Ballin' breakfasts:

Mama's Boy - Those biscuits though!! 2 locations: the best one is off Macon Hwy (newer, cleaner, and if you sit on the patio you can hear the water!).

The Farm Cart - The best biscuit sandwich you've ever had!!! Catch the actual "farm cart" at the Farmer's Market Saturday morning at Bishop Park or go to the physical restaurant on Baxter St. Go for the crazy jalapeno or special jam of the day.

Big City Bread - Amazing outdoor space plus really great food for lunch and dinner as well! Or, just grab a cappuccino and a slice of cake!

Ike & Jane - grab a doughnut, it's worth it. Also egg sandwiches are always a win! Cheap, fast, and adorable.

The cheap, low-key lunch spots:

Taqueria Del Sol - A&A's favorite! Super cheap, good *New Mexican* food! Get something with green chile in it to make Andy happy! MAHRgeritas are great!

Trappeze - The couple's first date spot! Great beer, amazing fries (& dipping sauces!), and very affordable!

Pulaski Heights BBQ - Anna's next-door neighbor! Really, if you go by, just yell Anna's name loud and maybe she'll come outside! Amazing BBQ, BYOB, and their ramen made the Food Network!

Cali 'N Titos - Very cheap, funky outdoor spot with amazing tacos, empanadas, and cuban sandwiches! BYOB for $2.

White Tiger Gourmet - Another Food Network feature! It's like a neighborhood cookout every day. Literally, tucked in one of Athens' prettiest historic neighborhoods, grab a loaded hotdog and have a seat at the red checkered picnic table outside! P.S. more than just hotdogs and very cheap.

Maepole - Cheap, fast, healthy, and fresh! Great outdoor space as well!

A little nicer dinner:

Seabear Oyster Bar - Great cocktails, cool vibe, oysters ($$ it's no Florida!), and good menu

The Pine - always good! Drew Mahr's favorite :) Plus, a fun bar in the basement "The Root"... great brunch as well!

Heirloom - great farm-to-table restaurant with nice patio. Amazing brunch! Of course, good lunch as well. Peter Mahr's favorite :)

Donna Changs - Intimate family-style asian cuisine (all shareable plates!). Amazing cocktails and if you stay late enough the staff will flip on the disco ball and craft you some drinks just for fun! Anna Mahr's favorite :)

The National - Spanish-style/Mediterranean restaurant with tapas and all kinds of good!
