Food was excellent and service was great as well! Ambiance was nice! We talked with the owner he is a very cool and humbled Chef that comes out and talk to the customers to make sure everything is ok! read more

I enjoyed my visit to Cornbread and Butter. The biggest highlight was the exemplary customer service. Everyone was kind and helpful, consistently checking up on us. In terms of food, I loved the collard green dip, the macaroni and cheese, and the honey buttermilk cornbread read more

Cornbread and Butter - Southern Near Me - Grayson, Georgia

I wanted to love this place so badly that I honestly have mixed feelings about writing this review--but I feel like it needs to be said. After two previous visits, we were finally able to make a reservation and actually experience brunch. First, I want to say that the staff were genuinely kind. We were greeted and seated right away, and the manager was very apologetic once they became aware of our experience. Unfortunately, the service was extremely slow. We were a party of four, and we waited almost three hours for our food. We placed our drink orders and waited about 45 minutes without receiving them. Our waitress never brought them out; someone from the kitchen eventually came through, and we stopped her to ask about our drinks. She brought us Arnold Palmers, although that was not what we originally ordered. All four of us ordered the catfish plate with collard greens and macaroni and cheese. The macaroni and cheese was actually pretty good, but the collard greens were extremely salty, so we had to send them back. Unfortunately, the catfish was also much too salty. To make matters worse, my food came out about 15 minutes after everyone else had already started eating. At that point, I asked for my meal to be wrapped up to go. I really do love the concept and potential of this restaurant, and I genuinely want to see them succeed. However, based on our experience, I would not recommend visiting just yet. There are definitely some kinks that need to be worked out, especially with the kitchen and service. We received a sincere apology from management, which I appreciated. I may give them some time to get things ironed out and try again in the future. I really wanted to love this place. Unfortunately, this visit just wasn't it. read more

Cornbread and Butter - Fried okra appetizer - Southern Near Me - Grayson, Georgia

Upon entering, we were greeted by a pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. However, our first visit to this restaurant was far from satisfactory. The champagne for our mimosas was served warm, which was a major disappointment. To make matters worse, my fried chicken was undercooked and still had blood inside. I promptly sent it back, and while the staff apologized and offered to remake it, they failed to take any further action to address the poor quality of the meal. We'll give them some time before deciding to return, hoping this was just an off day since they just opened recently. Unfortunately, our overall experience left us feeling disappointed. read more

First timer here! I've seen videos and reviews on TikTok that convinced me to give this place a try. Our friends and neighbors invited us to dinner, not knowing this was the place. 6:30 reservation, and yes, it's best to call ahead, as the dining area is small. Had no idea exactly where it was, but as we got closer, we started to recognize the area. It's an upcoming area that they consider "The Square". If you've visited The Grove in Snellville, it's similar. The Grove is larger But this area is exactly as I described: a square housing restaurants and salons. Most of the stores had closed for the day Cornbread and Butter seats maybe 30-40 ppl, including the bar stools. The bar serves liquor only, if I'm not mistaken. Casual ambiance from what I observed. Jeans, jacket, shorts, etc. As I was snapping pictures, the owner was sitting next to us with his Consultant. He shared his background and how long he has been in the area. Very nice guy who loves to cook. He's born and raised in MS Our friends have eaten here before, so they guided us on what to order. I ordered salmon w/petite potatoes, Cesar salad, and Mac & Cheese. Salmon was cooked to perfection. Tender and seasoned just right with lemon butter Hubby ordered pork chops, sweet potato soufflé, and skillet-fried corn. He noted it was all delicious. Chops were lightly fried with a hint of spicy . They are a generous portion, about the size of your hand. Friends ordered catfish fillets (2), okra, green beans, and chicken & waffles. Catfish was lightly fried, very flaky. Delicious! The green beans had a hint of pepper (spicy), but they were good. Same for the chicken I ordered the collard green dip. Think of spinach dip except it's collards. Topped with cheddar cheese. It was tasty, but more so of the smoked turkey meat that is chipped up throughout the dish. It's served with chips (fried pita bread) The strawberry cornbread reminded me of a cupcake. It's a cornbread muffin topped with strawberry sauce. It's good! I only had a forkful of the peach cobbler, but let me tell you it's delicious! I will eat more tomorrow Overall, we enjoyed our waitress's service. She was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Not only that, she repeated the orders back to us to make sure it was correct. She got it right! The food and ambiance are enough to go back. The owner stated he will be adding poetry night. A live band is there on weekends only. If you're in the area or have seen the videos on social media, stop by and give them a try. read more

TV show chef diner hits the spot with his flavorful dishes. The short ribs speak for themselves. They were amazing. Collard greens and sweet potatoes were a great match. The peach tea paired well with the meal. We drove an hour and enjoyed it very much. They filled up quickly so make a reset if you plan to attend. The place is welcoming and the servers make you feel at home. read more

