    Excellent wings. Cooked perfectly, as well as a good seasoning flavor in the breading. Wasn't too much breading like some places. Baby lima beans had a very good, unique taste to them. Cinnamon pound cake was very good, also. Will definitely return for pork chops, roast. Slight edge over grille house, the other top southern food option, in town. Seemed to be a little hard to get a hold of over phone until after 2 on Sunday but service was pretty fast in person.

    The Everyday fried chicken special
    Robin S.

    This spot is new to me since I've moved back home and I was glad I stopped to try it! Each day is a different highlighted special. I had the everyday special because I was too late to get the Ox tail plate which is the special for Friday. I also got Mac n cheese and fried okra. It came with 3 pieces of chicken, 2 sides a drink and a piece of cake for $8. Now THAT is worth the price. I have absolutely no complaints because everything tasted great. I plan on going back to get a good fixing when I need it! And if you don't like super sweet drinks you may want to add some water but I felt the lemonade was perfect. Honestly this place reminded me of a smaller version of Carter's grill and that's what I grew up eating for good soul food. So 10/10 would recommend all the way!

Great customer service from start to finish. Didn't go past the front, just sat in take out area. No info on restrooms. We ordered to go. The wait for the food wasn't long at all. They inform you of items being cooked fresh and about how long it will take. My husband enjoyed his pork chop dinner. He says everything was to his liking. He didn't eat the ho-cake, as he is on keto. My meatloaf dinner; Not so much. The meat loaf was clearly cooked a while ago , so it was noticeably microwaved, or it may have been sitting under a heat lamp a bit too long. Made it tough, and dark. But the flavor was pretty good. So I imagine it'd be great when fresh. The mashed potatoes were boxed, but not bad. The black-eyed peas had no taste whatsoever; no onion or garlic, salt, pepper, etc. Same with the ho-cake, dry with no flavor. The cabbage-collards were really good. They don't cook any of their veggies/peas/beans with meat. That works for me, cause I don't eat pork. The red velvet looked questionable, but turned out to be delicious. I will be retuning to try other menu items. My meal wasn't perfect this time, but my husband enjoyed his. I say check them out. Good food AND great customer service in Albany are hard to find.

    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

The lamb chops were perfectly cooked to temperature and the flavor was impeccable. The Mac and cheese was a little too bland for my liking, being from the south the Mac n cheese has to HIT! The broccoli was almost better than the chops, sautéed perfectly and the flavor my God! Great job chef The service was 1000/10! My bartender was Tory and she was running the show! She had to work both bars by herself but she didn't miss a beat! This slowed her down a little bit with our rounds but she handled herself very well and her attitude stayed bubbly and bright. Our whole crew was impressed by her bartending skills, she made a KILLER lemon drop! The bar there is what brings us back, the girls are always super friendly and as backed up as you guys usually are on the weekends the bartenders always make sure we have a great time. We don't mind spending our money for great service! Job well done to the bartenders at Fin & Feathers! The ambiance is nice, but we'd definitely like to see that stage utilized so us business professionals can have a weekly hangout spot. Maybe a live band or some karaoke would be great! All in all we had a great time and we'll definitely be regular patrons of this franchise. Looking forward to trying the other locations as well, great job guys!
