    Mediterranean Wild Shrimp & Salmon 8oz
    Briana J.

    I love this place. The food is awesome. The servers are sweet. The hostesses are welcoming. Unfortunately, there is a manager...a taller gentleman who is sort of rude. But I wouldn't let him ruin my long distance relationship with Grillsmith. Especially because the other manager who is just slightly shorter than him (he wore a dark floral shirt on Mother's Day) is very kind and caring.

    Filet with Mac & cheese, perfectly cooked
    Larry S.

    Went to GrillSmith for the first time on Veteran's Day. I was amazed by it. Most places are a simple sandwich or burger or dessert. Theirs were full menu and what a menu! Because of the crowds, they suggested we come around 7:30 PM or later. We arrived about 7:45 and only had about a 10-minute wait. They were very considerate and thoughtful to offer a dinner on Veteran's Day for those that have protected our country, often with their lives. I served 24 years with the Navy & Marine Corps and was proud of my service, including a tour in Vietnam. Thank you for all of our Veterans. And thanks for the Fallen Soldier table tribute. My wife ordered the Filet, Medium, with Green Beans and Mashed Potatoes. I chose the Filet, Medium Rare, with Green Beans and Mac & Cheese. After a short wait our food came. Our steaks were perfectly done and absolutely melt in the mouth tenderness. Sides were also delicious. A wonder meal and experience. This was our first visit to GrillSmith, but it most assuredly will not be our last.

    Autumn Squash and Sausage Soup
    Amanda D.

    Visited Grillsmith for happy hour and let me tell you this happy hour is Amazing! It also goes pretty late (til 7pm and all night Wednesday) so it's a great deal that's not gonna break the bank! Service was quick and good came out super fast also which I enjoyed! I loved the Thai shrimp and the eggrolls featured on the happy hour menu. It's a lite portion so if you are hungry def order more than 1 appetizer. The sangria was $7 and they filled the glass! I was so happy I was able to try the featured soup on the fall menu - Autumn Squash and Sausage! This soup was creamy and perfect for fall! I wish they weren't taking it off the menu so soon because this is one of my favorite fall soups I've tried! Going back today just to get that Autumn squash soup one last time before it's gone til next year.

    Doggy Menu
    Lori P.

    We were celebrating a belated Valentine's Day dinner and chose Grillsmith since it was dog friendly on their outdoor dining area. Since it was Monday all three of us decided to order from the Mondays @ The Smith menu which included a starter, entree and dessert for each of us. It was hard to decide what to order since everything sounded delicious. For drinks we got a beer, Smith's Sangria and Strawberry Hibiscus Margarita. For starters we got the MONDAY PUB PRETZEL, MONDAY FILET TIP EGG ROLL and The Soup of the Day which was Baked Potato. The entrees we ordered were Center Cut Sirloin with Au Gratin potatoes and mixed vegetables, Chicken Milanese with Au Gratin potatoes, and Cajun Shrimp & Chicken Pasta. We also asked for a breadstick basket. For dessert we chose two CHOCOLATE DECADENCE Cakes and one KEY LIME PIE. Everything was delicious. I really loved the Chicken Milanese as it is so delicious, unique and full of flavor. The Potatoes Au Gratin are the best I have ever had. The Chicken Milanese is a large portion so I asked for a doggy bag. Speaking of Doggy bags...they do have a Doggy Menu too. Grilled Chicken and Rice, Diced Salmon and Rice, and Chopped Hamburger and Rice are the Doggy Menu Choices. Our Doggy had already eaten so we will have to plan to order her something when we come back next time. Dining in the outdoor dining area with our dog was very pleasant with the beautiful landscaping and heaters since it was a bit of a chilly night.

    Crunchy Ahi Tuna (guac and wonton pieces are under the tuna)
    Dawn F.

    Solid choice, good service, good food. Tuna appetizer is plated very pretty but I'm not sure I'd consider it a shareable portion. Grillsmith burger was extremely good and I was happy they offered Muenster cheese.

    Brunch menu
    Aubrey F.

    Came here for book club. Great space! Service was awesome. We came for the brunch options. I ordered the Biscuits and Gravy. It comes with a buttermilk biscuit topped with sausage gravy. It comes with Parmesan herb tater tots, and a brunch side. The options for a brunch side were smoked Gouda grits, breakfast sausage, applewood smoked bacon, and Parmesan herb tater tots. I picked the applewood smoked bacon. Everything was delicious, hot, and fresh. I do wish they had a better variety of brunch sides especially since mine already came with the tater tots and the sausage gravy. Fruit would be an excellent option. Suggestion for the future. Also, the day we went the fountain machine was down. Getting a fountain drink was unfortunately not an option.

