American Dream Burger maybe? Hubby asked for an impossible burger and the counter person couldn't help him with that.
This may be the American Dream burger. It has a lot of caramelized onions, and some pickles. It's salty.

Had a delicious late lunch with family here! Big space that accommodated the 9 of us. We tried the pimento cheese dip (delicious), a few salads (they looked large & yummy), the burgers, loaded chips, & pork sliders. All had great things to say about their meals. What a great addition to Athens!

Get a reservation around dinner time and on the weekends a day early. Great service, friendly all around from the bar to the table. Had a fantastic burger with everything on it including fried green tomatoes. Asked cheddar beer sause in the side to dip those crispy fries in. It's a nice place with lots of space and can handle a crowd. Table of 20 was seated behind us. Rock solid food. Will be back as it just around the corner from us.

Our first visit to an OBBB Tuesday evening for takeout was a mixed bag. Hubs ordered the takeout and off we went to the newly opened brick and mortar. He went inside and I waited in the car, staring at the shiny bright beer vats [I think that's what they are called.]The goodness was, the hubs really liked the layout and interior of the restaurant. Also, it did not take him long to return with the order. And the meals smelled delicious in the car on the drive home!!My tacos were really good! Taco Peligro is the name of this dish. Tender fajita meat was delicious! It was topped with a siracha aioli [not my favorite but not a deal breaker], some mashed avocado and a little pico de gallo. The order had a glitch because my husband ordered it with French fries and it came with what looked like house made potato chips. These chips were good but just doused with salt! They held up their freshness on the ride home, and I ate the taco 'insides' atop some of the chips. The hubs stopped eating red meat years ago and wanted an Impossible Burger patty; however, the server could not understand, despite my husband repeating it 4-5 times. We ended up with a beef hamburger on thick bread, maybe sourdough? It also had pickle slices that tasted slightly like wickles, and the beef patty, although a good size, was terribly salty. The other items on the burger were a slew of caramelized onions and an unnaturally colored cheese which disappeared overnight in the fridge. Probably soaked into the bread, which I threw away because it was so soggy. I don't know if he was charged for the burger and I didn't look at the receipt, but he was surprised to see the burger in the fridge the next day. Hubs also got a Hot Honey Chicken sandwich. Both his orders came with French fries. These fries are thin - not exactly pencil thin, but not a lot to the fries. I thought they were disappointing. Hubs doesn't drink and I don't drink beer, just wine and it looks like they have a full bar. I am happy OBBB opened their second store, especially since it's so close to our house! This restaurant should really fill a niche in Athens and be a very popular place. I hope we can return and dine in and I wish them well!

The service here is always outstanding. The Waite staff is so friendly and efficient. I would like to suggest putting some art on the walls, as an artist myself the walls are so bare. All I see is a blank canvas, that is ready. My husband loved his meal. I liked mine ok, except for the bun it needed to be toasted.

The beer is top notch, and the menu does have plenty of options for vegetarian weirdos like us. Fun waiting, even, with pinball and cornhole!

This place was amazing besides the fry's being a little so salted the catfish was absolutely to die for I believe it is the best fish I have ever had as it was perfectly crispy, and came apart beautifully. The grits with shrimp were especially fantastic as they just light up all the senses. I think the chefs should be very proud of themselves. The customer service was very nice and sweet though I wish they gave more staff to the bar because there was only one person, but she did phenomenal. I really believe this a place everyone should try at least once.
