On Sunday around 530 pm we traveled 30 mins to get here. On arrival, we were immediately greeted by…read morethe wait staff and they said to seat anywhere. So we choose to set outside with a great view of the river. It was nice to see water and small fishing boat from their patio. Dogs are allowed out side, so next time we bring the little 4 legged girl. The wait staff quickly took our drink order and was back to our table in less the two mins. My wife got a house white wine - do not get this- she said is was terrible. But I got a bottle beer and was happy. The menu is full of sandwiches, burgers, salads, seafood, and dinner specials, but we just wanted a pizza. 16" round pizza was back on our table in about 20 min. The pizza was just ok ( c+ or b-) nothing to write home about. I would say the crust was considered a medium thickness and pizza was full of pepperoni. We both ate 2 pieces each and the took 4 home for leftovers. We will be back some day to try other foods. We did see a lot of burgers being service.

Stopped by Trojan Grill on a Monday night and the place was totally dead, which honestly made for a…read morenice quiet dinner. The service was really good -- friendly, attentive, and we never had to wait on anything. We started with the Bavarian pretzel and Brussels sprouts, both solid choices. My wife got the southwest salad and I had the Fire Alarm burger with fries. Burger was messy in the best way and had a nice kick without being ridiculous. Also, shoutout to the strawberry margarita because they used real strawberries instead of sugary mixer syrup, and you could absolutely taste the difference. Now for the funniest part of the night: the crab dip. Look... it tasted good. But this was less "crab dip" and more "pimento cheese with a small hint of crab There was just the faintest hint of crab in there somewhere fighting for its life. Overall though, the place has potential. Good service, decent food, relaxed atmosphere, and with a little refinement on a few dishes, I could definitely see this becoming a regular spot.

You have GOT to try this place! First of all, LeAnn our waitress (I hope I spelled your name…read morecorrectly) gave us a great intro the the restaurant and its menu, including the beers, which I myself don't drink, but my hubby does. Fabulous steak..fabulous shrimp. The Brussels sprout appetizer was extremely unique and the apple arugula salad was very good and a generous portion of each. We probably could have stopped there. Their house wheat beers, per hubby, were very good. I had the lemon drop martini..or should I say I had 3 they were that good! We'll be back...hungry for more!

I would recommend getting the mustard drizzle on the side, just to be sure it is to your taste. We also had the Crab/Corn Chowder soup. You must try it! Super delicious and flavorful.

The menu also has so many food options, making it easy to find something for everyone. The food overall was great and very enjoyable. However, I would not recommend the brownie and chocolate sundae dessert. The brownie and cookie were cold and hard, which made the dessert disappointing. On the positive side, the carrot cake was huge and definitely worth sharing -- easily enough for 3-4 people. The service was excellent as well. Our waiter was very attentive throughout the meal and made sure everything was taken care of. Overall, Second Street American delivers great food variety, strong service, and a family-friendly atmosphere, with just a few misses on dessert.

The staff was super nice the moment we walk in the door. Our Server (Emily) was supper knowledgeable and made suggestion's that where on point. Plating was nice to look at and tasted wonderful.

I had the Peppercorn Encrusted Tuna , Mushroom rice with zucchini. Portion size was appropriate and the flavor profile of our food could not be beat. The restaurant has quotes post on the walls from historical figures that I fell in love with, after mentioning this to our server, she gave me a printed list of all the quotes. Thanks for a great dinning experience!!

The cocktail was a super sweet and lovely flavor with very little alcohol bite. The entrées were good, but the superb taste of the rest of our course was an unfair comparison. Although we were full, the cannoli was worth the every discomfort of over eating. Service: 8/10 We were seated immediately without reservation. I never had to ask for a refill due to my waitress' attentiveness. She was accommodating with helping us pick out our entrées. Ambiance: 7/10 Medium volume level, clean, well lit, and cute decorations. [5 being average]
