Walt's Grill

Can’t believe this is my first time eating here.

Some of the best fried chicken I’ve ever had! It was seasoned perfectly and served piping hot. It was so hot you could see the steam rising after your first bite. It was so hot, the chicken melted the plate! 😆

Meal came with mashed potatoes & gravy, green beans, a roll and the best sweet iced tea with crushed ice. All for less than $10!

Husband had the pork Barbeque plate with fries, Mac & cheese and hush puppies and tea. That was some great barbecue! He said the Mac & cheese was stone cold, well he should have told the owner.

The owner/cook was very friendly. Several locals were eating/hanging out or coming by for their to go orders. Very friendly place.

One draw back: strong smell of fried oil. But since the chicken was so good, will over look that. Maybe needs better exhaust fan.

We will be back. Hope to try their pork chops and breakfast!

This place is a hidden gem in Chapel Hill! The fried chicken wings were HUGE and fresh out of the fryer, and the sides were both delicious and filling as well. The nice woman working there offered my friends and I complimentary sweet tea or lemonade, which was a nice touch! The environment is homey and the food is great, highly recommend!

My staff and I wanted soul food today and we found Walts Grill!!! The food is absolutely amazing and tasteful... The owners were so friendly... Atmosphere made me feel like being at home waiting on a home cook meal from my mom!!! I will be eating here more often... I'm trying everything!!!

We made our first visit to Walt's Grill yesterday and we really enjoyed our visit!

I had the smothered pork chops, fried okra, and macaroni & cheese. Everything was full of flavor and very enjoyable.

Mr. Walt found it hard to believe we had traveled all the way from our town to Chapel Hill just to visit his restaurant but we were talking the truth! We don't get to the Chapel Hill/Carrsboro area very often, but we like to find great eating spots along the way for those times we do find ourselves near those areas. We will definitely be back and look forward to talking with Mr. Walt, again!

The food was amazing. Fried pork chops and Fried chicken was cooked while I waited. The collards, black eye peas and mash potatoes with brown gray were excellent. Talk about walking into grandma's house for dinner walts was the same experience. Talked with the cook, the server, and the owner. Beautiful people, great conversations. We will be back. Price was more than reasonable. Thank ya'll for the food and company.

I did take out and it was awesome. Baked chicken, cabbage, greens, fried okra, mac and cheese. The chicken was great..very juicy and generous sized pieces, the greens and cabbage where perfect. The okra was the best I've had since my mama's house. The mac and cheese could use some work..I like it in more of a custard. It beats Mama Dips for sure!! Walt's is going to be my go to from now on!!

We were in town for a track meet. Stopped at Walts place for a quick bite before heading home. The food was FANTASTIC! Service FANTASTIC. Small black owned business. We will definitely come back.
I had the fried chicken, mac and cheese and yams. The hubby had turkey wing broccoli and fries. We even got 2 additional plates to go. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!

This is a casual, homey restaurant with good food and great service. Our party ordered pork chops, fried chicken, country style steak, and grilled tilapia, and we were each very happy with the food. The portions were generous and the sides were delicious. Highly recommend!

My wife and I both said that the fried chicken was some of the best we’ve ever had. The BBQ Chicken was great too.

Yeah Chipotle, Chick Fil A etc. are cool, but this place just felt like a hometown restaurant that has been around for a while and bleeds Carolina Blue. We were happy to visit and we’ll definitely be back.

I went to this place q looking for something hole in the wall and just down home cooking what little extra seasoning it was a great experience everybody was super nice food was delicious customer service is great and even my wife being in her wheelchair it was still easy for her to go in a little place everybody was so nice and helpful can't wait to get back

Easily some of the best fried chicken and croaker I've ever had. Very, very local. Friendly and entertaining.

In town for training & this place came up in a near the hotel search.
Very Very good. It's a much try!!!

Food was good. We ordered the bbq ribs, fries, mashed potatoes, collar greens, and country style steak. Everything was good! The meat fell off the bones for the ribs. Except the portion for the country style steak was a little too small. Everything was delicious, especially the mashed potato with gravy. Next time i want to try the fried chicken.

Nothing fancy about this restaurant, but the food is the bomb. Had the turkey wings and rice and gravy.

The most authentic restaurant on or off Main / Franklin.

The food is hot, cheap and yummy
The atmosphere is like your favorite old recliner: well worn and remarkably comfortable.

In an admittedly selfish consideration, I almost didn't post a review.

If Genuine = Gourmet then this is the only gourmet restaurant in Chapel Hill... so far.

First visit was a great experience.Good food,and awesome customer service.Ready for visit number two👍🏿

A hidden gem. If you like county cooking, go to Walt's grill fish plate is great!! At a great price

Enjoyed it!

Food was very good.Well season a variety of meat and vegetables to choose from
Staff very friendly.

Hidden gem of Chapelboro! Before, I would drive to Durham for authentic home
style southern food, but now I am both thrilled and scared knowing that such good cookin is near my house. I actually showed up after Walt's had closed for the day, but the neighborhood "boys" (a kind group of older gentleman playing cards and watching baseball) welcomed me and made me a plate to eat anyways on the house. I had their bbq chicken, which is NOT a boring lump of meat covered in sauce- it is a proper spiced and stewed tasty delicacy known primarily to those from the Midwest and Texas. No sauce here. My sides were collards and potato salad. Collards were light- not stewed in lard but moreso slow cooked with a little vinegar. Maybe. Potato salad was amazing and everything you want in a southern potato salad. My meal was served with a potato roll to sop up any extra juices and I asked for some pork rinds (fried fat back) i spied in the kitchen. I was taking my meal to eat outside, not wanting to disturb the boys playing cards, but they insisted I stay and have some sweet tea. I usually strongly dislike sweet tea but could've drank a gallon of this perfectly sweetened elixir. I offered cash to the owner Bobby/Walt, but he wouldn't accept it. All in all I believe the meal would've cost $7.50. Cannot beat that price at all!! If you are a low key person who enjoys the local vibe and southern food, put Walts on the bucket list right now! Next I'll have to try their breakfast. And their fried chicken. And the fried pork chop 😝
