The food here is delicious! Cozy, authentic and good proving. I love the empanadas- I missed having them, I’m from the east coast and this food is hard to find in the south! The desserts are to die for!

Sometimes I CRAVE the wedge salad with buffalo chicken bites on top from this brewery so badly, no other wedge salad will suffice.
It’s well worth the 30 minute drive!
Athens Brewing Co
This is the best Mediterranean food We got out here in East Texas! I’ll take it over no options at all! There’s also a market inside this restaurant that carries fun, European and Middle Eastern specialty foods.

My personal favorite pizza is the Ipanema, and I can go way too ham on their Brazilian bites and jalapeño poppers! If you have a chance to get there on a Saturday morning, their croissants and morning buns are to die for!
