No service 30 minutes to get a water 45 for a drink Food 1 hour 30 minutes Food very very poor Wife's shrimp were barely cooked! Would take forever to send back read more

DO NOT LIKE THE WAY I WAS TREATED BY THE MANAGER WITH THE DARK HAIR. My spinach dip was cold and basically nothing but cream cheese. Got it microwaved. My sausage on my sausage and cheese plate was cold and I dealt with it. Ordered the bbq shrimp and the shrimp was lukewarm. Server seemed to have a lot of tables and was not attentive. We had to go to the bar for more drinks. Server came BACK to the table 20 minutes later and I told her my shrimp was not hot to bring me a to go box. I asked if I could have fresh bread that was not so crusty. I know crusty fresh baguette bread and this was hard from sitting too long. She went and got the owner/manager. Her first words were what's the problem when she approached the table. So she already has her mind made up how she is going to treat me. 40 years I've been in hospitality and NEVER have I approached a table without apologizing first. She said I'm not taking it off you're still paying for it. She became combative and began to argue that she brought the shrimp out straight out of the oven. Who talks to someone like that. We are financially able to dine any where we want to regardless of price, But we chose to come here. . Don't open your doors to the public and treat your Black customers like they are there for something free. We are in Arlington patronizing because we once lived in this community. We even brought friends who had never dined there before. And the fact that the owner stood 5 feet away and said ya'll good at the same time he turned to walk away, I'm sure he knew his manager was unprofessional and rude. She reheated the shrimp and put them in a togo box. Would not eat anything a person that rude snd arrogant gave me to eat. I was embarrassed that we had invited another couple and my feelings were hurt for the simple fact that I am a human being and did not deserve to be talked to in such a manner. I made this about race and feel as though they only want certain customers in their business, I will not ever return to Brendalay Grill in Arlington. read more

I will start off this would have been a 5 star review. This was our first time here. The food and drinks were so good. The wait staff we had was quick even with the Bama VS TN game. Inside was clean. HOWEVER the female owner was very hostile. We asked for a drink menu and was given two by two different staff members. None of the two staff members stated the prices were not accurate in the menu. Some people at the table ordered margaritas based off the price in the menu. The shock that was had when one of the tabs was an additional 48$ for 4 drinks when the menu stated they were 5.50 each for a regular or 7.50 for a large. When it was brought to the manager's attention, she went to the owner. The owner was very hostile and slapping her hands together borderline yelling at the table then walked away.She acted like a high school girl with an attitude. read more

The food is amazing, the drinks were perfect, the service was excellent! The atmosphere was beautiful nice vibe. I can't wait to go back!

My husband and I came here after my son's baseball game to get a quick bite which turned into a 2 hour long drawn out ordeal because of the terrible service. My 5 year old was falling asleep at the table after we waited an hour to get our food and another 45 to get our bill. Usually good wait staff can see it was clearly time to go home but no one noticed or came by to offer our check. The waitress was friendly when she did come but never apologized for taking so long. I don't think they even realize how long they take? The spinach dip was straight up gross. Tasted like sour cream with spinach and it was warm not hot. I like spinach dip to have a nice crispy top and a creamy inside with a good ratio of cheese, spinach, artichoke etc. this dip was gross, I couldn't finish it. My son and husband had burgers that were decent. Place was nice inside but we won't be coming back. Overall bad experience read more

Spectacular fun place with great food. Owner is often present and engaging with customers. Great bar crowd but also family friendly

Okay so first let me start by saying I failed miserably at taking photos of the restaurant or of our meal. DOH! The only photo I got was of the grizzlies game they were playing at the bar which I was so happy to be watching!! Now, for the food + experience... I came here with my sister and we both had the salmon - she had the salad and I had the salmon with 2 sides (rice and veggies). We both felt the salmon was perfect! Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and so much flavor. The rice was just fine alongside the salmon but on its own it was bland and pretty dry. The veggies were good but nothing to write home about. Now the bananas foster we had?! Oh snap. So so so so good. The caramelized waffle was SO freaking good. I'd go back just for that. Our waiter was so friendly and helpful but we never received refills and we were there for at least an hour so that was frustrating. We sat near the bar and the atmosphere was excellent and like I said we got to see the Grizzlies game which was fantastic and the perfect place for it. Also, I have to say the music that was playing was so complimentary to the overall aesthetic. Had a great time and would love to come back! read more

