Griffins Steakhouse gave us a completely exceptional dining experience! My friend went with a dry age ribeye, and I went with the petit filet. We asked for both medium-rare, and when they arrived they were nicely marbled, seasoned to perfection, and cooked exactly as requested. Both of us couldn't have been more satisifed with the food, and the service was every bit as good; attentive without being obtrusive. The ambiance was lovely, the Chianti our server recommended paired perfectly with our steaks, and the dessert he recommended was a delicious end to a perfect meal :-) Despite the fact that the prices here are more than a bit high, even for Stockholm, the quality of the food and the service were 2nd to none - highly recommended!!

Grill is a quirkily decorated steak place in central Stockholm. Despite the eclectic furnishings,…read morethe actual menu is pretty standard and will be familiar from other steakhouse type places. The menu selection is quite broad, although the set of appetizers didn't have a lot of appeal for our group. There were several things in the main section that I wanted to try. Cost is pricey as one might expect for a steakhouse. Service was mixed. It sometimes took a while to find a person to help and everything didn't come as fast as we'd like, but the actual order was delivered well, and everyone's food was hot and correct. At all times the service was polite and friendly. Food quality was good. Meats were great. Sides were ok. I had the smoked pork belly bites (great, but too little!), and the lamb (very good). My wife had the lobster appetizer (great but a bit big for a starter), and a steak (good). They brought a variety of potato sides (though surprisingly only one was on the menu) which were fine, though the fries were disappointing. Overall, this was a good place I would return to, but not amazing. I wish the menu had been a bit more unusual and lived up to the decor.

For lunch this place is awesome! They only have one menu item each day, but then you are forced to…read moretry something new. The meat is good quality, and cooked right and served with something decent (okay, usually potatoes of some sort...). The portions are excellent too! And with plenty of bread available to soak up the juice. On top of that, the decor of the place is really nice. It's Vasastan roadhouse classy. When you see it, you'll get what I mean I think. I can't comment on coming here for dinner. It seems much more expensive so might not seem as worth it. But for Lunch it's great!

We were afforded the opportunity to dine at numerous different and local places, but this was by far the BEST. The menu (yes, in English) had so many choices (and I am vegetarian) that it was very hard to pick one. (Sadly, we were only here for 1 day, or I would have come back). Inside (unique, memorable decor) and outdoor (it's in a plaza) dining available. Busy Saturday afternoon with warm weather, we were still able to find a great table. You order inside and the food is brought to your table. A+ for presentation//flavor/and serving size. Don't miss this wonderful dining experience!

(Don't send this to her though, our little secret) The service was outstanding, it felt like you were at someone's dining table, if that someone ran a tight restaurant. Reasonable prices and just a fun night out. Don't hesitate to try it now.

All of the food was very good, with the exception of the nachos (and even those were fine, just not very nacho-like, more of a build your own kit).

Honestly, one of the best meals I've had in some time. We ended up ordering a selection of starters…read moreand then the stew. The first thing we tried was the deep fried pickles, which I thought was awesome - yet that was probably the worst thing we ended up getting. The stew is frankly amazing. It's like a barbecue gumbo (but better than that sounds). It's so meaty, and yet the broth itself is this rich liquid which is like the essence of barbecue itself. It came with the best cornbread I've had outside of the United States (although I come from the UK which basically takes the opportunity to mess up cornbread every time I've had it). The pulled pork croquettes were also stand outs, as was just the overall service. Super friendly, and just chatting but in an unobtrusive way. Even though we were completely stuffed, we ordered the banana pudding. This was a very good choice, but I have to say that it's only the second best I've ever had. The first is Magnolia Bakery in New York, so frankly it's still quite the compliment!! Just so good. If I was in Stockholm longer, I'd be tempted to come back.

I read online it used to be a silver factory, hence the name AG. It had a bit of an industrial vibe. It was also one of the rowdier places we went to with lots of people dining over drinks and steaks. Seemed pretty packed. Our seats were very close to the tables next to us. There were also a lot of large rounds with big groups celebrating. My husband was only able to make a reservation for this place at 9pm, but we headed over early and asked if we could grab a drink at the bar and get seated earlier if a table opened up. The bar has its own menu separate from the restaurant, which also looked pretty good. Lucky for us a table opened up before we could finish or very delicious and also very large gin cocktails from the bar. The food was delicious, but very heavy and the portions were huge. We shared pate appetizer and ordered a meal meant for one person to share. It was a huge steak with salad, potatoes, and tomatoes. I felt like the waiter was a bit pushy on wanting us to get more but we were pretty stuffed. We did also split a dessert, which I have no memory of. It was potentially a cheesecake and it was not worth the calories.

Let me start by saying the only reason this place gets 4 stars is because it's a BBQ place in…read moreStockholm. As a guy who spends weekend smoking brisket and pork butts, getting BBQ out is usually disappointing in the states, let alone Sweden. I was either very homesick or super curious about what Swedish BBQ would be like. In hindsight it was a little of both. Ordered a cocktail and the BBQ sampler. Cocktail was fine. The menu is littered with sweet cocktails like many restaurants. Was hoping for something boozy but that's not to be found. The sampler was good overall. Portions were sufficient but certainly small by American standards. Not sure that's the appropriate frame of reference but it is smaller. Highlights/ Lowlights - let's start with the key differentiator of good BBQ, brisket. The brisket had good bark and was smokey but no smoke ring makes me think it was liquid smoke. It was cooked well but a cardinal sin was committed. The brisket was cut in the wrong direction making it stringy. - variety of sides and veggies were nice. Pickled items were good. Potato salad was unevenly cooked. - cornbread tasted good but fell apart in the hand -BBQ sauce and chipotle sauce were nice. BBQ didn't quite fall into Texas or KC style. It was thick but had a sweet and sour taste. Not bad but not Texas. - ribs were rough. Short little ribs that were over cooked. They weren't baby back. Just the small end of spare ribs. Or maybe they were cut. - fried chicken was good. It was thigh meat cut away from the bone. Tasted good but if you're looking for a traditional fried chicken, you'll be disappointed. - sausage was actually the highlight of the whole meal. It had a crispy skin and good flavor. Was almost like a Chinese sausage. All in all a good experience. Not the best BBQ in the world but certainly good for being in a Nordic country. Would recommend it if you keep and open mind about where you are.

This bar/restaurant offered me a small piece of Austin during my travels. I can say I didn't eat here because I typically avoid American dining while traveling aboard.

Overall a cool place and would recommend all to check it out.
