Good low key spot located inside of a hotel near Maryland Live. This spot has great service ,great drinks and great food. What more can you ask for.... They also have a brunch here, however iv'e never made it on time. The parking garage says free on the wall but It captures a picture of your license plate upon entry. You will get a strange text later that looks like spam--telling you to pay for parking or you will be charged $52 I believe it stated. The ambiance is nice and I've never seen the place filled to the capacity. Everything I've ever tasted here has been very good! Only thing that's a little weird to me is that the restroom is located outside of the restaurant in the hotel lobby. If you're in the area you should stop by, it's located directly across the street from the Wawa after coming off 295. read more

Came here to meet up with friends while home visiting family for the holidays. We met up at the bar. Plenty of seating at the bar and throughout the restaurant. Parking in the garage was free for 2 hours. I ordered a side of fries. They were very basic. Forgot to take a picture unfortunately. I asked for a Coke Zero but they only have Pepsi products. read more

First time at this restaurant in a really long time. I was pleased with the ambiance, service and food. The roasted Brussels sprouts were absolutely delicious. Especially the carmalized sauce.... very pleasing to the palate !! I also had the Chesapeake omelet and the ratio of crab meat to Swiss cheese was perfect. I will definitely be returning to try more deliciousness. read more

George Martin's Grillfire - Chesapeake omelet and home fries !! - Steakhouses Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

Made a reservation to meet friends for brunch on a Sunday. There is a garage to park in that was free because we were there under 3 hrs. We were seated immediately upon arrival. Our server was great and offered several suggestions. I ordered the avocado toast and a mimosa. I could have done without the mimosa- it was mainly all juice. My avocado toast though- OMG it was good. When it came out, the appearance was just so so. What lacked in appearance, definitely made up for in flavor. I would definitely order this again. My one friend ordered the smash burger. It smelled SO good! I would like to try that on a future visit. Overall, good visit and reasonably priced. read more

If I could give Grillfire more than 5 stars, I would. This place is basically my second kitchen at this point. The bartenders are consistently amazing--attentive, friendly, and they actually remember you, which makes such a difference. The regular crowd is just as great and honestly feels like a little community. It's one of those rare spots where you can show up any night and feel right at home. Whether you're grabbing dinner or just sitting at the bar, it's always a good time. TIM IS THE BEST. read more

This place has THE BEST espresso martinis in the area! My husband and I stopped in last Saturday afternoon. We ordered the smash burger and the chicken sandwich to split. We devoured the smash burger - sooooo good. The chicken sandwich was just okay. read more

I met my gf here for Happy hour. We arrived at 4pm & the bar was already full. We were offered seating in front of the grill fire. We checked out the menu for Happy hour. It wasn't to impressive. They only offered two red wines and one white wine which was all dry. So I opted for one of my favorite drinks that wasn't on the Happy Hour menu. Which was the Expresso Martini. Omggg that was the best one I've ever had before!! Top of the line and I enjoyed every drop. I ordered the chicken egg rolls off the Happy hour menu. Also was very good. I just wish the Happy Hour drink menu offered more selections. The funny thing is we actually went to the wrong restaurant. I was wondering why the Happy hour menu had changed from what I saw on the website. Overall I was satisfied with my choices and the waiter was efficient. So I will give it 3.5 stars. read more

We came for dinner. It was super busy but we were seated right away. We had beat salad, Caesar salad, crab cakes, crab and spinach dip and cheeseburger. Crab cakes and dip were great. There were a lot of beets in the beet salad, a little too much for me Everything tasted good. Service was kind of slow because they had a few big parties. Decoration was festive. read more

This is our second visit and it was just as good! Love that they switch up their specials so there's something new to try. We got the ribeye and the ravioli this time and both were delicious.

Staying at the hotel attached to this place so I decided to grab a quick breakfast and boy was that a big mistake! What a travesty to the pig with the bacon they served me, it is not edible, the egg taste microwaved the only glimmer of taste was the breakfast potato's service was fine and the restaurant is spacious but they should probably stick to lunch and dinner items which I won't stick around for. Looked like a they had a nice full bar. read more

The customer service was great even when one of the dishes; pork chop chutney wasn't pleasing. They made the adjustment and the dish was more satisfying. The bolognese was plentiful and good. Just add a little salt and pepper and wallah. Lastly, the stuffed chicken and potatoes were delicious and tender. Oh forgot , the cream of crab was delicious too! read more

I think this restaurant has a lot of potential. Service is always great and they always have a great energy. It's a nice restaurant. The food just always lacks seasoning/ flavor for me. There is always something that needs to be added. This was the case for the salmon, the pasta and short rib hash. However the garlic broccoli had a great flavor. We enjoyed the food just after the addition of seasoning/ salt and pepper . read more

Came in tonight for my dads birthday. The food was great & our server Davis was awesome. We will definitely be back !

