Friday evening and sat on the patio as the sun set. First impressions is it's an older business that could be updated a bit. Upon sitting, got a nasty whiff of cigarette smoke. And noticed people smoking. So it's allowed apparently there. And not being a smoker. It's disgusting to smell. Got a draft beer that was nice and cold. Ordered the buttered chicken dish with naan. Chicken was nice and tender. Full of flavor. Overall decent dish. And got carrot cake for desert. The cake was I assumed microwaved. And it had warm spots and cold. Not the best or the worst. Overall an ok experience other the. Dealing with the cig smoke. It should not be allowed at a restaurant. read more

New management. No more bison. Hamburger meat is tiny. Chicken dish tried 3x since change of owner. Terrible- jerky once, all knuckles and scraps, or very little meat. 180 out from what it was. I'm out read more

This place couldn't have a more peaceful back patio. It's one of the only places in town to enjoy the lake while eating. Serving elevated bar food with phenomenal fried fish, you won't be disappointed! Great service from friendly staff. Make sure you stop in and try the fish! read more

The fish and chips basket is so good..light batter..done right. My wife has the 2 for 1 margaritas..and loves them. We were here just 3 days ago, we enjoy this place. read more

The deck and chairs need work. Sunset was beautiful. Food was ok. I still don't understand when you have an order of fish and chips you get either chips or coleslaw I totally don't understand that. They should just offer the fish. read more

My wife and I went to the Sunset Grille and had a wonderful meal. I had the Seafood Bisque soup and Crab Cakes. My wife had the Junior Fish Sandwich. For dessert we had Carrot Cake.

We have friends that would give you a 10 if they could. The food just wasn't to our liking. On top of that we got bad service. They never came back to fill our drinks. Or ask us if every thing was alright. read more

First time visiting this eatery. Liked the idea of deck seating, if it was a little warmer, we would have used it. Inside is down homey, nothing special, but it is well lit and comfortable. Service was outstanding, our server was pleasant and knowledgeable. Menu is well laid out and easy to read. Our server answered all of our questions. Iced tea was very good. Food arrived in short order, pipping hot. My wife's Maui-Maui was excellent, my fisherman's platter was a little disappointing. A massive piece of fish was excellent, fries were not bad. Not sure what the little brown things were, i think they were scallops. The shrimp was ok. Overall we had a nice night out, in a quiet setting with an attentive server, the price was very reasonable. All in all a nice experience. read more

Outdoor sitting, beautiful lake view! Food was "extraordinary" but satisfying. ( Chicken wings are very good!) Next visit I want to try more " India" based food...as in, Butter Chicken, it looks good! Service was a bit slow. read more

Excellent service in a beautiful setting right on the lake. I had seafood over pasta in an incredible sauce.

Sunset Grille - Shrimp scallops and lobster in a vodka like sauce - American Near Me - Sebring, Florida

We were a party of 10. I had made a reservation but when we arrived there was another large party seated in the area we had planned to use. The servers immediately showed me another area and in less time than it took the rest of the party to come inside they had the area set up for us. Our waitress was efficient at getting drinks and taking our orders. Shared appetizers( gator bites and breaded mushrooms)were delivered quickly and our dinners came in shortly after. Most of us ordered seafood.. Grouper Reuben , red snapper, seafood pasta all were well cooked and seasoned. The butter chicken pleased and the BLT sandwich amazed us with the amount of bacon. Our only disappointment was they were out of curry lamb which had been one of the resins to go there. But everything we tried was delicious and we will be back to try some of the Indian offerings. read more

Sooooo I haven't been here in over 5 years and a Yelp birdie told me there's new management and a new menu so off I went. Atmosphere- Physically, nothing has changed so, if you wish, you can peruse my first review for that stuff. Just remember there is an awesome deck on Lake Jackson with plenty of pics from my fellow Yelpers. So, what has changed? Customer Service- I was touched by both the manager and my bartender/server and both were friendly, genuine, and efficient. No complaints at all but also nothing that made me go OMG so a solid 4 stars. Food- Yup, it's an American menu alright with a twist here and there. Tons of appetizers along with plenty of seafood, steaks, burgers, tacos, and assorted sandwiches. One of the twists was an appetizer that sounded awesome! Kicken Balls ($5.50)- Spicy Potato Balls Stuffed with Beef & Pork Served with our Buffalo Dipping Sauce. I was by myself, and I knew I would never finish these and an entrée, so I passed. However, a neighboring table ordered them, and they looked incredible, and it was clear everybody loved them. I love Cajun spices, so I smiled when I spotted this- Mardi Gras ($17)- Cajun Chicken Served Over Linguini with Sautéed Mushrooms, Tomatoes & Scallions Finished in a Creamy Cajun Cheese Sauce. So of course, I ordered it. I waited a while for it but not long enough to complain. This was a very very good dish! Although hard to tell in my pic there was plenty of blackened chicken. The Cajun Cheese Sauce was the star of the show! It had a nice kick and was just the right consistency. I do have a couple of quibbles. $17 is a bit too high for what it is, the atmosphere it's served in, and a Highlands County location. I understand it was once $15 which would be about right. The linguine was overcooked (not al dente) which I totally expected in a casual place like this, but it is what it is! Would I order it again? You bet! I'm gonna make some plans to come down here with two or three friends so we can split some appetizers, have an adult libation or two or three and enjoy the deck at sunset! read more

Very original menu with outstanding food. Servers are friendly and efficient. Peaceful setting right on the lake.

