Decent. Not special. Unlikely to make my regular rotation. I drove past this place going back to forth to work and on the outside it looked like a nice establishment. Today I finally visited and was a bit disappointed to see the underwhelming interior where it is strictly carry out and cheap metal guest chairs to wait on while the food is prepared. But it's really about the food right?! Meh. It was very hit and miss. I ordered the (4) sliders with grilled onions. They were slightly charred which was nice, and they were juicy, but they could have been cooked a little more (they were like medium to medium well and I prefer well done - I should note they didn't ask how I preferred my burgers cooked). I also ordered their jumbo fried wings and picked sweet and sassy sauce. The sauce was tasty and the wings had a nice texture, but beyond the sauce the wings had a plain flavor suggesting they didn't season the wings before frying and then coating them with sauce. Overall the food was solid but not awe inspiring. I was less impressed with their cakes. I ordered a strawberry slice and a carrot cake. The carrot cake was moist and wasn't bad at all. I've had much better, but it was edible and satisfied my sweet tooth for the day. The strawberry cake however was dry and grainy. Perhaps it was old. It was definitely a waste of $7.99! On the plus side the employee was friendly and nice, so there's that! read more

Decided to give this place a shot as a first timer. Had high hopes as the menu was very diverse and the pictures online looked great, but unfortunately the execution failed on many fronts. The cornbread was hard, like inedible hard. The steak and cheese featured soggy bread with a side of limp lukewarm fries, and the jerk chicken was a poor imitation of jerk flavor, as the best word I could use to describe it was lifeless. On the bright side, the employee was friendly and the food was ready on time, so at least there was that. Unfortunately, this was a total miss so my first time will also be my last time. read more

I recently tried the jerk salmon with Caribbean rice and string beans, and while it initially looked and smelled amazing, the taste didn't meet my expectations. It's clear the restaurant put effort into creating an enticing presentation, but the dish could use a few adjustments to bring out the authentic flavors of Caribbean cuisine. To start, the salmon had an overwhelming amount of jerk sauce, which masked the natural flavor of the fish rather than enhancing it. In traditional jerk cooking, the fish or meat is typically seasoned well before any sauce is added to bring depth to the flavors. Here, it felt as though the salmon relied solely on the sauce for seasoning, resulting in a bland interior with only a spicy exterior. Reducing the sauce and seasoning the salmon with a balanced blend of Caribbean spices beforehand would allow the flavors to shine through. The rice also missed the mark on texture and flavor. Instead of the fluffy, well-seasoned rice I expected, it was mushy and lacked any distinct seasoning. Caribbean rice dishes are often bursting with aromatic spices like thyme, garlic, and scallions, which were missing here. It may be beneficial for the restaurant to refine their rice preparation to achieve the right consistency and incorporate more authentic seasoning, adding depth and a bit of texture to complement the main dish. As for the string beans, they seemed hastily prepared. Some still had their stems attached, which detracted from the overall presentation and eating experience. Additionally, they were completely unseasoned, making them taste flat and out of place next to the bold jerk sauce. A touch of garlic, pepper, or even a light sprinkle of sea salt could elevate this simple side, making it a more integral part of the meal. While seasoning can enhance flavors, it's not simply about adding salt, which often seemed to be missing here. Caribbean cooking thrives on a wide variety of spices and herbs, like thyme, allspice, and scotch bonnet peppers, to bring richness and complexity to each bite. Consulting local Caribbean chefs or community members could give the restaurant insight into how to layer these flavors, creating dishes that resonate more authentically with the cuisine. Interestingly, the shrimp salad I ordered was a standout item. The shrimp were plump, well-seasoned, and balanced perfectly with the fresh salad ingredients, showcasing the restaurant's potential. This dish proves they can create flavorful, balanced dishes, and applying the same attention to the jerk salmon could make it equally memorable. In conclusion, there's a lot of potential here, and with a few refinements, the restaurant could make the jerk salmon and other dishes a lot more flavorful and authentic. Drawing on the knowledge of locals and fine-tuning their approach to seasoning could make a world of difference, and I hope to see those changes the next time I visit. read more

I was surprised that this is a carry out only place, but the food was really good. There is no dining area as a result of it being carry out only. The service was friendly and quick. I would give an above average rating overall. read more

Edit: The owners reached out personally to remake the order. I appreciated the consideration and will assume they must have had an off day. The restaurant is carry-out only with good service. We ordered a few of the featured items off of the brunch menu. Unfortunately, the food was bland, misleading, and small in servings sizes. The Big Daddy was far from big and contains only 1 slice of bacon. The Mama T was better in taste but sad in quantity. However, the biggest problem were the home fries. When ordering you can see pictures of home fries on the menu. What we received was far from what was shown. Instead of the tradition cube shape that was advertised in the picture in the menu, we received thin flaccid slices of potato that were incredibly bland. I had to season them myself when I got home. I received better rations when I was on the run in Greece. Hopefully, their lunch and dinner menu is better for anyone who wishes to try this place, but I suggest considering another breakfast spot. read more

Burger tasted just like a frozen patty. I was very disappointed. Service was fast. And they were polite. Food just wasn't good.

