Bought one of their new Family meals for take out. Our choices were brisket, chicken, ribs, and flank steak along with cole slaw and garlic mashed for sides. All of the food was great. Brisket was presented different than expected, more of a shaved beef versus traditional slices or cubes. That being said, it was very tasty and easy to share. Chicken was a beautiful mohogany, juicy and flavorful. Ribs were cooked perfectly, unlike was most think, you do want a bite, if its falling off the bone its overcooked, these were just right. Not a ton of flavor in the ribs but that more speaks to the meat itself than the smoking, though more rub flavoring and smoke would be beneficial. Admittedly the flank steak was not my choice, but it was a welcome choice after tasting. Normally a cheap filler meat, this was tender, flavorful, and properly sliced to make it very edible. Beyond a great value, the presentation was stunning for take out, someone spent real time making it look good. Ive attached a pic, to show how much food $50 bought and how wonderful it looked even after travelling home. Not a fan of any coleslaw but my wife spoke highly of it. The garlic Mashed potatoes were average, not up to the level of the rest of the food, but a good add on nevertheless. read more

Mesquito Grille - Family meal. Brisket, Chicken, Spare Ribs, and Flank Steak. - Barbeque Near Me - Doylestown, Pennsylvania

So glad I took my friends recommendation and finally tried this place. It looks really cool inside, and the bar is really nice. It's older and outdated, but the aesthetically pleasing kind. We were seated upstairs (we weren't given a choice on where to sit) and apparently to participate in happy hour you had to sit downstairs in the bar area. No one told us, and it's almost a given for the waiter to tell the table that if we're only ordering drinks and appetizers. The wings were AMAZING. They alone deserve 5 stars, the honey bbq sauce is the best i ever had. The buffalo chicken dip left a lot to be desired. read more

I'll start off by saying that I've been to this place a few times, at the bar, for take out and eat in and they do have great wings. The attitude of most of the staff leaves something to be desired though. The hostess/greeters at the front door must be related to the owner. It's the only explanation I have for the reason she/they are still employed there. I've never been greeted with a smile or made to feel welcome. It's as if I was a stranger stopping over at her house on her day off to ask for something to eat. I was there two nights ago with some co-workers and while our waitress was okay the bus boy who came to clean up while we were sitting there was not. Not only did this guy think it was fine to reach over people to clear the table, he also thought it was okay to enlist our help (in a less than polite manner) to pass stuff to him he couldn't reach. All of which took place before we even had our check. Who does that? As I said the wings are good, the overall attitude isn't. read more

Best wings in Doylestown. Go with there house favorite frankensauce. Good lunch and beer specials. read more

Mesquito Grille - Barbeque Near Me - Doylestown, Pennsylvania

Mesquito Grille is my favorite place in Doylestown but I can only give it 4 stars because of the inconsistent service. While the food has always been great the service can be sketchy at times. Their wings are definitely the best in the area (dare I say state?) but they usually have really good specials and their entrees never disappoint. I've never had anything on the menu that I didn't like. Beer lovers will appreciate their large selection on its own multipage menu. If the weather is nice when you visit try to get a seat on the second floor balcony. If not, any other room is great except the bar in the front of the building which gets crowded and noisy during big games. If you live anywhere even remotely close to Doylestown you've got to get out here to try the wings! read more

Good food love it and I'm about to order from the now actually lol drinks and everything is on point

Wings were amazing. Nachos were good. Bathroom was filthy with a leaking toilet. Waiter was rude. Overall atmosphere was run down an need updating. read more

The Mesquito Grill has - hands down - the best wings and variety of wings to be had anywhere. The only thing more varied would be their beer selection, they have imports there on tap and in bottles that you wont find many other places. The balance of the food is all good, for as many times as I have eaten there I have never been disappointed. OK, here's the rub. Its really loud - except at lunch - and sometimes I am convinced that there must be a black hole in existence on the premises because I have had servers simply disappear....some nights I have actually ordered two beers at a time knowing they would never make it back before I was done with one (and I'm a slow drinker). The place to avoid if you want to keep your hearing intact is the main bar (on the left as you enter). On a warm day or evening its always fun being on the second floor balcony. Your best shot of getting a seat there in the warm weather months is to get there early (430 on the weeknight). It s a treat being out there and from my experience it tends to draw the most interesting characters; I always seem to do a lot of laughing on the balcony. If you cant get a seat order the wings to go and grab a few bottles of your favorite Belgian import; it will be as good and most likely quieter! read more

