The service was fantastic!! The food was a 10 star rating... Black and Bleu salad with fried chicken and bleu cheese dressing was an explosion of flavor in EVERY bite! Swiss mushroom burger was the best EVER! Delicious!!! It was our first visit from California but it definitely won't be the last. We're already looking forward to our next visit/meals! read more

The food was outstanding as was the service and the atmosphere... Wishing it were a little bit larger of an establishment, but it is starting to be a wonderful place for Decatur, visitors and residence alike!!! read more

Good place for dinner and drinks, only note would be anything we ordered that was fried came out a little soggy like the okra and green tomatoes. But they've got unique and fun menu options and drinks are great, indoor and outdoor seating available too. read more

Came here for a late lunch today and had a very positive experience. Nestled in downtown Decatur, this restaurant is kind of small but it's cozy and the vibe is very welcoming. They weren't super busy but I didn't expect a large lunch crowd at 1:30 on a Thursday and hey, just means faster food and service for me! They have a fairly simple but thoughtful menu with lots of American favorites -- think burgers, sandwiches, steaks and chicken. As a result of their more steak-oriented dinner menu, they also have a few more upscale / less fried options as sides like asparagus or broccoli if that's more your speed. I went with the Buffalo chicken wrap and French fries, with a sweet tea to drink. Overall, I was quite pleased with my meal. The sweet tea was delicious, and I was especially thirsty, so that was a huge plus! The French fry portion looked a little small at first but I was plenty full by the time I finished. The fries themselves were crisp, very hot, and the sprinkle of peppery seasoning gave them a little extra pizazz. The cup of ranch I got for dipping was great ranch, too. The wrap was nicely griddled, with lots of crispy chicken. It actually had some heat to it, too -- which I enjoyed (and I was doubly glad for the good ranch, lol!). The lettuce inside was maybe a little anemic, but honestly I didn't order the wrap to eat lettuce, so whatever, right? Haha. My food was certainly enjoyable, but the real reason behind my 5 star rating has to be the service. Call me dramatic...but it was like, fine dining level of good service + some extra on top. I never caught her name, but my waitress was a taller woman with bright blonde hair and blue eyes and she was working at 1:30 today (Thursday, February 1). I think her daughter was seated at a table and coloring quietly for a few minutes early in my visit. If the owner happens to see this...please know you have a true gem on your team. To start, she was great for just me. Always prompt with a refill (and I needed several), brought ketchup without me even having to ask, knew intuitively when I was ready to order and when I was ready for my check, brought me a to-go drink because she remembered I laughed and apologized over how thirsty I was, and just made me feel right at home and very welcome. But even more important than that, she showed true and genuine kindness to multiple guests, going above and beyond the call of duty. A few minutes after I sat down, an elderly gentleman came in, seeming confused and a little worried. He was looking for directions on how to get to the social security office. He had the address and knew it was nearby but didn't know how to get there. My waitress spoke with him at length and tried to explain directions she pulled up on her phone. When that didn't seem to help enough, she painstakingly wrote the directions down for him, step by step, on a piece of paper -- Mapquest style! This seemed to help him a lot, and he left smiling and visibly relieved. And THEN, toward the end of my visit, two gentlemen sat down behind me. When she came to their table, it became clear quickly that English was their second language. Nevertheless, she took extra care in ensuring they were taken care of just as meticulously and carefully as they deserved: making recommendations, asking thoughtful questions for clarification, etc. Make no mistake: everyone deserves to be treated with the level of dignity and respect she gave to these other guests. But it would have been beyond easy to shrug them off or get away with giving them minimal care or attention. She didn't, though, and her care really did move me. Kindness matters more than anything, and she was truly kind. So kudos, Bank Street Grill, and biggest kudos to your waitress who was working today! Her good deeds did not go unnoticed. read more

