Wow, how have I not reviewed Grafton Grill? My partner and I love this place. Every sandwich, salad, pasta dish, and appetizer we've had has been great, and the staff is always a pleasure to talk to. The cozy atmosphere is one of the things that brings us back again and again. If I had one bad thing to say it's that parking can be tricky if they're busy. With their limited hours, it can fill up. But I can't really fault them for the size of their lot or for being popular. Just get there early. read more

This was our second time here and I loved our first visit. But tonight it was a little disappointing the bottom of the pizza that is Wood fired is very...well you can see. The top looked nicely cooked but the bottom was very doughie. The truffle oil tasted a little rancid. I want to love this place. The place was hopping and our server was great! read more

Never will go there again. I ordered. Fish and chips and asked if II could have a vegetable instead of fries. She said it comes with carrots and mashed potatoes I said Really? She said it's haddock. I said ok I'd like two. She said ok. 15 minutes. I went, picked up the bag and left. By the way, put someone on the phone over 16. Why didn't she tell me that pick up was not in the restaurant. I had to walk on the edge of the road, which is dangerous. I got home opened the bag and saw one meal. I paid $38,00 What?? I called and said I ordered two meals. I thought that price was for two fish meals. Ok. Back to the meal. When I called. Whoever answered the phone said well come back and we'll give you another one. I have to go back to the restaurant at 5. Traffic is crazy. II said it's your mistake do I have to pay 38.00 again. She said well that's the price. No business sense at all. She should have offered half price at least. Anyway, the meal was awful. The mashed potatoes were barely mashed, the carrots weren't cooked and the fish was awful and 1/8 of an inch thick. Run. Run to any other restaurant. Try Reunion in Northbridge. read more

I have been here a lot because it is really good. Probably the best restaurant in the area. The food is so good. High quality ingredients and a totally cook chef team. They are creative and just very good. My wife had the black bean burger. She loved it. I tried it. Not my style but it was ok. I had the swordfish special. It was great. Prepared so well with vegetables like broccolini. A pesto sauce that made the food stand out. My son had burgers both times. Fresh and big. Loved it. Great fries. Yesterday we tried the margarita pizza as an appetizer. Felt like and tasted like I was in Milan Italy. Amazingly good. The restaurant is clean modern and fun. Parking a little tight. read more

Really nice atmosphere and dine-in experience--pleasant all-around. Everyone I bring here wants to come back. The menu could use a few more default vegan options, but the pizza and grain bowl are both really solid. This review was made in connection with a Toast promotion. read more

Great food & drinks. Love the buy 1 get 1 pizza (which is fantastic!) on Tuesdays & burger night on Wednesday as well.

Service was fantastic. Everyone was attentive and thoughtful. The food was pretty good. Tough to decide on direction when you have such a wide variety of options, from Thai to Mexican to Pizza. read more

I am always looking for hidden gems and came upon this one in Grafton. Located on a small side street, cut through, this place was a great find. Not very big, so reservations are recommended but not needed. As you walk in there is a U shaped bar with some high tops. They have a good selection of locals beers and many others on bottles. Their mixed drink selections had some really cool combinations and my wife loved her margaritas. A good size menu with nightly specials. We started with the crispy shrimp. They were on a bed of tasty coleslaw. Five decent sized shrimp cooked perfectly and a spicy dipping sauce. Wife then went with the "special" pizza of the night. A good size thin crust pizza with plenty of chicken, hot peppers and a creamy sauce. I went with the grilled cheese short rib sandwich. It was packed with short rib and toasted nicely. It came on a huge pile of fries that were obviously hand cut. If they hadn't charged us extra for a small cup of Ranch dressing for my wife, they would have been 5 stars. Either way this is a definite stop read more

Had fish tacos, the fish was overcooked and very bland. First time coming here, very disappointed. The waitress was great!

Had heard the pizza was good. Given the name is Grafton Grill AND Crust, you'd think the pizza might be decent. It was not. Ordered a cheese pizza. Had the taste and texture of a cheap $5 generic frozen pizza from the grocery store. If a pizza is not worth eating the leftovers, you know its bad. read more

This is a nice quiet family restaurant (at least when I went). They have outside sitting but I chose to sit at the bar. I ordered the salmon dish (forgot take a picture) and it was delicious. The fish sits on top roasted potatoes, onions and salad.. one particular flavor stood out. Watercress (one of my favorites) was there as well. read more

Very chic decor, minimalist, but so so cold. The food was pricey but very good so I was ok although we only got a burger and the panko chicken sandwich. Both had great flavor and the homemade dressings were good. Service was decent enough. The sour dill pickles were great, though. read more

Great menu, delicious food and attentive service. Drink selection is also very good. My wife and I shared the fried shrimp, so very good! Wood fired pizza was delicious. Wine selection is very good, balance between California, Italy & France. We will definitely come back! read more

