The service was great but unfortunately the wife's meatloaf was considerably overcooked even showing a burnt side and tasted the same, see attached photo. We will be back as every kitchen has an off night and the service was great.

Food and service was amazing. Had to drive out to largo for work and decided to stop here to eat. Our waiter was super attentive and made sure we got in our happy hour orders before the cutoff. Everything came out super quick and was delicious. Would recommend. Environment was good as well.

This review is for our favorite server Brandi D. This young lady always makes sure that we are well taken care of, pays attention to details, ensures that we are comfortable and happy with our choice of menu items and how the items are prepared. She is very cheerful and extremely pleasant during each of our dining experiences. Always greets us with a smile!! If you are visiting during the weekdays, be sure to ask for her, you will not be disappointed! Jim & Donna M. Auburndale

So I was in town for some training and decide to try this place based on reviews. It was easy to find in a plaza and of course had plenty of parking. The decor was warm & wood, I thought it looked very nice. I grabbed a high top at the bar and the service friendly. I wanted some steak and to eat a little bit lighter so I ordered the steakhouse wedge salad. It came out fast and looked great! I was sad to find the steak was over cooked. I ordered it medium but it finished as well. Of course with a wedge I'd expect to cut up the lettuce but on this one I also had to cut the tomatoes and bacon too. I would of preferred if those two were done for me. The dressing it came with was a ranch blue cheese which was so delicious. All together, I really enjoyed it and it had a really good flvaor. Even with the steak being over cooked, which I did expect better. I wpuld give them another shot and see if the cook was just having an off night. I even considered coming back another night for a different steak, but didn't. If you're in the area and were considering trying them, I'd say swing by and do it.

Outstanding. We met for brunch for my daughters birthday and we made a good decision. Our food was delicious, the server was kind and efficient. Between the family we ordered two appetizers, fish tacos , salmon , margarita flatbread and the bang bang shrimp were poppin . To finish it off her birthday desert was bananas foster, omg to die for. The decor in the restaurant is nice and intimate, football showing in the bar. Good stuff as we will return again soon for that desert !

Coming from California and I knew I had to come check this place out again . The food never fails . The restaurant is located in a perfect spot . I ended up doing reservations in advance because I've heard this place sometimes has a long wait time. Our waitress was such a pleasure and explained everything and what dishes are popular ... Always a full house here from what I saw . Love the woodsy decoration Everyone at the table loved their dishes all were very tasty and none of them were bad at all. The drinks were a hit also. All the steaks were for sure a stand out . The bisque could have used a bit more help when it comes to density and flavor. Burgers were for sure a great choice. Overall a great spot to have dinner , will be coming back here to try out other dishes 9.2/10

Reservations are recommended F-Sun. Parking can be challenging but the trick is to target the outlier lot by the two hotels and have a nice walk to the building. Last visit: Coca-Cola Ribs were dry and didn't fall off the bone. So thank goodness for the sauce but I ran out since the container was small. Green beans were firm, maybe a bit too much but better than the ribs. Side salad was perfect and adds an extra $2 charge if selected as one of your sides. A good choice is the sea bass. Price is fair. Sauce is good. Salmon is also good. Both are recommended for the seafood lover. Service was great by Brett, who has been at this location for many years. He was the highlight of the visit. Ambiance is nice, as is the case at most Grillsmiths, but we were placed at the table nearest the bathrooms so there was a lot of foot traffic.
