OT Grillehouse in Madison

[Curby]

Just opened on Wednesday. The wife and I went last night. Located at the end of the strip on Hwy 51 next to Wendy's. (the old City Grill)

The grilled bacon appetizer (thick slice with goat cheese and pepper jelly) and 9 oz Filet with beer onions. The balsamic roasted brussell sprouts and the potatoes topped with blackened catfish sauce.

Worth it. Highly recommend.

The porkbelly with chevrie cheese is to kill for....had it many times in Oxford at the original Grillehouse. Filets are pretty damn good too...order it "rare plus."

We're gonna try it soon. Glad to hear it's good.

Wait city grille closed? I liked the place but there was usually hardly any people in there when we went

Wasn't Ubons BBQ there before City Grille?

City Grille basically had the same menu as Georgia Blue. I even heard the cook/chef had worked at GB in the past, so not much to differentiate. It's getting harder to justify going to places like Ruth's or the Grillehouse when I can cook up a ribeye or filet on my Big Green Egg for a fraction of the cost.

I think CG was the first restaurant there after it was BlockBuster.

[Digging dog]

You're right. I'm gonna miss CG for lunch. They had an excellent blue plate.

I'll have to check that out. The one in oxford is an oasis in a desert of perfectly ordinary restaurants that try to pass themselves off as something special.

 

[gdogg]

"catfish sauce"? WTF?!

 

[Rog.sixpack]

$50 for a 9oz non-Prime filet? Ha, pass.

I'll stick to Walker's.

Just slide over Georgia Blue.

Their blue plates wee practically identical.
Down to the descriptions on the menu.
Georgia Blue's fired chicken is not shabby.

Also, while we're on the subject, it's worth noting that Primo's is opening up a Madison location this summer.

[MadDawg.sixpack]

Yeah, that doesn't sound too appetizing.

Ubons was where Tays BBQ is now I believe. In front of Home Depot in Madison.

 

[deanbar]

no, ubon was a couple doors down--subway is there now, i think

 

[fishwater99]

I'll stick to Walker's.

What?? $50 for a steak? Is it Wagau ?

 

[aTotal360]

I grind meat more expensive than that.

I could make a strong, informed argument that if you only eat prime filet, you have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to steak. I could make a strong argument that the worst prime cut for the money is filet. I could inform you that the prime grade is given based mostly on fat marbling from younger cows and that since a filet has almost zero fat, your comment makes no sense. I could inform you that certified angus beef that is dry aged at the price offered on his menu is a more than fair value. But that would be none of my business. Blast away at a new restaurant for no reason.
