    New York Melt Sandwich (12.19.24)
    Carroll N.

    12.19.24 I came with a friend for lunch today and was surprised at how good the food was. I ordered the New York Melt with old Bay fries and hot chocolate. I loved everything I ordered. Our server was nice. We were there for four hours catching up and we never felt rushed to leave. The restaurant is located in the Olney shopping center. I enjoyed my lunch and would definitely return.

    The service was excellent. Most of the food was really good (the crab cake was real crab and not bread crumbs, the spiced shrimp was delicious...). Some good was good or okay (the "old bay" fries were just good fries but not seasoned, the potato skins were heavy on cheese but not flavorful...). Prices a bit steep, but not ridiculous. Big issue -- check the latest health code situation as this place has had many recurring sanitation issues.

    This is a classic go to place in olney for a quality meal that's just a little fancy. Good for a date night, celebrating an occasion, or just having an evening dinner. There is a dining room with tables, booths, and bar seating. This place is basically an institution it's been here that long. If I am in the mood for a nice burger or a steak, I'll come here. The bar has televisions usually playing sports. There's bathrooms in the back near the kitchen. You don't need a reservation but I always suggest you make one. This place gets really busy on a Friday and Saturday night. The food is delicious and I've frequented here more times than I can count. The price range is $$. The staff are friendly and there is good service. I really enjoy coming here. The menu is more succinct and doesn't change that often. They do have a daily specials menu that changes. It is a great place to all ages, families, party sizes. It has that home town local dinner spot vibe. My food is always delicious, I definitely recommend coming here. There is parking in the shopping center and a small lot in the back. You can order to go, you pick up and pay at the bar. You can also order through food delivery services.

    The Grille Sliced Steak Salad

    I was invited to a birthday dinner at the Olney Grille. I was a little hesitant because I had not heard about the restaurant in years. But, I am glad I went. It was packed with diners on a Saturday night and the wait staff was on top of it. We had a party of ten and the waiter got the table drinks and warm bread right away. They had all of the orders out at the same time and everyone seemed pleased. The huge hits of the evening were the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy. I have never seen a plate wiped cleaner in a shorter amount of time. My friend scarfed the meatloaf and mashed potatoes down and was really happy with his dish. It looked homemade. I had the steak salad and it was delicious. There were many grilled vegetables and a fair amount of tender steak. I really enjoyed my meal and would order it again. The birthday boy ordered pork chops and he loved his meal. My only hiccup was that I asked the waiter for a separate check in the beginning of our order. When, we were getting ready to leave he said that they didn't do separate checks. Then, he said that he didn't want everybody else in my party to ask for separate checks. I thought that was not honest and he shouldn't have waited till the end of the meal to let me know that. So, the food was good and the service was good, but clear any requests with management or you might get a surprise at the end of your evening, as I did. I would go back again and ask for a different server. An oldie can be a goodie, even with restaurants.

On this visit, we both got selections like what we had around our early times of visiting this spot. I cannot remember what my friend got, but I ordered one of the "Feasty Specials" which had 1/2 Snow Crab Legs and 1/2 Headless Shrimp. It came with sausages (sliced in pieces), 1 Corn (about 1/4 size), 1 Egg, and 2 Potatoes (the skin easily comes off). You get to pick the seasoning and I had Old Bay. What is presented to you is a large clear bag, steamed up and tied, with seasonings and all mixed up. It is served on a metal tray, and they also place an empty bowl on your table for discarding things. Plastic bib was on, bag opened, and I was ready to dig in. The seasoning took me back to my second visit a few years ago. It was when I first tasted their Old Bay mix and became a fan of it. This Feasty Special was just enough and I was glad to switch things up for a change.

    Overall, this is an average experience out…read more The good - plenty of options on their all you can eat menu, or at least for us. Overall, the food is good, and, in our opinion, you do get what you pay for. Keep in mind that they DO charge you if you have leftover food on your table when you are done. Be mindful of that and make sure to let them know as you are finishing up, and want more, to scale down your portion size. There is a 90-minute window to eat. The servers don't really go over the menu much, so if it is your first time for all you can eat, make sure to take notice that the crab legs do come with a few different flavor options. The bad - They started a new policy, which I understand, but do not like. If you want all you can eat, everyone who is at the table must all order it as well, or nobody can. I understand they are protecting their profits, but that has taken us away from this place on more than one occasion to eat elsewhere as some wanted it and another family members wanted to order off the main menu. Also, service can be extremely slow, and I am not sure if it is intentional or not, but we have complained more than once and made them extend our time. Last time we went, they set our first order of food down on the table and as we were eating, the waitress walked by no less then 5 times and didn't bother to ask if we wanted anything else. Then, magically, when our food was gone, we could not get anyone to come to the table for 15 minutes. Upon ordering our next round, it took another 20 more minutes for the food to arrive. They are sticklers about the 90-minute time frame, and we explained that twice this has happened and 60 minutes of our 90 minutes was wasted waiting on a server and then the food took forever. They allowed us one more round of food, which we appreciated and thought was fair. We start a stopwatch now and if we feel things are going slow, we address that with the server and sometimes put in a new order when the food is being dropped off. Overall, we are pleased to come here a few times a year. We only get all you can eat and usually are happy when we leave. The food is inconsistent as we do get the lobster tail with all you can eat, and it is usually overcooked and can chew like rubber, but still has good flavor. The crab legs sometimes come out waterlogged with salt, but most times piping hot. This is your typical "average" 3-star restaurant. If you are prepared to spend the money for all you can eat, you will leave satisfied and full, but never will you think "I wish I could come here every week". I have not ordered specific entrees off the regular menu so I cannot speak on portion size or quality of the food by ordering that way. Staff is always pleasant, but you do need to get on them if they are slacking.