The Wife, our 2yr old & I visited George Martin's Grillfire bc we were staying in the hotel attached to the restaurant - The Arundel Preserve. Our waitress Mya was really nice, and when we asked her suggestions she gave us two: the Steak strips appetizer & my entree, and they both were a hit. Mya can be trusted. 10/10. There was literally no wait time & was seated really quickly even though the restaurant felt pretty busy & our food came out really fast.. 10/10. On to our meals... Our appetizer was the Steak Strips & man were they tender & flavorful. 9/10. My son got the Kids Mac & Cheese but the Wife & I had some too. 6/10. It wasn't bad by any stretch but it was a different variation of Mac & Cheese than what I am used to, but that's ok. It was still good. For Entrees the Wife got the days special, Australian Lamb chops w/ mash potatoes & broccoli & rated it a 10/10. I got the Braised BBQ Short rib w/ crispy onion straws on a bed of mash potatoes & man were those ribs tender & delicious. 10/10 For dessert, I got the Crème Brûlée & the Wife & kiddo split a dairy free, gluten free brownie that tasted like the regular version. 10/10. In closing, we had a really good time & the Mrs. Keeps raving about wanting to return. read more

We visited this location on Friday January 24, 2025 at 4:40 pm. Excellent dining experience. We love the decor of the dining room. The owners didn't overdo it with watered down lavish props and lighting. I enjoy LIGHT when I am eating because I want to see what's on my plate. The dining room is spotlessly clean. The restrooms are sparkling and well stocked. Kudos to the staff. There's nothing worse than a dirty, funky restroom to kill your experience. The staff is very warm and welcoming. Everyone is smiling and happy to answer your questions. The food was very well seasoned, served hot and came out in a timely manner. We had the Gorgonzola bread, crab balls, and cream of crab soup as appetizers. All three were excellent. I kinda think that the sherry cream was a little overbearing in the crab soup but that is totally subjective. I would order it again. I recommend the Slow Braised Short Ribs! Very juicy and flavored to my liking. My wife had the Blackened chicken Alfredo and she loved it. I highly recommend this location. read more

I recently treated myself to a delightful dining experience at George Martin's Grillfire and was thoroughly impressed. My evening began with the chili pop shrimp appetizer, which was cooked to perfection and offered a generous portion size that was just right for starting off the meal. For the main course, I indulged in the Thai chili salmon served with wild rice and broccoli. The salmon was a true standout, earning a well-deserved "chef's kiss" for its exquisite flavor and impeccable preparation. The wild rice and broccoli complemented the dish beautifully, rounding out a very satisfying entree. During my visit, I decided to try their strawberry margarita, and it was an excellent choice. The drink was refreshingly delightful, striking a perfect balance between sweet and tangy. The fresh strawberry flavor really shone through, complemented by just the right amount of lime and tequila. It was served in a stylish glass with a salted rim, the presentation was as appealing as the taste. It was the ideal companion to my meal, enhancing the flavors of both the appetizer and the entree. The strawberry margarita at George Martin's Grillfire is a must-try for anyone looking to enjoy a well-crafted cocktail in a vibrant setting. The service was generally good, meriting a 9/10 rating. The only slight drawback was a bit of a wait before my waiter attended to me, but once they did, the service was attentive and pleasant. Parking was exceptionally convenient, with a garage located right by the restaurant, making it easy to get in and out. As for the pricing, I found it to be reasonable, rating it a 10/10. Overall, George Martin's Grillfire provided a wonderful evening out with great food, solid service, and hassle-free parking. The restaurant exudes a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at ease. The decor is stylish and modern, creating a perfect blend of sophistication and comfort. The music selection was spot on, enhancing the overall vibe without overpowering the conversation. It provided a lively yet relaxed backdrop that perfectly complemented the dining experience. Whether you're on a solo date like I was or enjoying the company of friends, the ambiance at George Martin's Grillfire adds a special touch that elevates the entire evening. In addition George Martin's Grillfire not only delivers on great food and service but also offers an inviting and enjoyable environment, making it a top choice for a memorable dining experience. read more

I came here with three of my sisters and another guest for one of my sister's birthday. The appetizer was decent. The crab was okay with mediocre chips. I ordered the shrimp and lobster pasta with added broccoli. I initially thought the food was good until the lobster started to taste off. The lobster had a very bland taste and it gave a strong fishy aftertaste. Both my sisters and I took our orders back. I ordered the same thing but without the lobster. My other sister got disgusted because she ordered a bison burger but thought that was the name of the burger and not the meat itself. Both my sisters took their burgers back. One sister didn't order anything and the other had a replacement pasta which she eventually took back because she said the sauce tasted like Spaghetti O's. The manager came over and heard us out but she didn't take anything off our bill. My sister got a complimentary birthday dessert of two brownies with m&ms and four scoops of whipped cream. We had to ask for ice cream and the manager noted they only had vanilla. And that was the least they could have done. Ambiance is pretty nice at least, fireplace was a nice touch. Below average experience with meh customer service. read more

