We stopped in here because it was open late... The food was fresh and delicious!!! The waitresses were nice but didn't come by to ask for a refill on our drinks til we were done eating. But it was later in the evening and they may have had …

This place was a treat!! Cute dinner atmosphere, great staff, and really good food. Being Christmas Eve, they were short on staff. But you didn't really feel it at all. Definitely coming back next time we're in the area! Also, definitely try the feta dip with your fries. Similar to a blue cheese dressing taste.

Stopped in on a Friday night around midnight. We were greeted and seated right away. The staff was friendly and the food was good. We had a burger w/fries and fried w/feta. Everything was good and the portion of fries was huge. Definitely good, and a good spot for late night dining.

The vibes! Loved the old school diner feel. The food was even better. Real smash burger cooked perfectly. Regretting not trying their Feta Sauce. Service was great.

A go to burger spot in downtown Athens. My burger was delicious. The burger is hand patted so none are the same which I like. The bun was toasted perfectly. My fries, which are hand cut, were a little cold. The atmosphere is great and inviting. Check it out when you’re in Athens!

First time visiting this place. At first appearance it has an old diner vibe which is cool. I headed to the bathroom and sink was dirty. This place could use a deep clean, but I know it's an older place as well. Waitress and hostess were super nice and helpful with menu. Menu items amount are great, not too many items to cause confusion! Especially if you are someone like me, lol!!! I had the bacon and Swiss melt with all the fixings and onion rings. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was a real hamburger patty (hand formed) seasoned and cooked to perfection. My friends and I were a little shocked by this because this is a rare find. One of the cooks or owner came over to our table and gave us a sample of the feta dip for our fries. It was also tasty. I didn't try the milkshake but will try on my next visit. Onion rings were good as well. This place serves real burgers!! I noticed it's open 24 hours. I will definitely be back to this restaurant.

After exploring downtown Athens, my girlfriend and I had lunch at The Grill. This dinner reminds me of the diner up in Peekskill, NY - great childhood memories. The food was delicious and excellent, one of the best Patty Melts I’ve ordered. My girlfriend ordered the Triple Cheeseburger, which she enjoyed. We shared a side of Onion Rings. Lastly, we topped off our lunch with a Chocolate Milkshake and Stawberry Milkshake. Definitely we will come back to this local institution when we’re in Athens again.

The food was predictable. Good place for a quick munch-on-the-run. Home cut fries were the best part of the meal. I would have given this place 3-4 stars until I discovered an 8-10" strand of red hair in my arnold palmer! GROSS!!!
