Stopped in for quick lunch. I got their chicken salad sandwich on wheat with fries (of course, their black beans and rice is great too). Absolutely LOVE their chicken salad!

Dairy Barn

Reviewed By jazzyjava - Athens, Tennessee

I was waiting over an hour in line. This was my first visit. I asked if they had hard ice cream or only had soft serve. I was unable to see a menu until I pulled up to order. The young lady had no idea what I was talking about and was very rude about it. I ordered a hot fudge sundae with butter pecan ice cream. I was told I couldn't have that. That flavor didn't come that way. After one hour in a drive thru to try and order a simple hot fudge sundae.....I finally got something with some nasty chocolate topping and nothing else. Disgusting. I will never waste my time or money there again.

Don Armandos

Reviewed By JD28204 - Charlotte, North Carolina

I'm happy I found this place while passing through Athens, TN. I didn't want typical fast food. I wanted good food fast. That's exactly what I got at Don Armandos. The service was excellent. The menu is extensive - something for everyone. Great food. Very reasonably priced. Appropriate portions. Highly recommended.

Russell Stover Candies

Reviewed By Additional - Athens, Tennessee

Russell Stover is a high-end snack store. Generally, one would go here strictly just for Valentines day, anniversaries and birthdays. There's an enormous variety here in candies, fudge etc., and something for everyone.

The unique factor here is that this doubles as an outlet store. The "oops" imperfect chocolates are boxes up and sold for dirt cheap. You can get several pounds of ugly but delicious chocolates for a few dollars!

Cracker Barrel

Reviewed By Paula R

Traffic has eased up a bit but it's almost 3:00 pm. Been on road since 11:00 am from north side of Atlanta.
Traffic's been slow due to people evacuating for the Hurricane.
Decided to come here as food is usually consistent at the Cracker Barrel chains.
Servers name was Alex.
I ordered 1/2 sweet, 1/2 unsweet tea.
Husband ordered coffee and water.
I had the Chicken BLT and green beans. Husband ordered the fish and corn and coleslaw.
Everything was good except the tomatoes that came with sandwich.
When we told Alex he brought some fresh looking tomatoes that were much better.
Woman's bathroom was clean.
All staff we encountered where very nice.
Trying to get on main road (DensoRd ) after eating was difficult.
Several hotels within walking distance with one being built.
Close to I-75

Joe's Italian Cuisine

Reviewed By Mike C

If you're expecting homemade fresh Italian, this isn't your place. Everything is frozen, very low quality. Lasagna was a disappointment as was the ravioli. Very little effort involved here and it showed. Food wasn't even heated thoroughly, I won't be coming back here at all. I can get better Italian from the freezer section at Ingles.

Ming Dynasty Chinese Restaurant

Reviewed By Judith W - Athens

This is the best Chinese restaurant around and has been for some time. If you want good Chinese food this is the place to go! Forget all those Chinese buffets, because I assure you that you will be plenty stuffed with whatever you get, and will have to get a doggie bag. It's all good

Michael's

Reviewed By Sandra K - Atlanta, Georgia, United States

Michael's has a great variety on the menu that will appease even the pickiest of eaters. There are always specials each month and they have a senior citizens night. It is a great family place that offers soups, sandwiches, salads, pasta, ribs, and lots of other menu choices. Service is always fast and friendly.

Small's-Cajun Man Drive-In

Reviewed By Smkymtntroutman

Stopped here today for lunch and enjoyed things very much...my jalapeño burger was very good and my wife's cheeseburger was good as well. Has a kind of 70's mom and pop diner vibe. Servers were very attentive, but food delivery takes a while...so not a good place to stop if you are in a hurry. Otherwise, stop in, enjoy a little conversation and after a bit... a pretty nice burger.

Ruby Tuesday

Reviewed By familyoffive106 - Pittsburgh

Ate here many time during recent stay. Each time service was very good. Food was always prepared well and quickly served.
Did not understand how the kitchen operates by handing the waitress food in bags for them to put on plates?? Still, never had a bad meal.