We started with the Grand Caviar tasting, which was the most expensive caviar option on the menu. For the price, I expected much more. The caviar was extremely salty, to the point where it felt like additional salt had been added on top. The tasting included three varieties of caviar. The caviar they used on one was the exact caviar they used in sushi. Our second appetizer, the tuna dish, was significantly better. While the presentation could have been more refined and visually appealing, the flavor exceeded expectations and was one of the stronger dishes we tried. For my entrée, I ordered the branzino. The fish itself was decent, but def not crispy but it was salty. The sauce was salty and the fish was salty making the entire plate feel like salt layered upon salt. Additionally, the skin was advertised as crispy, but it lacked the crisp texture I was expecting. My husband ordered the rainbow trout stuffed with crab. It was enjoyable and probably the most balanced entrée of the evening, though it wasn't particularly memorable. For sides, I ordered the wild mushrooms, and my husband chose the risotto. The risotto had good flavor but seemed slightly undercooked. The mushroom side was also on the salty side, and despite being described as "wild mushrooms," it consisted primarily of portobello mushroom.

We were hoping to find a quiet table where we could enjoy a long conversation. Unfortunately, we later discovered it didn't matter where we sat because the restaurant was so loud that it was difficult to hear each other. That aside, we thoroughly enjoyed the service provided by the charming and personable Andrew. My friend had several questions and special requests, and he remained professional, patient, and accommodating throughout our visit. Andrew started us off with complimentary pita bread. We initially paired it with the harissa, but found it a bit too spicy for our tastes, so we asked for butter and olive oil instead. We ordered the spanakopita, chicken souvlaki, gyros, and loukoumades for dessert. Of the four dishes, the gyros were our favorite, although everything we tried was delicious. The only disappointment was the spanakopita. At $14, we felt the portion was on the small side for the price. When we arrived, there were only a few other diners, but within an hour the restaurant was packed. We were definitely glad we came early. Overall, we both agreed that the food and service were exceptional. The only drawback was the noise level. We had so much to catch up on, and it would have been a much more enjoyable experience if we hadn't had to compete with the volume of the restaurant just to carry on a conversation.

We started off with the salad. It is in a nice sized bowl with greens, cucumber, tomatoes, onions, green peppers and feta cheese, but it is drenched in dressing. I'll have to see if they can make the dressing optional the next time. I ordered the Cava Gyro that also came with fries. Everything was so good as I expected it to be. Perfect temperature too. The other in our party had the same thing and enjoyed their sandwich as well. For dessert I enjoyed their Greek donuts called Loukoumades. In a few pictures online it looks like it is served with the fixings already poured on the donuts - the Nutella and the honey and walnuts, but when I received the dish, each item was separate, so they put you in charge of doing the drizzling of those toppings - I like it. The donuts were round and plump (7 total) with a little sprinkling of sugar and are very airy when you eat each. It has become one of my favorites here. Joey was our server and he provided top notch service. Hope to get him again.

The hostess seemed to avoid eye contact for about five minutes even though we were standing right in front of her. It felt a little like we had shown up too early for a surprise party that was clearly not for us. Once we were seated, everything improved. Our waitress, Paige, was attentive, thoughtful, and made the experience feel genuinely warm. We started with the mussels, which were exceptional; meaty, creamy, and delicious, with bread good enough to make restraint feel optional. We also had the mini Paloma oyster shooters, which were fun and memorable. I ordered a seasonal cocktail with very little simple syrup, since I usually do not like sweet drinks, and they got it exactly right, which is rarer than it should be. For the main course, we had the seasonal surf and turf special, an 8 oz filet mignon with crab meat over asparagus and succotash. The crust on the steak was excellent, the vegetables were perfectly seasoned, and the filet was cooked exactly as ordered. We finished with their newer take on key lime pie, which was very good and nicely balanced; not too sweet, not too tart. We spent just under $100 per person, so this is not an inexpensive night out. That said, the food quality and service largely justify the price. Overall, aside from the awkward start at the hostess stand, this was an excellent first visit. We spent just under $100 per person, so GrillMarX is not playing in the bargain bin, but the food and service were strong enough that we would absolutely come back
