Ohhh boy, just hand me that can o' worms to open...

For 24-hour dining, the Grill in downtown Athens is very good.  Sort of a
    hip-hop 50's type joint.  Ask for Feta cheese with your fries...
    mmmmm...

Guthries off of Baxter Street is also incredible in my book, but I think
    that it's something about being genetically altered to enjoy the
    stuff.  Guthrie's plate, no slaw, double fries & a sweet tea will
    run you about $4.75.  They take checks!! :^)

Excellent southern barbecue can be had at the Spring House barbecue off
    main street as you're heading into Athens from Atlanta.  It's a real
    dump and the food lives up to my standards of good barbecue having to
    come from a real dump.

Chinese?  Peking (East or West Athens) is the best.  Try their Peking
    Chicken.  I can't find it anywhere else.  The west athens one is
    big, fancy and easily seen from the Atlanta highway.  The east athens
    one is tucked away in a strip mall with an Eckerds.

Mexican food can be had at the Mexicali Grill, I hear there's a new one
    opened up off Atl. Highway as you go into town, but the one I always
    ate at was further towards athens.

Japanese Steak & Seafood House, if it's still there -- Kyoto's off of
    Alps.  I worked there for about six months because I loved the food
    so much. (The job sucked) :)

Best Bar: The Half Moon Pub, located in the basement of some coffeehouse.

Yes, going back to Athens for me is more than reminiscing.  I HAVE to stop by at least a couple of these joints while I am there.

Try "The Last Resort" downtown Athens.
