I'm new to the area. Ate here and it was so good I came back the next day to try something else. I've tried 4 entrees now and everything has been flavorful, interesting, and cooked perfectly. Highly recommend this place. Relieved to find there's food this good here. I had serious trouble finding a full menu online, so posting pics of it here (sorry about the glare.)

Very cool local restaurant. Their is signage that says they try to locally source their ingredients when they can. The hand-cut fries were good and the chorizo burger was very interesting. Also tried the fried fish platter and it was delicious. The building has indoor and outdoor seating. The wait staff was very friendly. I enjoyed my experience, would definitely consider eating here again.

We had the Cuban sandwich, a salad, avocado “fries”, chicken fajitas. Service was great. Food was good. Location is on busy State Street but outdoor patios are rare in this town so it was nice to sit outside on a nice day. Inside also nice & cozy. Umbrellas on tables outside would be nice. Prices decent too. I liked the menu a lot. Vegan & Vegetarian options too.

The food was nice - I especially enjoyed the fries! What impressed me the most was their team, though. My car wouldnt start and while my husband and I tried to fix it, one team member tried to help us, and everyone else I spoke with was very, very kind. Will definitely go back and try more food there!

If you want something different, this place it. Typically everything is good. We go here pretty often. If it was too bad we wouldn't go that much. Food is really good, waiters/waitresses are usually nice as well. It's a nice change to all the "normal" places.

Pina colada shrimp bowl!!!Mini Key Lime pie!!!And amazing sweet tea!!!This place is my new favorite for in town Athens.

I've lived in the area for years and have stopped in to Sol a few times without ever finding a favorite dish. I tried them again recently and had a hamburger, not exactly the first thing that comes to mind in a place like this, and found it to be really good. This is my new go to spot for a non-fast food burger in town. The BBQ bacon burger is loaded with bacon, and the sauce is perfect.

Bad service, Bad burgers, Bad experience overall!Our burgers and frys were burnt, the food turned all 3 of our stomachs violent before we made it out the door. This place makes fast food look good. The service was incredibly slow, even though they were only serving 4 tables.

Pretty reliably the best burgers we have found in the area so far. The mushroom swiss burger is our favorite & always delicious!

the food was great. fast and friendly service too
