Camellia's - Athens

My experience at this restaurant was nothing short of wonderful, and the friendly atmosphere added to it all. Camellia noticed how much I enjoyed her desserts and suggested I try the peach bowl. For years, I have claimed not to like peaches, but I decided to trust this charming lady and her culinary expertise. She served me peach cobbler with caramel ice cream, and I can honestly say it’s one of the most incredible dishes I’ve ever tasted. Now, thanks to Camellia, I actually like peaches! Every Wednesday is pork day, with delicious options like grilled chicken, roasted green tomatoes, field peas, potatoes, rolls, and cornbread. Just follow the food line, and your mouth will start to water! I also highly recommend the heavenly sweet tea and the pink cake from the dessert line — the frosting is so thick and delicious, it will surely satisfy your sweet tooth. This restaurant is truly a treasure that I wish everyone could experience. Don’t miss out just because your GPS takes you a different route; I guarantee you won’t regret stopping here and meeting these wonderful ladies. Camellia is truly a gem, and I’m not just saying that because she helped me discover my love for peaches!

Country house cooking at very affordable prices. Very hearty portions size Bacon Cheeseburger... the burger was slightly thin, but the taste was on point! The best burger I found in Athens. I wanted them to be open to dinner, but then I'd probably go broke.

The sweet little diner from the beaten path, serves breakfast and lunch. Today I had the Taco salad and it was really good. The meat was tasteful and was served over round corn chips with your choice of toppings. The staff is super friendly and we enjoyed the lunch experience.

As long as you realize that you are going to a country diner, this place is great. Prices are exceptionally low. Formal health food options simply do not exist. It is possible to eat healthy, but you must stay away from cookies, gravy, bacon and sausage. This is a cozy restaurant.

If you're looking for authentic southern food this is the place. The restaurant is located in an old gas station which adds to the charm. The potato salad was my favorite but the pulled pork sandwich with beans on the side was excellent. Camellia herself comes out to check on the patrons which is a touch of southern people would expect! Will absolutely return (with a bigger waistline)
