Wow!! I really regret not trying Refined To Go sooner! I’m telling you, this was some of the best food I’ve had in the state of Alabama. We tried the chicken picatta and the Brussels sprout salad. Both were absolutely incredible! We’re already planning on what new thing we will try from there next week! If you haven’t been, go immediately! You won’t regret it!

You can’t miss here! After the first time trying, went back three more time the same week. My wife and I added a Refined-To Go line in our family budget. It’s that good!

Soul Food Sunday’s from Refined To-Go Helena is top tier! I have not eaten a meal from there that I have not thoroughly enjoyed. Yesterday, I had the most tender and seasoned to perfection, Neck Bones w/Potatoes, Peppers & Onions, along with my selected sides and the meal was absolutely awesome. Chef James has mastered Soul Food Sundays, as well as his Superb Seasonal Menu offerings.

Visiting from California on Soul Food Sunday. The food was great, the vibe was nice; the service was great. There was seating which I did not expect.
“the roast beef was good. it melts in your mouth! i might have to come back just for that.” - my auntie.
The cream of corn was nice, creamy and sweet. A few of us found the macaroni and roast a bit too salty. I wasn’t a fan of the greens. The ratings are the average from a party of 9.
It was busy around when they opened. i think we waited around 30 minutes.

Chef James is AMAZING! My brother and I ate there for lunch today, July 18, 2025. First timers. My brother had the pork chop, bacon jam, sauteed greens, slice of tomato and polenta. The juiciest pork chop you have ever seen. He LOVED it.
I had the chicken Piccata. Capers, lemon, asparagus, arugula and shaved parmesan. BURSTING with flavor. Each bite was steamy hot until the last bite. So much flavor! We will be back.
If you haven't been here, RUN to it. Chef James will work his magic for you, too!!!

I don't know who's Ainty, not Auntie, is in that kitchen but she's there. First time visiting for takeout Sunday dinner, 7/20/25 and the warm service, food, and presentation were beyond excellent! I enjoyed the fried pork chop, collards, fried okra, mac 'n cheese, and a moist cornbread muffin. Thank you everyone! I'm full and very satisfied. 👩🏽🦱

Been wanting to try RTG for a while and haven’t. Ordered the steak tonight to treat myself for being a good boy….It was amazing! I’m kicking myself for not trying before. This place and the Chef are absolutely legit. Can’t wait to try other dishes. Thank you Chef.
Excellent! Full disclosure, I had a little dental work done today so I could not fully enjoy my meal but I know from experience that it reheats well. I won't tell you how far I drove just to get Refined 2Go but those brussel sprouts stay on my mind, and are worth the occasional trip across town. I mean, brussel sprouts are not even my favorite vegetable. In addition to the brussel sprouts salad, I had the blackened chicken Alfredo with broccoli instead of the spinach, and I let the chef talk me into the fried apple pie which wasn't that hard of a sale. 😀 The pie was the only thing I could eat all of tonight (it was so good-- tasty and light), but I did eat enough of the rest of my food to know I am going to be so happy tomorrow at lunch time and dinner! After three visits, I am a fan of this place. I like the concept, elevated cuisine that you can take to go, or eat in; there's a small dining area. The people are super nice. Pleasant customer service. I had an issue on my last visit a few months ago. I called back to let them know and they sincerely apologized. That is huge for me. People don't always get it right but when you mess up, an apology goes a long way. I appreciate that listen to feedback to improve. Okay, back to the brussel sprouts salad 😅, it's literally so good that I can eat it without the bacon jam vinaigrette but that stuff takes it to a whole other level. It's honestly a meal but itself. I ate the pie before I could snap the pic. 😀 No complaints. Just try them! Thank you to the Chef and your team!

I drove 10 miles and would have driven another 10 miles today for takeout at Refined-ToGo. Probably one of the best lunches my wife and I enjoyed. Chef recommended the blue cheese hamburger and it was spot on. Cooked to perfection and overwhelmed the bun. It was loaded! My wife had the rib eye and was also pleased. Please try this place, you will not be disappointed.

This restaurant has the slowest service I have ever seen. I have been to the restaurant at least 4 times and the average time to receive my order is around 30 minutes on food that is already cooked.