Brendalay Grill - They had the Grizzlies game on which I loved! - Steakhouses Near Me - Arlington, Tennessee

Decided to try this place for my daughter's 17th Birthday. What a joke! We went last night and it was horrible. We had reservations with Devin and he had to leave for an emergency and didn't tell the high school girls at the front we had a reservation at 7pm, so of course we had to wait 35 minutes. Sat us next to a big window where it was cold. Took an hr and a half to get our food. Our waitress never brought our drink refills after asking her many times and finally at the end we got them. Took Side of spinach and sautéed mushrooms were way too salty. My Black and Blue Salad meat was spicy even though it wasn't blackened. The chicken bacon ranch flatbread was not good at all. Supposed to be a nice restaurant from what I heard. All women and girls were wearing the Brendalay shirt or sweatshirt and leggings. No tablecloths on tables. Atmosphere was not nice at all. We will not be back. If looking for a nice restaurant, drive to Germantown and go to Stoney River. They won't loose your reservation and staff is amazing and the food is excellent. read more

But......... We loved this place, but we went there today April 26 2025 around 430 PM and there was a lady with a dog in the rear of the restaurant. No big deal right...... why was the lady letting her dog drink water from the restaurant glass? the server came by and stuck the refill pitcher back in the glass to refill it. When I asked a waitress they just shrugged and said eww and I dont know. Is this normal? or is it just me. I wont be back after years! read more

If you're looking for good food, okay drinks, and a fresh side of lawsuit, you've come to the right place. There were 5 adults and one child expecting an amazing experience at this establishment. One adult asked for a drink menu. She received two of them (same menu) from two different waitresses. We all ordered our drinks and were not asked what size or told anything about prices. The waitress we had just wrote down what we told her. We received our drinks and food maybe about 30 mins after ordering. Everything was delicious and we asked for our checks. The checks were split based on who came with who. Upon reviewing our checks we noticed the drinks were priced incorrectly. We brought this to our waitress's attention and she proceeded to tell us that the prices in the menus are outdated and that they are in the process of getting new ones. I informed her that this was an error on their part and had nothing to do with us since we were never told about the change in pricing. She left the table and came back with the manager who tried to tell us the same thing. I told her what I told the waitress and they both walked away. Several minutes later the owner of the restaurant came over and spoke aggressively saying that the prices are what they are and that the menus should not have been given to us. I tried to state my concern regarding this but she cut me off saying there was nothing they can do. I told her she needs to stop handing those menus to customers since it's a form of false advertising. She said ok and left our table. This restaurant has workers who will treat you in a condescending manner. The staff are high schoolers who have no respect for disgruntled customers and instead, go in the corner and laugh about it with their coworkers. I have never been treated with such disrespect. The sad part is that it's not that no one could afford it, it's the principle and the respect of the matter. The waitress we had even lied to her bosses saying she told us the prices when nothing was ever said. We are honest and good people and feel like this place will rob you and not even blink. Please train your staff better before you get hit with a lawsuit. And the owner needs anger management courses along with professional customer service training. read more

Rather large restaurant in small town Arlington. The restaurant has quite a bit of seating with two rooms inside and a large outdoor patio and a large bar area. My husband and I both got the special for the night which was a steak topped with crawfish Julie. I had the filet which had a really good spicy flavor due to the crawfish Julie. I loved the flavors, but the steak wasn't the most tender filet that I have ever had. The sweet potato fries were really good and the Mac n cheese was good, but definitely not worth the up charge as it tastes more like something you would make at home and not of the gourmet variety. My husband ordered the ribeye and he said that his steak had quite a bit of gristle. He really liked the sautéed mushrooms and said the Italian spinach was ok. The service was fine, nothing stellar, but nothing to complain about. She kept our drinks refilled which is a plus in our book. Overall the flavor of the crawfish Julie was excellent, but the cut of steaks could have been better. If you are in the Arlington area, you should give them a try. read more

I have stopped by this place a few times, but the parking has always been full so I'd drive away. Finally, after multiple tries, the parking lot had plenty of space. The staff is super friendly from the moment I stepped inside the door till the second I left. I was yearning for a burger, so I got the Phoenix and it tasted really good. The only issue was that it was cooked well done and I asked for medium. Not a huge deal. Also, got the Phoenix wings, which were nice and spicy. The only real negative thing I have is the tables were really close together and were very cafeteria style. The guy next to us kept snorting snot and swallowing so that was our cue to leave. If the tables were farther apart, I may not have heard him. Overall great experience and I'll be back to try more deliciousness! read more

