The Grill

50s diner nostalgia with a true Athens flair, featuring huge burgers, thick milkshakes, and surprising vegan and vegetarian options. The Grill opened in 1981, making it the second-oldest restaurant in downtown. It has become a gathering place not only for hungry lawyers and businessmen, but local artists and musicians. Stop by after the clubs for breakfast! Catch up on the colorful history of this Athens landmark in the Feb. 2, 2009 edition of the Athens Banner-Herald.