This restaurant in Hanover Maryland was chosen as the location for my group's annual Christmas get together. It was a long day for all of us so we were looking forward to good food, good drinks, and good times and George Martin's Grillfire delivered. Our reserved table was ready for us and the two waiters that served us were prompt and attentive. One was a little bit of a jokester which we got a kick out of ( for the most part). I had the braised short ribs which was good but to be honest I was so full from our full spread of appetizers I had to take my main entree to go. Speaking of appetizers their roasted Brussels sprouts and deviled eggs were yum and all the main dishes were well plated. A great choice by our social committee per uuuzzual...oh and the parking on this fine Saturday was free in the parking garage. nice!!! read more

My friends and I went to here for brunch after church on Easter. It was quiet when we first arrived but got supper busy soon after. We decided to sit outside on their patio since the weather was nice . The service was good and the food was even better! The brunch box option is a steal! The calamari was fried/salted perfectly and the short rib was tender and just melted. The drinks were good too. I would definitely go back. read more

We wanted to try this for some time. It replaced Vivo which we really enjoyed. This isn't close to the prior restaurant it replaced. Our server was less than interested in our business and we didn't feel welcome. Very robotic service. The braised short ribs were just ok. They were dry and the flavor was bland and lacking. BBQ didn't make sense. Mashed potatoes were flavorless and under seasoned. Way too many fried onions pulled on top. The location and space were the best part of the experience. read more

Came for a work event and the food and service were outstanding! The restaurant is in the lobby of a really nice hotel and parking is free. Someone at my table had the meatloaf and OMG the portion of meatloaf was enough for 3 meals!! The calamari was excellent, the crab minis were delicious and so was the crab dip. No filler, all lump. I had the shrimp and lobster fettuccini and it was pretty good. Could have used a dash of Old Bay or a little something more to enhance the flavor but it was good. I would have liked to see some lobster tail meat, not just claw. I also got the strawberry shortcake dessert special to go. I haven't tasted it yet but I can't wait to dig in! I'd def come back for sure. read more

Solid hotel restaurant! We visited Grillfire on a Friday night and was able to be seated immediately. Make sure you grab the old fashioned - One of them will do the trick! The appetizers were ok. We ended up sending the brussel sprouts back because they were too salty. I feel like they were just sitting in hoisin sauce, and only needed a light drizzle. The crab & artichoke dip was pretty good. I loved the bbq short rib & mashed potatoes. I opted out of the crispy onions and ordered a side of broccoli. The portions are HUGE, so you can definitely share an entree. We had a good night at Grillfire! read more

Came for dinner with my wife last night. We've been before but long ago. Really nice place. The waitstaff is very attentive; they popped by quite often (but not too often) to be sure that all was well. We got the crab artichoke dip as an appetizer. I got the lobster/shrimp on pasta with parmesan cheese sauce. It was delicious, though they could have put on slightly less sauce. This is the restaurant for the Hotel At Arundel Preserve. Parking is easy as there is a garage right next door, and you don't even have to walk outside to get to the restaurant itself. Slightly pricey but we'll be back. The food and the staff are what will bring us back. read more

1.24.23 My husband and our friends, a married couple, went to dinner before going to Baltimore to see a show. I made reservations for 5:30 through Opentable. Our order consisted of: -Crab Deviled Eggs as an app -a bottle of Chardonnay -Cider Beer -BBQ Braised Short Ribs: This was my order and I really enjoyed it. I never had braised ribs with BBQ sauce and the sauce was tasty and the ribs were tender. The crispy onion was yummy. I only wish there was a gravy or more seasoning for the mashed potatoes. -Salad -Ribeye We all agreed that our entrees were hearty. The only hiccup was that the Crab Deviled Eggs were brought to the wrong table so it was delayed and they brought out our entrees first. Everyone else enjoyed their entrees. Our server was outgoing and funny. The ambiance is lovely and looks upscale. They have a bar. There is a parking garage around back that connects to the lobby leading to the restaurant and hotel. We did not initially see this and walked around the outside to the front of the restaurant. See attached photos. They have patio seating, which is nice in warmer weather. We had a lovely evening enjoying our dinner and each other's company. read more

Visited last week and the service was great. In addition, the food was tasty. We ordered the crab cakes, arugula salad, and cream of crab soup, which were all good.

We had fun. Our waiter was great. The special drinks were creative. However, lamb should not be part of your menu: it's out of your wheelhouse.
