Pitt Grill Athens Reviews
Food is amazing! Service is amazing..very friendly and you can sit at the counter and watch your food being cooked! Nothing frozen, all fresh!
Great food, excellent service. Had an excellent breakfast.
I love this place. Nitty gritty cigarette smoke filled cafe. Damn good food and OUTSTANDING STAFF ALL THE TIME. Don’t MESS WITH TEXAS, love that RED WHITE BLUE!!!
Smells a little smoky but the friendly staff and delicious food were perfect for a quick stop. Would definitely stop again. Everything was hot and fresh. Definitely would recommend the chicken fried steak and the patty melt.
Food is great, staff is awesome, 3 stars on atmosphere because smoking is allowed inside the restaurant.
Just returned & again what a awesome place to eat. . Wowzers, Another Hidden Gem found in my sister's town of New Boston Texas, The Pitt Grill We both ordered the Real Man's Breakfast with Hashbrowns scattered , smothered & covered. 😍. Our Waitress Jill was amazing & she had a shirt on from Honduras Harley Davidson, It's her 1st day back on the job from spending a week in Honduras and loved it. So when she wasn't super busy serving we had stuff to talk about. You can also order up some tunes on the Juke Box or play Zambini. Highly recommend this place and hope it makes the list for RTE-X-USA for 2025. Biker friendly. be warned the real man's breakfast may add a nap down the road 🤣❤️. will be returning tomorrow for another go round. Yall Ask For Jill and be sure to tip well my friends. Oh also 1 half the place you can smoke in, haven't seen that in many many years. A+++++ in my book.
Here is another Texas gem when you're traveling through or even staying in town. The vintage signage in front welcomes you to New Boston TX with a diner to rival any. I went with the daily special. Country Fried Steak with fries, toast and white gravy. It was very good, and the toast worked perfectly to sop up the remaining gravy. The coffee was delicious and offered often for refill. The atmosphere 4 star was given as half the diner was enjoying the smoking section. While I think it was pretty cool and nostalgic, a 5 star for smoking may go against any good thinking. Still an amazing diner off I-30 and I'd recommend over any national chain looking for your business.
Honestly best experience I’ve had in a while. We came on Christmas Day and they were so friendly. There was only two women working and the server was so sweet! The food was SO cheap and SO delicious! If we lived around here I’d be back all the time. I don’t care that there’s a smoking and non smoking. It adds charm. 10 stars. Would be back!
It’s a damn greasy spoon! Don’t expect grade “A” cleanliness! The food was delicious. The waitress I had was on par for what I’d expect at a restaurant, but have no doubt she wouldn’t put up with some of y’all’s nonsense. You can’t get much For $10 anymore, but I will definitely be returning for the food.
I've been going to New Boston for 23 years and have never been to Pitt Grill. I finally went yesterday and realized what I've missed. I had the cheesey eggs breakfast. The eggs were so creamy and rich. The biscuits were awesome, one of a kind grill cooked flavor and texture. My husband had a party melt with a fried egg on top, he loved it. I will be stopping in every time I go back to New Boston!
Good food. This is a smoking restaurants keep that in mind if eat in.
Food was good. Fries were hot and fresh, sandwich was good and hamburger. Service was good and the environment was welcoming. The place is old and needs repairs on the ceiling and could use some upgrades for sure. I have heard they allow smoking in this restaurant but I did not see anybody smoking. We will come back.
It was very busy on Friday night. We were there around 10 pm. We noticed the cook scolding the waitress, more than once. When we asked the other waitress was the cook new she replied " that's the owner " . Wow, couldn't believe how rude he was to his servers. I understand it must be stressful to be the cook, but you really shouldn't get on to someone where everyone in the restaurant can hear. It was a shame, the servers are so nice.
I didn't even notice this place until the wind shifted and the smell had me turning a circle looking for the source. I was a little skeptical at the greasy spoon look, inside and out, but the staff was friendly with lively chatter and laughter from the gals on the grill and I'm adventurous so what the hell🤷🏼♀️... Tried the 2eggs and bacon plate with grits. Eggs were perfect over medium, grits weren't lumpy or thin, but the BACON! 3 massive full slices, thick-cut, salty and so so so satisfying 🥓😌🙌🏼 3 stars just for the bacon
A lot like Waffle House but with a lot more smoke. Food was good and wait staff was very friendly but the overall cleanliness of the restaurant along with the unavoidable lung cancer gets a 3 star. Everyone but my family had a cigarette in their hand so while the food was good I won’t be going back due to the overwhelming smoke cloud throughout the building.
Got here on a Sunday around 11 am, the service is really good, food/drinks were excellent! The place is old but clean, restrooms no so bueno need some cleaning.. I guess the only problem was the long wait for our food ( party of four adults) we waited 25 minutes for the food and were told they were short one cook and thus the wait..other than that a good experience.
We are from Tennessee and state law says you cannot smoke in restaurants. We were surprised when we sat down and saw people smoking. The ceiling was stained with nicotine, and the ceiling was falling apart. After getting our drinks, our waitress forgot us. While we waited, 2 parties came in and left before ordering. The food was ok. The restaurant was like Waffle House...all the way down to the menus, except that the lamination was falling off. Good music on the jukebox, though, and the prices were very reasonable. If we are ever going through New Boston again, we will roll on by. For some people, this may be the perfect spot, but not for us.
1. I first noticed the waitress was tearing lettuce and was not wearing gloves after just wiping down the counter with a cloth. I am sure there were germs on that not so clean cloth! 2. The counter underneath the cooking area had a somewhat white cloth on it and it was filthy! Laying face down on this dirty cloth were various skillets and cooking pots! Made my stomach quesy and made it very difficult for me to eat my BLT. 3. The ceiling above the stove area was filthy. This place needs a good cleaning. Evidently the owner could care less. I don’t like fast foods that is why I stopped there (I was traveling thru and not first time). I believe more business would come if not so dirty.
It was the worst experience ever. Food was not good, wait staff not good, ordered a $6.50 sandwich my guest sandwich approximately same price. Waitress charged me $25 dollars. I am not sure of her math skills. Paid bill won’t be back ever.
