The Downtown Grill

We love the Downtown Grill for their awesome chicken tenders. Seriously, they are some of the best I’ve had. Their fries are so tasty– whether you get the ranch fries or the fries with cheese and bacon.
We’ve always had great service when eating in, and the servers are super kind to my 2 year old.
The ONLY downside is that you sometimes leave smelling like you laid straight on the fryer.
Update: please get the hamburger steak. It’s the best I’ve ever had. Perfect gravy and onions on top!

Love love love the shrimp tacos. The wings are cooked just right and with the medium sweet heat sauce are delicious. Toss in the fried oreos (they’ve been out of banana pudding everytime I’ve gone) and it’s a nice place. The lighting is a bit bright but the beer on tap will help you forget about that. The service is friendly; you can tell it’s a family business. I can’t wait to head back and try the steak sandwich (but the shrimp tacos call to me).

I would recommend the southwestern chicken wrap. One order will feed two persons who are trying to eat healthy.
However, I didn’t care for their version of chicken salad.

Had an excellent BLT and fries. Coffee was good.
Service was good and friendly.
Meal prices were a good value.
Décor and facility are a half step from fast food to diner. The food is good diner quality. Seating is no frills booths, tables, and counter. Sandwiches come in plastic baskets and coffee comes in a styro cup. Not sure what dishes other meals are served on.

I was so excited to return to downtown grill for some wigs with my friends after living out of the state for a few months. To my disappointment the old owner is gone and a new one is in replicating the old menus and not executing the meals at all. Very sad day for me

This place is sooo much better now that Wayne isn’t there to scare off customers. Awesome wings and sandwiches. Oh, and ranch fries! Nice old school diner feel.

Ok first thing first, service is a bit slow. The food is mediocre at best, the one and ONLY reason i keep returning here is the DEEP FRIED BANANA PUDDING!!! yes you heard me right!!! this delectable delight will keep me coming back for more. i tried to take some to go so the wife and kids could enjoy… yeah not good. This desert is only good fresh out of the grease!!! with that whole scoop of fresh vanilla ice cream :) THis is a good place for desserts but for main fair. just that. fair. If i had to rate just the desert it would get 5 stars… but since i factor in the slowness of the wait staff plus the mediocre main fair… it gets a 3.

Wings — if that’s what you’re craving, then this place does them better than any chain restaurant! The traditional sauce is not too hot, so if your palate runs toward spicier, ask for more kick. he traditional on-​the-​bone are very meaty and the skin was that perfect level of crispiness you look for in a good fried chicken wing. I’d use the word «delicious» on the wings! Wings are served with a very yummy boiled potato (!) which was quite the teaser and I almost asked if I could have more of those. And a triangle of white bread (oh, Southerners, what’s with the white bread?) and ranch or blue cheese but NO carrots or celery. Puzzling. I asked for a house salad on the side, and that happened to be iceberg lettuce topped with bacon bits and cheddar cheese shreds. What??? I asked the waitress if the other veggies had been forgotten and she said, «No, that’s the house salad.» Yikes! (And yuck! I wanted veggies!) My friend got the grilled chicken over salad and it was mediocre according to him.
Other than that, it’s average food at a reasonable price. Another table’s burger looked pretty tasty. The menu contains many sandwiches and fried selections (including desserts such as fried twinkies, oreos, etc.) for those who are into such things. There are daily specials and they have a «Wing Challenge» you can attempt to conquer if you like (10 wings in 10 minutes with their hottest sauce, no dipping in ranch or bleu and nothing to drink). The service was attentive although a tad slower than I’m used to, but I chalked that up to it being a smaller town in the South where the overall pace is just more relaxed. The waitress thoughtfully asked if we wanted to-​go cups for our beverages at the end.
If I were to return, I’d stick to the specialty, as the wings were top notch! But nothing else would compel me to visit again.

Wings are the best you’re going to get in Cullman, but the service can be spotty at times due to one mediocre waitress. The only real issue is how slow they are in the kitchen. I still give 4 stars because I enjoy the Wings. I eat at BWW biweekly because of a waitress I know the wings here are better.

Prompt service, food was good, my waitress happened to be the owner and was very courteous. Would recommend this place and I intend on going back.

Tasty wings, it takes a VERY long time!

My husband and I went back for some ‘man food’. Unfortunately we weren’t that impressed.
We got the loaded potato skins which came out with imitation bacon. Seriously? You have all this man food and can’t put real bacon on the potato skins?
My husband ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich but got buffalo chicken fingers instead. He was fine with that, its the same thing without the bun, but he just said the sauce was not any better than store bought.
I was craving a nice burger but was less than wowed by the bland burger I received.
I’m still happy with their wing selection but there are plenty of other places I’d rather go in Cullman unless I really wanted wings.

Best wings around. Better than Hooters or BWW by far. Tons of flavors to choose from. Also try the ranch fries or ranchshrooms (fried mushrooms with ranch and cheese).
