The main courses are flavored to perfection and there are plenty of healthy sides. Our server, Heather was tops!

The "home of the $8 meal" Their prices are a huge bonus. The customer service is amazing (they greet customers by name #winning) and incredibly fast. Special shout-out to Tamia working the front counter. She worked to resolve a customer issue with absolute CLASS. It made me so proud to see a young, black woman handle conflict (or give correction) without humiliating another and making it an issue for everyone in the restaurant. A real BOSS!

Just for a meal or for a feast they will prepare you the best "soul food" you have eaten. I have always picked up mine to go so I don't know if there is indoor dining but I promise you the it will be the longest ride home you have ever taken--without sampling! I haven't tried breakfast but that is my next indulgence. It's easily located and plenty of parking. Stop in, have a meal for 1 or 20 and look for an easy chair to relax in afterwards. If there is ever a book written about soul food in Albany, Ga it's title will be Dorethalicious!

I wanted soul food today. Just my luck The Grille House was just across the street from my hotel. I…read morewalked in just before 5pm and it was almost empty. Just perfect. My server was Tera. Friendly and helpful. I knew that I wanted the catfish but not sure of the sides. Tera went over every side for me. I settled on candid yams. As I waited for my catfish to be cooked, I looked over all the jersey memorabilia they had from various sports teams and fraternities. This place gets super busy I was told. Thursday nights they have karaoke starting at 5pm. My catfish order came out. It had buttery grilled toast as a side, topped with lettuce and tomatoes. I'm a southern girl, I only needed the Fish and bread. The fish was perfectly season. All I needed to add was some hot sauce. OH My Gosh- Delish As I say enjoying my meal, old school R&B was playing. I truly enjoyed the serenity of my dinner. I'll definitely be back when I'm in Albany GA in the near future.

The cooks, although I didn't get their names, my food was perfect, the pork chop, collard greens (bam)! I saw reviews about the french fry because they are cut and frozen. But the cooks knew how to season them perfectly. I don't know if it was the southern charm, or the southern hospitality of the staff, the DJ and the patrons, but we could not have picked a better place to celebrate this monumental quest. I'm so glad we made new friends. I WOULD RECOMMEND
