George's Lowcountry Table - Athens

We've been a long time customer. Actually, it's probably my father's favorite place. But tonight's Sunday dinner was a disaster. Our waitress was very sweet, but we felt she might have been new. Our plates kept piling up and not cleaned. Making it difficult between appetizers, salads, main course and dessert. We ordered broiled and Rockefeller oysters. The broiled ones were so overcooked there was no oyster left. If it hadn't been for the spinach, the Rockefeller would have been same way. The fried chicken came out with maybe two spoons of gravy on the whole plate. With it being slightly dry, made hard to eat. We also ordered low country boil that came out with zero shrimp in it. We did figure out they quickly cooked shrimp, but obviously they didn't have time to soak in that Cajun flavor The salad was dirty and had old brown pieces in it. Luckily one of our favorites which is the gumbo was solid and good. I know times are tough right now, but hopefully Reggie will start dropping in on Sundays because I did see someone else complain a few Sundays ago with similar issues.

We were the last table of the night, showed up right before close. But the staff was fantastic. You would've thought we were the first table of the night. Great, friendly service. Took advantage of the oyster special on Tuesday nights. I had the scallops and my husband had the red fish. Both were delicious. We enjoyed Whistle Pig Manhattans and they even poured us another round despite the fact that it was closing time. We'll be back! edited we've been back and there is a bit of inconsistency with food, but service has always been good.

What a wonderful surprise! I had been looking forward to trying this restaurant, and I'm so glad we went. It was really busy, especially for a Thursday. The oysters were great, and I ordered the gumbo, but I probably wouldn't get it again as it felt a bit lacking. However, the eggplant pie was delicious! I noticed several people ordering the redfish, and there are so many other dishes I want to try. Oh, and the cheese biscuits were delicious! We can't wait to come back!

We discovered a hidden gem, George's Lowcountry Table, right before arriving in Athens, GA, and it turned out to be home to the best meal of 2021! I ordered the Auberginen-Pirogue, which featured crispy roasted eggplant with panko breadcrumbs, generously sized shrimp, crab, and a zesty fish étouffée. My husband tried the Teppich Excavator, a perfectly medium-rare ribeye topped with fried oysters and accompanied by a delicate Béarnaise sauce. It was served alongside crispy Jo-jo potatoes and beautifully prepared mushrooms. To top it all off, the Cheddar Biscuits were like light, airy bites of pure joy!

My man and I are at home last Sunday. the food was delicious! we've been there before, but it was a fact that they were still in their former location. the new building is spacious inside and has a beautiful terrace, but the atmosphere is somewhat sterile/saving. I ordered the shrimp and grits, my man had eier benedikt, and we were both very satisfied with the aromen, presentation and service.