We have eaten at Brendalay Grill quite a few times, and have never left disappointed. The atmosphere is so laid back, & they have yard games on the patio. The service has always been great, and the food is full of flavor. We love it. read more

This is my 3rd or 4th time there. I like the location and I keep giving it a try but they never can get it right. The menu is all over the place and the food is subpar. The salads are just lettuce, croutons, and dressing. Nothing else. The wings are always cooked until hard and dry. The shrimp has always been overcooked and rubbery. I want to try more entree items but I'm afraid it will be a waste of money. The place looks nice but doesn't make any sense. The front of the restaurant looks like a displaced hotel lobby that's kept far from the action and the rest of the restaurant is just confusing. It's chopped up into odd sections that don't flow and are just weird. There's a great looking spiral staircase that leads up to some mess of a clothing store. If you're going to open a restaurant, just be a restaurant. The best thing though is the service. Although the kitchen in slooooow, the servers always do a great job. They're kind. They're smart. They try to make good suggestions. Our server last night was so good I almost forgot how bad the food was. read more

I like the food , but my husband hates it , says the food is very bland and has no flavor. I like it though

One of our favorites! Highly recommend checking this place out. A huge variety of food on the menu

Great food. Great Spicy Margarita Great atmosphere. We really enjoyed our meal. We will be back! read more

Made a reservation 2 weeks in advance for a special family celebration for a group of 15. Still waited 40 minutes to get seated, then another 20 minutes before we had our order taken. Was told the order would be fast tracked due to the delay in seating, but still had food served room temperature. Dissappointed. read more

Found this gem online. Hungry and heading down I-40 coming back from Nashville. My bf ordered the Brendalay burger. I had a bite...or two. Lol! It was spectacular and accompanied by a huge pile of their home fries seasoned with their signature spices. I ordered the dry wings dusted with their spicy seasoning. Delish!! Don't leave without dessert. Highly recommend the bread pudding topped with vanilla ice cream. The beautiful interior and classy decor is pleasing to the eye. The owner "Devon" was present often in the dining area visiting with patrons. Double thumbs up for him and his team! We'll be back! read more

I'll preface this like I have done with others. I quite often compare good food to that of which I prepare. Tonight my wife and I were lucky enough to dine at this wonderful restaurant. There are so many great things to say and only a few negatives. As you can see by my rating of 5 stars, the good far outweighs the bad. We arrived early before the crowd and the restaurant was fairly empty. I was rather disappointed in our initial reception so I started with a bit of a negative attitude. The reception consisted of three young ladies and not a single smile among them. To me, an initial greeting quite often sets the tone, hence the negative attitude on my part. We truly enjoyed the decor and started feeling more relaxed as we were led to our table. The only negative I can give on the decor is the chairs. They are extremely uncomfortable and for someone who has back issues, they are painful. When our waiter Dalton arrived, we then received the greeting we expected at the door. I'll hit this part right now, Dalton is an outstanding server and a genuinely good person. We will be asking for him on each of what I predict will be many returns. For the owner of this restaurant, I think he deserves special recognition. Dalton, thank you for a wonderful dining experience. Now, to the all important food ratings. (Keep in mind, my rating is 5 stars, so the critical part is mostly for the owner and to let diners know what to expect) We started with the spinach dip. An extremely generous portion of a very good dip with perfectly fried corn chips. My wife and I would have liked a bit more garlic in the dip and more pepper (maybe even red pepper flakes) but this was a very good dip and enough for 6-8 people as an appetizer. We both had a side salad with our meals, and I will say, this generously portioned side salad was the perfect starter. Plenty of tomatoes, cucumber, onion and almost too many croutons. I had the jalapeño ranch dressing and will never order a different one, it was outstanding. My wife had the blue cheese dressing and I will say it's the best restaurant blue cheese we have had in a long time. It actually rivals my wife's homemade blue cheese which in my opinion is the best in the world. On to the main dish and sides. I'll start with my wife's. She ordered the mahi-mahi blackened and Italian spinach as the other side. The blackened seasoning was very nice and the sauce served with was a very nice complement to the seasoning. However, the fish was way over cooked for her. I suggest ordering it medium and see what happens. The spinach was outstanding and one of the best I have tasted. I had the Redneck Surf and Turf, a 14oz ribeye with bbq shrimp. The shrimp were cooked to absolutely perfection. Most places tend to overcook shrimp, at least a little bit, these were cooked perfect. The one flaw with the shrimp, way too much paprika (at least to my taste). I love spice and I love heat and I love chili powders, but paprika has a taste I'm not too fond of. That being said, I ate them all. My steak, wow. Cooked to the absolute perfect medium rare and seasoned to perfection. Beautiful taste and texture. All this being said, this place is a treasure and we will definitely be returning and we'll be asking for Dalton read more

