What a wonderful surprise! We weren't even planning on stopping here--we were headed to Starbucks when we spotted The Grill House and decided to give it a try for lunch. I'm so glad we did. From start to finish, the entire experience was A+. Our server, Junior, was amazing--friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. We started with the hummus trio served with fresh pita, and it immediately set the tone for the meal. The hummus was creamy and flavorful, and the fresh pita was the perfect accompaniment. For our entrée, we had the spicy chicken entree, and it was outstanding. The chicken was incredibly flavorful, but the sauce was something special--rich, savory, and so delicious that it really elevated the entire dish. It was one of those sauces that makes you stop for a second and think, wow, what is in this? We also had the house salad with their house-made balsamic dressing, which was fresh and delicious. Everything was bursting with flavor. My taste buds were smiling the entire time! We ended our meal with fresh, delicious baklava, which was the perfect finishing touch. There's something special about finding a great restaurant completely by accident. Excellent food, wonderful service, fresh ingredients, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere turned an unplanned lunch into such a pleasant experience. The Grill House was an unexpected gem, and we're already looking forward to coming back! Thank you Adam we will back Rick & Lorrie Anne read more

One of my favorite restaurants for over ten years. Every time I go it's better than the time before. Post covid world has not been kind to small business to see this amazing place still keep its value and integrity is amazing. A little slice of Syria for me. Sitting next to the waterfall will my hooka and maza I recently order a bowl for lunch and it was amazing !!!! I remember I wanted to review. Its owner operated. I'm planning on having my mom's 60th birthday here rent it out. They also cater which is awesome. A lot of middle eastern restaurants but nothing beats the vibe here read more

One of my favorite places to go! The beautiful outdoor space is absolutely perfect for enjoying hookah, with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the atmosphere without feeling crowded or sitting too close to other guests. It's such a refreshing change from places where everyone is packed into a small space! The food is always great, and what makes the experience even more special is George, the manager. His beautiful smile, warm personality, and genuine hospitality make you feel so welcome every time. He has a wonderful way of making you feel like you're his favorite guest! Between the delicious food, lovely outdoor atmosphere, and George's exceptional hospitality, this place has become one of my favorite spots. I always look forward to coming back! Highly recommend! read more

Fantastic customer service and delicious food! Recently ate there for my birthday and loved the meals, drinks and environment. The manager George (I hope I'm spelling your name correctly!) was so nice and accommodating. Thank you for a wonderful experience! read more

Went to the grill for and engagement party and was pleasantly surprised with the Fantastic Middle Eastern cuisine. Overall the decor was great and the room space was wonderful for the events. I believe there was approximately 350 guests and each table had more than enough food to serve everyone. The servers were attentive to clearing the tables and overall that made the experience better. The only downside is single-use restrooms so that created a delay for both the men and women's bathrooms. read more

Must say not impressed with the quality of the food or the flavor. Very disappointed. I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while. Got it out of my system and won't be coming back read more

I love outdoor dining and this restaurant has a beautiful patio. It was a great place to have a glass of wine and clear my head and enjoy some quality time alone. The kabobs are perfect. The rice is delicious. The cabbage salad was also great. Hummus is fresh and pita is warm. Servers were sweet and left me alone to eat in peace. I'll be back! read more

Used to come here all the time with family and friends and it's still a place we talk about going back to. Found it during Covid when the huge outdoor patio allowed them to stay open and it quickly became one of our regular spots. The food is consistently good and full of flavor. The combo plates are usually my go to, especially the spicy combo. Portions are solid and it's the kind of meal that always hits the spot. The owner Adam is amazing and goes above and beyond for customers. Even on delivery orders he makes sure special requests are taken care of, which says a lot about how much he cares about the experience. They have a full bar and a great selection of beers on draft, and the hookah option makes it a fun place to hang out and spend time with friends. Great food, great hospitality, and a really good vibe. Definitely a spot to check out and I'll be back again soon. read more