This place got the trifecta - poor service, poor food, and long waits. Not enough wait staff the night we were there - and the staff was young and inexperienced. The bartender for instance was waiting on three tables himself while attempting to tend to a very busy bar. The food was bad even considering this is really a tavern. Gumbo with beef in it and no seafood? Also if you're a vegetarian - forget it - they have one vegetarian friendly offering. The one thing that saves this place is their beer selection. About the best beer selection you can find. My recommendation - go to pick up beer, but do dinner elsewhere. read more

Great Frankensause wings. True story: I was sitting at the bar watching the TV eating some Frankensauce wings and a huge 2.5 inch ( I measured him) cockroach crawled along the bar right by my plate near the beer taps. Now most people would have freaked the hell out, but that's how freaken good these wings are. I just kept eating making sure that bastard didn't get any of my wings! I can't speak to more than the wings, beer and my friend the cockroach. But all three seem to be pretty good there. read more

Went there today, food was tasty. Unfortunately we found a dead ant in our iced tea and also a green hair from one of the waitresses in our salad. Place could use a good cleaning too. I hate leaving reviews like this but it happened and that ain't cool. read more

I came here for takeout. Mesquito Grille has some of the best wings I've ever eaten. And this is coming from a huge chicken wing fanatic. The southwestern rub is to die for, and the regular hot sauce is phenomenal as well. Also -- garlic parmesan sauce? Brilliant. Wings are crispy, meaty, and you can down them by the dozen. However, the reason I'm giving it 2 stars is because of the AWFUL front counter service that completely tainted my experience here. Let me explain... I came here to pick up my order around 7:45 on a Friday night. I had called ahead about 40 minutes ago, and everything seemed to be going well. I entered the little take-out lobby and was greeted by three girls at the counter who couldn't have been older than 16. I say I'm here to pick up and they give me my total, a number that whizzes past my head and screams "hey, I'm a LOT more than I should be" but because I had such a large order I didn't think much of it, and I hand over my credit card for processing. After it's done, my girlfriend turns to me and goes "that sounded like a lot" and I asked the girl if I could have a look at an itemized version of the receipt. She ROLLS HER EYES at me and asks sarcastically "why, is something wrong?" while staring at me with some juvenile open-mouth expression that looked as if I had just told her that Miley Cyrus can twerk better than her. Um, yeah, you probably just overcharged me so let me look at the receipt you dumb bimbo. She prints out an itemized receipt and it takes her a while. She keeps giving us condescending looks as if we're making her perform some arduous task that is not part of her job description. Finally we get the itemized version and see she charged us for 30 chicken tenders, as opposed to wings, when I had clearly ordered wings. I tell her this and she glares at me and goes "no you didn't." I stare back, bewildered, and reaffirmed that I did in fact order wings and not tenders. she goes "uh, I HEARD YOU. YOU ORDERED TENDERS." wtf? just give me the wings. this isn't a big deal, i'm not mad at you, I just want chicken wings She rolls her eyes again and rudely yells "well then you're going to have to wait, right? because we have to make it all over." Fortunately the other two girls were total sweethearts and apologized for the mix-up (which was fine -- I wasn't mad at all -- I just wanted the food I had ordered) and began to work right away on the new order, which actually didn't take long at all (maybe 10 minutes tops??) Good thing the wings are so ridiculously good to justify this type of front counter behavior. PLEASE, Mesquito Grille, reconsider the type of people you are hiring to control take-out. read more

