If you’re searching for some good down home food in the area, check out James Grill in Denham Springs. James Grill, only open for breakfast and lunch serves foods such as red beans & rice, chicken and dumplings, chicken fried steak and other country style foods along with grilled items.

I have been to James Grill many times before. I love coming here for the fresh home- style cooking and great prices. Today I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak with corn bread, mashed potatoes, and black-eyed peas.  As usual, the chicken was very tender and drowned with creamy country white gravy.  The side items where very good as well. The plate came with a gigantic piece of corn bread and fresh mashed potatoes and black-eyed peas.

At James Grill you won’t find anything new or exciting, or unique. It also won’t be the best food you have ever eaten, but I guarantee you it will be delicious, fresh, and filling.

Service
Today’s service was pretty horrible. We walked in and seated ourselves. We waited probably about ten minutes before a waitress acknowledged we were there and then she took another five minutes to actually come wait on us. After our food was served (which was very quickly), our waitress never came back to check on us for refills or anything else. She was too busy chatting with all the other waitresses. We had to yell out across the restaurant to get her attention for the check.
Usually this place has good service, but I guess it just wasn’t meant to be for today’s review.

Atmosphere
James Grill is a make shift restaurant that was quickly thrown into the old James Drug Store. The drug store shelving acts as dividing walls and the kitchen is openly exposed to the dining room.  The restaurants décor consist of a nauseating amount of LSU items that has gone beyond ridiculous.