HORRIBLE! Do Not Eat There! this restaurant has a mixed bag of things on the menu and the kitchen staff doesn't know how to prepare ANY OF THEM PROPERLY! the collard greens tasted like collard greens water! NO SEASONIN! NO SMOKED TURKEY! NOT ONE GRAIN OF SALT OR PEPPER LET ALONE A DASH OF LOWREY's SEASONING! WHO can mess up a patty melt? Grill No 13 can, bread too greasy with butter! It's supposed to be toasted, angus patty dry and stiff as shoe leather. If you're going to be a cheapskate and hire "foreign nationals" to work as your kitchen staff, PLEASE! make sure that they AT THE VERY LEAST KNOW HOW TO COOK! I'm giving Grille No13 a Minus 0 out of 10. read more

Cute little Irish pub. We came here for brunch. I ordered a little mama and got the eggs and an omelette style with cheese and also grilled chicken. Babe, got the create your own omelette, and he used egg whites with turkey and cheese! We also ordered a few flavors of the mimosa... Kind of creating our own flight. The flavors we included were pineapple, mango, apple and pomegranate. I also got a coffee... All of the mimosas were delicious. Our favorite was the pineapple !! Our server was awesome and attentive. He always had a smile. Omelette and chicken were a little well done for my liking, but overall we had a great experience for a chill Sunday morning! read more

We made a meal out of appetizers. -Mozzarella sticks (we): crispy with the perfect cheese pull -Southern Maryland Crab Dip (he): I'm allergic to shellfish, so none for me. He said it was good though. -Sliders w/fries (we): juicy, medium-well and delicious -Booze: on the rocks and plenty of liquor --an Irish take on a Long Island Ice Tea (he) --something with rum in it (me) This was MUCH better than our first visit (St. Patrick's Drive location) a few years ago. We dined on the patio and enjoyed the sunshine. It was an extra bonus to have the area all to ourselves. What a great way to celebrate Sweetest Day :-) read more

I have not been here and so long, so imagine my surprise that there was a post that I did not post about this beloved establishment. Let me tell you something. Grille 13 is and always has been an amazing business. The food is excellent and the service to the community is even better! People really have nothing else to do but hack, it's awful. I love Grille 13 and stop on by, you will too!!! Oh by the way, get your cakes from there too! My birthday cake was deliciously baked here. read more

I'm following up from my last review because the owner responded with something that I want to clear up. In my first review I stated that after I was seated, I waited for about thirty minutes without being seen before I left. The owner, Katie, replied to my review and said that she checked the camera history and saw that I seated myself. It's hilarious to think that I would be so unaware to the point where I would go past the hostess and seat myself. Why would I do that? Have I never been to a restaurant before? I'm sorry but that sounds accusatory, and is COMPLETELY incorrect and untrue. I even had my girlfriend call ahead of time and ask if there was a wait and the hostess told her that there was no wait. When we got there, an older lady sat us down. I'm assuming she worked there because she was literally sitting behind the hostess table and wearing the uniform. Oh and my girlfriend called back to ask for the manager and complain about our experience, the manager said that she (the lady that sat us) was new and this was something that had happened before. I just wanted to circle back because I feel as though my integrity as a paying customer was being put into question. read more

We started off with the mussels sautéed in bacon, garlic and onion were very good. So good we ordered two pounds between the three of us. Only comment is that I like my mussels not as cooked well. They were still delicious and the garlic toast was perfect to dip in the generous sauce. I also ordered steamed spiced shrimp with Old Bay and the Brussels sprouts. The spiced shrimp was steamed perfect not well done like the mussels. The Brussels sprouts were tasty and not roasted (the usual) but probably sautéed. My friends had: the Fish & Chips, no complaints about the meal; and the Steak & Guinness Stew, the only comment was that the vegetables in the stew were semi cooked, for being a stew - meaning the vegs should've been softer. Overall, the dining experience was good, our waiter was attentive and the atmosphere was subdued. A nice quiet and overall pleasing evening. read more

Not worth the stop...The tables, food quality and decor is straight up raggedy. The bar area is not bad with a jukebox, five tvs and drinks... but since it is a whiskey bar, you should consider ordering whiskey because the wine selection is trash! The service was not bad and they are very accommodating. Frozen food fried to perfection with no flavor... pass there are better places to spend your money in Waldorf. read more

This is one of the best restaurants around! The whiskey challenge is a great touch! We had Lauren tonight and she was WONDERFUL! Food is still wonderful and service was outstanding!

