Me and my mother came here for Mother's Day and had a reservation booked for 8:00 AM. When we arrived, we were told the restaurant didn't even open until 9:00 AM. At that point, every other restaurant nearby was already fully booked, so we felt stuck and decided to wait. What made the situation worse was the manager's response. Instead of taking accountability, she blamed the scheduling app and told us they "might not be able" to seat us, but we wouldn't know until 9:00 AM. After we waited over an hour, she then started seating people with 9:00 and 9:30 reservations before the group of us who had already been waiting there since before opening. That made absolutely no sense. The people who had been inconvenienced by the restaurant's mistake should have been prioritized instead of brushed aside. The manager was argumentative, dismissive, and not apologetic at all. It honestly ruined what was supposed to be a special Mother's Day outing with my mom. To make matters worse, once we finally got seated, the food was subpar and the menu was nothing like what was advertised online. This is supposed to be a brunch place, yet the only breakfast-style option available that morning was barbecue shrimp and grits. Waiting over an hour for a completely different and lackluster menu was incredibly disappointing. Overall, the experience was disorganized, misleading, and poorly handled from start to finish. They seriously need to do better. Only giving it a two star because they are harder to remove than one star I would honestly give this place a zero read more

Return today and we shared Shrimp & Grits and Sweet Potato waffle without the caramel. Both dishes were delicious.

Nice intimate setting; Bernard Jr was our server and he was friendly and efficient. My daughter ordered 2 piece pressure fried chicken, sweet potatoes, greens and Mac and cheese she also had the fries potato wedges that they gave her complimentary ( she subbed Mac & cheese for fries) the only item that wasn't tasty was the sweet potatoes they were mushy and the molasses was so strong and over powering. By the way chef Jenard my daughter has an excellent recipe for sweet potatoes that she would like to share with you ; I had the chicken ceaser salad, very tasty except I wish the chicken was served warm on top with some large croutons. Anyway we plan to go back and try different dishes. Thanks for coming to grayson chef.. read more

Cornbread and Butter - This is the Cinnamon roll brunch waffle - Southern Near Me - Grayson, Georgia

As a fan of Chef Jernard's show, I was eager to try some of his creations. Unfortunately, my experience at Cornbread and Butter in Grayson on Saturday was very underwhelming. To start, the menu online was replaced by an opening weekend "limited" menu. Fine, but the process to post a new menu requires minimum effort. This is the type of minor - yet impactful - operational error I hope they can address going forward. We were the FIRST table seated after a computer outage delayed the opening. Our group ordered at 11:45am. We got a side of corn bread at 12:10pm. The first entree came to the table at 12:25pm...cold. It returned at 12:35pm. The second item came to the table 12:38pm. The last order came table at 12:40pm. At best, the dishes were average. Our server was polite, but clearly poorly trained. She took far to long to bring beverages or to acknowledge the significant delays. At one point it was clear that she was ignoring our table after sensing my frustration. The manager's excuse was that the waiter was "new". Given the fact that Saturday was only their second day open - EVERYONE, including the manager, was new. Additionally, the price points seemed excessive for a small Cafe in the suburbs. One might assume that the premium was associated with the Chef brand, and definitely not the food or service. I wish them luck and hope that they train their entire staff. read more

Cornbread and Butter - Southern Near Me - Grayson, Georgia

See all

Great food, great service, pleasant ambiance. We were a party of 3 and arrived at 6pm on a Thursday. We had no wait before seating. Our server, Makala, greeted us right away and made us feel welcome. After hearing her recommendations we ordered their specialty Collard Green Dip as an appetizer. It is delicious; a must-have. For entrees, we had the fried catfish, Korean BBQ short ribs, and Cajun Fried Fish. All three were delicious but the fried chicken far exceeded expectations -- sooooo good! For sides we had the fried okra, skillet corn, sweet potato souflee, peach & jalapeño cornbread and the Hoison green beans. Okay, all were excellent but the green beans take the win. The manager, Marquita, made a point of checking in on us and made sure everything was fantastic. We'll be back. Maybe next time we'll go when we can experience the brunch menu. We were advised to make reservations for the weekend. read more