I saw this restaurant on TikTok and instantly knew my mom would want to try this restaurant. She watches the chefs cooking show and I've seen a few episodes as well. I made a reservation for dinner. I was so glad I made a reservation as this restaurant was pretty busy as soon as they opened. Service was top tier from every employee we encountered. Our server was Zoey and she was very knowledgeable and offered a few suggestions. We ordered the Korean short ribs, collard greens and sweet potato with the peach jalapeño cornbread. For the beverage we ordered the peach tea. The food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I'm so sorry to do this. But unfortunately for us. The experience missed the mark. It's a beautiful little building with great potential. Honestly, the staff is really nice. We had a one o'clock appointment, got there on time and was seated. Our waitress came and took our order, but never came back to check on us even an hour later. It took the owner's sister to come out to get things situated, and even then it was still a slow process. Although we appreciated her efforts, it just was awful experience. In total, it took us about 2 hours to get our food. Although the food looked great, you can tell somethings were rushed. I truly appreciate them trying to make things better.But I gotta tell the truth. I'm willing to give this place another trial.But hopefully they learn from their mistakes. I believe the potential was there, but it may help. If you got people who cared about the establishment, as much as you say, you do. read more

I love a new locale for a brunch date without the traffic for travel! This spot was recommended, so let's get to the review! Service -- You definitely can tell they are new new by the slow response times (most of the hostesses appear fairly young and likely inexperienced). The older staff took the reins and saved this review from being a strong two (2)! I waited several minutes to be greeter and then was told because I did not have a reservation, the only availability at that time was the bar. Say less! I posted up at the bar and ordered a simple berry lemonade. Tasty! Next, I ordered the two-piece (white) chicken meal with collard greens (yummy, with a little kick) and Gouda macaroni and cheese (a little dry for that early in the morning, but it wasn't "bad"). The chicken was flavorful and fried to a golden crisp! The vibe (ambiance) is what I would return for. Chef Richard came out to box up my leftovers -- he was on point and really saved the service review! The DJ -- Honey! He passed all the vibe checks to make this family friendly spot worth coming to with or without a date! Overall, I will return and try some other eats! Because they are new, give them grace as they sort out the flow of general food service (Tip to the staff - please check on your patrons!!). read more

The waffles (ordered the sweet potato and cinnamon toast) came to our table lukewarm and everything was à la carte. The waffles were overpriced at around $14 for the waffle only! The service was outstanding and everyone was friendly. It is nicely decorated with only about four tables to sit at inside with outdoor seating space and bar seating. read more

Sunday was our first time here, but it won't be our last! They have dining room and patio seating. Be sure to make your reservation. Chef Jernard Wells made sure he came out and spoke to patrons. His recommendations for side pairings was on point. We started with collard green dip and salmon bites, delicious! My wife went with the shrimp & grits, that signature sauce is definitely a secret weapon. I went with the Korean short ribs, mac & cheese, and green beans, amazing! They had a DJ, so the vibe was nice during our meal. Trust me, you want to try them out. read more

Amazing service and the food was very good. I ordered the catfish and it was very good especially with their homemade hot sauce. Sides were smoked Gouda Mac & cheese with fried skillet corn. The jalapeños & peach cornbread was great. Also the bartender was great as well the cocktails were on point. read more

The menu items I viewed on their site and chose to visit the restaurant to order were not offered at the restaurant. I have diet restrictions so It took me time to try to figure out how certain items were actually prepared to make the right choice, while I noticed several times two kitchen staff and the bartender staring at me for some reason. It was not a pleasant experience honestly. The food is pricy and staff not warm and friendly. I won't be back. read more

Very disappointed. Fried chicken was undercooked. Too expensive to be so sloppy. Fried fish was a disappointment . First time was great! Inconsistent. I give up! read more

My husband and I went today to try this restaurant. we were seated outside on the patio as there were no tables available inside. We were served water and waited 20 minutes a not one person came out to take our order or check on us. It was very disappointing! We ended up leaving. Not a good start for a new business. read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining with a close friend at Cornbread and Butter for dinner. We arrived at our reserved time, and the restaurant was in full swing. We were warmly greeted and promptly seated. Our server, Zoe, was ultra-cheerful! She answered our questions and gave spot-on recommendations. Our drinks came out quickly. We ordered smoked old-fashioneds and were impressed with the bartender smoking them at our table. We asked for some simple syrup to make our drinks sweeter, and our request was graciously fulfilled. The wait for our food was reasonable. The consultant/concierge spoke with us during our wait. I had eaten at Cornbread and Butter during its opening week, and the fried chicken lacked seasoning. I usually give a new restaurant some grace, and I am glad I did, as this restaurant has eradicated all opening week jitters. I reordered the pressure-fried chicken with sweet potato casserole and collard greens. The food was piping hot and deliciously prepared. My friend ordered salmon, hot honey macaroni and cheese, and sweet potato casserole. She savored every bite. Her food also came out piping hot. In fact, we both had to let things cool down just a bit! We both agreed this small, quaint restaurant is a huge plus to our Grayson community. The vibe is positive and vibrant! The music is appropriate and not overly loud. I observed other diners, and they looked pleased. We appreciated that the restaurant's temperature was not Arctic cold! I must note the staff is open to suggestions. Cornbread and Butter is definitely a great place to eat! I plan to return for brunch really soon! read more

