Fresh food, I mean the smash burgers were still dripping. The fried pickle spears are awesome. I would eat here more than "again" if I lived in Athens.

Local 706 is my go to spot for a great burger! Hand made smash burgers & fresh fries make for a perfect post run meal during the week. The covered porch is great spot for a night out.

Best burger we've had in Athens by far. Got the mushroom Swiss and everything was wildly good. Homemade sauces and good beer selection, decently priced for what it is. We will surely be back!

I definitely judged this place by its cover as another greasy wing pub, and boy was I wrong! The inside was clean, with a nice, light atmosphere, and my server was very attentive. They had wings and burgers yes, but the salad and sandwich options...Read More
