Restaurants in SE Ohio?

[wik]

My wife and I are going camping in the Hocking Hills/Logan area this coming weekend, and will be visiting Athens as well during that time. While we're there, we'd like to eat at some unique or at least interesting places in that area. Do any of you have any suggestions? Thank you in advance for your help.

If you get a chance, try Casa Cantina in Athens (if you like Mexican). The service is a bit slow, but the food is excellent. I lived in Athens for 5 years during undergrad and grad school at OU, and I made a point to eat at Casa a lot.

If you like Sicilian style pizza, Goodfellas is great. They do it by the slice, and the last I knew, there were stores on College Street and Court Street in uptown Athens.

FYI, parking in Athens can be quite a hassle, but as classes haven't started for OU yet, you might catch a break.

Depending on your style, there are options in Athens:
-as above, if you like Mexican check out Casa Cantina. They definitely have a great atmosphere.
-if you like Italian, there's a restaurant called Toscano's that's quite delicious
-A personal favorite, a cajun-style restaurant called Blue Gator
-for a more classic good meal, Check out Stephen's

Most of these are right on/next to Court Street in Athens, with the exception of Toscano's which is a couple of blocks away.
