B & G Grill

After standing for ten minutes by a table no one came over to clean it off. There were six tables empty and none of them were cleaned off, so we left !

The problem is:
Folks go in around 7:30 am or earlier to eat breakfast. They stay until 10:30 am or later and Socialize. Most of the time there will be several tables with one individual at each table and each of the tables are conversing with each other. People start coming in for lunch and there are NO tables. I’ve said something about camping out at another’s expense. But what can be done? People, some of them, just plain don’t care.
I’ve been as early as 10:00 am to get a parking place. Sit in the car, patiently waiting. Closer to 11:00 am, go in and… you guessed it, wait for the text messaging to be completed. If the «mood isn’t right» nobody moves. If you go… you wait.
Don’t know how to resolve the problem.
I know it drives the wait staff crazy. They can’t say anything. Might offend!

If you love eating prison food, this is the place for you! The plates are plastic and compartmentalized like you’d find in your 3^rd grade cafeteria. The veggies are either frozen or canned and the meat tasted as if a rat was caught in the back and pounded into looking like chicken breast.
The service was decent but could improve considering they will always receive their tips in cash… btw this place doesn’t take credit.
The only reason this place gets at least 1 star is because the price was cheaper than dirt.

There’s a charm to this place for many, but unfortunately not for me. It’s in a great location and seems to get plenty of business, however as my husband said, «I feel like I just finished a meal from the 1960s.»
Prices are low, but you get what you pay for. I got the homemade chicken salad, which tasted like more relish and mayo than chicken. The cream potatoes are filler at best, and the garden peas were disappointingly gross… tasted like they were from a can from the 1960s.
Friends got the country fired steak, which tasted like pure salt. They also did not have the barbecue or the chicken available. I thought the green beans and French fries were the best of the sides that we got.
Oh yeah and why were the wait staff wearing scrubs?
Cash or check only!

Good food, and REALLY great prices. The only downside to B & G is the fact that you can never get a table quickly. If you get there for lunch, be prepared to wait (sometimes around 20 minutes or so) for a table. It’s not that the establishment is small, it is just really popular in downtown Goldsboro.
I recommend going on Thursday and giving the BBQ chicken a try. It is — hands down — the best I’ve ever had. Usually I just call my order in and go back to the office to eat. They’ll have your order ready in 10 minutes or so. They have great short order items too. The burgers are good, and I love their fries.
Oh yeah… cash only!

‘B’ and ‘G’ is for Bruce and Grace, the original owners. Grace is the lady behind the register most days.

Great service with an awesome and affordable home made lunch! Ive been going to this place for years, friendly crowd, quick service and I love the simple and practical menu. I especially love Wednesdays when they serve bbq chicken and their token strawberry pie (they also have a great peach cobbler)…pick any day of week and you’ll be greeted with warm smiles, great food and a super military friendly community at B and G’s!

Great little restaurant with excellent prices. Excellent country lunch plates, in addition to your normal day to day fare. Very good place to enjoy a breakfast meal. Expect a crowd at lunch.

Who is B and G anyway — I’d like to think the Bee Gees while Stayin’ Alive colorfully plays in my head, but we all dance to a different tune…
B&G has «good bones», real estate speak for solidly built with lots of neat architectural details (lots of brick archways) and a coherent design. They are open often, M-​F 730 — 230 so go for a working lunch. Service was fast and friendly, we were out of there in less than 30 minutes and it didn’t feel like a fast food restaurant, more like an upscale cafeteria.
The great thing about B and G is they are cheap, and I mean cheap. My cheeseburger (it has chili on it too) was $ 1.40. A grilled chicken sandwich, $ 2.40, a hot dog $ 1.25 — add a little cheese, maybe $ 1.40.The most expensive thing on the menu was $ 6.80 and it was crab and something. There is also a lunch special — today’s was meat loaf and chicken pastry and $ 6.75.
B and G seems to be a local establishment, as in the true definition of established: «thriving: started or set up long enough ago and sufficiently successful to suggest likely continuation or permanence» — it was packed Tuesday at 1145. Granted the average age was 55+ ish, but seniors know a cheap, good deal when they find it.
