Jenkins Grille & Market

It's not a bad spot in Athens...fried pickles and fried jalapeno slices (bottle caps) are fantastic!  Salads are good and so is the french dip.

Nothing great, here.  Decor isn't bad, but you go for the food, beverages, and service.  Obviously it's hard to mess up a beer, but the food isn't anything special, and the service has pretty much been lacking the three or four times I've been.  The location is absolutely horrendous, as well.  If you're not a local, there's no way you know about this place or where it's located.  The buffalo tenders are shaken in Texas Pete Buffalo Wing Sauce.  How do I know?  Because I often used to do this myself with chicken tenders from my walmart deli.  The reuben is completely ruined by mustard and another "non-authentic" reuben-like ingeredient.  You literally have to tell them the exact ingredients you want on one in order to get it right.  Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of other choices in Athens for this type of restaurant.  Then again, maybe you should be saving money and doing this at your home/apt instead.  That would be my choice.

Decor in the restaurant is pretty awesome - vintage signs and 60s music posters - and a nice fireplace.
Our waiter (younger man) was very professional and probably one of the best I've had anywhere.
My boyfriend had some DELICIOUS chicken and rice soup and I hate a very tasty rib-eye sandwich.
Eventually, I'll try out their chicken salad which everyone around here seems to rave about.
