Second Mamas Boy.

Add Last Resort (not because the food is bad - it’s not. But good fricking lord, y’all, there are other places to eat just as good if not better).

Feel like this could be two categories: 1. places that people think are good but aren’t and 2. Places that are over recommended

And if we are talking underrated, I’ve been to Pauley’s twice now with friends and it’s been really good both times.

Agree on 5 and 10, great atmosphere but they try too hard I think.

They capitalized on the fact that both Five Star Day Cafe's went out of business right as Mama's Boy jumped into that frat-breakfast market, so they went gangbusters for a while. Now enough time as passed that they stay busy based on nostalgia on gamedays and Greek traditions on other weekend mornings.

There is much better breakfast in Athens with much less wait, but you don't get that atmosphere of 19 year olds with their dads wearing a cell phone clip on the belt having awkward conversations at the next table while Mom complains about the line after dad just got done bitching about the parking.

I will challenge OP and say The Grill is even more overrated. I haven't been there since my sophomore year in the 90's because of how sucky it is, compared to everything else there is/was downtown.

The Grill isn’t overrated. Good milkshakes and greasy burgers with a cool environment. Don’t think anyone tries to advertise it as anything better.

Five Star was fricking awesome back in the day.

If anyone fricking mentions C n’ T’s in this thread as overrated, I will drive to where ever you are and drop you were you stand. So help me God.
