We enjoy eating at the grill. It has a small town, welcoming atmosphere. The waitress are generally kind and efficient. They have a good selection of sandwiches and salads. My husband usually orders the Patty Melt or Club. I ordered the ruebin. The only negative is the hour of operations. 11:30-2:30 and 5-8:30. read more

Food is awesome. Staff is friendly and very attentive. Great downtown Newberry location. Would definitely recommend.

This cozy place has the best food . It's so nice to have an open space to relax and enjoy good food and drinks. The staff is amazing too. Try the cheeseburger and fries and the ice tea. The club sandwich is good too. read more

Horrible service, the waitress had an attitude the whole time and it took them over 50 minutes to make a burger and a sandwich. I do not recommend this restaurant unless you want to waste your time for an hour just to eat for 10 minutes. read more

Eat here! Visiting from out of town and found this little gem. Seat yourself and await the kindest service. Had the most delicious Reuben sandwich, hubby enjoyed his burger and the boy loved the tenders. We all devoured the fried pickles. Luziana Ice Tea is so good! There is so much history in this place like old pictures from 1865 of Newberry College. read more

Came to Newberry for a concert at the Newberry Opera House one of favorite venues. Tried the Grille on Main. Had a wonderful lunch. Wife and I had the grilled chicken salad. She said the honey mustard dressing was the best. It was so good we returned for dinner. She had the lemon salmon which she said was perfectly grilled. I had another salad which sounds crazy it was also perfect. Great service from both servers. Only regret is they don't take reservations. Lunch server told us to get there @5:30 because they get full on Saturday. Food came out promptly. Highly recommend. read more

It saddens me to give Grille On Main a bad review. I ate there when they first opened (actually had breakfast there a few times. I still visit them occasionally wile I'm in Newberry. My wife and I met there because we really wanted fried pickles, and they were delicious. Things went downhill when we got our Cheeseburger and Fries. The Burger was so overcooked that it was hard. It also had no flavor. The Fries tasted like they were frozen and microwaved. Finally the Cole Slaw tasted like it was straight out of a can. I have to say that I've had their burgers before, several times in fact. They were never on par with Summers or Five Guys but they were decent. This last burger wasn't even as good as Hardee's. Like I said, the pickles were great. I have always enjoyed their Club Sandwich so maybe I will get that next time (if there is a next time). read more

Great friendly service. Really accommodating. Food well prepared & good. A nice hometown restaurant with a staff that went out of their way to accommodate our grandchildren. It's definitely worth the visit! read more

Well this place is highly recommended but sadly understaffed. I don't blame the servers at all! Only 2 people bussing/waiting on all the patrons on a Saturday evening. The food was okay. My burger was slightly overdone and it did not come with all the listed toppings and fries were kind of cold(no salt on them). The country fried steak also slightly overdone but good enough. Took some time to get food but that's all probably because they're short staffed. I'd maybe give it another shot. read more

Walked in shortly before closing. I felt bad that I was that guy, but they could not have been nicer. Great chicken parm. Just enough food, not too much but for the price, that was amazing. Thanks for a nice dinner. read more

Service was below average. Food was average and not special or memorable. Take it or leave it. read more

Awesome service , food and great atmosphere. Would recommend stopping in for lunch or dinner . read more

Came here on a Saturday night and it was super crowded. But the staff worked their butts off and we all got served. Food was really delicious! I especially enjoyed the salmon. Decent beer list. read more

A Friday night after 7, all tables filled except 2 that seemed too close to others so we chose to sit at bar which was empty. Friendly staff but would have felt more comfortable to see sanitizers out, less stools and an attempt to wipe down counter as we pulled up. Food order took too long, Side salad was fresh, mozzarella sticks ok but my partners country fried steak was awful w soggy rice. read more

This place is awesome! I came here in a few group a while ago and we had a very pleasant experience. Their grilled chicken wrap is really good. Also our waitress was awesome, very accommodating--- I didn't catch her name but she was shorter and had dark brown/black hair. Thank you! read more

