Had a midafternoon snack & some drinks at Grey's. The food was Ok, but I think I might have mis-ordered / under-ordered as their menu looks amazing; burger next time. The interior is almost dive-bar; there's a strong aroma of old, spilled beer. [Need to mop once in a while :) ] The bartenders were cool & went with the flow. The environment was great though. Things started slow, but good energy once the place filled-up with patrons. read more

Outdooor seating is available. First come first get of course. Not a bad option if you like the downtown people watching and the nostalgic odors of the earth. I ordered a blue moon and it was cold. Thats a plus. To eat, I ordered two sliders with fries. Let me first say the fries were burnt. However, played with the ranch dressing, which I hate ranch, it was great. The sliders were very good. They put the lettuce, pickles and condiments on the side as to not soak the bread. That's a plus. I truly enjoyed the food and for a decent price. Weill be back. The service was great. The bartender was very nice. read more

Grey's Tavern - Sliders with fries and a blue moon. - Burgers Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

Surprisingly good food for what initially strikes you as just a bar. The fries and hotdogs are really great and so are the nachos. Service can suffer because it often has just one bartender working who tries super hard but can only do so much. We actually enjoy going here whenever we want a casual drink and don't know what we want to eat in particular. read more

What a great little gem. I enjoy trying new places and finding gems. This is a good one. I ordered a Singapore sling and the bartender said he had never made one before. He looked it up and did not disappoint! So nice. I really don't drink much so I actually looked up common cocktails at bars. I offered to try something different but he insisted. It was fantastic and the memory was great as well. I will be back. The food was delicious and the people were incredibly friendly. read more

Very poor service with sib par bar food. The staff seem like they don't want to work here and couldn't care less about customer service. Took around 15 minutes to get a server to the table after we sat down on a slow day. First and last time to visit this place. Save your money and go to McDonalds. read more

Greensboro is known for its bar scene. As it's a college town, there's no shortage of watering holes. But what's kind of a secret is that it's also a hyper-competitive bar food scene. If you're visiting, congrats. Because there are TONS of affordable options to soften the blow of your 11:37 a.m. double Tito's and sodas with limes. But Grey's stands near the top of the list. Their full menu is slammed with great options from burgers to hot dogs to salads to even hush puppies (do it do it now). And if you're looking for jumbo wings to send you through the space-time-flavor continuum, go no further. Grey's Tavern is affordable, chill, and delicious. Stop by on Elm St. and stay for a bit. Plus their karaoke game is ON. POINT. I'm gonna head out now and prepare my chilling rendition of "Love Will Keep Us Together" that I perform with myself after a few late-morning Tito sodas. read more

This place went down hill so hard. I called to pick up an order and the guy told me 45 minutes. Which is fine. It was dinner time. I get there, foods ice cold. There's 3 people in there. I tell the guy it's cold, and I don't want cold food. Guy rolls his eyes, not an apology, not a nothing. Takes it and throws it out and says "ok bye". I used to come here weekly I def won't be back. Thanks for having me and my kids wait 45 minutes to throw away the food. Way to waste time and inventory. What a jerk lmao read more

I came here on 1/30/21 with friends around 1:45pm. We only came here to have a drink or two. We had just ate at M'Coul's. One friend got a Red Oak beer. One for a Stella Artois. Myself, and two friends got a lemon drop. It was $13 for two. One of the friends who got the lemon drop thought it was really good. I thought it was okay. It tasted too much like juice and not enough of the alcohol. It was pretty empty while we were here. They have outdoor seatings. The ambiance was good. The music wasn't too loud and just right. I enjoyed the songs and actually knew them! We were signing along. GPD was starting to show up outside and we didn't know. The bartender stated that there is anticipation of a protest for a man killed by GPD in 2018! Covid wise, masks are required. The bartender was wearing one. They have hand sanitizer by the door. Tables are socially distanced. Uodate: I went to Natty Greene's following this visit and their lemon drop shots are MUCH better! read more

I checked out this place for the night scene on a Saturday. I was looking for good music and some dance action. I got there around 10:45 pm. This is small place with good vibes, excellent bartenders and fun music. Definitely thinking about going back. Parking is a little tricky and you have to walk a little but it's not too far. read more