Food was good, service was good, atmosphere was a little dead for a Saturday, but the ambiance is nice. Will come back. I got the ribeye. Market price was $36. It was cooked and seasoned nicely. Big baked potato: needed more butter sour cream than what came on it. Added the homemade bleu cheese dressing to it that came with my buffalo fried okra. That okra was delicious, crunchy, spicy. The homemade bleu was also delicious. Side salad was simple and decent. Wife's grilled chicken wrap and onion rings were delicious. She was more than satisfied. I saw more than a few of those coming out of the kitchen. To top it off $3 16 oz cans of PBR. Nice! We'll come back..but I'll eat cheaper next time. read more

Atmosphere is nice and quaint. Nice looking place. Came in and tried the burger and fries. Had it plain so as to not be moved by anything. It is a homemade burger but found to not be anything special and quite dry. Which leads me to wonder is not precooked some. Fries were good and it was ok. Was looking and hoping for a WOW place. Will be here all summer . read more

Excellent Sandwiches and plenty of good options. The atmosphere is really cool and the service was great! This is a great business lunch stop for anyone in the Decatur, AL area. I highly recommend this for lunch! read more

I Stopped in for dinner tonight while traveling for work and was thoroughly impressed. The downtown Decatur area is very cool, just feels quaint and nice. Great decor inside as well. I started with the cheese curds which had jalapeños and were good. The real winner of the night was the Hot Pepper burger. It was a burger with cream cheese and a perfect pepper jelly on the buns. Just fabulous. Definitely worth the return trip. Wish I had gotten a pic of the great burger and Brussel Sprouts. The service was great start to finish as well. read more

You can tell when owners are passionate about their food. This was my second time, here last time I came I had the reuben rolls and a blue cheese house salad. Today I came in with my boyfriend for dinner. Since I loved the reuben rolls so much the first time we ordered them again to split. They were as good as the first time. For my main I got the mushroom burger with a blue cheese house salad. This burger was one of the juiciest burgers I have ever eaten. The quality of the burger rings through. The beef is house ground, a mix of ribeye, filet and chuck, this makes it super flavorful. I have been here twice and know I will be adding this to the list of local places we frequent. The ambiance is cozy and chill, the food delectable and the service is fantastic. Support local for sure. read more

I like Bank St. Grill. I know that the Customer Service always treats us well even with requests asking for certain seating arrangements. The food is delicious and the best pork chop I've had in a long while. Compared to other restaurants in the area, the meal quality along with great customer service sets this restaurant apart. read more

This was great. Good sandwiches and friendly service. Will go back to try other menu items.

Met a colleague in Decatur for a short meeting. Was looking for a local spot to grab a steak and a cocktail. Bank Street popped up as a top choice on Yelp. It is a cool place in an old downtown building. It is not a large place, and it seemed to be a favorite among the locals. I had a steak, my colleague had the Tuna, and we both chose an Old Fashion. The service was crisp, but not pesky. You'd do well to try this place. read more

Great food and service. friendly small-town atmosphere. Highly recommended! Fried green tomatoes were superb. They let us sample the special chili before we selected it. read more

Had an amazing meal there. Took a friend for his birthday and was surprised to find this gem. Incredible place with unbelievable food. The taste and quality of food was unreal. Had fried okra and green tomato appetizer. Had the jelly burger that was incredible with tots. My wife had the salmon steak that was some of the best I have ever tasted. Will be back. If you have never been, you owe yourself an opportunity to go. Even the sweet tea was good. read more

This was a great place for dinner and for local food in Decatur. Wasn't crowded at dinner time so the wait was short and service was quick. Wanted something lite for this day having eaten kind of heavy earlier, found that they had a shrimp wrap and order sweet potato fries with the wrap. All in all I enjoyed to meal and I could have walked from my hotel which I will do next time in town when working this area. read more

