Amici Italian Cafe
Amici was founded in 1993 by a few friends in the #1 small town in America, Madison, Georgia. The goal was to provide fresh, scratch made foods including, hand tossed Neapolitan style pizza, and other Italian treats in a casual and fun environment. They pulled together their collective restaurant experience, family recipes, and suggestions from friends, to create a menu of comfort foods that anyone could enjoy.
Today, Amici has grown to include many new partners and now has four locations including Athens, Covington, Milledgeville, and Madison. We have complete event planning and catering company, Stagecoach Catering, which can handle small to large parties with nearly any cuisine you may desire. Additionally, Donna Fina Foods, our production and distribution facility, is where we develop and produce new products and menu items that will ultimately end up in Amici.

Several different kinds of naan, including garlic, onion, and sweet kashmiri, and flavored rice (the lemon basmiti is extra lemony). Mellow the spicy flavors with a mango lassi.

Bourbon St.
Two guesses as to what city Bourbon Street takes as spiritual inspiration for theme, its signature 64-oz fish-bowl cocktails and a Mardi Gras-style festive spirit. Packed most night of the week, Bourbon street is dedicated to bringing the Big Easy to Athens. One can partake of the festive spirit with Budweiser or Miller Lite or take cues from the green and purple and opt for a Hurricane, daiquiri, or spicy Bloody Mary.

These specials (burgers topped with habenero marmalade or clever herbed pastas, for instance) are always delightfully hip while remaining intriguing, and Kool-Aid, old-fashioned milkshakes and tater tots round out the meal.

Copper Creek Brewing Company
Though the food at Copper Creek tastes plenty good on its own, theres little doubt that most of it was designed to marry with the beers brewed in those big copper kettles up front. A stout and molasses marinated pork chop goes well with creamy Imperial Stout. Pick smoky chedder to top the bison burger and match it up with the English-style smoked porter. The Chedder Ale soup is a house specialty. Regular beer specials, a rotating selection of house brews and "guests" from breweries around the world, and cheap signature shooters are also popular.

Cutters Pub
There's a shamrock on the door that bodes well for plenty of Irish beer on tap. But while a Guinness or a Bass are definately fine choices, Cutters also has plenty more to choose from. It features an impressive list of wines and the bartenders definately know their way around even the fruitest of cocktails. Sweetwater 420 from the pull is always a deal and even non-British Isles imports like Franziskaner provide proper fuel for scratching on the pool table. Golden Tee and Foosball.

With huge windows perfectly positioned for people-watching, wooden picnic-style seating, and a gracefully modern interior, the Athens location of this fast-growing nouveau-Asian chain is quite a pleasant place to sit and enjoy dim sum and sake. The noodle bowls, such as the Chinese Black Bean, come topped with beef, chicken, tofu, veggies, shrimp or salmon. The other pan-Asian opinions (from Thai to Japanese) are uniformly light and tastey. Nice selection of plum wines.

Farm 255
Farm 255 is a restaurant that seeks to reconnect food to its roots & people to their food. We serve local, seasonal, & sustainable food for supper nightly. In addition to the Farm we manage Full Moon Farms, a 7-acre organic/biodynamic farm in Athens. Unlike the owners of any other restaurant we know of, we are the folks sowing turnip seeds in the morning and cooking turnip greens in the evening. We supplement our harvests with those of other local family farmers and ranchers that avoid harmful chemicals and practice sustainable agriculture. Our menu, based on seasonal shifts in the field, changes as often as the weather. Our meat comes from pasture-raised animals & is hormone & antibiotic free. We purchase whole animals & use all the various cuts of meat throughout our menu.

Plenty of vegetarian choices (many of the sides are cooked without meat). Breakfast biscuit sandwiches or French toast sticks in the A.M. Daily specials scrawled on the chalkboard practically beg diners to try something new. Don't miss the home-style banana pudding. Patio seats available.

Flanagan's Bar & Pub/Half Moon Pub
Flanagan's has been one of Athens' hottest bars for the last ten years, while the Half Moon Pub continues its amazing 14-year run. Both bars are located on the corner of Jackson and Clayton Streets in downtown Athens serving as both a physical and symbolic center point of Athens' famous nightlife. Flanagan's is a street level bar with a completely unique character that combines the rustic feel of dark wood and exposed brick with elements of the modern nightlife including a sleek mezzanine lounge with a water wall. Half Moon is down in the cellar and often plays home to those who love being near the center of it all but like a slightly slower, cozier place to enjoy drinks and friends. In the ever-changing landscape downtown, these bars represent unparallelled consistency. How have we done it? Customer service is a hallmark of both bars. We promise to do everything we can to make sure that if you come see us once, you will again and again.

There are a lot of different types of performances that happen at Flicker: spontaneous, communal Magnetic Fields sing-alongs; dramatic, bottles-and-cups-a-flashing preparation of an Old Fashioned; Athens' most tragically hip inhabitants giggling along with a puppet show or free Tuesday movie. There's a far better than usual selection of wines to sip, constantly popping popcorn for free, and a selection of beers from cheap and easy (Schlitz and PBR) to heartier and more distinct (Pilsner Urquell, Sierra Nevade) to drink while enjoying entertainment both scheduled and unscheduled.

The bar forms part of the "Barmuda Triangle" with The Globe and The Roadhouse (and now El Centro) around the corner.

Jimmy John's Sandwiches
Jimmy John's menu isn't shy about parading the size of its sandwiches. The title of the club side includes the word "giant," and the aptly named JJ Gargantuan (essentially every deli meat available topped with provolone and pretty much every fresh topping in the building) gets its very own billing. All the meat, cheese and veggies are piled onto bread baked in-house. Try the Italian Night, with salami, capicola, smoked ham, provolone and Italian vinaigrette.

Patrons, whether during the lunch rush or mere minutes before dawn on the weekends, are likely to walk into a bustling full house with orders being tossed in suspiciously New Yorkian accents and dough swirling gracefully through the air. Yet the wait for a slice, calzone or giant pie, each ridiculously cheap and topped with a choice of no less than 20 options (including, yes, anchovies), is never more than the time it takes to skim an article or two from a Flagpole by the door. Hot or cold subs, stromboli with meat or veggies, and salads.

The breakfast includes fried egg sandwiches, creamy cheese grits and big, fluffy biscuts that radiate down-home goodness. Fried shrimp, grilled ham or bacon sandwiches, and even a Philly cheese steak are quick and delicious lunchtime classics, but the regulars (and there are plenty of them) often go for the meat and three.

What sets us apart from other Mexican restaurants, burrito joints, and impersonal chain establishments? Easy. Our unrelenting pursuit of freshness. If it’s not fresh, if it's not hand made, it's not in our kitchen, not on the menu, and not on your plate. Our goal is to provide the freshest Mexican dining around in a fun and inviting atmosphere. Ask a regular. They'll let you know why they've been coming back for years.
We're a friendly, neighborhood kind of place. This means some people think of us a great idea to bring the kids for a fun and easy dinner. Others call us as a 'taco tavern,' where they can relax after work with a cocktail with friends, or stop by for a beer with the team after a softball game. You won't find serapes or chintzy sombreros on the wall, just a fun, refined atmosphere where you're always welcome.
Above all, it's our dedication to delicious, creative recipes, a friendly neighborhood atmosphere, and above all else, the freshest ingredients possible, that makes the Taco Stand the legendary dining tradition it has become.
