Thomasville Richard’s Evening
Grill By day this is Henderson’s, a long-running hamburger and fast-food joint. At night, owner Richard Henderson turns it into a grill, decked out in tropical island colors and festooned with colored Mexican and white lights. It’s a large and casual place, much loved by the locals for a broad menu of fresh seafood and a small but well-chosen wine and beer selection at down-to-earth prices. The evening menu opens with starters like crab cakes, green tomatoes, seafood gumbo and oyster stew. There are pastas and "fried favorites," as well as "special stuff" like shrimp creole and pork medallions with apple-pear chutney. You also can get a masterful cheeseburger with fries for an unheard-of $3. Most go for the grilled steaks or "fresh fishes" (grouper, salmon or tuna), each available in a variety of options. We liked the sautéed grouper with caribbean salsa, served with wilted spinach and saffron rice, accompanied by a house salad dressed with a sundried tomato vinaigrette. The key lime pie was a refreshing dessert. (912) 226-3376. Entrées, $8 to $16. Dinner, Monday-Saturday 5:30 to 9 or 10. Henderson’s, 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. NOTE: Please be advised that the other restaurants detailed in our book have closed. Locals report that Fish Bonz, which opened in Melissa's former location at 134 South Madison St., and Liam's at 109 East Jackson St. are worthy successors.
