Athens is in Georgia, in the Southeast, where summers are long, hot and humid, winters are mild, and afternoon thunderstorms and the hurricane season from June to November can change plans at short notice. Getting around Athens is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across Georgia's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Love the atmosphere, personality, and attentiveness at Pretty Boy. Definitely make a reservation! I’ve only been twice, but I plan to keep coming back until I find my favorite dish! So far the top runners for ME are the street corn (especially with the happy hour special—only $10) and the mushroom pizza! I’ve tried the short rib, chicken salad, chicken skins, cold peanut noodles, etc.. Again, my top contenders are the street corn and the mushroom pizza! I wasn’t a fan of the new dessert: Watermelon Mezcal Sorbet. If you like Tajun and a custard flavor, then you’ll love it! The dessert coffee drink was to die for!!

Made a reservation to visit after I’ve heard good things about this restaurant. They are strict with your table time and will ask you to leave after about an hour. Unfortunately I was left disappointed with the food. We got there in time for their happy hour and ordered the fried chicken skins and the Viet corn as appetizers. Everyone raves about the fried chicken skins but to me they lacked flavor and seasoning. The sauce on them did a lot of the heavy lifting and they honestly just tasted like flavorless pork rinds, not what I expected. The corn was good and if anything I’d purchase that again although I don’t think what amounts to one ear of corn is worth $12. For my entree I ordered the $18 drunken noodles and paid 7 extra dollars to have pork belly added on as a protein. The noodles were dry and didn’t have strong flavors present. The pork belly was dry and hard and definitely not worth an additional $7 for the portion received. I ate a few bites of my food and took over half home as leftovers which was probably a mistake. This food did not reheat well as leftovers. The already dry noodles with no sauce became even more dry, it was like I heated up a pack of $1 ramen and ate i

I heard about this place from a friend and was SOOOO glad I went while in town. We ordered the fried chicken skins, the imperial rolls, the coconut short ribs, and the hamachi crudo. I was wowed by each dish. Each bite was packed full of flavor and I felt like I was getting a little bit of something new each bite. I don’t go to Athens often but will definitely be paying a visit here when I come back.

5 stars is not enough! Interesting, creative Vietnamese food. The ambiance is wonderful; the service flawless. We had the vegan street corn, which is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Savory, spicy, sweet, spectacular. The stir fried vegetables were also amazing with vegan chili crisp, and fried garlic! Then, the viet crispy crepe - savory, flavorful, light, delicious! We bought the kitchen staff a drink; it was so good. Highly recommended!

The servers are very nice and understanding here, shoutout to Hailey! For working with such a large party, she did a fantastic job! The food was nice, although I felt somewhat lacking of a dish made from “a chef that was on tv” that they proudly emphasize. Drinks were okay but nothing special. The pandan cake was delicious. Drunken noodles were okay but charging $7 for the equivalent of half a strip of pork belly is very much not worth it.
