"Breaks my heart to leave this review as this place was one of my favorites all throughout my childhood. When we arrived there were only 3 other tables seated, so none of this can be chocked up to them being busy.I ordered the fried catfish caesar. What came out was blackened catfish. The server asked me if it was OK, and as I was thinking about whether my stomach could handle blackened (I have issues with Cajun seasoning) he set my plate down with a resounding it 's OK and walked away. I was stunned.My fiance got the two meet combo. The biscuit had zero salt flavor and was incredibly dry. The tritip was literally sliced like deli meet. Razor thin, and just as dry as the brisket. The biscuit that came with her meal was dry, and looked straight out of the can. Definitely not the big fluffy biscuits I remember.After having our food dropped, we were ignored for the rest of the night. It was obvious that our server didn 't want to ask us how our food was to avoid me saying the blackened catfish wasn 't really doing it for me. No further refills, no asking if I wanted a 2nd beer (which I did). We had to ask for our check, and when our server (who I 'm pretty sure was the manager, they didn 't appear to have any dedicated servers) took my credit card, he didn 't say a single word to us.Needless to say.... Yikes. This was probably my 30th time coming here. First time in a few years though, and it seems like it 's gone completely down hill. Will be hard to justify coming back."

"Ight folks..honest review here. I took an hr drive to Gradys today to see what the hype is about and sheeeshh.The service was phenomenal. Its like you're family. Its a small dining area but cozy. We loved the atmosphere. The line was ridiculous and wait time was about 25 minutes just to order but we didnt mind. Everyone in there was friendly. Got our food in 5 minutes. $50 to feed a family of 4. I recommend snatching a table while you wait to order. The Que was amazing, probably the best Ive had thus far and my wife enjoyed it so much that she went and ordered more and shes not a big bbq fan. They mix in crispy pieces of skin in their bbq which=amazing. I scarfed it down and then came the fried chicken. IMHO, the real star of the show was the fried chicken. Holy smokes! Made me wanna smack my momma and do a happy dance. My 12 year old daughter left nothing but bones. The breading is just that good and it was NOT overdone and dry which is very easy to do with fried chicken breast. It was juicy and tender fresh out the fryer. The sides and banana pudding were good too. We tried the butter beans, potato salad, boiled potatoes, rice and gravy and crinkle fries. All were good. We liked the food so much, that we went and ordered some to go for later ??. Oh yea and their lemonade will have you questioning every other lemonade you've ever tasted...idk what they put it in it but you'll be asking for a refill before you even get your food. We'll probably take the hr drive once every 2 months to eat there now. ??"