Very disappointed. I guess I was hoping for the Brendalay of yesteryear. The Brendalay before the fire. I'm not sure what happened between then and now. Perhaps the original owners sold the restaurant with the name due to the great reputation they had. We've been twice in the last four weeks and food and service were both mediocre. The first time was with a group so, I gave them the benefit of the doubt. This time there were three of us. We arrived before 6:30 and finally received food at 8:10. While the waitress was very nice, she only checked on us once between bringing out drinks and the time the food arrived at our table. After waiting so long to eat, I had hoped the food would be spectacular or at least good. It was not - dry and overcooked. Perhaps I'll try again next year. read more

I have visited this restaurant a couple of times and each experience has been horrible. The servers were more caught up in gossip/ socializing with one another than the importance of serving us. The food was on the same level as the service; dry, room temp., and inedible. The atmosphere of Brendalay Grill is like the interior of a car shop. Very depressing. I would recommend this place to anyone who is up for trying slop. read more

I had the large ribeye. Perfect amount of fat. Very tender and juicy. I ordered medium and that's what I got. They cooked it exactly how I wanted it. The Italian spinach was really incredible and they gave me so much I took most of it home, partly because I wanted to finish my steak while I was there. We were with a large party and had cheese sticks, wings, cheese and sausage plate, cheese dip and salsa. I really liked the cheese dip. Salsa was cold which I don't like, but that's the only criticism I could think of. Well, it's very loud and the parking is tight. Also, handicapped parking is way off to the side and you have to access a ramp to enter or exit the building. The problem with that is when cars are pulled up beyond the exit of the concrete ramp, it would literally trap a wheelchair from leaving. Poor designing on that. But the food and the experience was really great for me. read more

Great place to eat; attentive service, tasty food, decent portions. My only negative comments are: its a bit noisy (because all the interior architecture is hard surfaces) and a little bit slow. Both of those things do not warrant losing a star. read more

Good sandwiches & decent beer selection especially for Arlington. The building is beautiful and has an amazing outdoor space for those who prefer outdoor seating. The Phoenix wings are very tasty as are the sweet potato fries. One improvement would be that they add a decent balsamic vinaigrette dressing option to the menu & maybe a few more hot, deli style sandwiches (possibly a Reuben sandwich hint hint). read more

Travis, Amy and Amanda will be the reason I will be returning to this Establishment. The young lady that greeted us was very sweet and full of energy. The ambiance of this establishment is amazing. What really got my attention was the 21 and older section upstairs. Definitely an adult atmosphere where you can unwind, relax and eat some amazing food. Let's start with the bar. They have the best selection of draft beer on tap in West Tennessee period. Big screen televisions everywhere. They also have the best bourbon selection in West Tennessee top shelf bourbon also. My drink of choice for the night was an old fashioned that was made to perfection and to top it off Travis made sure it was smoked just how I like it. Amy was my server for the evening. Such a sweet young lady that made some fantastic recommendation know the menu like the back of her hand. I had smoked salmon, mixed vegetables and a loaded baked potato that was cooked to perfection and seasoned well. My daughter had pasta that she truly enjoyed. She's a teenager and a very picky eater, but her plate was clean. If you're looking for a place to have a good time, enjoy some good food and good conversation this is where you want to come. I'm a big fan of supporting local businesses. This restaurant is very clean and the staff members are well organized and they help each other. This is truly a hidden gem. Memphis TN and surrounding areas. Stop out your comfort zone and try something new. You will not be disappointed. Thank you for an amazing evening Brendalay. read more

Just Don't do it. The service was nice, but the kitchen was a hour long slow. A filet steak was ordered medium well and came out rare in the middle - cold center. When it was brought to the restaurants's attention they returned it to the kitchen to char the outside without any regard to the cooking of the inside. It was still rare in the center. read more