We came here prior to bringing our boys to the Kids Castle Playground and we really enjoyed the food here. I think they were called the cowboy fries which had pulled porky, hot peppers, and cheese on top and my lord they were tasty. Our almost 6yr old even liked them! We ordered the mac and cheese, fries, and tenders for the boys and they ate pretty well. The oldest definitely liked the mac and cheese. I ordered the brisket platter with garlic mashed potatoes. The brisket was flavorful but I wish the taters had more garlic and a little dollop of butter on top. My fiancé ordered a burger (forgot the name but it had an onion ring on top lol) and he enjoyed it although it was very messy. It's a tad pricey but you get a lot of food (we had two leftover containers). The staff was friendly and there was only one other couple there. We would try other things off their menu and it's less than 10min from the playground. read more

My family calls its home Buffalo, NY. So naturally I have been attacking wings since I was a toddler. These are hands down the best wings you can find in all of the Philadelphia area. Nothing comes close. Their fries are also exceptional. Their blue cheese is house made and unbelievably good. PRO TIP: Order the dry rub with a side of hot sauce. Wings will be super crispy, and you can allocate as much sauce as you want to each wing. Nom nom. read more

This is my favorite joint in Doylestown to hang out with friends and family. The wings.... Oh the wings... I've been to Duffs and Anchor bar in Buffalo and this place is better. My family and I love the wings. I enjoy the hot wings because the flavor is memorable and unique. My wife loves the spicy honey and the kids like the teriyaki. I've been here more than 50 times and the great waitress they use to have has left and the new staff is waiters are nice. The beers are the best in Dtown. Nobody compares. The outdoor seating is fun on warm days and they have an outdoor tv. Nachos are good and the sandwiches are always a hit. The ribs are meaty and not fall off the bone. Good smoke flavor with a unique BBQ sauce. Highly recommend this place. The next best bar could be found in Philly or NYC but the wings still wouldn't compare. read more

Been here about a half a dozen times and also ordered take out 3-4 times. This place has some of the best wings around. Very flavorful and many sauces to make it yours. My favorite is teriyaki and hot sauce on the side. The wings are very meaty. If you are a wing man, this place will not disappoint you. Chili here is also one of the best I've ever had (second to my wife's and a place in Quakertown). It's very rich, has a hell of a kick and has that deep multi flavorful taste. Highly recommend it, get the cup cause the bowl is pretty huge. I've had a few sandwiches here but my favorite is their special spin on Italian grinder hoagie. It's comes out like a hoagie but they add some roast beef/brisket to it and mix it with some Italian meats. This combo with fresh and crisp onions, pickles and tomatoes definitely pleases the taste buds and the tummy. Very very delicious sandwich. They also have some nice drinks, I usually order the double amaretto sour drink and usually get a nice buzz from just one. Which is rare to have now a days when you order this anywhere else. They usually have good service (ask for Mark), but sometimes they do seem to forget you and you end up waiting a bit longer as you lose to your salivary glands and wipe the drool off your table. But it's definitely worth the wait. If you are craving BBQ, this place has it all and it's very well seasoned, comes out fresh and flavorful and you leave pretty happy and full. So, why 4 stars and not 5? The take out service can be a disaster. Chances are, unless you check your order, they will forget something or get something wrong. I've had wings with no blue cheese. Sandwiches with no fries. Chili with no peppers or chips, etc. *** check your take out order before you leave and you'll be fine*** read more

See all

Best wings around! Great steaks! Good bartenders, good spot to eat, drink, and chill!

Got Door Dash from here last night and loved it! Got the bbq chicken, fries and coleslaw, just amazing top to bottom. Can't wait to try some more stuff on the menu. read more

The wings keep me coming back for more. Make sure you get them crispy with a side red hot. If don't like the thought of eating chicken off the bone, the tenders are a close second. For the beer snobs out there, the Grille is the place to go in D-town for their wide variety of micro-brews and imports. read more

Solid bar area. Great deck. Food is above average. Maybe not legendary, but it hits the spot for sure. Items ordered: brisket sandwich, hamburger with cheese and bacon, fries Verdict: recommended. Will return for the ambiance but won't balk over the food. read more

This place use to be great. Wings are still decent, but inconsistent. I definitely no longer recommend this establishment. It is absolutely disgusting inside. I've been poured warm beers on several occasions. There is a very apparent reason that all of the regulars drink bottled beer when they have all the same on tap. It is a real shame as the location has so much potential and the upstairs deck gives you a great view of town. read more

