Customer Reviews

"If you're looking for great home cooked meals and you are in Rock Hill try Red's Grill. It's been serving breakfast and lunch since 1948. As soon as you open the doors, you will see red swivel chairs at a counter facing the cook who is working the grill. The smell of fresh eggs and bacon cooking will make anyone order breakfast. It's a small dining area, so be patient if they are busy. But once the food is served and you take a bite, it is worth the wait. I saw fish and grits go out, grits w/cheese and a biscuit, tons of Frenchtoast being served, hamburgers served, if you get a bologna sandwich it's a thick cut of bologna , pancakes are huge, and delicious looking club sandwich being served at 10:30am. I had 2 eggs over easy with livermush and hashbrowns one morning. It was delicious ! The next time, I had the livermush and egg sandwich and my work partner had liver and onions. The sandwich was absolutely delicious. The liver and onions looked as good as it tasted. Will definitely go back to try other items off the menu. It's a great place for breakfast or lunch."

"Hadn't been here in a long time so we decided to stop by since we were back in the area. They've added a drive thru in the post COVID era but aren't necessarily equipped to handle both dine in and carry out orders efficiently... the wait time for our food was a little long. I ordered cheese grits, one egg, toast, and hashbrowns and everything was good except the hashbrowns (too crispy). Customer service was great and it was nice to see there was still some good down home southern hospitality among the customers dining together."

- Cassandra R.

"What a cozy place to have breakfast. I felt like I came home when I walked in the door. We were greeted and waited on by T, and Michelle delivered our food and continued to make sure we were well taken care of. The food was really delicious and you could tell it was cooked with love. We were in town for the United States Disc Golf Championship Doubles Tournament, and this breakfast was the fuel I needed to kick-start my first round."