An enjoyable meal! After reading some reviews, I felt compelled to write. I had the Onion & cheddar burger, with fries. The server was prompt to our table when we came in, took our drink order, which came promptly. when the rest of the party arrived the server was back.She took our food order and the meal arrived in a reasonable time. My burger was just right, the fries were a little darker than Mickey D's but they were really quite tasty. All in all, it was an enjoyable meal, good food & fun people watching in the front window. read more

Horrible place the bouncer took my real ID that says I'm 21 because I'm not African American but let my friends who is under the age of 21 and told him because he is a brother. He tried to charge me $100 for my Id, but I got the police to give it back. read more

We went in Friday and had diarrhea and vomiting the remainder of the weekend and barely held it together for work on Monday- I will never return. We started out loving this place for the food only but they get really weird when you bring you bring your kids so #1 it is NOT kid friendly and the quality of food is slipping. The last time we dined in the live music was good but the service was low quality- the waitress was inattentive and seemed sneaky- well we found out the next day what was so weird- we were SICK from food poisoning!!! read more

My spouse and I recently stopped by Grey's Tavern after a long morning and was directed to sit wherever we liked. We found a high-top table and ordered a couple of sodas. I was excited to try the food. I opted for a chili dog and side of fruit. I remarked to my husband that the chili dog had some of the best chili I'd had in a long time, so kudos on that achievement! It was seriously flavorful and when combined with the dog, it was excellent. My side of fruit was pretty large, which is rare for most restaurants these days. The pineapple, apple slices, sliced orange, and grapes gave me a boost of energy that helped me get through my day! My husband had a Reuben that he described as "very good." The ambiance was relaxed with TVs going and music playing. A few people were being served at the bar and we enjoyed -people-watching through the large front window. We look forward to a return to Grey's Tavern soon! read more

I have been coming to Grey's every now and again since I was 17! I love how homey it always feels. I was so happy to introduce my guy to this awesome place. There is a huge welcoming bar in the center and a few tables to sit at if you'd prefer. Everyone is always so friendly and willing to chat during lunch. At night time it's filled with music and people having a great time! On this occasion we had lunch! A Cheese Steak with fries and the Chicken Sandwich with Buffalo sauce. Both were delicious and we will most definitely be making this a monthly tradition! read more

I had the pleasure to go here a month or so ago (March madness was in town) and met up with an old pal. Went during the day, around lunch. We shared the wings and both had sandwiches. I enjoyed this place more than next door. Additionally, there was only one girl serving and bartending (maybe 30 yrs old). She did great! There were likely around 25 people in the restaurant and she was able to effectively serve and accommodate everyone. read more

The bouncers are extremely unprofessional and rude. I had been there multiple times before without any issues. Went in this past weekend and they were aggressive for no reason at all. They also threw things at myself and friends after we had walked out the door and weren't on their property anymore. They cause more problems than help. After our experience I learned this is not an uncommon experience for a lot of people who have gone here. Save yourself a ridiculous cover charge and go to any other bar in Greensboro. read more

ON February 26,2022 This was are first coming here because we was going to see the Lion King Show at 8:00, well we got there 6:56 pm and we kinda press for time, but the bartender took are order we paid right there and before 7:30 they had are food ready. It was pack that night,They had only 2 people working the floor I was OMG, but I just wanted you to know the 2 woman did Amazing job. The food was delicious.Thank YOU Thank You. read more