Mesquito Grille was just okay for me. The wings are great, but the blue cheese - arguable the most important part of the buffalo wing experience - was tasteless and strange. I could hardly tell if it was blue cheese. Not a good sign. We ordered a rack of ribs and fries as well. The ribs were mediocre at best - extremely tough, too tough. Could hardly get any meat off the bone. We were told the fries are like Chickie's and Pete's fries without the cheese sauce. They weren't. Not even close. The atmosphere of Mesquito's, however, was lovely. We sat on the roof and had it to ourselves. Unfortunately it meant we were fairly ignored by the waitstaff. Had I been in a different mood, I would have more unfavorable things to say about the service, but I was relaxed and in no rush. Anyway, long story short, I wouldn't go back. Maxwell's on Main has WAY better wings and a better overall menu. read more

So now that I've returned to being a carnivore, I can say the wings I had tonight were so incredibly good. I'm anxious to try the other dry-rub options (tonight I had the hickory BBQ) I've had the friend pickles all over town (MOMS, Hickory) and these are the best. Thick slices, crisp breading- yum!! Beer selection is amazing as always. The owner clearly appreciates sitting down and breaking meat, bread and beer with people. read more

We had a wonderful dinner there. It is hard to say which we enjoyed more - the ribs or the nachos. Actually we get both and split them between us. read more

I had been by here a billion times and never been in. They have a very decent selection of beer on tap and bottled, and tasty wings! They had some truly amazing specials for EuroCup, which was also pretty exciting. I will be returning for some more wings next time I am in PA. read more

Decent food - get their wings, they rock! Beer selection is exensive and not too expensive. read more

One word......GUMBO!!! Not only is gumbo a unique menu selection and hard to find around this area to begin with, but the gumbo here is FANTASTIC!! One bowl is a meal in itself! The wings (as many other point out) are some of the best in the area....particularly the garlic parmesan (get them with extra sauce so you can really smother them and get a really full flavored wing) I also need to make sure I mention the ribs! Especially rubs in the southwest dry rub! So tender.....so delicious! Why not a five star review considering all of this? Unfortunately....they have little to no dessert selections. After wings, or gumbo, or ribs sometimes it's nice to have a little something sweet. Not an option here....which is a shame because with how great their food is I can only imagine what they could do with a dessert menu! read more

Pros: - Top 5 wings place in the country (please, someone argue that). Normal, hot and frankensauce are my favorite. Still waiting for them to do the southwest dry rub with a wet sauce on top. Request well done - Great beer menu that is constantly changing. - not sure what they put in the balsamic vin salad dressing but it's awesome - Cool bar downstairs and rugby room upstairs highlighting doylestown rugby club Cons (which still don't deter my 5 stars due to wing quality): - A little underwhelmed with other things on the menu but then again, I'm going for the wings - Service can be spotty at times... Seems like a high staff turnover - blue cheese is sub par for the wings but I don't thing they even need it read more

Review for food only: The meat (ribs and brisket in sandwich) tasted okay, but they did NOT seem fresh-made. The brisket was uniformly dark brown, rather than just at the edges where the bark should be, and the ribs also were brown on the cut edge, showing that they'd been cut apart hours before rather than just for our order. No smoke line, no pinky-pork. The fries tasted great except VERY salty. Understand this is to encourage beer consumption but it was too much. The mac n cheese was penne with the cheese poorly mixed in. Tasted okay but that's not mac n cheese. The mashed potatoes tasted great. read more

I've been to this place a bunch of times. They have several nice bar areas and a very extensive list of beers. Most recently, I went to Mesquito Grille on a Saturday night, around 5 pm. (There was no wait this time since it was so early, but you will have to wait longer to be seated if you go at a later time.) I have always been pleased with the selection of wings they have to offer, but decided to try something new this time. I ordered a hamburger that came with a slice of pepper jack cheese, hot peppers, and chili. Trust me, the chili and burger were both nothing to rave about. The chili didn't have much taste and the burger was very dry tasting. How disappointing! I did order a side salad instead of fries. The portion of the side salad was excellent, and the lettuce was fresh, green, and crispy. I was with 2 other people and here is the breakdown of what they ordered... Companion # 1 - Cuban tacos which consisted of pulled pork in taco shells. It came with refried beans and spanish rice. Companion # 1 said his entree was very tasty and enjoyable. The meat was fresh and cooked just right. Companion # 2 - Grilled chicken sandwich with french fries. The chicken was moist and the roll was soft and fresh. The french fries were beer battered, always a plus and quite delicious. (I even tried a french fry! It was really yummy!) If you're in Doylestown and looking to try some new types of beers and tasty wings, this is the staple of the area for these two items. read more

