“ Food is fresh and delicious. The strawberry spring salad was very good (it could have used more greens) and the salmon on top was cooked to perfection. My husband really enjoyed The chopped steak. The Philly was very flavorful. The only note was that the cheese is only on the top. It would be better if it were more evenly distributed so that each bite had cheese as it is a large sandwiches. Turkey Bacon Swiss was very fresh with nice and crispy bread. The fries and onion rings were wonderful. The apple butter old fashion was an unusual twist but very tasty. I wish they used a little bigger glass or a smaller ice cube so you could get the cinnamon stick in the drink. ”
“ Had lunch here today with some old friends, and the food was great. I had the grilled chicken with the strawberry salad. It was delicious and I think it was the best one I’ve ever eaten. Our waitress did an excellent job taking care of the 4 of us. ”
“ Well worth the drive off I75. French dip was perfect and I have had a lot of them with this one ranking at the top. Shrimp tacos where great. Got them grilled and blackened. Just enough spice to tingle the taste buds but not overpower the shrimp! Service was extremely good. ”

The food is absolutely incredible—every single item on the menu is a standout, from appetizers to entrees and desserts. You can taste the passion and attention to detail in every bite. It’s amazing to have such a high-quality dining option right here in Adairsville! One of the highlights of Water Tower Grill is their impressive full bar, especially for bourbon enthusiasts. They have a huge selection, and they also host monthly bourbon tasting events that are not to be missed. These events are an incredible opportunity to sample rare and expensive bourbons while enjoying a carefully crafted multi-course dinner. The pictures I’m sharing are from these outstanding evenings, which showcase just how special the experience is. Holly, our favorite bartender, always adds to the fun with her warm personality and excellent service. We usually sit in the bar area for dinner because of its lively yet welcoming atmosphere. The overall vibe is family-friendly, but it’s also a perfect spot for a night out with friends or a special date. Water Tower Grill truly offers something for everyone, and I can’t recommend it enough. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out on one of Adairsville’s best dining experiences! Highly recommend! ”
“ We decided to give the Water Tower Grille a try tonight. It was great! I had the catfish entree (1 piece, which was a large serving) and my husband had the Hot & Dirty pimp chicken sandwich. Both of our meals were delicious, but our favorite thing was the hush puppies! Prices were reasonable. The staff were all courteous and Rose, our waitress, did a fantastic job! We will definitely be going back to try many of the other menu items and the outdoor seating area if weather permits. ”
“ My husband and I stopped here after a long day of travel. Our hotel hostess recommended it. We’re so glad she did. It looks to have been built in an older farm house. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit inside. It was absolutely delicious. We ordered onion rings as an appetizer. He ordered a chicken salad sandwich plate and I ordered the catfish fillets. If I had realized how large the portions were going to be, I would have only gotten the one fillet dinner. The onions rings were hand sliced and battered, perfectly golden and flaky. My fish was also fried to perfection, and the pieces were as large as my husband’s hand. His chicken salad had an excellent flavor, wonderfully seasoned, on a fresh, toasted croissant. (Yes I tasted his and he tasted mine, we always do) the fries were well seasoned, crinkle cut fries. Adairsville has a gem in the Water Tower Grill. ”
“ We had been to The Water Tower Grille before and just had to go back when passing through town. We absolutely love the Bourbon Bacon Jam Brussels Sprouts!! Was never a brussel sprouts fan until we we ate these. A must try! All of our food was excellent. I had the chicken fried steak and my husband hot chicken sandwich. If you are near you should make it a priority to eat here. ”
“ We chose the Water Tower because of the outdoor seating. The restaurant is very tastefully done and welcoming, and the outdoor area is amazing. A very pleasant surprise. We tried a variety of items, but the wings were a huge hit. I also had the strawberry salad with grilled chicken. It was fabulous. Another member of our group had the Salmon BLT and said it was very good. We would definitely go back. ***Note to owner*** You need road signage. Both members of our party missed it. ”
