    Tiny burger in relation to the tots.
    Rich S.

    In town on business. Based on Yelp reviews for burgers, I gave it a try. Atmosphere: clean and bright, plenty of outdoor seating. Staff: friendly and accommodating. Food: I ordered the blue cheese burger, tots, and an ice tea. With tax, $18.33 The burger was very tasty, but it's barely bigger than a slider. The photo I took shows a normal tot in relation to the burger. Tots: cooked right and a good portion. Tipping: optional, and I'm still not sold on tipping for counter service. But here, they do bring it to your table. The issue is the credit card screen; you have 4 options: 20%, 25%, 30%, and "no tip". As I didn't have the option to choose less than 20%, I chose no tip. (Did cash tip the server though) Food good. Service good, value and portion not so much.

    Grilled seafood combination. Yummy.

    On Friday I called George and Louie's to ask if they take reservations for Saturday night. Kelcy, the front Manager answered and delightfully said that reservations were not necessary. I told her we would be bringing our dog and she told me not to tell her what kind It was. She wanted to figure it out when we showed up to order by recognizing my voice. Fun. The minute she saw August walk by, she figured it out. Kelly was just as friendly and engaging in person as she was on the phone. George and Louie's is a casual restaurant with the best food. The menu is posted on 5 (or 6?) blackboards hanging on the wall behind the counter. You walk in and place your order, then they bring your order to your table. Friendly ambience abounds. George himself came right over and stood before us smiling. Other patrons stopped to greet August the rock star, and also say hi to me and my wife. The seafood was excellent, fresh and tasty. I had the combo of shrimp, scallops and fish. My wife had a fried green tomato Greek salad. If we ever get back to Thomasville, I will be sure to come back to visit our new friends.

    Absolutely friendly family owned business. Everyone was so nice and caring. I arrived two minutes before closing but my ordered was placed in advance via phone. It's Thomasville, restaurants shut around 8-9pm on Saturday. They thought I was coming in to dine and the owner told me he was so sorry but they closed the kitchen. I was offered free drinks for a slight misunderstanding. I ordered the greek salad with fried chicken because it is advertised outside as best greek salad. I must say my greek salad was delicious. I cant wait to return here and try other food menu options. Again, the hospitality here is amazing and I was high satisfied with my greek salad. I highly recommend checking out George & Louie's.

    Grouper sandwich was good
    Josh B.

    Very expensive for a place with the menu on the wall. Tipping is VERY irritating as you stand at a counter to order and then take your seat. NO custom tip allowed! MINIMUM tip is 20%!!!!! Remember, you order at counter. Menu is on the wall. Cute place, friendly people. $10 cheesecake , $7 baby Greek salad ~ No, not worth it. Individual fried shrimp are $2.50 each, whatever. $16 Grouper sandwich ~ Worth it! 20% tip or nothing (or 25 or 30% are options, but not custom tip, as you are standing up) Service is not fast, but friendly. You can get a refill on your soda if you get up and get it, none of the 20% minimum tipped people are getting it for you.