Gave this spot a try by ordering curbside pickup. The 'curbside' didn't actually happen lol. My husband had to go in to get our food, and there was a bit of a wait. Somehow, there was a mixup and the staff couldn't locate my order. Eventually, we got my food. Due to the mixup, it was quite hot when I got it. However, my food was still good. I got the fish and chips. The sweet potato fries were not my favorite but the fish was seasoned well. The second time we tried the food, my husband got a burger and I got the salmon. Both of us enjoyed our meals. Despite the hiccups, we would come here again. read more

Stumbled upon this hidden gem today and my family and I are super impressed.

I decided to finally try this restaurant. I've heard mixed reviews for a while now. Overall, the experience was worth it. I went during lunch time with my bff. The restaurant was very clean , and the staff was very friendly. They have QR code menus and paper ones as well. The menu was a decent size. They offer a variety of "pub style" food. I was going to order the fish and chips but decided on a patty melt instead . Everything was delicious. I would recommend checking them out if you are tired of the chain restaurants in Waldorf. read more

Grille No. 13 - St Patty's Melt with sweet potato fries. - Irish Near Me - Waldorf, Maryland

Rating based on karaoke experience (great time!) and drinks (patron margarita). Eat before you come though cause food here is bland and unexciting. I've had the wings, fish & chips, which both wasn't fresh. Ive also had chicken quesadilla, which had a weird tangy bbq-like flavor. Something to be said about an always empty dining area. Something wrong with sewage cause it smells, especially in bathroom. Scared to wash hands here in bathroom. I hope yall get it together, much potential to be great! read more

So, this is my first review ever & it's unfortunate that I have to start off this way. My boyfriend wrote a review for this restaurant and got a response from the owner that I have to comment on. Backstory: We came here for our regular Thursday date night. I called prior to arriving to see if there would be a wait for a table for two. The lady who answered the phone told me there was no wait so we went in. We walked into the restaurant & the hostess asked us if we were the ones who called. We had a little laugh & she walked us to our table. This is where things went wrong. We sat for about 30 minutes & no one came to our table, not even to get our drink orders. We waited and waited, so finally I flagged down another waitress & asked if she knew who our server was or if she could find us one. Again, we waited and waited until enough was enough. We decided to leave. After we left, I decided to call & ask to speak to a manager, just to let them know what happened. Fast forward to today: My boyfriend shows me that the owner commented on his review, telling him that she checked the cameras and saw that we sat ourselves & that's why we had no server. Now, there's a few things wrong with this. First, why would we walk into a restaurant & seat ourselves? We're not animals. Second, how could she know what night it was, & who we were? Sounds to me like this has happened to another couple. Smh. When I called to complain, the manager said that this has been happening a lot lately. Don't blame your customers for poor service. Overall, the food is good & I would have loved to keep going, however the service has been lacking & to be blamed for not being served has left a sour taste in my mouth. Final thoughts: Overpriced & Underserved. read more

Overall this is a good place. Portions are plentiful, prices are fair. Happy hour prices especially welcoming. We got a burgers, they were huge and tasty. Seasoned good, delicious meat and plenty of cheese. Also get the chicken salad and a beer. Everything was cooked good, ingredients looks fresh. Place looks clean also. Stuff here is good, they seems busy and some waiting time may occur. Overall that's a good place. read more

Half the staff, including the servers did not have on masks. And they were serving the food. I drove over an hour specifically to try this restaurant since I had seen it in tv. Just seeing unmasked servers delivering food in the midst of another COVID wave just really took away my appetite. I can't give an effective review since I was clearly biased That being said, they were out of the most popular main entre on the menu available. I'm not sure why the waitress wouldn't have mentioned that. Then couldn't explain what the different meats were. read more

This place was underwhelming. Wings were disgusting....maybe the worst I've ever had. I took one bite and sat the wing right back in the basket. The craziest part is that they gave us all drumsticks & they were on steroids. Just Huge, and not even fully cooked. I asked if they had any flats available and they brought out two. Lol still were nasty & huge. Everything here was nasty. Even my daughters Mac & cheese was nasty. My mom got steak quesadillas and it looked like a steak and cheese sandwich with shredded beef, not diced steak. lmao that's insane how cheap they did the quesadillas !! To top it off myself, (the reviewer) ordered my food before my daughter and mom. My food wasn't ready to come out until they finished their food we cancelled it all. Worst experience. I honestly have no idea who's eating there.........I cant imagine coming here on a busy day (They had nobody to cook for but us, the restaurant was completely empty on a Wednesday during happy hour) read more