Overall the atmosphere here made the place. This is a small town setting and this was a small town restaurant. The people were very friendly and the place had a very historic feel. The staff was accommodating and welcoming. However, the meals could have used some work. I had the chicken fingers, my wife the salmon special and my son had the chicken parmigiana. Of all the meals, my son's looked the best and seemed to be the best value. My wife's meal came with white rice and her comment was she would have preferred something more like a long grain rice. She did find the salmon well prepared. My meal I would say could have used the most work. The chicken fingers seemed liked frozen ones you might get off the kiddie menu. The fries were nothing special. I was hoping for fresh made chicken fingers with some hand cut fries. If I were to return I would get the chicken parmigiana. read more

We come here very often! We love the food and the staff is always so kind and attentive! We always love looking at the historic photos, etc. around in the dining area. The prices are not expensive compared to other restaurants in that area but are moderate. If you are seeing a show at the Opera House, this is the place to go! read more

Warm and friendly people, nice atmosphere, hubby had a burger with fries. I had the chicken on a tomato wrap with onion rings Both were good, no left overs Would stop again coming this way Cute little town read more

Nice little place to stop in for a bite to eat, they actually close between lunch and dinner- and we didn't realize until AFTER we had ordered, (sorry staff!). The food was good, the tomato basil chicken wrap is delicious, I wish it was just a tad larger, it was so good i'd have loved a bit more. The serving sizes are smaller than many places, but it was just lunch. The offer several bottled beers and wine choices, no hard stuff. read more

The Grille On Main - American Near Me - Newberry, South Carolina

This place is an average place for lunch at a decent price point. We were in on a Saturday, during a Newberry event, causing it to be really busy which might explain the less than stellar service. Not bad service, just a little slow. My blackened chicken wrap with grilled onions and peppers was good albeit a little spicy (I can do lite to medium lite Thai spice). My onion rings were greasy, but the kids French fries were perfectly crispy and not greasy. read more

This is the best place in town for a club sandwich. We usually get it to go and don't have any problems. Always fresh and tasty!

Staying downtown and wanted to support the local restaurants vs. the big chains. Called in my to-go order and it took approximately 5 minutes for the cashier to come back to the phone and take my order. Coming in, I could see why as the place was packed with locals. Ordered the Smothered Chicken Breast and was disappointed in the lack of tenderness. The plastic fork that came with the to-go order was not strong enough to last sawing thru this meat to come up with a bite size portion. Hopefully, this was a one off and may or may not try this establishment my next visit. Staff was extremely pleasant and hustling to keep the crowd happy. read more

Short, safe walk to the Opera House. The food is very good, reasonably priced and the atmosphere reminds me of a small town family run business. 4.5 stars... read more

Absolute dogsh!t service waited for 20 min just for a menu and after ordering we had to get them to go because we waited another 45min. Only to get a $10 Ruben with one single slice of corned beef. Horrible place to dine, horrible just horrible read more

The Grille On Main - Absolute dogsh!t this is a $10 Ruben with one single slice of corned beef. Horrible place to dine, horrible just horrible - American Near Me - Newberry, South Carolina

Very quaint location near our hotel. Staff was friendly and open to answering questions on the menu and history of the town. Food was good too! Restaurant closed at 2 after lunch and reopened at 5 for dinner. They didn't rush us but we felt like we should wrap up lunch, as we were last there. We will return. It was recommended to not try the Philly Cheese Steak so we had Club sandwiches, grilled wraps, and BLT. Everyone enjoyed their selections. read more

The food was good especially the hamburger! My husband said it was one of the best he has eaten in a long time. I had wings and give it 4 out of 5. Overly messy but good to taste. The service was good as well. We will be back whenever I make it back to town. I recommend it. read more

I specifically went to Newberry today so I could eat at The Grill. I seated myself and the waitress brought me a menu and then my drink. Then didn't come back. She took the orders from two other tables that came in after me, then cleaned a third table, and bussed a fourth. Now the place wasn't full and I saw no food come out to any tables while I waited. In fact the Owner came and sat with other customers. I finally left money for my drink, got up, grabbed my things, then the Waitress walked up! If you are going to ignore me I will go eat somewhere else. Not going back to The Grill again. read more

This place served me the best burger I have had since being in SC! Can't wait until I'm craving a burger again because I'll be headed here! My hubby had the country fried steak and he said it was delicious too! read more

Our first time here and it was SUPERB! The vegetable soup as an appetizer was just like my Granny's. I had the philly cheesesteak and, unlike other restaurants, it actually had more meat than bread. My husband had shrimp and scallops and said they were delicious, and he was pleased with the fluffiness of his baked potato. We will definitely be back! read more

Wife and I stopped in for lunch on a whim and were not disappointed. Great friendly service. Patty melt was perfect.