    Such lovely casual dining! I am sorry to say that the exterior of George and Louie's restaurant in Thomasville, always gave me the impression it was a fine dining establishment. We are very casual people and don't dress up for dinner when driving a distance to enjoy a restaurant. I wish we had tried this restaurant sooner. This spot is casual and you'll see folks wearing everything from jeans to shorts. It is just good cooking with a lovely and friendly atmosphere. This review covers two lunches in the span of two months. The restaurant is counter service and they'll bring your meal to the table. Prices as of February 2025 range from $10 - $27. There is ample seating inside as well as some garden style dining tables outside. Enjoy those while the humidity is low. As you enter, the menu is available on large chalkboards over the ordering counter. This restaurant is known for their Greek salads, but try some seafood! They offer grilled and fried options, as well as chicken and burgers. There are plenty of sandwiches, po-boys, salads and entrees to choose from. The restaurant also had a shelved display of locally-made Orchard Pond products, including honey, olive tapenade, chimichurri, granola, olives, and beef jerky. All the Orchard Pond products make lovely housewarming gifts, individually or in a gift basket. I'm not sure what the connection is between the restaurant, but nice to know they have these offerings. Over our two visits we sampled the Big Louie Burger special, which was plenty filling! The burger was cooked as ordered and came with fries and a small Greek salad. We also tried the Grilled Seafood Combo platter, which was enough for two people and we brought home half for lunch the next day. This entree included two side items (fries and cole slaw), and hush puppies, an unspecified fish fillet, shrimp and scallops. Filling and so good. We also sampled the gyro platter, which came with fries and had plenty of Tzatziki sauce to share with the fries. The large Greek salad is also filling and it's served with sizable pieces of sardines, which my dining companion enjoyed. Counter service is swift and friendly. They also checked back during the meal and refilled drinks, as well as bringing to go boxes when we couldn't finish our meal. We were pleasantly surprised and pleased that the service doesn't come to an abrupt end when the meal is served, which can be the case at counter service restaurants. If you're making Thomasville a day destination, try George & Louie's for lunch. It's bright restaurant that will provide you with a filling meal and a place to relax!

    Chicken sandwich grits and sweet potatoe fries
    Brittney G.

    Took a drive to Thomasville with one of my girlfriends to grab lunch. This place is so cute! George was actually handing drinks to customers. I ended up ordering a fried chicken sandwich with sweet potatoe fries and cheese grits, it took a while for them to bring it out. But the line they quickly were able to take orders and constantly saw food coming out the kitchen. They also quickly bused tables as well which I appreciate formerly working in food service. The lemonade was okay. My friend she had the lamb gyro it was good. She really liked the cocktail sauce. If you're in town the food is good I'd stick to the Greek and seafood items on the menu. Nothing to run home and talk about here but great friendly service so I would return.

    Chicken gyro (lacked flavor, was not hot, very little tzatziki)

    Meh. Went because of the hype and I don't forsee us going again. The BEST thing was the fried tomatoes and ranch. We had a chicken gyro, a lamb gyro, and and a kids fried shrimp. I also ordered a small greek salad that was also just meh.

    A charming restaurant, with porch doors on all three sides of the large dining area, with the kitchen and service station against the fourth wall. The restaurant has both tables as well as booths. My friend and I ordered the Greek salad, hers with grilled chicken on top. The salads were very fresh and delicious, with a generous portion of olives and cheese. Plus, Louie was there in the restaurant and came over to speak with us, telling us his history and the family's history of coming over from Greece and starting restaurants here. Lovely experience, very charming.

My server immediately came to the table, brought me an unsweetened tea. I was torn between shrimp n grits or the Parmesan crusted black grouper. My said both were great. I chose the grouper. My entree arrived and it didn't disappoint. A large thick piece of grouper cooked perfectly surrounded by a crispy delicious crust. The Brussels sprouts were crispy and tender with a tasty sweet glaze. The greens were also on point - lots of bacon pieces and a sweet/spicy taste. Lunch came with a large crispy hush puppy. With tip - lunch was $50. A bit pricey - I don't mind paying top dollar for a top quality meal and service. Well done Jonah's!

Not really worth the wait. Decent food. Friendly staff. But nothing super special. For Thomasville, I get it, but I live in Pensacola where there is a place like this on every corner. I had the grouper sandwich (blackened) and the fried green tomatoes for a starter. The FGTs were very good. The sandwich was average except that the ciabatta bun was exceptional. Cheese grits on the side were above average. Brussels sprouts were just like any bistro Brussels sprouts ever (man, I wish this trend would die, but I keep ordering them hoping to be surprised.) The place was PACKED (as usual) but the staff were friendly and attentive. For me, however, this is expected in any restaurant. Therefore: 3 stars for decent - if unimaginative- food and good service. Will not come back unless there is no line ... albeit an unlikely scenario.