Went here yesterday with another couple for dinner. Service very very slow and the food was not good. Fisherman's platter......heavily breaded small shrimp, scallops tasted like fish, fried crab balls were burnt. The only good thing is the lakeview. We will not eat here again. read more

Went to Sunset Grille for the lakeside ambiance on a Saturday evening. Weather was cool for locals, thus inside was full. But there wasn't much seating indoors, outside plenty of seating, but 80% empty. We were told as we were handed menus and silverware at the hostess station, to sit anywhere we want. We were also told that we may have to wait 35 minutes for our food. OK, we said, it's the ambiance we were there to enjoy.... Three really badly prepared drinks later, my wife states, we've been here for an hour! We had ordered our food quite quickly after seating. It was dark on the deck seating, no table lights for ambiance or to even see our food to eat. When food did arrive, wife's chicken wings were cold as if it had been waiting for my very large portion of Mahi-mahi to be cooked. The Mahi was warm, the fries were cool and undercooked. We had to ask for condiments, salt & pepper. Overall impression? If you want to go sit and drink beer or wine, it's a good spot. You can sober up between cocktail waitress visits. ' I will not go there again unless it changes ownership or management. Service and food subpar for such an excellent location. read more

Great location on Lake Jackson in Sebring. Don't judge a place by the outside. Nice deck facing the water. Definitely a locals place. Had one of their main dishes. Fish and chips. Fish was delicious. Enjoyed their blood Mary. Hubby had blackened Mahi-mahi sandwich.. nothing special but still good. It's a great place to spend some time if your in town or driving through. Oh and they have all day two for one Margaritas. read more

The cheapest seafood used. The baked potato was sent out cool to the touch. Won't be back again all the seafood tasted processed.

Seems to be a lot of haters who only reviewed walking in and out...this is a true Florida slow style place. The staff is friendly, answered our many questions and even joked with us. I really enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. I also think we probably had the best waitress in the place. We both ordered the grouper dinner special with baked potato and side salad. Fish was good, I also asked for a side of the caper lemon aoli which was delicious and made the fish even better. We were bummed that fish tacos are only available for lunch, I couldn't have the shell anyway, they looked to be flour but I was looking forward to trying the grouper tacos with no shell! Maybe for lunch tomorrow. They are located on the water with outdoor seating area, it's very tranquil. Staff was attentive, we will definitely be back. read more

Don't go to this place. Food was not good, chips with the fish and chips were not potato chips, they were strips of something with little taste. Soup tasted burnt and was very salty. Friday evening and only two occupied tables. An 80# pit bull at one table and kids having temper tantrums in a room behind the bar. I do not normally do reviews, however I am doing this one because I was asked to do a review in an email I received from Yelp. read more

Ok so here's the words our waitress told us at least 6 times while there..."sorry we're out of that" but in reality they had it but were saving it for the owners family get together they were having that night (our server informed us) - literally everything we asked for they didn't have including the dessert! So I'm confused...is the owner in business to make money and have good customer service or is this restaurant to entertain his family?? Shouldn't they have made extra of what he list on the menu (the Mediterranean food) that he was saving to serve his family or just have the poor server continually tell us "we don't have that item or that one, nope not that one either ‍ should have just pulled out the Mediterranean section of the menu that would have been a lot easier. We went there to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather and they use to have the BIGGEST and most beautiful oak tree and guess what he cut off all the big gorgeous branches WHAT???? Looks horrible now - Omg we were in shock with that also.... No more band stage for the live music they use to have - just a sad looking oak tree out there...that was a gorgeous at least 100 year old Live Oak Tree! I heard it's a new owner and something tells me they'll never last!!! Not to mention the food we ordered was not good, one of the items was the seafood bisque (server told us it was lobster bisque) tasted like a bowl of salty cheez whiz with some kind of fish bits thrown in there. Also had the fish and chips, hmmm very mediocre at best. And wait ordered the live bread to go with the soup & what in the world was that?? Been in Sebring for 17 years now and we certainly won't be coming back here... read more

Hubby and I went here for our anniversary dinner. Our experience here was so so. We wanted seafood and read positive reviews about this place. Well, apparently this place was sold 9 months ago and we did not know this. I guess the reviews were a little older than I realized. The seafood was decent but could have been Captain "D" for all I know. We chose yellow rice with our meal. I have had lots of yellow rice in my life and this was definitely mislabeled. It was LEMON rice. Very strong lemon rice. Anyway, the service was decent. The young man was the new owners nephew and he was very sweet. We did have crab cakes but the funny thing was is that he brought our appetizer but didn't bring us any extra plates. So hubby and I just slid the plate back & forth across from each other. Though it was a bit comical, the guy never came back with little plates read more

