Where to Eat in Athens, Home to the University of Georgia
"Weaver D’s claim to fame is its role as rock band R.E.M.’s preferred feeding ground back in the 1980s. Yes, it does boast some of the city’s best fried chicken, but owner Dexter Weaver has said the trio was partial to its extensive selection of vegetarian-friendly sides. Diners are greeted by Weaver’s bellowing catchphrase, “automatic,” after placing their orders at the cafeteria-style counter. Everything here is good, but standouts include the broccoli and rice casserole and sinfully delicious banana pudding." - Sarra Sedghi