Have not been here in a few years and now remember why. The food was actually not bad but the service was beyond terrible. The only thing worse than the service was how dirty and unkempt the place was. We suffered through it all and were laughing on the way out about how we would NEVER return again when we were confronted by a spill of red wine on the staircase and no one in sight ready to clean it up. I could go on giving specifics of how terrible it was but I just can't waste anymore time. read more

Great food. Service sucked. Waited 20 minutes and finally approached wait staff. The irony of the "wait" staff... perhaps if they spent more time focusing on clients rather than their inability to sing music from their cell phones at the bar, service wouldn't have been half bad. I chuckled when others had to ask staff members for their check from our waitress too. read more

First time trying this out. We ordered "platters" which includes a side, your choice of barbecue. We ordered a side of beans, a side of Cole slaw. We got it home to find, no side portion of Cole slaw, no barbecue sauce (ummm?? isn't that what type of food this is?) and that was it. No offer of bread, I'm not even sure it was supposed to come with it, but a platter in my mind is a little more than just the meat portion, When I ordered, the girl was giggling to someone in the background, which would be fine, but I think that was how our order was only half complete. She hung up without a good bye. When we went to pick it up, we just saw complete chaos. Trouble with the credit card machine, door dash drivers, frantic waitresses. We'll try again but only because it was Sat night and peak dinner time. read more

Really was looking forward to a good barbecue place. The service was good. The cocktails were decent...I had a smokey variation of a margarita. The deep fried pickle appetizer was very good. Unfortunately, the ribs...the main course, were over done and very fatty. These ribs were so fatty even the best chef could not rescue them. Hopefully, the restaurant will consider a new supplier for their meats. A great barbecue place in Doylestown is definitely an opportunity for the right restaurant. read more

Tried to order takeout and was told kitchen was closed as it reached capacity due to Eagles game. Phones were not answered and nothing posted on website or social media. Had to drive to restaurant only to be turned away...bad form. Lost business. read more

Our first time there, and was expecting something different, but it is a funky, casual 2 - story restaurant in a great location in Doylestown. Reminded me of a South Street or Manayunk type of eclectic atmosphere. Really wanted Wings, however, they were totally out of them, which was a bummer. The burger with pork, onion rings, etc. (I forget what it was called) was DELICIOUS. We also had the Fish and Chips, and they were excellent. I do think their Fries are over-seasoned, but still good. Next time I would ask to have less old bay added. On a negative note, service was seriously bad. Cannot remember name of server, but she was very lax, a little rude. But we will go back, hopefully will be able to try the wings, which I hear are awesome. read more

After receiving our checks we decided to pay up front instead of waiting. After we paid and were heading out, Stella, our waitress complains that we gave no tip on the receipt. We continue out because we are aware that we left a 20% tip on the table before getting up. She proceeds to walk outside and flip us off while complaining that we gave no tip. I go back in to inform her of her mistake and that we left the tip upstairs, but her attitude still remained. Definitely not deserving of a 20% tip. read more

We used to go here a lot before kids, and we enjoyed the food and the atmosphere, but the service is too slow for a sit-down with kids. Take-out is pretty slow too. I've called to order their BBQ chicken off the rotisserie (after confirming that there was one ready) and had to wait 20min after arriving for someone to finally cut and box it up. I really love that BBQ chicken though. Almost worth the wait. read more

The fries are so good, the wings are so good (try their combination of all their sauces: frankensauce). It feels homey, too. I love it there and the family That owns it is very nice. (Servers sometimes aren't amazing but you can't have too high of expectations somewhere so busy) read more

Got our take out rally screwed up, got burger, not chicken, fries gastly seasoned, stay away!
