grille works Food & Drink

My wife and i were just looking for a new place to try here in Gastonia. The strawberry margarita and spinach dip was great. Our server was very polite and made sure we were take care of. We had the chicken sizzler and the Big Bang shrimp tacos as our entree and everything was so good. Definitely returning and recommending to friends.

My husband had the 8 oz.burger and fries. I had a side salad, which was enough for two people, the lobster mac and cheese, and French onion soup. It was all good, but the French onion soup was excellent.

This was our first visit but it won't be our last. Everyone from our server (Brooklyn) to the bartender was super friendly. I decided to try the Special Crusted Chicken and I was impressed. It was served on delicious smashed potatoes and I chose the mac n cheese for my side. My fiance got the 8oz filet and said it was delicious as well. I also got a house salad with the homemade blue cheese dressing...yum! We split a piece of a homemade Reese's cheesecake and it was so good and rich. We will definitely be going back.

Food was great and service excellent. Side salad is large enough for a meal. Shrimp tacos are excellent. A number of choices for vegetarians and many csn be altered for vegans. Menu has rnough choices without being overwhelming. Entire staff is welcoming and pleasant. This will be on my list to go back to.

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, friendly staff...what more could you ask for? Had a girls spa day and found this gem on our way home. We ordered the bang bang shrimp, house salad and the lobster mac and cheese. Salad was fresh, crisp and made to order! Which is great bc my friend didn't want tomatoes and I didn't want onions. Lobster mac n cheese comes as either an entrée or side dish. The side is half the size of the entrée, but OMG IT IS DELICIOUS 😋 😍. A perfect place for date night or girls night out!

We very much enjoyed our dinner here last night. I started with the French Onion Soup and was very impressed. I try to order that from just about every restaurant I visit and honestly found this to be one of the best I've had. The Buffalo Chicken Wrap I had for an entree was also very good. It seemed very fresh, had a good amount of heat and yet was not overwhelming. The atmosphere went from relaxed when arrived at 6 pm on Friday to pleasantly lively, with good music as we passed 7 going into 8 pm. We were easily able to carry on conversations the whole time. Our waiter James was very attentive and yet did not hover, which was very nice. Overall a very enjoyable evening out with friends.

First time visiting. We loved it! No wait for dinner, pleasant ambiance, reasonably priced, good service, wide selection of American fare, great food! Will be heading back soon!
The French onion soup was so good!

The food was hot and fresh! The prices were extremely affordable!

Emma was the best! She ran the show by herself and we were very attended to! Food was delicious! Definitely try the cheese steak egg rolls! Oh MY!

They did a Prime Rib special for fathers day and it was cooked to perfection. With a baked potato and a salad there was no posable way 1 person could eat it all.

Great atmosphere, excellent service, great food!

We just got a House Salad and French Onion Soup. The salad was really fresh and a great mix of ingredients. The bowl is super cool but it isn't as practical as pretty! One side is lower than the other so when I cut up my salad, part if it flew right out of the bowl!

The French Onion Soup was phenomenal!

We will definitely go back! The menu has some really great stuff to offer!

I have been driving past this spot for too long- What a gem!!! The female bartender, Jen, was the best and holy WOW the Jalepeno Margharita was amazing! Can't wait to come back to this awesome spot.

The food was awesome. Beyond great service from the waitress Julie. The food came out hot and fresh within a matter of minutes. The drinks were well prepared and not watered down. I have been in Gastonia for a year now and can honestly say this spot has the best food I've tried so far. The location is 2 minutes from my home so this will definitely become my new spot to eat. Highly, highly recommend it as a new spot for anyone. You WILL be back.

Amazing food. Great atmosphere. Large food portions and fair prices for what you get. Loved it highly recommend anything with potatoes and their fried chicken sandwiches were on top. Great place especially for a date night. 10\10 will go again

This is the first place, in 25 yrs, that the chef actually knew how to cook a burger medium! The slaw was on point as well. Their menu is diverse and, by the taste of my burger, I feel their chef would make the rest of the menu perfect. Worth the try. Staff was super friendly and really attentive. Place was super clean too. We will be coming back!

Just found this spot after a trip to Daniel Stowe Gardens... Love it! Such a pleasant atmosphere, food was GREAT, service was attentive and friendly. Really looking forward to going back. Highly recommend it. I had the Hot Italian Sub which may not sound like much but this was crafted nicely on a homemade loaf, perfect Italian dressing, -oven toasted -- a real deli sub, not a sandwich shop sub. Homemade chips. So, so good. My friend had spicy shrimp tacos that he loved.

Stopped in for lunch with my family today (2-9-2020 ).
Nicely decorated.outside seating is available for nicer weather.
The staff was friendly and personable. Our waiter was Tino. He was very attentive.
We had the steak and cheese egg roll appetizer, it was very good and I world definitely recommend. My wife had the Cobb salad, my daughter had a house salad and macaroni and cheese with bacon. Bother salads had large portions and the mac and cheese was served piping hot in an iron skillet.
I had the hot Italian sub sandwich and a cup of chicken vegetable soup.
Everything was good and served in a reasonable amount of time.
Lunch for the three of us with the appetizer was just over $50, a good price point for the quality of the food ,service and environment.
They also have a bar area for mixed drinks.
I would certainly go there again.

I could sum up the visit in one word, delicious! The blackened salmon was perfectly cooked. The apple martini was SO good. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. Word has really gotten out about how good this restaurant is. There may be a wait to get in on the weekends but trust me, it is worth the wait.

The burger was top shelf & the giant potato wedges could only be described as " Gourmet" . My date & I both left there agreeing that we had just had the Best Burger ever !

Took the family out for dinner on Sunday and we thought we would try someplace new. The service is outstanding and the food is amazing also. I have a filet cooked medium rare and it was perfectly cooked, fork tender, and seasoned perfectly. My wife had the seafood fettuccine Alfredo and loved it. My sons had a French dip and the other a burger, both finished their meals and threatened to lick the plates clean.

The only thing I would avoid is the Diet Coke with Pickle juice, just did not sound appetizing.
