This might date me, but I thought Gumbys was overrated...
Underrated - Inoko Express. That yellow sauce was crack

Like $7 for a 20” pizza at 2:30 am. 5 stars

When I was in Russell Hall, across the street, the $4.99 XL pickup special was pretty sweet. Open until 3 or 4 in the morning too. You were supposed to have a coupon for the deal, which they regularly confettied on campus, and they never asked for the coupon at pickup anyway.
They also had 25 cent draft nights and didn't care how shitty your fake ID was.

Yep. Average food and bad service.

When I was at Russell Hall we used to grab a buffet and bring ziploc bags. Then once we were done eating we'd slide on out with at least next day's lunch in our pocket.

Actually, the most over rated, ever… was the McWhorter Hall “Training Table”. The food sucked. That dude must have had pics of Dooley.

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).
tried to go to last resort for dinner and brunch over the mizzou weekend and there were 3+ hour waits both times. this was expected and we had back up plans, but still gave it a go. we had a large party as well.
ended up eating at FIVE and south kitchen respectively and both were phenomenal.
that said, i will keep recommending last resort and will try to get in again next time im in athens.

Im curious what happened to make it over rated?

Sorry, I meant the general consensus. Apologies

I wouldn't even call Mama's Boy average. I think 95% of the posters here could prepare the bulk of their menu to perfection with no training, help, or advanced notice.
I went to Mama Boy's once before I got to UGA in 2014, and I only returned this past July because I had a wedding in Athens and my peers forced me to go with them. Their food isn't worth the headache of that place.

Im with you on Last Resort it's good food but the line isn't worth it considering other places in walking distance just as good.

Went there after waking up in piss soaked pants on a random bed in some apartment in Clowne Tub after Kentucky in 2017.
Best lunch ever.

Jesus died for our sins so we could enjoy Pokey Stix at 3 AM. How dare you, sir.

Grinding with a squirter or did you piss your own pants?
Posted on 11/18/21 at 12:52 pm to deeprig9
Played it off like I was just a really hot sleeper and sweated throughout the night.
But yeah, I totally pissed my pants. Had to get my buddy to bring some fresh underoos and gym shorts. We just left the piss clothes in the bed of his truck while we ate.

I have a list of stories I tell, and a list of stories I don't tell. Lewis Grizzard had a comment about this.

I don’t think it’s overrated so much as it is over recommended. It’s still a good experience, just not worth waiting 3+ hours for (same as Mama’s Boy). Five and South are both excellent choices and rarely get recommended on the same level as Last Resort. The Place is really solid, as well. For my money, I’d probably recommend a few places in 5 Points for an actual dining experience (and not 5&10 as has been well documented in this thread).

Probably going to make some enemies but I went to Weaver D’s once and that was plenty
