Hear from our valued guests
The food is always delicious and the customer service superb. There is usually a slight hold to place a take out order but that is the because they give the right amount of attention to each person ordering so that nobody feels rushed. I’ve even heard them reading menu options to people ordering. They are doing a great job just offering take-out during COVID and keeping folks safe. Pictured is the shrimp and grits with turkey bacon (yes they have turkey bacon!), fried whiting, and wingettes. Desserts are good too and don’t get me started on the specialty iced teas and lemonades. Why are you still reading this instead of placing your order?
First time @Granny’s and I must say that the food was phenomenal. The crab cake so absolutely delicious. Just lump after lump of colossal lump crab meat packed with flavor. You gotta try the 🍑 Bourbon wings 🔥 and the fish and grits were 💣. Grits were very creamy & seasoned and the fish was fried perfectly. Spicy shrimp were ok... I have to try them again for a second opinion. They taste great but the timing was off on eating them. Follow other reviews @ IG: eat_n_critique.
Latoyia helped me place my order customer service was great. If anyone know me i dont like sweet potato pie at all. .But let me tell you THIS PIE THIS PIE is Soo Good. And let me not talk about the APPLE PIE Soo Good. As well as the LAKE TROUT MAC&CHEESE also the CABBAGE. I will be coming back and telling people about Granny's restaurant And what a wonderful story behad the name.
The cheeseburger mac that we got was one of the most delicious, creative things that we’ve gotten to experience. The cornbread in the shape of a heart was so so cute, and the crab soup was so good! The mac had a lot to be desired, but since everything else was amazing it’s staying at 5 stars.
My family of three had nothing but a positive experience all around! It's not in the most attractive location; a strip mall surrounded by cul-de-sacs. But once you're inside, you're greeted with the brightest smiles. If your dinner begins with a heart shaped cornbread, you know you're in the right place. It was brittle to the touch and melted in your mouth; kernels of corn juggling to remind you it's homemade. Then the kid's meal comes out in the cutest tray any restaurant with a kid's meal can provide. Waffles were light and fluffy. A touch of powdered sugar. My kid devoured it. Then our food comes out. Portions beyond HUGE. Four wings cooked to perfection, white to the bone. One waffle, large enough to eat one wing per quarter section. If they weren't good enough, the collard greens were the highlight of the night. It was the best I've ever had. And the salty/sour flavor coincided with the sweetness of the syrup so well. The best part of the evening was when we were driving home. Normally, when eating greasy wings and thick syrup, we feel disgusting and groggy as it digests in our system. But after Granny's, we felt NOTHING. It was the cleanest feeling after such a heavy meal. We're coming back for the shrimp and grits!
I stopped by Granny’s restaurant yesterday and really enjoyed the food overall. The chicken wings were amazing, crispy and full of flavor. The mac and cheese was also great, creamy and satisfying. The only thing that fell short was the mashed potatoes. They looked and tasted like they were from a box, not homemade like the menu advertised. Even with that, I really liked the place and I will definitely go back when I’m in the area for work.
Came here for the first time with my wife. We were both impressed. The customer service is outstanding. The food was very good. Looking forward to returning.
Excellent choice for dinner. Ambiance was great. Drinks were wonderful. Food portions were beyond enough. Restaurant “family”. Made you feel as family. We even got some Granny’s history. Wonderful to hear Granny lived to be 109. Trenton our server was excellent. Will definitely be returning. Loved it
I photographed a wedding in October of 2025 and Granny's Restaurant catered for it. And DELICIOUS is an understatement. From the chicken, candied yams, cornbread, Mac and cheese. I usually am given a humble meal while I work a wedding, but I felt like I was given more than enough! Everything was cooked to perfection, the staff was friendly, and everyone was satisfied!
I’ve been a long time fan of Granny’s. I grew up in this area and it’s so good to experience good soul food with good service. I didn’t get the kitchen managers name who rung me up; She was super pleasant. There wasn’t any Ana Mae Tea made and one of the employees made me some to order. Customer service!!!! I had their catfish and grits for the first time and I must say it was 🔥. 10 STARS!
