Reviews for Small's Drive-In

Biting into one of their juicy, hand-patted half-pound burgers with fresh, perfectly balanced toppings instantly reminded me of a homemade meal that hits all the right notes. The old-school diner vibes mixed with lightning-fast, polite service made the whole experience feel like a warm, tasty trip down memory lane. Between the crispy onion rings, flavorful hot dogs, and generous sides that could feed two, this place has me already planning my next visit!

By far the best hamburgers available in Athens. The meat is incredibly fresh, as are the condiments on the burger. i'm looking forward to trying other things on the menu!!

I have ate and loved the food at Smalls for a long time and Cody and his wife that own it now are sweethearts the best Cheeseburgers and not sticky on fries or tots,and reasonably priced do not get rude even if they are really busy,as most of the time they are!!

I agree with the positive reviews, the hamburger meat tastes fresh and is THICK! The fries are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside...perfect. I drove 15 minutes home before I ate the hamburger and it was still delicious, I'm wanting to order in next time, it will taste even better.

I drove all the way across town because I like the food here that much. I gave three stars because the food was very good. However, if I have to deal with the server that waited on me again, I will not be back. She was so rude and unfriendly. She did have on a mask, which I appreciated. I had one on also and she immediately said I can't hear a thing you're saying! She acted Iike she didn't want to answer any questions.she continued to be rude until time to get the check. I realize it was very hot outside, and she seemed to be the only waitess, at that time, but I could go anywhere for dinner, and be treated courteously. I will next time if she's working. The food was excellent.

Best place in town to eat. Maybe even the best place in the state. Delicious Cajun burgers. Wonderful friendly service. Good people.

GREAT Burgers! Homemade style, just like you throw on your grill at home...only BIGGER!

Very clean place too, I'll be coming back much more often now that I've eaten here.