This has to be one of the most unprofessional restaurants I ever visited. I witnessed an angry manger/head of HR try to belittle one of their employees. She attempted to hit the employee but was stopped by the chef. Head of HR had to be dragged out of the building by The chef! I then overheard the chef speaking to the head of HR saying that they were wrong, you did too much, you went to far, you shouldn't have tried to hit that girl, and I'm not about to lose my business because of you. I also heard him say to her to go sit in the truck and I'll handle the rest and try to de-escalate this situation that you have put us in. She refused The owner/chef instructions (That sounds like insubordination). They then proceeded to come back into the building. That's once I re-entered the building as well. The head of HR /the manager then attempted to try to speak with the employee that they just attempted to assault but was stopped. The employee was highly in distress and in fear for her safety and didn't wish to continue the conversation at that point in time. She asked to end the night and go home. The head of HR then proceeds to get upset once again and starts yelling at that person again and stating that this is your problem , this is insubordination. Once I heard that, I knew what bs the head of HR would try to pull. So if I was that employee I would go get a lawyer see what my next step is if fired because that was wrong. Once insubordination was brought up I knew that the head of HR/manager would try to fire the employee they attempted to assault. A place where you're trying to make a living and provide for your family shouldn't be a place where you have to worry about being assaulted or feeling unsafe. I'm so sorry you had to go through that, it's not right and I'm sorry for them. I wish you nothing but the best and I pray God watches over you and you never have to experience something like that again. As far as this establishment. This is unacceptable. This was absolutely terrible behavior and needs to be corrected and held accountable. The conversation once the chef took her outside was something I overheard personally. . I can't believe this happened or happens in an actual a place of business. The chef himself which is the owner doesn't seem like a bad man whatsoever, especially how he handled the situation. I truly believe he's a good man and a good businessman. I think he just doesn't have the best representation for himself as far as managerial positions and head of HR. This was completely handled wrong. Had this been another business with an actual HR department or union, that's there to help there employees when they have issues at work, this would have been a serious issue that could have resulted in reprimanded or termination of the manger/ head of HR that attempted to assault the employee. Not the employee possibly getting fired in retaliation. The food is OK, the service is pretty good, It's just how they treat their employees. I didn't like that whatsoever. It was very disgusting see that. This being a black owned establishment hurt even more being I always try to support black businesses but I can't support this one any more after this. I'm very very sad and disappointed! read more

Small spot so seating is at a premium. Still working out a few kinks but food was amazing. Will go back. Well worth the 1.5 hour drive to get there. read more

The service was great. The bartender made the absolute best drinks, but the food was horrible. The collard green deep tasted scorched and the hot honey chicken mac-n-cheese was a disaster. Maybe it was a rough night, but the cornbread wasn't even palatable, and that's the restaurant's name sake. I'd go back for the drinks, but that's it. read more

While wait staff was pleasant, overall service was poor. There were 5 in our party. It took a little more than an hour for one of us to get our food. 15 minutes later the second one of us got theirs (which was me). It took another 15 minutes for everyone else to finally get their meal. I ordered the Cast Iron Skillet Mac/Shrimp, provolone & cheddar cheese at $17/$24 (as shown on the online menu). When I received my order the waitress told me she had to "split it out" and it came in two seperate dishes. Mac was barely warm but tasted good. Shrimp was hot and also tasted good. I also ordered one lemonade, and my portion of the bill came to $41.95 before tax and tip!! Everyone else liked their food, but it would have been nice to have eaten together. read more

Welcome to Georgia! I expected nothing less. This food was amazing. I had the Great commission chicken sandwich. It was not a dried out breast, but a wonderfully season, crispy thigh. Staff was welcoming from the door. To make things even better, chef Jernard was in the kitchen but came out to take pictures with me and my guest. I only wish the space was bigger but I will definitely return soon. read more

Second time coming here and always greeted with do you have reservations, they frowned upon if you say no the establishment is way too small they do have sitting outside. It's kinda hard to say when and if you want to eat at a restaurant . However we been always seated. One thing I notice they do not mention anything about the gratuity added in there. The size portion have not been the same, first time I order okra. It came out a small order non shareable. Second time I ordered the okra. It came out a large order same price therefore we order two because of the small order the first time.which Cost 8.00 . A glass so small of Oj filled with ice was 4.50 insane. The salmon bites. I ordered again the first time they were big and fluffy and juicy this time. It came out and they were very small and dried out with a different sauce, Portion control is definitely important especially when you ordered it before expecting the same thing. I was going to send it back however I decided not to other than that. The establishment is really nice on the inside and have friendly staff. They just need to be a little bit more bubbly. Smile a little read more

Where should I start. This will be lengthy due to how poorly this experience has been. We sat down ordered the cornbread appetizer and dare I say it was a couple of small muffins. They were 2.50 each. With cornbread in your name, I would expect real cornbread with a beautiful presentation. Two muffins on a plate drizzled with honey that was advertised as honey butter (not even close). Our entree was 12 fried shrimp that had only 10 shrimp and yes, we counted. OVERCOOKED FRIED SHRIMP UNACCEPTABLE. Sweet potato souffle that had a pound of sugar per serving. NOT NECESSARY. I guess that is personal preference. Collard greens which I could not eat because they were full of meat. This was not stated on the menu. Creamed corn that simply not good. We have always agreed to give a new restaurant a second try, however that will never happen with Cornbread and Butter. I could not have been more disappointed with this place. Shame on you. Oh! I forgot to add we wanted to order cocktails, but the bartender had not arrived for the dinner hour. The waitress tells us she will let us know when they arrive. We told two people about our horrible experience and not a single person inquired and simply said we are sorry. Well, that sums it up. Good luck with your visit. This would be a zero-star if that was an option. read more