So we moved closer to Grafton about a year ago, but just really discovered Grafton Grill at the beginning of April. Since our first visit on April 4th, we've been back 2 more times. We love the atmosphere. We love to sit at the bar and the service there is always excellent. Two times we got wings and pizza. Let me tell you about these BBQ bone in wings - I don't really love chicken all that much, but these wings are heavenly! I literally dream about them! They are hearty, and definitely messy, which means they don't lack sauce like other places. We've gotten the Bee Sting pizza and the Mushroom & Caramelized onion. Loved both, although the Bee Sting was just a tad too spicy for me, not for my hubby though. This last time we tried the bolognese pasta - it exceeded my expectations! I think it's safe to say this is one of our new favorite places. Oh yeah and the drinks/beers rock too! Can't wait to go back. I'm posting this review without photos because I keep forgetting to take them, I usually just dig right in! Thanks for being such a great little establishment not far from home for us! read more

This is our go to restaurant in the area. Very eclectic menu and regular chef specialties. A rotating menu of craft beers. Signature drink menu. Attentive staff. We highly recommend you try it. Only negative is sometimes the small parking lot is tough to park in. read more

I don't typically review places, but these guys are really exceptional. The service is always top notch and the food is quality - they understand that they're local and they work hard to keep bringing in the folks that live nearby. The bar is chill and the ambiance is really friendly and welcoming. I mostly get Pizza for takeout these days and it's always fresh - you can see the chefs making them as you walk into the takeout area. Best restaurant in the town for a reason, from my point of view. read more

The food was amazing. The wife and I had the hand cut 1/2 lbs burgers with fries and they were awesome. Then for desert we had the special strawberry tortilla cheesecake. Nice. We were here from out of town and it didn't disappoint. Thank you read more

Came in a few weeks ago and had a great time. The place was clean and the service was great. We got the Korean meatballs and they were excellent - though not entirely Korean, but I'll let it pass. Our sandwiches and dessert were delicious! The ice cream cake is something different altogether - it's like an ice cream pie and it's so unique. Really tasty! Good beer selection too. read more

The food and service were excellent, and the restaurant had a nice atmosphere. The menu has a good variety.

Had a lovely time here on a impromptu dinner trip over the weekend with hubby . Never been here, although we live in this town ! Lovely ambience and warm hosts .. Our server , María , was warm and friendly. They have a decent veg spread in appetizers and entrees . We were actually surprised they had any veg' options other than fries in our small town , the veg' selections were actually good . From the appetizer section we tried the polenta dish and the crispy Brussels sprouts . Nice ! For drink I had the lemon drop , lavender infused Gin and hubby had a beer . The cocktail was tasty ! For main we had the wood fried mushroom , feta, arugula topped pizza with truffle oil. It was delicious ! I will def' return for a second innings with friends . This place is very popular among locals and is always packed so please book ahead and come. .But Do come :) . You will not regret it . read more

We love the Grafton Grill & Crust! Menu has something for everyone. The prices are reasonable, drinks are delicious, service is great. We always start with the mussels which are amazing! Pizzas are delicious and definitely big enough to split between two. The other night we ended with the homemade ice cream pie which was freaking awesome! Can't wait to go back. read more

Nice clean restaurant (on the smaller side) so plan your time accordingly. The Menu is also in the smaller side but you'll likely find something you like. The crushed haddock with mashed potatoes is delicious and is my go to entree. The Brussels sprouts are delicious and the go to starter. Three stars because the food and service is inconsistent. read more

Finding an upscale restaurant in a rural setting is rare these days. This is a family run business that strives to provide that level of service with local a customer base. Are they perfect? Maybe not, but we didn't see that at all. They are extremely busy and patrons who come expecting chain restaurant speed & service need to understand the term "cooked to order," which simply means "we prepare food as the orders come in, not in advance and pulled from a walk-in fridge." That said, our food was impeccable and thoughtfully prepared. The Bee Sting pizza was spicy and delicious, salads were perfectly dressed and fresh, and the Bolognese was fantastic. Everything was delivered with a smile and without hesitation. The only drawback was that food took longer than expected (not even that long, either), but thanks to our waiter, we we're told that the kitchen was slightly backed up and food was taking a few minutes longer than normal. Great communication, no problem!! The best part was the waitstaff who went out of their way to make us comfortable, fitting us in without a reservation (waitlist for less than 10 minutes) on a slammed Saturday night. Very personal service, including a welcoming visit from the owner. TL;DR: fabulous food at family owned hidden gem with a hard working, knowledgeable staff who goes out of their way to accommodate patron's needs. Already looking forward to our next visit. Cheers! read more

We've driven by many times and finally decided to stop. They were crazy busy and we were asked our names for call ahead seating. We didn't even think to call ahead and figured we'd have a long wait. Instead, the gentleman who helped us up front fit us into a little high top along the back wall. He was extremely friendly and helpful, even though it was chaotically busy. Long story short, after interacting with our wonderful waitress, we couldn't be happier with everything. Drinks, food, wait staff, and ambience were perfect. We'll be back and will tell other people to visit. 5 stars! read more

Always friendly service. The food is always good and consistent. Fun drinks and nice little bar area. Great little local establishment.

