    Honey bbq pulled pork spud

    Service is absolutely amazing. Dawn was the wonderful person behind the counter explaining the menu and telling us all the good things as we had never been here before. I had the McAlister club on a baguette and my wife ordered the honey bbq spud. Kisha was the person who brought out our food and said she made it with love bc we have never been here before and wanted it to be extra delicious. Both were so good and fulfilling. The restaurant its self is clean and cozy. Will definitely be back to try the many different things in the menu!

    Spicy Turkey Melt with Ceasar salad
    April K.

    I came in at 11:30 on a Thursday for lunch. The staff was friendly and the dining area was very clean. I got the 6" Spicy Turkey Melt with a Ceasar salad. The salad had a little too much dressing and the anchovies were a little overpowering. The sandwich was great. I ordered it with no bacon which I'm sure would give it extra flavor (saving fat grams ). The turkey meat had great flavor and the Chipotle ranch gave it some good heat without being too hot.

    I'll have to go back to this place to see if it deserves more than 3 stars...but as the sayings go...initial impressions are lasting impressions. I simply wanted nachos. I ended up talking about it so much, my wife wanted some as well. Looking at the price of them, may as well get all the bells and whistles variety...I even asked for extra cheese. The good: they are big enough to share. The bad: nothing about thy nachos really blew my away...I actually barely felt the air on me at all b The ugly: the cooks have to be consistent in preparation. Our food should mirror each other. Y'all forgot her avocados and y'all forgot my sour cream. I truly believe extra cheese was not put on either of our dishes. It was a common food chain experience. I will admit that our service was really good and they were really professional. Their are other items I want to try, so I'll go back. I just know not to expect anything outstanding when I do.

    THEY GET IT RIGHT EVERY TIME! If you love sweet tea, get the tea pass. You can get one large sweet tea once a day for one month for $6.99. YOU CANNOT BEAT THAT DEAL. it is consistently good. I also add flavors like peach or strawberry. Yummy! I always get the club sandwich and my daughter gets the chicken sandwich warm. Both are really good especially the soup!!! The also have good stuffed baked potatoes! The service is good and ambiance feels like home and it's clean.

    Went by there to experience a change from my regular eat outs. NOT the change I wanted. Based on my religion, I requested the order taker to please remove bacon slices from the sandwich. I was assured that the bacon was not added. In total, I had mentioned it THRICE to not have bacon on my sandwich & the store employee confirmed that bacon was not added. So as I got home, sliced it in half & noticed halfway through my meal that a piece of bacon was falling off my sandwich

    The Food was good and came out in a reasonable time. The service was great they were very helpful and accommodating for what we needed. The music did get a bit loud but than was correct later.

    CHOOSE TWO!

    Rarely will I give a deli a five-star, but in this case the young lady working the register, EMMA, knew the menu so well, assisted in our order as I'll detail, and was so personably, that the store earned it, when coupled with the delicious food. We looked at the menu beforehand and both of us wanted the Savannah Salad and the Ruben sandwich. Our plan was to split both and then eat half each. The downside was that it isn't easy to split a salad equally. When I asked the counter girl EMMA for an extra plate to split the salad, she suggested that we each instead get the "choose two" which would give us individual salads of our choice and individual sandwiches, for about the same price. This was much better, and good thinking on her part. Thanks Emma! The Savannah Salad has a good amount of grilled chicken, cranberries, cheese, almonds, tomatoes, and all kinds of greens. The Ruben sandwich was served properly warmed, with the right amount of sour-kraut, Swiss, and a decent portion of corned beef. The only downside is that there is not a close location to the inner city, but when in Spring, we'll stop back here. The bigger PLUS, there are three tables on the patio and we were able to have our dog outside. He enjoyed bits of Ruben and grilled chicken!

Caramelized Garlic Steak is my go to!! This time I changed it up a bit. Hold the rice, sub for arugula, add goat cheese, extra sweet potatoes (I have to share these with my dog lol), and HEAVY on the pesto! The picture doesn't do it justice. DELISH! I'm a stickler for customer service. It's just one area that I cannot fold on. They could definitely use some help in the speed of service department. The line was really long, and it took a good amount of time to order. Now, here is where I show Grace. I saw 6 employees: 2 prepping, 2 taking upfront orders, and 2 making to-go orders. Each employee was busting their butt to work as hard as possible without jeopardizing the quality of food. For that, I show appreciation! I love their Core Values!..."Think Sustainably: Make decisions that last longer than you!" This spoke volumes!!! Often we want quick fixes, or instant gratification. It's important to pause, self reflect and implement concepts that promote long lasting change!

They have a good sized menu as well consisting of apps, salads, bowls, entrees and wraps. Of course, they are family friendly and offer kids meals too. I chose the steak entree since it comes with 2 sides of my choice as opposed to the braised beef which just comes with rice and beans....for the same price. I read they are known for their olive oil lemon cake, if there is such as things as a healthy dessert. I was very impressed with the meal and it seemed to be a pretty healthy choice at such a good price point. The steak was real slices of lean steak that actually tastes like a steak and not rubber. Fruit cup was very fresh and way better than any I've had at other restaurants lately. I wasn't a big fan of their teas, but they're gonna take some getting used to. The olive oil cake was tasty just a little smaller than I had imagined.

Actually, they have a good size menu and have some American options along with juices and smoothies so It made ordering easy. They also have a full bar with several cocktails and mocktails. Inside right when you enter is the actual bar with about 6 seats which were full with customers during my entire visit. Their happy hour ends at 6pm, but I arrived at 7pm so I ended up missing the discounted drinks. I ordered the cod and shrimp pita which ended up being slightly different than the regular gyro. I had to set it down after a couple of bites since the wheat pita bread is much thinner than regular pita bread and it kept falling apart on me. I also added a mango mojito. With a name like Island Grill, I sort of expected to see more tropical drinks or rum-based cocktails show up on the menu, but this was about the only one. Overall, my experience was okay, but I don't know if it was good enough for me to return.