    It's a great place to buy fresh water fish or salt water seafood. I find most fish to be fresh and…read moresomewhat reasonably priced. The brim or blue gill fish come from Lake Okeechobee in Florida and are all tagged. Under current laws, they cannot buy your fish unless you are licensed to sell. Shrimp may be from the Florida gulf or Louisiana. But it is all good. They will clean the shrimp anyway you want it. I like mine off the shell with the tail on and deveined. You will want to wash them one more time at home to remove any leftover residues. Mostly I go to buy shrimp and it's always good. I get the jumbo shrimp to cook on the grill. Cleaning of your shrimp is done while you wait. It doesn't take long. They also do a great job at cleaving the fish you catch. They charge $1 a pound and if you want the skin off the filets they it's $2 a pound. It's really not worth the mess and effort to do it yourself. Just let them do it. Expect to leave your ice chest with them. Depending on how busy they are and the time of the day, it could be ready the same day or the next morning. They accept all major credit and debit cards. They will give you ample ice with any order. Whether you are buying or just getting cleaned. They Lao have frozen seafood as well but some of that might be imported which I never buy. All employees are very courteous. They will be glad to help you carry your ice chest to and from your vehicles. Harper's has a huge wholesale business in the back with semi-trucks that delivery seafood all over the place. This is not a small operation. They know seafood. They buy it on their trips as well. I have posted some priced which were effective Sep 2019. I recommend Harper's.

I did surf n turf, medium well which most kitchens struggle with. No different here, cooked well all the way through. Baked potato was genuinely cool to the touch. Collard greens were excessively seasoned with vinegar. Not good at all. The presentation was shockingly bad, one side on my plate had a rim of black pepper, the other side had a rim of butter from the shrimp, that's my best guess. Shockingly bad. My wife ordered ribeye medium rare. The outer part was well done and the inside was very rare, cook temperature way too high. Baked potato cool to the touch again. From my seat the kitchen looked chaotic and undisciplined, no quality control at the pass at all, no floor manager present anywhere to be seen. Sometimes my view was blocked by employees clocking in to work. This table should be the last to be assigned period. Non culinary folks could find easy ways to improve this place, linen napkins, side plates, hot food, precision cooking etc. The lack of oversight for the food preparation and presentation of the food killed the experience for sure, no supervision or management of the kitchen and food.

We stumbled upon this place after not wanting to wait the long wait at our fave spot, Jonah's. It was sort of hard to tell if it was open or not but we quickly learned that it was and decided to give it a try.

Food wise, it could've been better but again, wasn't the absolute worst. I did the build a sampler with 3 items from the appetizer menu to include fried cheese sticks, fried calamari, and popcorn shrimp. The calamari was unseasoned and I didn't like the breading. The cheese sticks seemed to use old cheese. The shrimp were pretty okay, I'd probably get those if I were to go back again. My mom had a boil with just headless shrimp that came with corn and potatoes. I had her corn and it was not done enough or seasoned well. Overall, the experience could've been better.

Note, there is salad and a small number of veggies on the menu. But, it is ok to "indulge" every now and then! :o) My mom ordered the Flounder with coleslaw and sweet potato fries; I had shrimp tacos and sweet potato fries. My daughter and one of my sisters both ordered the shrimp and sausage boil; and my other sister had catfish, shrimp, and cajun fries. We started the meal off with the sampler (cheese sticks, chicken fingers, shrimp, hushpuppies). We also ordered the beignets (two orders) and decided to have those come out with the appetizers! Sometimes, it is good to eat your dessert first! LOL! All in all, we enjoyed our meal; everything tasted fresh and was really good. There was a minor issue with my check/bill, but the manager resolved it quickly. Though this restaurant will probably not be on my list of "favorites" (due to the menu full of fried items), I am sure I will visit another time just to try one of the seafood boils. However, I will certainly recommend this place to others - especially those who are in the mood for fried foods.