Was in Decatur for Business travel. Picked up some food to go. Ruben roll appetizers, and french fries with chili. All very good. Did Ash waitress to put the chili on the side and they did not I smothered the fries and chili. They were a little soggy when I go back to my hotel but still pretty good. Recommend this place. The only problem and the only reason I didn't give them five stars they don't open till 5 PM. read more

We have eaten here three times and have been disappointed on each occasion so I thought I'd leave a review. The food and drinks are overpriced for what they are. We ordered bacon cheeseburgers and they were overcooked, slightly burnt, falling apart, and unseasoned. They also used shredded cheese, which was disgusting, as well as a spring salad mix for the lettuce, which was also gross. It was like they were trying to force certain food items to be multi purpose, when they are not able to be. Their drink menu was fine, but did not list any prices or brands, so when I ordered a glass of wine I had no idea what I was getting. After doing the math, they were charging quite a lot for what I can only say was a glass of house wine. Their menu also had "market price" listed by their steaks versus standard prices listed by their seafood. I have never seen this. It's usually the opposite. Makes me think the seafood isn't fresh. read more

I noticed a lot of the reviews are from years ago so let me start by saying they are under new ownership! Let me also preface this by saying this was my first time eating at this restaurant. I met the owners while dinning and they were a really nice married couple who you can tell have a lot of knowledge for the restaurant business. You can also tell they just want customers to be comfortable and enjoy their time in their establishment. I ended up getting a bacon cheeseburger (I know basic) and it was honestly a pretty solid burger, I would definitely get it again. The only bad thing I experienced was the poorly made cocktail I was given, it tasted like water and vodka with a splash of orange juice (maybe). I even sent it back and it still came back gross so when it comes to alcoholic beverages here stick to beer, wine, or a mixed drink that consist of two ingredients. Overall, this is a good place to grab lunch or dinner. I do hope the new owners do well with this place! read more

The steak was cooked perfectly and the sautéed mushrooms were delicious. However, the mashed potatoes were lukewarm and didn't have much flavor. We also ordered an asian fried shrimp appetizer and it was pretty bad. It tasted like frozen popcorn shrimp with a store-bought asian sauce. We finished our meal with the molten chocolate lava cake and it was, unfortunately, bland and tasted like boxed cake mix. I'm not sure how to describe it but it was missing that delicious, moist touch that a good cake needs to have. It was just blah. I'm not sure how to feel about this place. If you decide to eat here, I'd say skip the mashed potatoes, skip the shrimp appetizer, and skip the lava cake. read more

I doubt we will dine here again. The food was so so, not bad but nothing to write home about. We ordered the loaded potato soup with a grilled cheese, the Ruben rolls, and a grilled chicken sandwich with a side of mac and cheese. The Ruben rolls were the best of dishes we had. The potato soup was disappointing. It had a chunk of uncooked potato in it and the flavor was so so. I wouldn't order the mac and cheese, I just wouldn't. The grilled chicken sandwich was ok. The server was polite, very apologetic for the very long wait for our meal, she kept the drinks filled, and you could tell she was trying. The overall atmosphere was nice. We left before the live music started. This place is getting two stars because the food was ok, the server was polite, and they offer live music. I do want to point out that including us, there was maybe 12 people dining. We were told, they only had one cook and the large party (maybe 6 to 8 people) was missing something and once they got their food we would be next. It took about 45mins for us to get our food after we ordered and the order was incorrect. We were now the table missing something. I hope they can pull it together. read more

Nice treat to have a new place to dine when I visit my parents. The staff are very nice and helpful. The dining area is clean and quaint with some old photos of Decatur, like one of the old pool in front of Decatur high. The menu has lots of options for all types of tastes. The tuna app is enough to share and was great! I had the filet, which was tasty and very reasonably priced. The dish that stole the show was the sea bass. My mom had it prepared blackened and it was a healthy portion of fish and the taste and texture was phenomenal. If you're downtown and haven't tried it do yourself a favor and stop in for a meal. The owner Scott was very personable and appreciated us dining there. read more
