Congress Crossing — Attraction in Athens

This place could use a makeover and some updated shopping places.

Some of the best places that it has right now are...

Cricket Wireless Game Stop Bath and Body Works And Hobby Lobby

The rest of the places are not worth it.

There is an Asian restaurant there but I found a roach frozen inside the ice in my sweet tea. That means, not only do they have roaches, but they have roaches in their ice maker.

There is another cell phone place there but the workers are rude and would rather sit outside in chairs than help people. When asked, one of the employees their said they are just waiting for the place to close for good.

The parking area also needs to be repainted. You can barely see the lines for the spots. And many of the lights in the parking area need to be replaced as they do not work. The owners should really invest...

It's all about the specials. If you want home cooking, call check the specials & their meat and two can't be beat (don't be afraid to try the brussel sprouts when they have). It is cheap! The veggies & sides here are always how you'd expect them to taste at a family holiday meal. The burgers are huge & look terrific. The wait staff is great & the lead waitress really is one of those wonderful dinner waitress who remembers everyone she's met. Lunch may be crowded from local plants, but I've never not gotten a table. Desserts are awesome. This is that dinners, dives, greasy spoon experience, the only reason I don't give it 5 stars is at times it's a little relaxed in the cleanup during turn, but no so more than any other hole-in-the-wall treasure you may find in...

There's a good mix of stores here offering a variety of consumer products from home decor, hobby, sporting goods, clothing and gaming. There's a Chinese restaurant and a sub place too. On the whole not a bad collection of stores. My only negative is the parking lot has an old, worn feeling that undermines the overall environment. Picky's Recommendation: definitely worth visiting to see what's there as most of the shops are hidden from view...