Cornbread and Butter - Lobster with Lobster & Grits. This dish was amazing. I love that it was the perfect size for one. - Southern Near Me - Grayson, Georgia

Ordered peach and jalapeño cornbread; inside of the cornbread was not done. The manager said they were trying out a new recipe and made them bigger.. My suggestion would be to make mini cornbread (because your name is cornbread and butter) and have this as a free bread option to your patrons. Fried shrimp starter was excellent and I had the sausage and collard greens quiche, which was good. After they work out the kinks I will dine here again. read more

Cornbread and Butter - Southern Near Me - Grayson, Georgia

The food was way overpriced for the quality. Several dishes were overly salty, and the chicken was dry and lacked flavor. The peach cobbler was far too sweet and wasn't enjoyable. I also didn't realize that a gratuity had already been added to our bill, so I ended up tipping twice. It would have been appreciated if our server had pointed that out before I paid. Overall, the experience did not meet our expectations, especially considering the cost. Unfortunately, our family will not be returning. read more

Back again to try other items on the menu. Everything was perfect & delicious. This time I had the fried catfish. It was fried to perfection. We also tried all 3 of the cornbreads, the stand out was definitely the jalapeño peach cornbread. Will be back soon... read more

The experience was wait time it was not good for large group or small group Most of the people that came waited 2 hours and never got their food with other guests Most of food was good some got the food early others at different times 1 to 2 hours later Their customer service could improve courtesy to come to table to let group aware of wait time or apologize for delays Unfortunately they may need more experience in running the kitchen to improve wait time, customer service and quality of the food 1 to 2 hours wait time is unacceptable for any restaurant read more

Menu online that we used to decide before we went was not the menu for the restaurant. We had questions about the menu they did have because I'm gluten free and don't do fried or spicy. The bartender and a few of the kitchen staff were staring at us then each other which was weird. We didn't really feel comfortable with that since they were making our food so we left. Never did get to try the food but it's a cute little space. The menu seemed a bit pricey but if the food's really good I don't mind one bit. read more

They need a hostess dedicated to just hosting... We selected to sit outside because there was no more tables available but a community table the size of a booth... Way to close for a community table... The hostess took our drink and appetizers order and never returned.. About 30 minutes of us sitting she returned and asked "have someone taken yall order" ? An hour into our wait a server appeared took our orders and never returned... we are now at an hour 15 minutes in and the hostess appeared with an appetizer and said" yall been waiting so long it's on me"! This place is very unorganized and needs a good manager! Will not return until leadership has changed! read more

I was definitely excited to try this restaurant. It's a very small, quaint spot, and we sat at the bar. The bartender/server was excellent and provided great service throughout the evening. I ordered the jerk peach lamb chops with greens and mac and cheese, along with an Old Fashioned, while my mom ordered the fried chicken with potato wedges and greens. The Old Fashioned was excellent. One odd detail, though, was that water was served in what looked like shot glasses instead of regular water glasses. We arrived right at 5 p.m. when dinner service started, but the food still took a while to come out. Unfortunately, the food itself was disappointing. My lamb chops had good flavor but were not served warm. The greens were overly salty, and the mac and cheese was just okay. The cornbread muffin, however, was very tasty with a light drizzle of honey. My mom's fried chicken was lukewarm and tough, which suggested it may not have been cooked properly. I also tasted a wing, and it lacked crispiness and had an overpowering flour taste. The potato wedges were also too salty. Overall, we were disappointed with the food quality. The restaurant has potential, but significant improvements need to be made in food preparation and consistency. Hoping they improve over time. read more

This was our first time coming here. The food was very tasty. I had the catfish and collard greens. My wife had the chicken wings, collard greens and sweet potatoes. The staff was very nice and friendly. We will definitely be back. read more

I was going to take my family to this restaurant but found out from a friend about how tips are done. 1st, there is 22% tip added automatically which is ok but the restaurant takes 5% of that with their prices for the food is already high. Then the rest has to be tipped out before the waitress gets anything. I think it's illegal for the restaurant to take ANY part of the tips. Ridiculous!! I will never go there and I'm spreading the word. read more

If you're looking for a great dining experience I cannot recommend a better place than the newly opened Cornbread and Butter. mmmmm!For over a year my family and friends have been discussing the decline in service, serving sizes and food quality when dining out. But Cornbread and Butter addressed all those concerns. Our server was Marquita and  Zamiyah was the floor manager. She addressed all concerns and kept things moving (pretty sure I misspelled their names, sorry ladies). I live near midtown, I drove a long way to have this dining experience and I will do it again, soon. Having said that, I can't wait until they open a sister location closer to Atlanta. Come on Chef Jernard and wife Keena, how soon?  Thanks much, Trudye Nesbit read more

Service great; little pricey but sweet potato waffle is EXCELLENT! I will be going back soon.

