This place was a one-and-done experience for us. Never again!!…read more My husband and I ended up here after the Dave Chappelle show because our original dinner plans fell through when the restaurant was fully booked. We should have made reservations, but at that point, all we wanted was a decent meal (nothing fancy) after a long workweek and then to head home. Unfortunately, a decent meal didn't happen. The food was some of the worst we've had in a long time. My husband actually spit food into his napkin, shook his head, and said, "I'm done." I've never seen him do that before. Several dishes were simply inedible. The mashed potatoes were bland and flavorless--how do you mess up mashed potatoes? The potato salad was equally bland and disappointing. The French onion soup had very little broth and was overloaded with a thick layer of hardened cheese. Overall, the food tasted cheap and poorly prepared, yet the prices suggested otherwise. It felt like diner-quality food being sold at premium prices. What made the experience even more frustrating was the manager's response. He came to our table after hearing about our concerns, but instead of focusing on the quality issues we raised, he seemed more concerned that my husband refused to order a replacement meal. That spoke volumes about where the priorities were. The one bright spot was our server, who was attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the meal. No complaints regarding the server as he was extremely apologetic with our experience. To our surprise, the restaurant also added an automatic gratuity to our bill. Ironically, had that not been done, we likely would have tipped our server more because he was not the problem. The kitchen and management were. No, I didn't complain about the tip after I noticed it on our bill. We were over the experience and just wanted to pay and get the hell out of there. Save yourself the disappointment and spend your hard earned money elsewhere. We certainly wish we had. Gordon Ramsay, if you're looking for a future Kitchen Nightmares episode, this place could desperately use the help. P.S. A business name change is not going to help with the quality of the food. Do better and prove that you actually care about your customers, not just the $$.

Service was good; our waitress was friendly and they were attentive about keeping drinks full. Orders came out quickly and accurate My bf ordered chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, and mac and cheese. I ordered a New Orleans panini (Cajun seasoned chicken, mushrooms, Swiss. Also came with onions which I omitted) and subbed mac and cheese in place of fries. The mashed potatoes were very bland and the consistency was meh. Not very creamy or flavorful. The gravy was very good. The steak was also well prepared and good with the gravy. The mac and cheese had a really nice, creamy consistency with a good cheese pull, but also lacked seasoning imo. The panini was very good. The chicken had good seasoning and was tender and the sandwich was nicely pressed and toasty. Prices were fair especially for the large portions, but not accurate to the menu (which a sign on the door warns about, but I still feel accurate prices should be available). Overall, though it was hit or miss I'd return and try some other items. I just wish seasoning was a bit more consistent since I love sides as much as I love mains.

This is my first time leaving a review but I feel like I have to. Pete's Grille was a good place ,but over tye last 5 years it has become something else, let me start with this, I am a regular that decided to create this profile just to write this review.. let me star with the owner daughter Jennifer, she is horrible , every time you go in there she is bitching and bitchin about how mich she hates her job and how stupid costumers are , like she is loud and we can all hear what everyone says In there, she always says am tire of dealing with a this stupid fuxks costumers at the window and in the counter, we all heard and she is just there being a bitch but yeah she expects all costumers to tip her and if someone doesn't she starts bitching, is horrible, I feel sorry for everyone working with her, I wouldn't be able to work next to her , maybe that's why they can't find help, ray Crum, you are trusting the wrong person to make the decisions there.. . Don't let her run this restaurant she can't she is killing Pete's..food is great, all other employees work hard while she bitches all day, debbie don't say a word she juts looks miserable, the cook works his ass off, don't scare him away, besides that Pete's is ok, but was way better ... read more

This morning we stood outside the establishment at 7am. The waitress inside, a strawberry blonde w/ a bouffant stood behind the counter, back toward us, starring at us by means of a mirror. She never acknowledged our presence. 2 mins later a large man came and unlocked the door and pushed it slightly as he walked away. As the door slammed closed, my sister n I looked at each other in puzzlement. Perhaps they were having a bad day? Then as soon as we entered, the place reeked of cigarette smoke - is that not against the law?? We immediately left. What a horrible 1st encounter. They will NEVER get our money. We left and found a very nice diner with friendly customer service. Seems like the Health Department needs to look into this... read more

Good ole Petes! Been coming here since I was a kid, so yes, my review is biased, but only because it is true. This place has been flipping baltimores finest pancakes for years. I would highly recommend getting the large stack because these things are addicting. Personally, I like my pancakes with butter and just a touch of syrup. When you come here, you need neither, they are great plain, but so am I. read more