They put us on the waiting list then after waiting for about 15 minutes the girl came out and said "my boss just told us no more walk in's.. need to leave.. very unprofessional of her boss. They lost a good customer. Update: This response from the owner is so unprofessional. Why would we lie about something like this. We stopped by spur of the moment which is why we didn't have a reservation. The hostess said 25 minutes which we were fine with and then after about 15 minutes came outside and said what I already shared. If we had been told up front no more walk-ins that would have been fine. The problem is how it happened and now how the owner responded. Ask your hostess if this happened and the 6:15 reservation that witnessed her tell us this. read more

I discovered this restaurant recently while traveling on business in the area. I liked it so much that I went back. The restaurant is clean, service was great and good was delicious and well prepared. You can tell that the owners/managers take great pride! read more

To preface this review, I think me and my boyfriend went here on an off night and we are very willing to come back and try it out again. We came here on a Saturday night and were sat right away. We had to wait a while for the waitress to come over but once she did she was friendly and apologized for the wait. Unfortunately, they did not have draft beers that night (due to an issue at the bar?), which was a bummer since we were in the mood for beer flights. I chose a lavender lemon drop martini instead, which was very good. As an appetizer we got the brussel sprouts which were crispy and delicious. My boyfriend ordered the steak tips, rare, which were sadly very over cooked. However, I ordered the espresso rubbed pork chop from the specials menu and it was to die for. I definitely recommend this dish! Hoping to return soon to give them another try! read more

We go often and the menu has always been spectacular. From the crab rangoon dip, the flight of spuds to the buffalo chicken flatbread. Always awesome. The beer taps change regularly, and they stick the favorites, so it's never been a disappointment. Update: On our way out for the day, we decided to swing by for their Brunch. I got the Burger Benedict and my wife got the two eggs her way. Both meals were more than enough in size and were plated very well. The Burger Benedict was awesome with a ground sirloin burger and a sausage patty with the egg and hollandaise. Absolutely incredible! My wife said her meal was just as good with tasty home fries, bacon and toast. Well worth the stop! read more

We just moved to Grafton and decided to check out the Grafton Grill for Sunday Brunch. I didn't really know what to expect but was totally blown away- the food was absolutely amazing, drinks were awesome, service was excellent. There were beautiful, fresh dahlias on all the tables. My fiancé got a killer Bloody Mary and I got the mimosa flight- they have an insane local beer selection and great cocktail selection in general. The food was to die for- he got the sirloin eggs Benedict (omg) and I got the chicken & waffles. Would recommend 12/10 to anyone & can't wait to go back! read more

Our first visit to the Grafton Grill was for my daughter's 50th birthday. We couldn't have asked for a more special night, we were a party of 6, it was a first time for all of us. Our waitress was excellent, very attentive, we ordered the haddock, steak tips, burger and salmon. Each dinner was cooked perfectly and were so delicious. The plates were served hot and were beautifully plated. A few of us tried dessert, and they were outstanding. It was a perfect place for my daughters birthday. We highly recommend and will definitely go back. Also the owners came around to check on us, very nice. Linda Manseau read more

Food and service was great! Had a large group of people and tried many items on the menu. Will definitely be back!

I felt kind of bad with my review Steve until I read Dick E's from Shrewsbury.I was beginning to think I was the only one ever to give a bad review. I give you credit for posting mine and Dick's.It shows class.In all fairness,I always give a second chance but I haven't given yours.If you're not waiting for me at the door with a gun, I would like to try again soon.I don't remember anything bothering me the night we ate there like you said I might, but maybe there was. I will understand if you say I"m not welcome.In any event best of luck to your restaurant.I didn't want to put one star but you force me to chose one.Hopefully it will change if I get a chance to come again.

Good food. Good atmosphere. Good prices. Good service. Pizza is delicious. Locally sourced ingredients.

We wanted to like it. I will start with what was good. Had reservations but likely would have been OK not to. It was a Tuesday night and we are early eaters so it was a light crowd. As we were leaving it seemed to be picking up pace but by 640PM I think it was still half full. We were immediately welcomed by a courteous host who we may also assume pulls double duty as the owner. Waitress was outstanding and very pleasant though out the meal. Decor was nice and as my wife noted very "Magnolia Farms" like. Food- we had looked at a menu and had planned our meal ahead of time (don't judge! ). We should have stuck to the plan. It was Taco Tuesday and I guess their version of Tex Mex night so we changed plans. We ordered the Wanton Nachos to start. They were Ok but for 14 bucks I would have like the fish to have been the star. I got the fish tacos off the menu and the Mrs got beef taco flight off the specials menu. Both arrived quickly and both were just Ok on the verge of not good. The flavors of the toppings were strong and on mine overpowered the fish. Her's tasted like it had came out a crock pot and to cane with a side of beans and rice that we could have sworn was out of a box. Grafton needs this place and as such we will go back to try again. Just not on a Tuesday. Before we do though we will try out Hunters Grille. read more

First time here, and I was impressed. Nice quality decor, without being at all pretentious. I was in the mood for a flatbread, and ordered one which was like having a Big Mac pizza - beef, lettuce, tomatoes, and thousand island dressing. The flatbread can easily serve two - I brought half of it home as leftovers. I paired the flatbread with a juicy hazy IPA on draft. It was just what the doctor ordered after a long day including several hours on the road. read more
