The Globe — Restaurant in Athens-Clarke County Unified Government

I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. They used to have the best fish and chips. They served two large chunks of fish which were like no others in Athens, with steak fries. Now they serve fish that, dare I say it, is worse than Captain D's (not knocking CD's, just saying fast food is better in my opinion than The Globe food. The fish was simple and flat, much like what your mom cooks in the microwave/oven, and were not cooked well enough which made the inner crust doughy. We also ordered another dish, perhaps chili cheese chips. Again, they lacked flavor. Absolutely nothing special about the food. Very sub par for what I'd consider restaurant food. Definitely will not be going again. There are way too many restaurants that have good food in Athens to waste any time going to The Globe. Also, I have never figured it out, but their service is the worst in Athens. The waiter stopped by twice and I went to the bar to ask for our check since he was MIA for so long (doing various things behind the bar; including chatting). I asked for the check twice, which after 7 minutes I remained standing there for another 12 minutes until he apologetically set it on the bar. Again, I will not be going here again. I relatively expected this, but was willing go ignore the bad service for the fish and chips they USED TO SERVE. I've never given a negative review, but The Globe was so disappointing that I felt the need to review it. Again, I would not recommend this...

My husband and I had the Fish & Chips, first time here. It was Fantastic!!! fresh Cod loin juicy and the batter was light, not greasy & cooked to perfection! Potatoes where hand cut like advertised and brined to release the starch a very important step if you know how to cook. This was authentic food, My regards to the Chef! Service was excellent also! Good service + good dinning experience = Good management/ownership. Got that equation correct also. Being a professionally trained Chef myself & born peasant chef catering private parties of all ethnicities in Boca Raton, FL for 16 years I give pretty harsh reviews to the restaurants. Now living here I have to make everything at home including Asian, Italian, South American, Eastern European , Middle Eastern, (British - Scott/Irish) & Southern cuisine. (I'm from N.J.?) Why can't these COOKS learn how to make the food from their own restaurant's ethnicity. (WIll HIGHLY RECOMMEND "THE GLOBE TAVERN " AND WILL BE BACK VERY SOON.) Bring out the Haggis & Black Pudding! definition of CHEF, noun /SHEF/ Someone who cooks like you...

ill start by saying that the globe used to be good... but now? dont waste your money. we were the first to arrive today when they opened for brunch. there was one other table that walked in behind us. we were the only customers in the whole place and it took 45 minutes for our food to come out. the other tables food was out in 20 min. the table that came in after us got their food within 10 minutes of sitting down. at this point, im frustrated and hangry waiting on my food. finally comes out 45 minutes after sitting down, and the food is COLD. i ordered soup as an appetizer. it came out freezing with the rest of the food. and speaking of the food. it was BAD. not good at all.

no part of our brunch at the globe was enjoyable. service was terrible. food was cold and terrible. our table was incredibly sticky. we absolutely paid much more than our food was worth. safe to say we wont...
