Uh, YUM. Love these guys, their energy is so personable, and the food - Oh. My. Goodness! Excellent dry rub on meats and delicious food. Ribs fell right off the bone and was such a big hit, wish we had more so I could've taken them home! Great to chat and coordinate events with. Ordering online can be a tad tricky but Mike the owner is very attentive to helping out with pricing and estimates. Really lovely to work with -- shout out to the crew too, Lex & AJ you both rock! Loved having Grill Sergeant for catering our picnic and hope to have them again for other upcoming company events! read more

The food here is insanely overpriced. I had a turkey sandwich for around $7, which was literally just slices of turkey on a bun. My friend also paid around the same amount for a hot dog with cheese and marinara sauce. However, the staff here seems very nice, and the service is quite fast. read more

Map for directions is wrong and phone number is disconnected. We just drove around Ace Hardware on HG Trueman Rd area for 25 minutes because that's where Maps said they were located. read more

Came out to Solomon island on a random day trip and drove past and stoped cause of the look and was completely surprised on how awesome the place is. Amazing size of there shrimp. There crab cakes are perfect. Massive amount of meat and not to much breading. Would recommend for anyone who was a beach front Resturant with out being able to have the ocean. A must stop and eat at. read more

The Grill Sergeant Bbq - The sand and fun - Barbeque Near Me - Solomons, Maryland

I will never really be able to write a review for the Grill Sergeant BBQ. Looking for a place to eat on our trip to Solomons Island today and we were a bit hungry. We found this place on Yelp and we thought it would be a good of choice. We pull up at 11:30 and we're told by a young lady that they open at 12. We told her ok "we will find something to do and come back then". Upon our return at 11:55 she was standing outside and went in the door to open. Great. We stand at the window at 12:01 and we see her with someone in the back. With no acknowledgement whatsoever we go next door to see if there is food at the tiki bar. The woman at the bar said she would go over to see what is going on because the open sign is not on. As she does the girl at Sergeants turns on the open sign, puts her condiments and tip jar on the window sill. We head back across, stand at the window and...nothing. At this point (12:09) the girl was standing 3 feet in front of us on the other side of a closed window and wouldn't even look at us. I then went to the Tiki bar and told the woman that it wasn't worth her or my effort. So there you go. No review of the food and you won't get one from me. Check my review of Island Hideaway though! I am happy Sergeants had poor service. read more

It was not clear to me at first that this is, more or less, a carryout with no tables at all. There is a bar next door and in the "ally" between the two buildings is a faux tiki outdoor bar area with sand, umbrellas deck chairs, etc. It was very much a "we haven't grown up, and smoke while drinking bud light out of a can" kind of crowd. But that can be good if the food lives up to the hype. We asked at the BBQ and they said go eat in that area-- it was not at all clear that it was OK or expected. I wanted ribs, but without a table that seemed like a bad idea. I got a pit beef sandwich. It was kind of dry and flavorless. My son and his friend had a pit turkey, which was much better. The fries were just OK, the onion rings were clearly from a bag and the fried pickles were underdone. Whatever, we were all eating and I was not going to complain. Then,1/2 was through eating, a bouncer comes over and says that we have to leave--at 7PM it is 21 and over. It was 7:20 and we had come in after 7--the time stamp on my receipt said as much. They went as far as to walk the boys out while my wife went to get bags and foil to wrap things up. There is no sign saying any of this. Had I not had the kids there I'd have plopped the 1/2 eaten food down and asked for my money back. To sum it up, if you like Dundalk on a Friday night and want to eat below average food on beach chairs and be treated poorly, be my guest. read more

Disclaimer: If you don't like real ribs (or if you cut the fat off of pork and chicken before you eat it), this is not the place for you. Do you know what I am saying? I am so glad this place was open on July 4th. We spent the morning calling places like Mission BBQ...only to be disappointed that they weren't open. Let me just say their ribs are SOOOO good! I mean pork is already good to begin with, but they make it EXCELLENT. We even tried their chicken wings and they are also excellent. In my humble opinion, chicken is a mediocre protein, but the Grill Sergeant somehow turns this mediocre protein into something amazing. Their fried pickles are also great because they're perfectly crispy (so many places make fried pickles that end up soggy). read more