Met my bestie there for brunch yesterday eager to try a new place. It is in the Railyard in Grayson but it is kinda difficult to actually find. Upon entering it's smaller than I expected but that's what I get for having preconceived notions. It is warm and inviting and had many smiling eager faces greeting us! We explained to our server that we would be catching up and since it wasn't very busy at 12:30 on this Tuesday would it be okay to take up her table for a couple of hours and she assured us that would be fine. Of course, within the last hour we had four other people checking on us to make sure we were OK so we'd have to go thru telling them the same ! Now onto the actual food... we both ordered the catfish that came with one side and I thought cornbread but neither of us received any cornbread, so I'm going to assume that it needed to be ordered at an additional cost. Since the 2 pieces of catfish and 1 side was $24 excluding tax & tip we didn't bother to inquire about the cornbread. Both pieces of my catfish were kinda small, one being slightly larger than the other but both were over cooked. I eat mine starting at the end and it was hard not crispy letting me know that it was over cooked. My friend started in the middle of her largest piece which was palm size and said hers was very tasty but another establishment we both enjoyed going to for catfish was much better, bigger and lower in price. Now my side was Gouda mac n cheese and after a couple bites I remarked that it had a odd flavor compared to other dishes of the same... my friend tasted it and said it was the gouda bc it wasn't smoked gouda and that seemed to be the only cheese except for the cheddar on the top. Her side was the collard greens and we both said that they were the best item between us both. My only regret was I had left my phone charging in my car so I didn't take any pictures. I truly wish this restaurant the best but I doubt that myself or my friend will go back. I look forward to seeing other reviews and should they be consistently high for the actual food then maybe I will.... time will tell. read more

We loved the food and service! I had the mimosa tower and my spouse had the peach tea. That tea was simply amazing- so strong and flavorful! We got the peach jerk wings- crispy and flavorful, and that sauce is so elevated! So good. We also got the collard dip and it was so flavorful and creamy! Loved it. The cornbreads were very good- especially the strawberry. I had the sweet potato waffle which tasted good with just butter. Also, the sweet potato soufflé was so very tasty- not too sweet. We also had the pressure cooked chicken with the thai chili sauce. That sauce was also magnificent- so complex and great! The workers were very pleasant and fun- they took very good care of us. We even got to see Chef Jernard while we were there which was very exciting! It was an excellent meal and we wish we lived closer so we could try more of the menu soon. read more

Don't get fried chicken - they haven't mastered this yet. Several people sent raw chicken back to the kitchen. Not a good experience at all. They refried it and it was still under cooked. No concessions were made on the bill. Everything else was just ok. I really wanted to love this place, but it's not worth the drive or money. I would not recommend. read more

We had such high expectations, what a huge letdown. The food was mediocre and thats being generous. The first entrée we ordered was clearly burnt, but the server still brought it out. Mac & cheese was dry. Collard green dip had a bit of an aftertaste. $56 for lunch and we left the food there. We gave it a shot, but will not be back. read more

Cornbread & Butter is an absolute gem in Grayson! First, be prepared to relax and enjoy the experience. Everything is handcrafted and made to order, not pre-made and sitting under a heat lamp. A little patience is required, but trust me--it is more than worth the wait. We decided to have a bit of a smorgasbord and sample as much as possible. We enjoyed the whole chicken platter with sweet potato soufflé, truffle fries, strawberry honey buttermilk cornbread, a Caesar side salad, the catfish platter, and the honey hot collard green dip experience. Every single item was phenomenal. The flavors were outstanding, the portions were generous, and you could tell everything was prepared with care and attention to detail. To top it all off, we took home their homemade cinnamon and brown sugar peach cobbler, which was the perfect ending to an amazing meal. I was extremely impressed by both the quality and quantity of food we received. Even better, the prices were very reasonable for what you get. Our server, Brayton (if I have the name correct), was exceptional, and the entire wait staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Great service all around. This is definitely going to become one of our go-to restaurants. If you're planning to visit on a Sunday, I strongly recommend making reservations. Outstanding food, outstanding service, and a truly enjoyable dining experience! read more
