Great experience for a late-ish weekday lunch today! I came in with my parents and my best friend, and everyone found something we loved pretty easily. Street parking is a bit difficult, but it was easy enough to find a table once we were in the restaurant. The guys behind the table were super friendly and walked us through the fare easily when we looked confused and said we were new.
Between us, we had a smattering of food allergies and intolerances, as well as one of us having diabetes. The diabetic got the quinoa base, but I also feel convinced that the nice folks behind the counter would've been accommodating if we'd asked to swap out the base and get an extra side instead. They really seem willing to work with you. They are also incredibly up front about the allergens in different items, with a printout on the wall by the counter that explains which allergens are present in which dishes. More info on these down below! 👇🏼
The brussel sprouts were a big hit. They're not the lame steamed kind that are just boring baby cabbages - they are more braised/charred/roasted, where you really get the tasty flavor and the crispiness. I also adored the macaroni and cheese. The biscuit was pretty good and was a nice touch, but isn't what would keep me coming back. Bathrooms were clean and easy to find. Tables were laid out well and kept clean also.
To my Athens followers - this is essentially a little more southern version of the beloved Maepole.
Over all, I'd be back again and again. I don't live in Milledgeville anymore, but I'll certainly be back when visiting. I even have a hope that my Celiac husband can actually eat here because of the gluten-free options, but I'll report back when...
Read more10/10 recommend! This place is TOO CUTE!!! I went here with my partner for the first time, while we were out of town. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by friendly faces (Morgan & Kellen were so sweet), the restaurant is clean and inviting, the art on the walls are themed (to the name of the restaurant), beautiful artwork, and the food is fresh! Morgan, the amazing woman behind the counter, told us all about the restaurant. She gave us the full rundown and suggested different things for us to try. The chickpea salad was PHENOMENAL. Thanks Morgan! I’d eat the chickpea salad every day if I could. The food was so good that I had to save some for later, when we arrived back home! The leftovers tasted so good, just like the first time! They even offered dessert (different types of yummy pudding), shirts, hats, and stickers! TOO CUTE! I loved the front patio as well. Parking was right in front of the restaurant, was easy to find, & free. It’s a cute little restaurant that’s right in the middle of the town. Even the bathroom was themed! SO CUTE! If you’re not coming to Greene’s, you’re missing out! Thank you...
Read moreMy friend and I stumbled across this lovely restaurant while visiting the Milledgeville, GA area. I loved that all the food was made from scratch, that there were nutricious vegetarian choices, and that you could select your plate composition based on your diet of choice. The girl serving up the food was very friendly and knowledgeable. I never felt rushed to make a choice. The owner and chef came out to greet people sitting in the restaurant. This is so rare in a smaller moderate restaurant. I was very pleased with his personal touch. One choice I made that does not fit in my normal diet was the biscuit. Do yourself a favor and try one. They are amazing. Light, flakey, and moist. The chef told us that his mother makes them daily. The atmosphere is casual and inviting. Next time I visit Milledgeville, I will make sure to go to...
