Food scene
Ok, Gracie's is tha bomb! Our go-to. Come for breakfast, brunch, lunch or even dinner (last seated at 7:00). Their to-go counter is great for those on the run or just have a sweet tooth because their donuts are something else. The space is large and the menu is long so it's a great spot all around. They serve Irving Farm coffee and did we say donuts? Holy donuts!

This brewery is just minutes from the house and is a great quick bite 'n a beer option. The place is huge and the food is surprisingly good! A ton of outdoor seating both out front as well as the back. Live music in the backyard in the summer which is always super fun and crowded.

BBQ, wings, burgers, pizza and everything in between. Local's favorite. No frills, family style restaurant so bring the kiddos and get ready for left overs (or maybe just food coma)

If you're looking for a country style breakfast in a country setting, the Log Cabin Cafe got you covered. It's tiny so there might be a bit of a wait.

If you crave an adult moment in a dim, sexy bar restaurant or maybe an outdoor dining experience by the water, come to Stewart House in Athens! Allocate some extra time to walk around this darling little town but you won't be disappointed if you come here to only fill the belly. Great spot for celebrations.

Plain good 'ol deli. They sell other little country-store things but if you're just looking for a quick, cheap deli sandwich, Freehold Country Store is fantastic. Outdoor tables for those that want to stick around.

We’ve come here for birthday celebrations as well as just cocktails - you can really dress it up and have a romantic dinner or dress it down and just sit at the bar with a beautifully crafted cocktail. This is what makes this place our guidebook-worthy. Warm atmosphere, great service and a delicious menu to choose from.

Homemade soft serve ice cream, yummy yum! They are famous for their soft serve but actually carry a lot more - hard ice cream, shakes, sundaes, floats, ice cream sandwiches and cakes. Outdoor picnic tables with a waterfront location.
They are located right by the Subversive brewery - the two are a great combo for a summer night

Bagels! Who doesn’t love a good bagel. These guys are a bit out of the way but if you’re heading to Walmart (because why wouldn’t you when there's one right here!), this bagel spot is right by it, kills two birds with one stone :) Great sandwiches and deeeeelicious (local) sausage, egg and cheese. Good coffee too!

This is our go-to. Good beer and just a cool hang-out spot. Super chill outdoor area great for hot summers or heated tents and fire pits in the winter! Finger licking food options too. These guys know how to do it right! 15 minutes away.
Side note, it's a very popular spot in the summer and their kitchen is tiny so food might take a bit longer but once you get it... the wait is so worth it. Maybe just don't come completely starving :)