Over priced for what you get. I could have cooked this at home for a lot less money. Had surf and turf shrimp. They ran out of oysters. Three shrimp with the steak. read more

I've eaten here a handful of times over the last few weeks and have been generally underwhelmed by the food and service but tonight's experience was so bad I won't be back. read more

Excellent home style cooking and friendly service. I had a very good hamburger steak with onions & mushrooms. Wife had a huge grilled chicken salad. Top notch local restaurant. read more

My wife and I had eaten here before, and it was OK ... so we thought we'd try again for dinner. We arrived at about 5:10 pm last Friday and were promptly seated. The waitress gave us our menus and utensils and took our drink orders. When she returned with the drinks, we ordered ... my wife a cheese steak and onion rings, and a bacon pimento cheeseburger and fries for me. Other folks started to arrive, were seated and, after not too long, their dinner orders arrived ... but not ours. Upon seeing this, and at about 5:35 pm, I asked our waitress about our order status. She went back to the kitchen and then returned to the table to confirm our order ... and she said that she had put it in but didn't know what had happened to it, and she left. My wife was facing the kitchen area, so she then saw the waitress come through the door and start rooting through the bagged take-out orders on a counter near the door. After a few seconds, the waitress picked up one of the bags and went into the kitchen ... and returned in a few minutes with our plated orders. The waitress, not knowing that my wife saw her at the take-out counter, said nothing except "sorry for the delay." My cheeseburger looked like it had been run over by a truck, and every layer in the burger was ice cold. Although my wife's cheese steak looked OK, it, too, had icicles dripping from it. So ... after sitting on the take-out counter for about 25 minutes, we were expected to eat these things. Uh ... NO! I told the waitress that we would be leaving and asked if I owed her anything for the two iced teas. Instead of answering, she got the manager and, after I told him that we saw what had happened, and that the entire meal preparation should have started from scratch instead of just putting the cold food on a plate, he agreed and said we owed them nothing ... and we left. Had he been a real manager, he would have had the meal re-made and only charged us for one. It'll be a long, long time before we return. read more

Great food! Ate here twice while in town on business! I highly recommend the pimento cheese burger. Wait staff is great, prices are way better than the other restaurants near by! read more

Love the country fried steak, good service every time I go. All the food is good. Would recommend!

The bar has a coffee area that appears to have spilled coffee stains, and unclean. The beer is not maintained at a proper temperature and has a green taste. Witnessed kitchen staff wiping down tables, bar, spills, and table scraps with the same cleaning cloth without sanitizing occasionally. Spaghetti marinara sauce tasted bland with hardly any flavor. Country fried steaks are tough to chew and overcooked. Salmon tastes frost bitten after it was cooked. Drinking glasses have a cloudy film that feels like stuck on grease to the touch. Utensils aren't completely clean with a greasy film on them as well. Overall, it was a very awful experience. Will not be returning. Additionally if there weren't any intellectual proprietary rights being broken, I would be more of assistance providing pictures on Yelp as a visual aid. read more

I got the taco salad this trip and was disappointed. No taste at all. Had to drown it in salsa.

Have eaten here countless times over the past 8+ years. This is a great lunch spot. Most recently dined last week. My faves are the grilled chicken salad and the chicken salad sandwich. I have a little girl who can easily select something from the reasonably priced children's menu. My hubby always enjoys the patty melt special. Most sandwiches are accompanied by fries or chips with a crisp pickle - which makes for a satisfying lunch. The restaurant is housed in a old building and contains many interesting items and pictures that tell the history of the town. The location can't be beat and the service was great, as it has always been. read more

Great affordable restaurant in downtown Newberry! I highly recommend the burgers - they are the best in town. I've visited the Grille on Main on several occasions. I've always had friendly service and great food. read more
