I wanted soul food today. Just my luck The Grille House was just across the street from my hotel. I walked 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. read more

CONGRATULATIONS ED! 50th state, right here!!! We are @ the GRILLE HOUSE, celebrating with Kacie, Mika, Jasmone, Cynthia and DJ-BO, what a TEAM! 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 read more

This was my first time visiting Albany Georgia. We saw this place and had to stop in. It was such a great experience. We were greeted by Cynthia who I found out later was the owner and she invited us to sit at the bar and I am so glad we did. Cynthia made us great suggestions about the menu and even better suggestions about drinks. I had to try the bald headed ho shit (a drink on the menu) and it came with a great story. The drink was amazing and so was all the food we tried. Make sure to ask about how the name of the drink came about. I can't wait to go back and I do hope we get the pleasure of chatting with Cynthia again she made it such a fun experience. read more

A friend checked this spot out after a long walk. I always see it going through downtown Albany. They have a regular menu and soul food menu. Both went for the regular and got a single burger and fries. It was very fresh and tasty. Both the burger and fries. Service was great and fast. Also got our food fast too. It was very clean and nice inside. read more

The best soul food I've ever eaten!! Atmosphere was amazing with music and super clean. Service was exceptional. Cook to order everything fresh and delicious! Cynthia the owner and Brenda are so welcoming and showed us so much love We will definitely be back read more

We went to the Aquarium on Saturday and found this great restaurant. We all ordered different things. I had fried green tomatoes (so so yummy) and pulled pork sandwich with their sweet potato fries, just the best ever. My daughter had their nachos and they were really good and a huge serving. A friend had the shrimp, they are huge and really tasty, and also had their wings and said they were the best he had had. One had a hamburger another nachos and one the ribs and the ribs were to die for we were told. Honestly such a great find on a Saturday and we all enjoyed ourselves so much and we had the best waitress also. Just an all around amazing experience. read more

The Sunday soul food menu is Delicious! The food is fresh and the staff were very friendly. The hostess Brenda was very welcoming and helpful and we were fortunate to get to meet the owner Cynthia. We will definitely be back! read more

This spot is a GEM! The chicken wings are crunchy and seasoned to perfection. My favorite flavor is lemon pepper. I wouldn't go anywhere else in Albany for wings. I can also say the fried green tomatoes, Mac and cheese, and French fries are all awesome! This restaurant has great service, a full bar, indoor, and outdoor seating. read more

The Grille House - Honey buffalo wings with fries. - Lounges Near Me - Albany, Georgia

Soul Food in the heart of downtown Albany, GA - just a block from the Ray Charles Plaza (wow -- worth the stroll across the street to enjoy that riverside space!) and on a block with all sorts of nifty things to do and to visit and to eat and to enjoy... and wow - everything about this place it is great! We ate lunch in the main little dining area - an unpretentious down home style setting with booths and tables. There is also a bar room, a small conference / concert space, outdoor seating space with a mega grill and out door bar, and so much more. The staff is friendly and helpful... And yes - the food is delicious. We had catfish filet (meaty and crispy and breaded and fried to perfection), the bone in wings (huge! with an array of sauces), fried shrimp (huge and lightly breaded and crispy fried), and fries (crispy, though not their standout item). Sundays they offer a buffet bar. They also have specials - like Wing Wednesday. Prices are fair. Service and setting is simple and just the home type feeling that makes life so amazing and enjoyable. Wheelchair accessible dining and bathroom. We will be back - for sure. read more

The owner's dismissal of our concerns regarding the quality of the food is why we'll never go back! She didn't address our concerns and she was sitting at a table about 10 feet away! Worse - much worse, we witnessed a waitress literally brought to tears because of how the owner spoke to her!!! If this is indicative of how the employees are treated, it's safe to assume the food, service and overall experience will suffer. There are so many other options within a very short distance. We deserve better. We can do better. read more

Everyone loved EVERYTHING! All of the food was cooked to perfection. Best broccoli I have ever eaten! read more