Cute outdoor patio for all seating, note there is a smoking and non smoking side and the none smoking side fills up quick. Good was delicious, glad to have found a good authentic sit down Mediterranean restaurant. Very nice interior. Good service. Host was great and checked up on us numerous times. Will be back. Food pictured: Chicken Kebab Plate, Beef Kebab Plate, and complimentary pita. read more

Always consistent always good. The staff is so friendly , the place is charming like you're eating at home . I eat at all the Arabic/armenian spots around and sadly all of them went down in quality. I don't know why but the food is not the same but I can depend on grill house to always be delicious. I order here at least once a week. read more

Wow wow wow!!! One of the best spots I've ever been to. From the incredibly nice waiters to the delicious food and incredible outdoor patio, there was not a thing that we didn't enjoy. Live music was so much fun. The service was quick and pleasant. The ambience was incredible with a working waterfall and amazing patio lights. The food... let me just say there was not a bite that didn't disappoint. We WILL be coming back! read more

I went with friends on Tuesday and we were disappointed in the service and the food. We had the hummus , which was good, but the pita bread that came with it was cold and stale. The falafels were overcooked dry and hard. The cabbage was not tasty . The only thing worse than the food was the service. No one came back to see if we needed anything and we had to look for them and flag them down for drink refills. They were not busy at all, they just didn't seem to care. I would not recommend The Grill House. read more

Came here for dinner after wanting to visit at numerous times. We sat outside in the patio which is huge. They had a celebration for graduation with two full tables. The outside patio is very nice with a fountain. Delicious the hummus was the best I've ever had but unfortunately my salmon was a little bit overcooked. You will definitely be coming back read more

We came back to this place after a long 5 years... not sure why we haven't been back but so glad we did found them again. It's was amazingly good . The hookah was excellent and the their food was top notches. Service can't be beat. The manager keep checking in on us and very hospitality. The place was huge with nice patio. Big parking lot. We ate so fast and forget to take some ice picture of their food but half way finishing the food , I took some of their delicious food that we've ordered. Will be back for sure when we're in town . read more

The cabbage salad was bland. Beef kabob was overcooked and dry. Kafta was decent. No onion or tomatoes served with the kabobs. Rice was horrendous. Not basmati...tasted like Goya box yellow rice. Having been to Raffis and Georgies this place was an empty ghost town and I know why read more

Food is really good. We tried the kabobs that family set was good deal, very juicy. The curry was amazing. Seats under heater so cozy. Live music. Lots of parking. read more

Came for a quick lunch and hookah, was greeted after a few minutes and seated on the far right. Mentioned that I was interested in hookah and was then moved to another table for smoking section. Hookah server recommended a lemon mint flavor and it tasted very smooth. Ordered the lunch salmon filet plate that was supposed to come with hummus, cabbage slaw, pita, and grilled veggies. Didn't receive the grilled veggies, but the rest of the food was pretty good. Paired nicely with the almaza Lebanese beer. Seemed quiet for a Wednesday lunch, but did enjoy the waterfall feature they have in their outdoor patio. I asked about the grilled veggies and turns out it's just a grilled jalapeño that they then brought on the side. Nice. Will come back to try other entrees! read more

My in-laws invited us here for Mother's Day. I'm not entirely sure when or if they do indoor seating but we did the outdoor seating. I thought it was pretty nice. They were doing a Mother's Day special so we all sort of had the same thing family-style. Plenty to take home for everyone. My only cons I'd say was asking for refills a little tedious, especially with the heat. I'd come back here definitely in the future but I wouldn't recommend for pregnant mommies, as they do accommodate smoking in certain areas, but that's not something I knew prior. All in all I enjoyed my experience! read more

We had a work lunch at the Grill House. At this time of year the patio area was decorated with Xmas tree and decorations. The staff were friendly and kept our drinks filled. We ordered the salad, pita bread with hummus, salmon, chicken, beef and kabob platter which were all very delicious. Would recommend and go again. read more