When we arrived here yesterday, we had relatively low expectations based on the reviews. We had a group of 7 and decided to sit outside on the back deck. The appetizers included loaded potato skins and crab stuffed jalapeno poppers. The poppers were good while the potato skins were just ok. After that, nearly everything was very good. I got to try a few things or get feedback on others. I can report that the fish and chips was really good as was the reuben with corned beef and the grilled chicken caesar salad. The BLT looked good as well as the burger. No one seemed unhappy when we left. Since, we had mentioned some of the negative reviews when we arrived, it seemed that everyone was surprised by them after we had all finished. The beer options are a little disappointing (no IPAs or Porters / Stouts). The Bloody Marys were very good. All I can say is that we had a Great experience and would definitely come back again. Hope this helps. read more

Had menus on the tables closed waitress walk past us on the way back. I asked her if we were gonna be served. She said oh I'm sorry I didn't know this place wasn't the best from the previous owners and from what I see it looks like it went downhill on the Service side, two for one margaritas were watered down couldn't even taste the lime read more

Very bad experience! The server was high, hitting on me in front of my wife! Terrible service and the server was in major argument with bartender. We were out with family, very embarrassed we brought them there! read more

Service was slow and food was just eh. Nothing to brag about for sure. Like everywhere else a little pricy for what you get as well. Guess I'll keep looking for good seafood in Sebring. read more

Stopped in for lunch and was greeted promptly and our server was very friendly. Great views. The food was brought out quickly and tasted fresh. No complaints at all on our meals or service. Only thing I didn't care for was beer was served in a really small plastic cup and was pricey for the amount. Would definitely return. read more

I went based on the reviews on here and I'm so glad I did. The food was absolutely spectacular! They have a nice outdoor patio that overlooks the lake and is perfect. They have a full bar with drink specials. The Hawaiian seafood dish was great! Mahi mahi with coconut shrimp in a sambuca mango sauce with rice was one of the best dishes I've had! Definitely need to stop in! read more

Disappointing. The menu on the website is not the same as what we got tonight. We tried to sit on the patio but as soon as my wife sat down a bird shit on her, so we went inside. The gator was tail extra chewy (not the worst I've ever had but not that great). Wife got the shrimp BLT it fell apart before she could get a single bite. It was soggy. I got the chicken sandwich, it wasn't terrible but it was served on toast, not quite what I was expecting. Halfway through our dinner we noticed a guest dumping fries off the deck to feed the birds...and another guest started smoking on the patio next to people eating, glad we went inside. The service however was great, our server was friendly, the appropriately attentive and our drinks were never empty! read more

Food was awful . Absolutely no flavor. Service was accompanying , deck dining nice but needs music.

Service was slow, and they are going away from beef over to a non beef menu , Won't be back as they were out of more things then they had Who serves the peal and eat shrimp at room temperature and has no cocktail sauce, HELLO ITS KETCHUP MAYO AND HORSERADISH seems like they are moving away from what people will eat in Sebring. read more

Don't judge the outside of the building, when you walk through the doors you'll see why. Then you'll see why once you've eaten. The food was very good. We were only there once, the staff was great I'm sure we will be going back. read more

My wife and I were staying in Sebring for 9 days and we were happy to find the sunset grille here on yelp. Beautiful location on the water with outdoor seating and an extensive seafood menu. We enjoyed drinks and our meal, even if the service was a little slow. I'm used to that in Florida. And the view across the lake was great, so we didn't mind the wait. At the end of our trip, we did something we almost never do. We went back a second time. There were things on the menu that I wanted to try. When we walked in we were greeted by a waitress, handed menus, and told she would be right back to take our order. Spoiler Alert. We never saw her again. After about 10 minutes I told a passing waitress that we were abandoned. She said she would find "our " waitress. After another 10 minutes went by she asked if "our" waitress ever came back. When I told her no she said that she would take our order and give it to "our" waitress. She should have just offered to wait on us at that point. But I gave her our order for drinks, appetizers, and entrees. Another 10 minutes went by without any service. By this point there were tables around us that were seated after us, that were already served. I set a timer and gave them another 5 minutes just to be certain that I wasn't being unreasonable and then I did something I have only done once before in my lifetime. I walked out. But there is a silver lining to this story. We left here and found the Blue Lagoon saloon. Had a completely different experience. Look for my review on that wonderful seafood restaurant and how they avoid ignoring their clients. Ok. They're not on a lake, but I'll definitely go back there for the food AND the service. read more

Good seafood and good service, though the outside looks a bit aged. Of course, if the weather is cooperating, you'll want to sit outside on the deck and enjoy the sunset (which is actually behind you but it makes the lake look lovely). Not much of a beer selection, but I was able to find something worth drinking with my seafood platter. Some clams, some shrimp, some scallops and a huge piece of flounder in a lemony batter and sauce, with a big pile of tasty yellow rice and some over-steamed veggies. Once the mosquitoes showed up, I left. It was a good meal and I enjoyed the time. You will too. read more
