The Classic City’s dining locale is bolstered by a blend of established favorites and newer contenders that can more than hold their own against the old guard.

We’ve rounded up the best restaurants in Athens, from barbecue you can smell down the street and excellent Baja fish burritos to the soul food spot that fed REM and fresh oysters paired with Negroni slushies.