    For being a grillhouse, highly disappointed that the steak with the wedge salad was so underseasoned! Super tough sirloin too. Our drinks were good. My friend said she would not order the tacos again.

    Classic burger with nice hot French fries.

    Great food and wonderful friendly service!!! I was lucky enough to have Angela as my server twice and both times she was extremely nice and very personable. I always get the classic burger and it's always cooked the way I want it (medium rare). I can't wait to go back!

    Veteran's Day menu.

    Dignity. On our annual dinner for Veterans Day, we love going to Grillsmith Countryside because they understand the mission. The staff are kind and professional and treats each patron with dignity -- especially us veterans who take over the restaurant on this special day. And the food is amazing and served hot. So I salute you Cory and your staff for honoring us. God bless you. And God bless our United States of America!

    we originally went here soon after they opened and had an absolutely ridiculously bad time and left…read morea review for them. To be fair, we were told by the manager to call, give them another chance to make it right etc. However, we didn't call and only gave them a second chance this morning with friends. The reason I didn't call to "make it right" was I want the experience I have at a restaurant to be organic, and not get special or specialized treatment because we made a complaint. Now, on to our adventure today. We (a party of 4) arrived around 1020ish and were seated pretty quickly. The restaurant was pretty full, which was expected as it was a Sunday morning. The lady who seated us (not our waitress...tall with long dark hair) was very friendly, chatty, and funny. We appreciated her service. Our waitress was quite inattentive. We each got a cup of coffee, along with waters, iced tea, etc. Once we got our drinks and the orders were placed, we didn't see the waitress again until after the food was delivered (i.e., a very, very long time). The tall dark-haired lady finally came around and refilled our coffee/tea/water after they had all sat empty for 10+ minutes. The wait for the food was so, so, so long. We waited close to 45+ minutes for our food (nothing special, nothing fancy, straight up off the menu, no changes or alterations). This has not improved since the last time we were there and it is just baffling to me that it takes so long to get food out. The biscuits and gravy were enjoyed enjoyed, however 2 of the 4 biscuits were so hard she could not cut them with the fork, and with very very great difficulty with the knife. The tops of the biscuits were soft and pillowy but the bottom were pucks. This time the eggs seemed to have been cooked properly My husband was not happy with the omelette he got, and they took that off the bill without us asking. She did mention that she could have another order put in for him but (and these are her words), "It would take about 15 hours for you to get your new plate of food." We declined a new order and thanked her for taking it off the check. I got a sandwich and it was fine, nothing special but also not awful. Our other friend got a full breakfast platter which he enjoyed. He said the pancakes were very fluffy. So, in this updated review, I have increased the stars for the food because it wasn't *as* awful as last time, but still problematic. The worst thing, which was an issue with our first visit, is the wait time for food. It is just too. dang. long. I look at a place like Lennys, where we would have been in, seated and eating by the time we got our first coffee refill (also much too long in a breakfast place.....just....have coffee ready??). We did note when we walked in there were only 3 servers for the dining room --- perhaps they were short staffed which is why we only saw our server 4 times --- once for drinks, once to take food orders, and once to check on food, and once to drop the check. It was the lady who seated us who had a great rapport with the table, who was cheerful and friendly who can take credit for the two stars in ambience. In the end, we gave them another shot. No one at the table was impressed. The kitchen is woefully slow. The service was inattentive. we will not be coming back.

    Went here for breakfast on a Thursday morning. Not crowded at all, quick attentive, pleasant…read moreservice. Plenty of menu options. Clean place. Had the 'Classic' which is two eggs, toast, bacon or sausage, and home fries. Was just what I was looking for and I'll be happy to visit again, next time I'm in Tampa.

The salmon was, by far, the worst salmon I have ever had in my entire life. To top it off, the checkout process makes the place feel like a fast-food slop joint. They tack on a $3.39 card processing fee and completely rush you out. The server interrupted our conversation, handed over a portable machine, and said, "I'll wait right here for your card." They practically breathe down your neck while the screen prompts you for an 18%+ tip for terrible service. We won't be giving this place a third chance. Main Street is full of much better options!
