeout food on the way to work. My favorites are their bacon & egg biscuit and sausage gravy biscuit. I always try a sausage gravy biscuit everywhere I go that has one (even when traveling), and I can easily say that Strickland's has the best one. They also serve lunch, but I rarely get a chance to go during that timeframe, so I can't comment much as to their lunch offerings. I do have friends that love it, though. There can be a decent sized line at times, but they are usually very efficient and quickly move the line along, so waits are usually minimal.

In the home of the G Dawgs and hits all the other Gs - Great food, Great prices and a business run by Great folks. Don't miss out next time you're in or near Athens!

If you want to punish yourself and you like food without flavor, you have found heaven. Cheesy potatoes defied the laws of gravity, the chicken breast was drier than fossils, and the greens were watery. The best thing about the meal was the napkins. The bathroom was out of a horror movie, complete with a flickering light. Just don't do it.
