My high school class had a GREAT reunion dinner at Cafe 72. The owner (Peggy) and her staff were super to work with They took great care of our group of about 40. Good food! Good service! I highly recommend this family restaurant!

Great simple food. Onion rings are to die for. Fresh cooked, no frozen stuff. Burgers are mixed fresh every day. Best around. Highly recommend but don’t be in a hurry. Fresh tales time.

Delicious old fashion Club Sandwich & Tater Tots. The chicken & dressing with sweet potato casserole looked yummy as well. Great service. Southern hospitality. Generous portions.

From out of state and stopped in on a whim, and so glad we did! Staff was so friendly and welcoming! Burgers were so very tasty and home made onion rings were spectacular! If you go, hopefully you will be lucky and they will have their chocolate salted caramel cake!

I’m eating my words! I went to Cafe 72 about 4 months ago. I ordered my food and left a review I was not impressed or going back. So last night I really wanted a hamburger but I didn’t want to drive through Athens. I live close to Cafe 72 so I thought let me give it another try. WOW I’m glad I did. I ordered a cheeseburger and fries. It was awesome!!!!! The best burger, tasty and cooked perfectly. It was so good I ordered another for lunch today. Next time I will order the onion rings, a patron in the next booth had them said they were delicious. They did look good. I’m so happy I tried it again! I will be back. Also the server was exceptional too!!!!!

Food was fine with a decent price. Left out a fry in the order. I think what bothered me the most though was when I went in to pick it up all the patrons that were there eating just stared me down even as I walked out. My anxiety couldn’t cope with that but it is what it is.