Finally stopped in to eat at this establishment. The ambiance is great. Outside seating. There's a section for smoking or non. We opted for the non smoking. George was absolutely amazing, attentive and very friendly. Kept our glasses full. Our tummy's definitely full and pleased. We ordered the Prince combo for 2 and took home some leftovers. The meats are cooked perfectly and seasoned well. We will definitely be back to experience the night life. Service was outstanding. Also, I forgot my partners purse and George literally ran out to our vehicle as we were exiting the parking lot. Thank you again George!! We will see you again. read more

Love this spot... great bog outdoor seating area with heat lanps. I ordered the Lentil soup here the first time and it was phenomenal. Salad with Chicken Kebob was equally amazing. The hummus, and salad dressing were one of the best i've had and i'm def picky on my dressing. The second i tried their Falafel plate with rice, hummus and side cabbage salad and it was incredible! Everything was just perfect. read more

We had a mom's night out here. When we arrived I noticed a big party setting up for like a wedding or celebration of a couple. They brought their own additional decor for their tables. We sat very close by the big party which wasn't a problem until we noticed were we're very close by the someone that had order some hookah. Not a problem, but we had an expecting mother in our party. We asked if we could be moved and they were very accommodating. We were moved inside by their fireplace. It was nice because it was a cold night. I ordered a red sangria, I'm not sure that is what I got. I also ordered the garlic fries. Those were really good. Anytime I go somewhere that serves garlic fries I must try them. These were a hit at the table. I also ordered the steak kabob plate. It was also really good. It was a regular portion plate, not something you can share. I finished almost everything on my plate and I tend to not finish my plates. read more

Service was professional. We had a group of 12 and the family plates helped a lot to try a variety of options. It was all delicious! Feels like a secret garden location. We went during lunch hour. It was relaxing and well shaded. Handicap accessible made it easier. read more

This is a great Mediterranean restaurant with Lebanese Syrian dishes. I ordered the combination which gave me beef chunks, beef kafta and chicken kabob on rice with cabbage salad, hummus and Toum (garlic paste)! The food and service was great. Everyone was friendly and attentive. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because there was no available seating in the air conditioned dining area. I arrived late around 2pm and it was a very hot day (100 degrees F). The lounge area has smoking for cigars and it has large flat screen TVs. Otherwise I would have given a 4.5 stars minimum. Value is 5 stars. Will definitely come back when I'm in the area. read more

My new regular spot. Great food. Amazing vibes. Love the music & spacious covered outdoor seating. Gem in the IE. Manager & owner were present and a delight to spend time with. Highly recommended. read more

Second time at this location for Union and Political leaders. Great venue for large parties or family dinner. Today we had the entire left hand side of the outdoor patio area. If you just drive by, you would never know that The Grill is here. Good Mediterranean food and ambiance. However the patio, out side area get cold, so bring layers. Service was quick and tailored to our venue. read more

Our new favorite! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner out. We shared the Prince Kebab meal. Very generous portion and was so delicious. George and staff were welcoming and attentive. Definitely worth a try! read more

The food was amazing. I loved the humus. Service was great. They were always on time. Ambiance was beautiful. I will be back.

My co workers decided to come here for my co workers birthday celebration. I have never been here and been wanting to try a place with delicious Mediterranean food. Upon arrival, there are tons of parking spaces and when went inside the restaurant it look really nice. Thankfully it wasn't super crowded either since we have a party of 8. I decided to order the Beef Kebab plate and everything on my plate was delicious. The beef was hot, flavorful, and tender. The hummus to dip with the pita bread was so flavorful. I even finished the rice when I usually don't like to eat too much rice due to carb watch. I would definitely come here again and would love to take my family here to try too. The staff were very friendly, attentive, and helpful. They even brought the cake we bought and sing to our coworker. It was awesome! I highly recommend this place and I love that it's across Magic Tea since we always get tea there. read more