Honestly- pretty awful. There are so much better options to eat at. I do not recommend coming here at all. I've heard many awful stories (from reviews) of experiences people had and they didn't happens to me, but as a restaurant pretty awful. Starting off, the service is fine- the waitress we had was nice, and that's where the food stuff ends. I was given a cup with VISIBLE lipstick stains, and chose not to use a straw... for the environment. I only slightly regret it, but they should've washed instead of rinsed the cup. The waitress made a joke to brush it over (it's not her fault at all, unless she washes the dishes) but lipstick contains lots of oils, and soap breaks that surface tension, which is why it's a cleaning agent. That leads me to believe they are very negligent in cleaning dishes/cups or just don't use soap at all. I forgot what I got, but it was a burger that was good... at first, but when I finished it I realized there was nothing to be desired. It sounds very strange typing it, but it wasn't good even though I finished it. It was overly greasy and just like a filler. For example, if you were given plain rice or noodles and you ate it, you wouldn't be going back for more- you'd just be full (in a bad way). Another problem with this establishment is their extreme lack of vegetarian options. I believe there was approximately... 2? For the sake of my friend, I genuinely hope they food isn't pre-assembled, because she had to ask for the meat to be removed. The last thing is the bathroom is genuinely awful. In conclusion- don't go here... or maybe do, and regret it. I really don't understand the positive reviews on this. Just a tip- always go to places with 4 stars and up, because 3 stars usually means there's a considerable amount to think about. Also, looking at the bad reviews, it may seem nit picky about what they're calling out, but it's because there are so many bad things it just built to a awful experience. I didn't care about the reviews when I read them but I regret spending my time and money here. read more

Can only speak for the nightlife aspect, but we had a decent time here. The place gets PACKED on the weekends though, so recommend you come early. I think they even had a cover at a certain point, so come early to avoid that. Kind of tough to get to the bar because of how packed it gets, so you probably will only want one friend going up to grab your group drinks all night. read more

Quick service, attractive wooden bar with TVs playing ESPN, what's nice is at lunch it's fairly quiet. But for the price? The burgers can't be beat. Delicious, simple recipe that nails every ingredient on the sandwich, and the price would be worthwhile for the portion $3 or $4 per sandwich higher. They have loyal customers every time I come in, and I'm sure it's because the prices are fairly low, but the quality of food merits higher. Became a no-brainer stop even surrounded by other restaurants on Elm. read more

It had been awhile since we'd been to this downtown Gboro grill and watering hole, but when I realized they now had cooked-in-house pulled pork on the menu, we stopped in for lunch - you gotta follow the barbecue trail, wherever it leads. Have always loved the burgers and the hand cut FF, but the pulled pork was new meat, indeed. The pulled pork here begins with a Boston Butt, which is slow cooked overnight, until very tender, then shredded. The meat is very tender, fairly moist, but with no hint of smokiness - and, of course, cooked this way it wouldn't unless you throw in some hickory smoke, which always makes the taste artificial. The meat comes out on a large Kaiser type roll, and it basically is unsauced. Thet offer a vinegar based Eastern NC style sauce, but there is little heat to it - I found a nice dose of commercial hot sauce did a lot to correct that. The slaw is coarsely chopped - more sliced actually, probably with a food processor using a circulat blade attachment. The slaw has a lttle carrot in it, and is fairly dry, no mayo base here. All in all, this is not a bad choice - not strictly traditional NC barbecue, but quite nice in it own right, once doctored a little. The burgers remain excellent & large; the FF are among the best in town (hand cut with skin on), while the potato salad is decent - would be great if they used sour pickles, instead of sweet - personal preference, there. They also offer a hot dog, and what was interesting to me was that one version is with a "ripped" wiener - which means it is deep fried to the point that the outer skin actually rips in places - this is a popular way of cooking weiner in NJ (Rutt's Hut in Clifton), and some other spots in the NE. They use a 1/4 lb all beef weiner here, and though it is, indeed, deep fried, it does not come out ripped. Chili is a little thin, and lacks any zing - nice to try, but no repeat here. Service is excellent (at least at lunch) and always friendly. We have just been in for lunch - we don't do much in downtown Greensboro at night, parking on side streets, and dodging young inebriates is not something I really embrace as an entertaining evening. Like most of the food items here - We'll be back - at least for lunch. read more

Consistent food quality and a staff that is always welcoming. Good selection of liquor, beer, and daily specials!

