A LEGACY OF BARBECUING, GRILLING AND FRYING White Diamond Grill Take a Seat in Houston County History s you head to the east end of Houston County, past Athe railroad tracks that were once the town’s main thoroughfare and into Bonaire, you’ll find an old one-story building off of Georgia Highway 247. The old white brick that makes up the storefront is humble. The sign above that stretches above the building simply says, “White Diamond Grill,” in plain white text. As you enter the building, you’re greeted with warm lighting, a few simple booths and tables and several members of staff working behind the counter, cooking food and ringing up tickets. Red seats welcome new customers, and bottles of homemade barbeque sauce welcome newcomers to try something they haven’t had before. This humble setting hides a secret: a legacy of barbecuing, grilling and frying that has kept this business in operation since 1949. Nancy Childree, White Diamond General Manager, spoke a bit about the cultural point’s history. “It’s been in Mr. Charlie Jay’s family for generations after generations, way back when,” Childree said. “It’s always been in the family. It’s a family-run business. They started years and years ago, and it’s really good.” STORY AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY TYLER MEISTER Being one of the county’s oldest restaurants, plenty of memories have been made within the eatery’s walls. All of those memories center around White Diamond’s menu. Childree highlighted their catfish plate, their award-winning hamburger — but above all, Childree said their barbecue is what sets them apart. The barbecue is smoked on site in a pit attached to the building, one that’s been with the establishment for years. The meat is coated in a homemade mustard-based barbecue sauce, and then served alongside a bun or a roll, in addition to several options for sides. Often, Childree said that those ordering the meal often grab coleslaw and Brunswick stew to go along with it. “The barbecue is outstanding,” Childree said. “The barbecue is our best seller — people love the barbecue.” From the combination of the restaurant’s historic nature and the unmatchable quality in food, Childree said that the community has supported them “very, very well.” “We stay busy all day, all night long,” Childree said. “They love White Diamond, they really do. Even when the pandemic hit and everything, we closed the dining room, but people still came to the window. They’d be stretched out to the street — they wanted it.”
The White Diamond Grill has a legacy of barbecuing, grilling and frying that has kept this business in operation since 1949. White Diamond Grill is located at 497 GA-247, in Bonaire.