This old house has been a number of restaurants over the years. Now all the action is outside under a very large patio cover. Our lunch bowls were both delicious. The hummus, falafel, shawarma and rice were all well prepared and deliciously seasoned. Service is leisurely which should not be a surprise at a Middle Eastern restaurant. We took about an hour for lunch, but regulars were there before we arrived and still there when we left. If you're in a hurry consider takeout from here and dine in when you want to have a pleasant long meal with friends. The regulars were all smoking either hookah or cigars. They sat us on the opposite side of the large outdoor area. There were occasional wiffs of smoke so if you are very sensitive consider this a warning. Lunch is pleasantly quiet but I think it's livelier at night. read more

We came here for lunch in the middle of the day around 1:30pm. Not busy, pretty much empty at the time. The food is great. Lately I am usually on the fence if I got my money's worth and I felt like it was a good value for good quality. No complaints with any of the dishes. We sat in the patio area where there was lots of room. It seems like a great place to get groups together socially. read more

Dined here recently while patio renovations were happening with lots of LOUD metal drilling that clearly could have been done during non-operating hours. The staff seemed completely unbothered by the chaos, offering no apologies or meaningful accommodations it was basically a "deal with it" attitude. Combined with heavy street traffic, the experience was anything but enjoyable. I'm a big supporter of small businesses, but the service has never been consistent, and this visit was the worst. With only a handful of tables occupied at the time, you still have to hunt for help, and when you do, the staff can be rude, making you feel like you're bothering them. Considering the prices, this level of service is disappointing. Sadly, I won't be returning. read more

George was our host he was delightful and upbeat, great at making suggestions for my mother and I. The heater was on which was nice because it was a cold day and it felt so cozy. I love the stone walls and the way the ambience felt at sunset sitting on the outside lounge area of the restaurant. The potatoes were incredible and the Josh Wine pairs so well with my falafel sandwich. Lots of vegan options and very healthy dining. My mother chose the chicken kabob and loved it. read more

I've driven many times by this place and never really thought much of it. Then I started searching for lunch specials and this was one of the places recommended. Coming inside, the place looked welcoming and the staff were friendly. My wife an I just ordered the mixed grill plate for $25 . It has 3 skewers, rice, salad, vegetables, hummus, and garlic sauce. Way more for two people. Great value. Food was seasoned well. Surely going to add this one to my restaurant rotation close to work read more

This place was amazing. We celebrated my sisters birthday here. They had live music and the guy singing was great. The staff was so nice and attentive they made the experience wonderful. The food was really good, we had about 20 people and everyone raved about the food. There was 2 sections one non smoker and the other where they smoke hookah but you can't really smell anything. Highly recommend! read more

My first time coming here was with a couple of coworkers on a team lunch. It was about 11:40 on a Wednesday and we were seated quickly. There was covered outdoor seating only on this day, and it was about 93 degrees outside. You are entirely in the shade, but keep it in mind if you are sensitive to heat. I ordered the chicken kabab plate and it was delicious. The chicken was tender and not dried out as you will find in some other places. We also ordered the 3 hummus appetizers and it was great for everyone to share. The service was excellent and accommodated my coworkers need to have Diet Coke over Pepsi, by providing a can of Diet Coke since their soda machine is set up with Pepsi. The food was excellent and the ambiance was nice with the water feature off to the side to make you forget about the heat. It's probably best to come when its not too hot out, but it was doable if you go in knowing it won't be A/C. I plan on coming back here for the food and great service soon. read more

My sister and I visited the grill house for the first time on a Thursday afternoon around 4:30. The entrance was very welcoming with the decor and lights. The outdoor seating is covered in a giant tent and decorated with stringed lights which are my favorite. There was only one other table of people there at the time. The waiter was very nice and welcoming. We placed our drink orders and the nice waitress brought them out to us. She was very careful not to spill a drop as our martinis were full. However the drinks were not great. They just didn't taste good. The food on the other hand was delicious! The pita was warm, rice was flavorful, hummus was delicious and the meat wasn't tough. We both really enjoyed our meals. The only thing that dampened our experience was getting our waitress attention when we were ready for the check. He went from being attentive to distracted by what seemed like regulars coming in. We used a $10 off coupon on our bill that came out to about $80. Overall we enjoyed our meals and will return to try more. read more
