⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Brunch Done Right at 1885 Grill
1885 Grill absolutely crushed brunch. This is one of those places that reminds you why brunch exists in the first place — great food, relaxed vibe, and service that actually gives a damn.
The food was outstanding across the board. Everything came out fresh, hot, and clearly made with intention — not rushed, not slapped together, and definitely not “brunch by assembly line.” Portions were solid without being ridiculous, and the flavors were dialed in the way you hope they’ll be when you order brunch somewhere that knows what it’s doing.
But let’s talk about the service, because that’s where 1885 really separates itself. The staff was friendly, attentive, and on point without hovering or disappearing. Orders were spot-on, refills were handled before you had to ask, and the overall energy was welcoming instead of forced. You could tell they actually care about the experience, not just turning tables.
Atmosphere was comfortable and polished — upscale enough to feel like a treat, but laid-back enough that you don’t feel like you’re breaking rules by enjoying yourself.
Bottom line:
1885 Grill’s brunch is the real deal. Excellent food, excellent service, and an experience that makes you want to come back — not because you’re bored, but because they earned it. This is how brunch should be done. Hell yeah.

First time visit. Great experience. Both food and service were on mark. Billy our food server was awsome. Great personality, super menu knowledge (something lost in most restaurants today) attentive to our needs but not overbearing. The menu is fun with many intriguing items. Food was great ordering seared scallops, fried green tomatoes, mushroom grits with blackened shrimp and a bowl of gumbo. The gumbo was very flavorful, filled with sausage. Fried green tomatoes were a delight with the touch of pimento cheese was quite the compliment to the dish. Mushroom grits were creamy delicious. Cold draft beers. Great job all together.

There’s 2 bars – upstairs and downstairs – as well as table seating. I had the pepperminti – delicious. My husband had the “Almost like Tito’s” martini and said it was good. I had the blackened shrimp plate – very good. The hushpuppies were good. I wasn’t a fan of the coleslaw. My husband had the shrimp and grits. The grits come either as creamy or as a cake or you can do 1/2 and 1/2. He chose to try both and said the cake edged out the creamy grits by a small margin. He, also, tried the wings. He said the wings were ok. They only have 1 sauce for the wings.

Our server was great. She was attentive and made sure drinks never ran low. My wife had the rainbow trout and overall, it was good. Served hot but slightly under seasoned. I had the shrimp and grits. Unfortunately it was served room temp to cold in places and had six shrimp. Not what you would expect at this price point. We may try 1885 one more time.

I came here my first time and went upstairs and sat at the bar area, instantly got friendly service by a gentleman named Christian, the food was great! Ordered the 1885 Burger and they even offered garlic aïoli on the side to dip the rosemary fries in, which was delicious. Overall a wonderful place, with top notch service, great food and great atmosphere!

Attempted to dine here on a Saturday night and while our visit was cut short, from my short time there it was pleasant. We were seated immediately and choose to sit outside. Our waitress Destiny was great and was with us within minutes to get our drinks and food. The Smoked Salmon Dip was delicious, better than what I was expecting. The wings were about as good as what I expected them to be. Probably wouldn’t order them again. Regardless, I do plan on visiting them in the future and trying other items.

My sister and I have become a regular at this establishment. The food is good and the drinks are good as well. The bar tender Christian is a very awesome and friendly person. It’s hard to get good service when you go out but Christian does not disappoint. Seems like he has very good reputation with all of the customers. I recommend eating here. My favorite meal on the menu is the Philly cheese sandwich.

The food was pretty good. The wings and gumbo were delicious from what my friend said, I had the fried green tomatoes and those were phenomenal but they had so many toppings on them, the crab cake burger was lacking a bit of flavor surprisingly.
I went on a very busy night and our waitress was still pretty attentive.
Very serious bar energy with multiple TVs, and an outdoor patio area.

What a disappointment, we had selected this restaurant for a birthday dinner. The waiter was forgetful, my wife’s burger was over cooked, she asked for medium and got well done, they forgot the cheese, then the waiter took the plate back and brought the same burger with a slice of unmelted cheese on it! My small salad the greens were wilty and warm, if you are going to try to be a higher end establishment then you really should step up your game, the meal was over $140 with our soda’s and tea, way over priced and very low quality food. The scallops were fishy smelling.
