home.made - Athens

The food was very nice. Flavor and plating was a delight. I personally did not love the shrimp dish because I was expecting something else. The grilled oysters were hands down the best I have ever had. The prosciutto app I loved. The trout was done very well with just enough seasoning. The apps were a little high, but you are getting the quality, so it works out.

Home.made was a nice experience but some of the food fell flat, and drink service was slow. The grilled oysters are a must have! I really liked my fried chicken plate, especially the picked okra, it was all great, but my wife?s pasta (tagliatelle dish really fell flat, and we only ordered it because the waitress recommended it? so yeah we were pretty surprised with how uninteresting the flavor was. Unlucky I guess... Should have sent it back but didn?t think about it.And the pimento cheese biscuit/macaron appetizer, you can just skip that, but the grilled oysters we had were AMAZING. The drinks we had were very good, but drink service was really slow after 5:45ish. I think the issue was there was onlyone guy on the sidecar bar side doing the drinks and waiting tables over there, so every drink took about ten minutes to prepare. Even a simple desert port wine took ages to get. Surprising they have so few workers/bartenders on a busySaturday night. Our waitress was quite good though. We went early at 5 which was great, as the place was empty and it was easy to get a table. After about 20-30 minutes, the hostess sat two more tables of people literally right next us inthe corner, which was a little awkward since the entire restaurant was empty aside from our now packed corner. I would think with covid and all they would try to space people out a little bit, at least while the place is near empty. Alsosince the place was so quiet I felt like our three tables could all hear everything each other was saying. Anyways, after I said something about weird it was, our waitress moved us to the other corner where we could have a little moreprivacy which was awesome : so that was nice.

Great southern restaurant with a rustic modern backdrop. I had the $35 special of chicken thigh greens and squash as my entree and it was delicious. The special also came with salad and Icebox lemon cake. I also enjoyed the deviled eggs. It wasn 't cover crowded a down home feel.

Good chicken salad sandwich. Nice presentation. Tasty. Reasonable price

Whenever I travel I look for places that have ranked 4 stars or better.