This seems to me like a sort of hidden tucked away downtown gem! -- it could just me be though, I've never really noticed this restaurant, as it's kind of tucked behind a larger downtown bar/restaurant! Anyway, I went there with a couple friends to have a midday meeting of the kinds.... I didn't intend on ordering any food until I saw their fresh cut fries!!! i ordered the fries and my friends ordered a pita and some sliders!! Both of which looked delicious!! My friends said this also tasted great! The atmosphere was chill, and the service was friendly! I will most certainly be back! read more

With so many downtown dining options and a more prominent pub (Natty Greene's) right next door, Grey's is easy to overlook. But if ever you should want a break from the bustle (and the inflated prices) of downtown dining, this low-key spot is worth considering if you aren't in a hurry. Grey's is nothing fancy, but the décor - worn wood, old brick, and lots of TVs - suits its ambition. This is a classic bar/pub/tavern, no more and no less. Accordingly, the menu is somewhat limited, but what they do offer here, they prepare competently if unspectacularly. I opted for a fried chicken sandwich my first time out. Though the breading was very crisp, the meat thankfully remained moist. The sauce (orange ginger?) proved to be a touch too sweet, but there were plenty of other sauce options available. The coleslaw here is finely chopped and none too vinegary. Only the fries were a real standout: thick, hand-cut, nicely browned, and well-salted. Servers seemed amicable enough, but the kitchen was decidedly slow-footed. Our group of five may have been the only patrons at one point, but you wouldn't have known it from the time it took for our food to arrive. On the other hand, Grey's pricing is favorable for a downtown location. Sandwiches and sides can be yours for south of $10. With a convenient location, reasonable pricing, and good-enough food, Grey's is a decent option for a casual bite to eat. There is room for improvement on several fronts, but Grey's does spare you some of the headaches (crowding, expense, pretension, etc.) that occasionally mar downtown dining. read more

As soon as I walked in, I got a stare from two of the waitresses or bar tenders that pissed me off. They looked at me and my two other friends like I was trash and like I was coming in just to sit. But as soon as I sat down, they continued to stare-- no smile or anything and waited approximately 3 minutes before one of them came over laid the menus down and said, "what do y'all want to drink?" I immediately was thrown off. Now, I don't know if we got these weird vibes because we are a diverse set of people or because it was just increasingly hot, but I hope it's the latter. NOW ON TO THE FOOD. My friend got the chicken tenders & I got the chicken salad sandwich. My go to, when I'm tired of burgers. She said her tenders were great and when I tried them.. I was like eh... They're okay... They honestly tasted like red river grill's chicken tenders to me. My sandwich had hard to chew bread but the chicken salad was good. The bread threw it all off and I ended up just eating the chicken salad by itself. We both got the fries and honestly, I didn't like them. Mine were overcooked and burnt. The service? Not so good. The food? Mediocre. Maybe it was a bad day??? But bad day or not, I don't plan on coming back. read more

bartenders are completely unprofessional and up charge for no reason on top of demanding for a tip. which tips are optional not a requirement, especially when service is horrible and they purposely wait forever to serve you. no wonder why the place stays dead all the time. last time coming here as it's only my second time coming and both times the bartenders were just straight up rude. get better bartenders and maybe the business will be better. only reason i'm giving even a star in general is for the dj. he's cool. read more

Service excellent even with one person serving everyone on a busy Saturday. Love the food....really good! One suggestion though. We ordered cheese/bacon fries....yummy! They piled them on a thin wax paper then melted the cheese. You could not get it off the paper off the cheese and fries so we had to leave most of it stuck to the paper. Consider no paper, it ruined the dish. read more

Friendly staff, great food, and quick service. This was my first time eating there but they definitely won me over. I ordered a burger with fries and some wings.

Can't go higher than a 3 sadly after having high hopes. Normally I would document what we had and the good or bad of each, but this was simply disappointing across the board. All of the dishes we ordered in our party for 6 were uninspired, bland and presented without any imagination. The 3 rating is based more on the fact that the staff was friendly, not on the food. #Bummer! read more

Nice upscale type of bar conveniently located next to a micro brewery gotta love that! Lot's of tv's playing basketball big circular bar with local beers on tap and some pulled pork on the menu! Flying into Greensboro on a Sunday all the main BBQ joints are closed but don't fret you can still come to Grey's and get Pulled Pork and Chocolate Peanut Butter Stout called Sweet Baby Jesus! If your going to close all the good bbq joints on Sunday at least I still got Sweet Baby Jesus on my side. The pulled pork sandwich came out and was served with slaw and the vinegar based BBQ I wanted to get into, it's a clear sauce east carolina style I'll be getting into more of that someday and more of that chocolate peanut butter beer so help me Sweet Baby Jesus! read more
