6 Best Southern Restaurants near Troy

“I really wanted to like B Graves — this was my second visit, hoping for a better experience after the first one didn’t go so well. Unfortunately, it still missed the mark. I ordered the filet (medium) and asked for au poivre, which even cost extra on the menu. When the plate came out, it was overcooked — closer to well-done — and topped with a plain cream sauce with no pepper at all. After I asked about it, the bartender told me it wasn’t a traditional au poivre and came back with a little coarse black pepper sprinkled on top. For anyone unfamiliar, au poivre literally means “with pepper.” The classic French version is a pepper-crusted steak finished with a brown Cognac-and-peppercorn reduction made from the pan drippings. Nowhere should a basic Alfredo-style cream sauce be called “au poivre.” When you’re charging extra for it, that detail really matters. What made it worse was the fact that I got my steak about 5 minutes after a lady a few chairs down got hers and she ordered every bit of 10 minutes after I did. When the bartender noticed it she said let me go check on yours. I think that is where it all went wrong and literally just threw mine together. No proper sauce and an over cooked filet. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was nice, but my first visit also had a major issue — my wife actually found a piece of plastic from a salad bag in her salad. I understand mistakes happen, but after two tries, the consistency and attention to detail just aren’t where they should be for a place with this reputation and price point.“

“I go there quite often as it is close by. The city is all right, but I like the country, and this is out in the country. Love the atmosphere. This was one time a real barn, I can remember it. Service is great. It is so good to see young people working instead of just hanging out. Praises to the owner (Amy) for giving these young people a chance to learn and earn a living. Now as to the food, if there is any bad food on the menu, I haven't found it yet. The steaks are great, and the seafood is best that I have found this side of the Gulf of America, and better than most of theirs. I am a regular there because it is my kinda place. Don't forget to sit on the porch and enjoy the country side.“