It's so convenient to the Tiki Bar. Fried pickles were pretty good. We took the minced pork (recommended by cashier) and full slab of ribs (boasted as best in Maryland on menu) to go for the boat. The servings are HUGE! Could feed a family of 3-4. The minced pork was pretty tasty but a smidge vinegary. The ribs sadly, were dry and appeared burnt. The $22 spent on the slab feels wasted. However the portions sizes for the sandwich and fried pickles seemed reasonable for the price. Not sue if we will return. Still curious about the pit beef sandwich and cheesesteak. The staff was wonderful! Attentive, service was quick and they were ready with quick recommendations from the menu. read more

The Grill Sergeant Bbq - a hamburger wrapped in foil - Barbeque Near Me - Solomons, Maryland

Having had great slow smoked BBQ and having 2 BBQ pits of my own, I looked forward to trying out the Grill Sargent's BBQ fare. I ordered a minced pork and sliced pork sandwich. You'd never have known the meat on either of these sandwiches had ever been in a BBQ pit, not even a hint of smoke. I even asked for some outside bark on the sliced pork, and after tasting it it tasted just like it had been roasted in an oven. From a culinary standpoint, barbecue is a cooking method that involves fire and smoke. Lacking the smoke, it's not BBQ. For $21 for 2 pork sandwiches and a soda, these guys are real proud of their oven cooked pork. If the ribs and other fare are as smoke free as the pork, which I suspect they might be ( I never even smelled a hint of hickory, oak or maple smoke near the place), save yourself the time and to to a good BBQ place like Bear Creek. read more

Hired this guy to come to a two day Music Fest to help raise money for the Special Olympics and serve his BBQ and he never showed up!! Several calls to him and his so called restaurant and he would not return any calls. So I would suggest going to any other restaurant you can find. The only resaon he got a one star rating was because they did off anything less than that. read more

The meat fell off the bone. Not dressed up, just great ribs on a stack of fries and it was the best I've tasted in a long time. I'm sorry I live so far away, I can't just drop by and pick a slab when my heart desires, but it would be worth the trip to travel back. OMG soo good. read more

Fantastic. Terrific memphis ribs, outstanding pork sandwich.

Love the owners and despite being a vegan wannabe I can't resist a plate of the best pulled pork, pig wings, fried green beans after one or a few tasty libations from the Tiki next door. read more

Some of the worst barbecue I've had hands down in my life. The meat was dry and they were out of hot sauce. I spent $8 on a sandwich and they will never get any of my money ever again. I actually threw away my sandwich because it was that bad and dry read more

The food is edible after you have enough drinks from tiki bar. There are much better options if you walk down the street. I wouldn't have left a review until I saw a dually dodge pickup with the business logo magnet on the side driving like a ****. Possibly the owner? If it is he obviously puts as much effort into being courteous to others on the road as he does into the customer service and the turkey sandwich at his business. read more

Wow the pig wings, Cole slaw and onion rings were well worth the long drive. Perfectly cooked, heavenly flavor and more than enough to satisfy even the biggest hunger attack. Enjoy your carry out out at the point just around the corner or grab a table at the TiKi bar with a tall cold one. Leave with very happy tastebuds read more

Heard about the 3 little pigs sandwich since I started working in the area a year ago. Wish I would have gotten it sooner. 1 of best sandwiches ever just a little over priced read more

I purchased a slab of ribs to go with my drink from the tiki bar. The ribs at grill SGT BBQ in Solomons were DRY and TOUGH ...too bad to eat. It tasted like it was cooked too fast on high heat. I noticed that they had a large smoker on a trailer in the parking lots. Apparently, they don't use it. (I guess I'm used to slow cooking ribs with indirect heat from other places. I prefer my meat moist and falling off the bone.) Save your $23 money. Good ribs, don't need sauce. If you're in Solomons, eat seafood instead. read more

We tried this place last weekend. The place was a bit busy as a result of a dog rescue event. We tried the sliced pork and sliced beef BBQ sandwich along with an order of fries and onion rings. We've tried a lot of BBQ places and the sandwiches here just didn't seem to stand out. I trust they have their own smoker on premises. But the meat by itself just didn't have much flavor. And I think the biggest challenge was the service or setup. It was frustrating to get a take out order and not have someone remind us they don't put BBQ sauce in the bag before walking away. And the BBQ sauce container sits outside the walk up window in a large pump container that barely worked. And the sauce just didn't add much to the sandwhich. And while I wouldn't put much weight on fries at a BBQ place, they were OK at best - a mix of straight cut and crinkle cut, which was odd. Soda's are limited to canned drinks. We wanted to like the place - we skipped past the oyster and crab cake places to try BBQ. Perhaps it was just an off day.... but I wouldn't come back given other choices on the Island. read more