Only if Allison is working tho ‍. I'm big on customer service and she got it! She anticipated our needs, she checked on us, she heard us, she made sure we were OK throughout the night, and she listened. You might say that's her job and my response is show me someone around these parts that's doing their job tuh. Oh yeah I had wings one time and they were good so there's that but this review is strictly on her service read more

The food was excellent! We went early in the evening and there weren't a lot of patrons yet, so service was good. Would definitely go back if I'm in the area. read more

I ordered a chicken basket thinking that french fries and bread come with the chicken basket come to find out you had to pay separate for the french fries and then you had to pay for the bread and like I said before I thought chicken basket comes with french fries and bread I do not recommend this place for eating it seems like the prices are always changing read more

The Grille house sounds like someplace that might specialize in grilled food. Nope. Fried and greasy. I think this place could be a shiny spot in that part of Albany which could use it, but I think they would need to go in an entirely different direction from the decor to the menu. We also lost track of our server despite the place being empty. We had to check ourselves out up at the bar because she just disappeared. read more

Well we walked in at 7 on a Tuesday...and there was no one there. We looked at a menu and even though the waiter was very nice, I told him we thought we'd try someplace else. He said wait a minute and found a different menu go the adjoining restaurant, and was too nice to say no to. I ended up thanking him for persuading us to stay. I had a huge bowl of three meat jambalaya, my wife had a very nice, large pulled pork sandwich and killer sweet potato fries. Chunky and crispy waffle cut fries. My son had a yummy, melty chicken panini and his girlfriend had a chicken quesadilla she really liked. So the place does more of a lunch business but that's a shame. Short on ambiance but very good food. We'll be back. read more

Service was so so &. Ask for ribs and not a available so we order catfish which we could no finish ugh!! Do not eat at this restaurant. We were over charged. The fried green tomatoes were excellent. read more

We were passing through Albany on a trip, and we were so happy to discover this restaurant! Many other places in town were closed for Sunday lunch, but the Grille House was open AND had their special Sunday menu! We enjoyed a delicious spread of southern food. Patio was spacious and great for our family. Plus the hospitality was wonderful and our server Tray was the absolute sweetest. A fabulous lunch! read more

Horrible food and service. The ribs were grilled the day before and being reheated as ordered.

This restaurant is an absolute GEM!! I called the Grille House to order food for delivery. As my father said, "I have been eating soul food all my life, and this is one of the best meals I've ever had. Not only was the chicken cooked perfectly, but every single side dish, from the yams and fried cornbread to the iced tea and apple pie, was DELICIOUS. And the potato salad was almost as good as my wife's!" The awesome owner, Cindy, delivers her fantastic soul food to the Albany area. The meal my father and mother had was delivered to them at the hospital after the hurricane. read more

The southern cuisine was delicious! I had baked chicken, butter beans, and rice prepared just like my relatives! Mrs. Walker, the owner, was a ray of sunshine and really went out her way to make me feel welcomed and comfortable. That's a very precious quality and it is greatly appreciated, especially in these trying times. I loved everything about my experience at The Grille House! read more

Terrible experience to day worst customer service I've ever experience in my life and the waitress tried to start a fight and was very combative when we were only asking for meats on the open bar I would never recommend or eat at this place seating is very horrible as well read more

Horrible customer service. Drinks are made with a premix that contains bottom shelf alcohol, even if you order a premium drink, the premium alcohol is added to the premix, which ultimately makes your drink BOTTOM SHELF. I ordered, honey cajun wings, the owner brought out wings with hot sauce on them, cajun is NOT hot sauce! She also refused to fix my order or provide a refund. DID I MENTION HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! read more

Great vibes & never had issues but Sun. I waited about 20min. for my carryout of oxtails. You charge me the tip on top of the oxtails being overprice for the small amount. Total being 23.46 for maybe 1 oxtail piece together & a half. I waited to long for food that was already prepared In the kitchen or on the bar & you tip yourselves on a carryout order..... All I could do! Now I know! read more