Soooo grille no.13. What can I say? This restaurant holds a special memory for me that I won't get into but besides that, when I initially went about a year ago I was curious about this new spot that use to be MImi's restaurant. It's like a pub setting with average decor and traditional American food. The menu consist of wings, burgers and a few other items. I've been twice last year and I thought the food was just so so this time I decided to pick items that seem to never fail me. I had the wings appetizer and a garden salad. Would you believe they charge extra if you want all flats instead of the drums and flats? I have NEVER in my almost 50 years on this earth heard of charging for all flats lol. Well Of course I went again and got all flats because yeah, that's the best part of the chicken and wouldn't you know they brought me drums and flats . ( I was not charged extra) Oh well I'll go again because I'm all about supporting local businesses and I got to use my yelp 2 dollar off coupon. read more

Grille No. 13 - Menu - Irish Near Me - Waldorf, Maryland

Last night was my third time trying Grille No. 13 and unless it is for corned beef and cabbage i won't be back. The menu items sound delicious in theory, and I would like an alternative to all the chain restaurants in waldorf. Understanding this is in waldorf, i don't expect stellar service to begin with. i called in a take out order and had to remind the person that my entree came with a salad. but unsurprisingly the salad was not in the bag when i got how. (standard for waldorf area service, not anything against this establishment). i ordered the chicken cordon which i mistakenly believed to be like a chicken cordon bleu. it is described as hand breaded and fried chicken on top of potatoes, topped with ham, cheese, and a sauce. though that is what came out it looked nothing like a chicken cordon bleu on top of mashed potatoes. #1 it was deep fried chicken, like from KFC, not breaded and pan fried like chicken cordon bleu. (who deep fries a deboned chicken breast?) mind you, chicken cordon bleu needs to be pounded thin, so it should be a really thin slice of pan fried chicken not some fried monstrosity. then, instead of a thin layer of ham topped with swiss it was two huge slices of ham steak with a layer of cheese melted between them (what???) so basically, i got a pile of mashed potatoes with a piece of fried chicken topped with two ham steak slices. the cheese was invisible. the dubliner (edited) eggrolls were good last time but this time they were a bit overcooked, still edible. the fries are really good. the burger sliders were also edible but nothing to write home about. (just meat and cheese on a bun). the dubliner dip was also ok, but my husband will eat most anything. he was not excited about it. The last time I went was some years ago and I can't recall what i got but i do remember being disappointed in the quality. the first time i went (at the old location) i got corned beef and cabbage (then just a st paddy's day special but now a permanent menu item) and it was really good. so if i try it again i'll stick with corned beef and cabbage for sure. i don't want to give up on them yet but not a great track record.... read more

My daughter and I went to this establishment on June 9th for lunch. We order appetizers; mozzarella sticks and crab dip. WoW the portions were nice size to my surprise. My daughter order Sant Fe Chicken burger with potatoes tart. I order Wings/BBQ with potatoes tarts. OMG the food was excellent and large portions. The chips that came with the Crab Dip were so good! Our waitress Amanda was so cheerful and polite. Now the Manager was absolutely compassionate with the quest. Thoughtful and pleasant. Oh yeah, will be going back real soon. Must try there desserts.

The food was freshly made and great taste. The cleanliness of the food was delightful because I have a sensitive tummy and had no aches.

Can't rate the food because I haven't been given the opportunity to eat there. But the Service is basically trash in the simplest sense of the word. The first time attempting to go, they got a pass from me based on the fact it was St. Patty's day and it's an Irish bar.. even though we got there around 6:45pm for a party of 2 and were quoted an hour wait... after about 2 hours and no word from the establishment, I called to asked for an update and was told the kitchen was behind an hour so it would be an additional hour before we were seated.. Aggravated at this point I still said OK.. needless to say we NEVER got a call back or a response from the restaurant during this event.. but.... I gave them a pass. Fast forward to tonight.. I called the restaurant at 8:39pm exactly (I have the call log to prove it). Asked what time the kitchen closed and was told specifically "either 10 or 11pm"... arrived around 9:20pm.. not too long after I called and of course was told the kitchen was closed but we could drink at the bar smh.. when I asked to speak to the manager about this all she stated was "I'm sorry. I remember your phone call asking when the kitchen closes but I guess it was a miscommunication between me and my servers.. I'll work on that." No other consolation. Obviously she didn't care and the establishment as a whole doesn't care as well this has been a repeat experience. Again can't speak on the food but don't expect any decent customer service from this establishment considering the numerous other establishments in the area. read more
