The General Greene

Fantastic food and friendly wait staff. Great place for brunch, lunch, or dinner. The wait for food is a bit longer than usual but the quality more than makes up for it. There's usually a good crowd here at peak times. It won't be overly loud, but not a place for intimate/quiet conversation at those times.

We came between brunch and dinner (roughly 4pm on a Saturday), and unfortunately the only items available were a Kobe burger and a veggie burger. Fortunately, the Kobe burger was delicious. And the fries (they were the skinny kind) were even better -- and I'm a fry snob. It was mostly empty when we arrived, but by the time the dinner service started at 5pm, it started to fill up quickly.

Came here for dinner, the place was nice with low lights and felt very cozy. We ordered the Burger which was great, smoked chicken which was delicious, and creme roulette which was OK. Service was quick and good, and over all it was a nice experience. The problem was with the drinks, they weren't that good. Prices were fair enough for the food. Try it if you are in the area.

I really liked this cozy brightly light restaurant. I went for brunch. I ordered the fried chicken and waffles. The waffle was well made, very crispy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. The chicken was perfectly fried. Not greasy at all. I also ordered the maple candied bacon. It was sweet and salty at the same time. The brioche donuts filled with either vanilla, dulche de leche, or nutella were delicious. They have a sugary coating, not too sweet but very tasty. You could try all three varieties because one order consists of 3 donuts. The bloody mary was interesting with a pickle, lime, and an olive. They make the drink with your choice of vodka, gin, or tequila. Different. I want to go back to try the salty caramel sundae, as well as the cheesy grits, and the happy hour. Brunch is served every day. WOW. They also serve dinner, and there is a full bar. The service was excellent. Prices are moderate.

I love this place. Since we moved to the neighborhood I have been trying to venture out and try all the spots around here but we can't seem to stop going to the greene. Their fried chicken is nuts (except I think the recently changed the cornbread recipe, I liked the old one better) and when Im craving some comfort food I hit up the lamb meatloaf. The grilled lettuce wedge for an appetizer is sick too. Not sure why it only has 3 stars on Yelp. Never had anything but good experiences with the service as well. Hope they stay around for a long, long time!
