“ I ordered a Red Dragon Cheese Plate. It was delicious! One of the cheeses was better (I believe it was the paler one). Lots of variety, and I liked the jam on the board, too. Service was fine, ambiance was pretty lowkey. ”
“ Great meal today here. Food was excellent and we loved our server Brett. Great personality and very attentive! ”
“ Easy place to grab a bite & good service. Varied menu. I was slightly disappointed with my ramen salad - I didn't realize it would be crumbled crunchy uncooked ramen - I thought it would be cooked & that the salad would be a little more Asian. ”
“ Service was phenomenal! Caleb was super attentive and friendly! Food was delicious! Highly recommend! ”
“ This restaurant has always been one of my favorites. It is always crowded, but I rarely have to wait. The staff is always extremely friendly and takes great care of me, making sure that my drinks are full and never rushing the table even when it is busy. The food never disappoints. They have great sandwich options and the fries are amazing with the garlic aioli. I almost always stick with a sandwich, but the nachos are also great. I can always make two meals out of it as well. I always choose Trappeze for a catch up or an evening out! ”
“ Dined on a Friday evening at approximately 5pm. They got real busy right after our arrival. We had boiled peanuts, tomato soup, burgers, wine, and mixed drinks. The service was excellent and all of the food and drinks were outstanding. We will definitely return when we are back in the area. ”
“ This place was absolutely incredible!! We had a few choices but this spot just sounded delicious. We definitely picked right! They have an incredible veggie burger that was absolute perfection!! The garlic fries hit the damn spot & the cocktails were refreshing as well. Our server wasn't terrible but she definitely didn't seem happy or have a personality. Everyone can have bad days though. Either way, check this spot out! ”
“ Let's start with the service at the bar - phenomenal! I'll likely massacre the spellings here, but Nico and Izland were amazing! Nico was fairly new, but had a great spin on cocktails and humored me taking a gin & jam drink and sub bourbon since I don't like gin, and it was fantastic to the point I was disappointed I didn't make it back over the weekend for another. We had a burger and some bar food, which is pretty much our jam. The blue cheese fries left a tad to be desired as I am accustomed to more cheese and likely a sauce, but the fries themselves were tasty and it came with a choice of dipping sauce, so no trauma. The jam with the pimento cheese was the star of the show (hence the drink order). Now the true test to a restaurant is how they handle it when something goes wrong, and someone got distracted and the lamb burger was nearly a hockey puck when it came out. Nico was on it, took it back to the kitchen with all the apologies and we were presented with a replacement that was perfectly cooked. It was super tasty with the onions and toppings to the point that we didn't even care there was not a gluten free option. Bathrooms were immaculate, as was everything, and the bar area very inviting. It's one of those menus where anyone can find something and will absolutely be a go to upon our next return. Thanks guys!! ”
“ One of our favorite spots in downtown. Lots of seating, great service, and several unique and delicious dishes. To start, you have to try the Cheerwine Wings. They are one of the best and most unique things I've had in Athens to-date. Perfect flavoring. A bit pricy, so that's the only downside as I could probably eat an almost endless amount based on the flavor. Otherwise we've had the fish, chicken sandwich and several other dishes--all of which have been very flavorful and cooked perfectly. This is a great lowkey spot to enjoy a casual dinner in downtown. ”
“ A friend and I were in Athens for a concert recently and we stopped by Trappeze to eat dinner beforehand. I had the pub burger and my friend had a burger as well but with no bun (since she's allergic to gluten.) I loved the burger but it was pretty messy though. It was definitely falling apart by the time I was finishing it. I think it tasted great but I just kinda wish the greens on the burger weren't all over the place and that it was easier to eat lol. I was a fan of the fries. Our server took some time bringing back our receipts when we were waiting to leave, but I still think the service was pretty good overall. The inside area of the restaurant had a pretty cool vibe. My friend and I were happy with our visit and I'm sure I'll be back at some point ”
