Locos Grill & Pub, Eastside

Locos is an Athens landmark for good food and hanging out with friends and family. We had the guacamole and chicken fajita salad. The food was abundant and fresh. Service and atmosphere was good for a lunchtime Saturday.

Always love visiting the location! Service is great. Drinks are great. Loco’s is one of my favorite places to get wings in Athens!!! Highly recommend stopping by

Locos was at one time my favorite place in Athens. Over the last three visits I’m more and more disappointed. Menu changes and terrible management has ruined an Athens staple. Until things change, I won’t be back.

I was not impressed with this place… service was not good and the food had no flavor at all. Prices are ridiculous… will not be back

This is not a bad place to go. It’s just not a GOOD place we would want to go. That’s why it got three starts overall. And overall, not impressive enough to persuade us to return any time soon.
4 stars — customer service
3 stars — food quality
3 stars — drink quality
My wife an I went to check this place out. Aggressive advertising must have had its affect. Anyways… We wanted to get some appetizers and drinks just to get out of the house and to socialize a little. We were not impressed with the mixed drink she received, but satisfied. Chips and salsa;The salsa was said to be fresh and I say, yeah. I liked it. I’d want it again the menu was a little unimpressive. Nothing caught our eye, and I don’t even remember what the other appetizer was anymore.
But it was local and satisfactory. I think it might be two steps away from becoming a dive joint. But I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

great place to relax and eat good food and have drinks… family friendly as well as friends and group friendly no complaints

Always ordered the spicy chicken sandwich with teriyaki sauce instead of buffalo. OMG it is my favorite chicken sandwich anywhere. Idk how they do it but they sauce the hell out of the fried chicken breast and somehow it remains crispy. I have been countless times and never tried anything else but they people with me were always satisfied with the burgers. I also had really good service even when I went during games and the place was extra busy. I was bummed when I found out it’s only a Georgia restaurant.

Great burgers! Called in a pickup order and it was ready in less than 15 minutes. If you need great food fast, Locos is the place to go!

Was skeptical at first due to the crazy name. However, I’ve been coming here for about a year now once a month for our Trout Unlimited meetings held in the group room. Great space, good service and reliable food.

They have good trivia on Tuesday night, which is the only reason I come here. The buffalo nachos are pretty good, but nothing else is really worth mentioning.

I go here every once in a while. It’s good food at an okay price, but it never comes off as anything special.

Love, love, love the Gobbler sandwich. It is one of my very favorite sandwiches! Great staff, location, and menu!!! Terrific place to watch the Dawgs!!!

Went in for lunch and got the black and bleu burger medium well based on my coworker’s recommendation.
Ambiance: Mostly middle aged men there on their lunch break. I guess this location might not be the easiest to get to for all the students (?) Saw a couple of families wander in. Olympics on in the background so it was loud but mostly okay.
Service: Our server was training someone new so I’m sure he was trying to do it all by the book. Still, our food took a LONG time to come to the table. The trainee and the veteran server were both pleasant and attentive
Food: Like I said, black and bleu burger, medium well. Took a while to come out, meaning we got hungrier and hungrier till our objectivity began to fade :) But the burger was tasty. Was it a bougie, fusion burger worth $ 9? Probably not. For that, I would have expected higher quality beef (this stuff tasted like lower end ground chuck and was not seasoned well) and better bleu cheese. Something sharper, tangier, saltier, would have gone along much better.
The steak fries were delicious and the portion was huge for $ 9 so I can see why this could be a crowd favorite. That, and the fact that it’s a local «chain» earns it at least 2 of the 3 stars I gave it. The last star was for those good fries.
Price: $ 9 for the burger, a pickle spear, and a smattering of steak fries. Not horrible but there is tastier food available for the same price downtown.

Not the best service but delicious wings. Black and blue burger was also tasty but came out colder than would have preferred. Would definately go back to watch a game.

I came out here with my wife, stepson, and sister-​in-​law while on a trip out to go see my wife’s grandfather. We got there just before a thunderstorm moved in, and the lightshow outside was awesome. Unfortunately, when we got there, we got seated in a particular location where the servers couldn’t really see us, so unless the reception team tells the server that we’re there, they don’t know… And the reception team didn’t tell our server that we were there. We sat and waited for something like 20 minutes, wondering where our server was, before one of us finally got up and went to find someone who could help us. I don’t entirely blame the server for this (although he could have made a circuit to check all his tables), as the reception team should have told him that he had a new table. Still, the fact that it required one of us to get up and tell someone we were there didn’t really endear me to the place.
The food itself was decent. I don’t recall at this moment what I got, but it certainly wasn’t bad. The table was rather wobbly, but that was easily fixed with some beer coasters. I didn’t get a chance to check the bathrooms or the food inspection score, however. Overall, I would give it three stars, as they didn’t really impress me either way.

Yum! Food is fabulous! Service is good. Ask for April, she’ll rock your world! And please don’t leave w/​out trying the chunky cheese fries. They’ll change your life!

It was super busy at the other location of Locos (westside?) and luckily, they weren’t as packed here. However, most of the beer listed on the board were out… eh, please don’t list it if you don’t have it.
I like how they were willing to change the television (and had plenty to change from) to the network that was playing the game we were interested in. The other Locos quickly dismissed us without bothering to help.
I got the grilled chicken burrito, sub fries with a baked potato. Tasted like something I could have gotten from taco bell.
I’ve rated 3 stars because YES I have had better elsewhere… but I liked how they were so accommodating. Extra star for that!
