One of my favorite places in town. They don't have a huge food menu but everything they offer is delicious and original, and their cocktail menu is super fun. It's also an awesomely popular local hangout with a pretty amazing event schedule. That said, if you're just looking for a place to eat you should double-check their schedule before getting your heart set on that chicken and waffle club.
First time there but it won’t be the last killer food great staff
The location is just in the corner of the block and seems like just a small shop, but inside is much nicer and has a good vibe. The food, service, and the pricing is exceptional.
The locals down here know it by the name ‘this is it’ instead of world famous.
Definitely a must try if you’re in town and looking for some American food and some fusion food along with good beer!
We tried the double stack with American cheese and the pork buns both were quite nice!
Fantastic drinks, relaxed and funky atmosphere. The bartenders and patrons are friendly and welcoming. The Rosemary Beach cocktail is delicious!
World Famous is a very unique spot in downtown Athens. It's a very fun "hole-in-the-wall" that you'd absolutely take people who are in town for a game or perusing the area for the first time to. It has elevated bar food (which was 8/10), it has great drinks and beer, it's extremely quirky-- it's Athens. However, I would recommend WF only being a part of your dinner plans if you have other options in your back-pocket. While being small is a slice of the charm, the line can quickly overflow out the door and seating can be filled just as fast. It's an unconventional joint that you definitely want to try if it's not too busy.
Pretty good restaurant, tucked off it’s kind of hard to find, but once you find it the food and the ambiance is on point. They also have variety of mixed drinks that I didn’t get to try due to me trying to recoup from previous night’s festivities, although I did have beer from World Famous, they have a variety of beer including local breweries in the Atlanta area, overall this is a pretty cool little place would definitely come back.
Been here a couple of times. It gets a little crowded but they have outside space too. The menu is diverse and the food is good. The bar side has decent drink options. The cocktail menu has a good selection. It's a good place for a friend's night out.
Popped in after a gig at the 40 watt club. Staff were really attentive and service was quick. Ordered a delicious burger and fries and the Havana Good Time cocktail was amazing 😋
