“ I ate everything on my plate. If my mother was with me, she would be very proud. I also ate some of my wife's plate. This food is very good here. I had the chicken fried steak and my wife had the pork ribeye the sweet potato fries are really good and the mashed potatoes are silky smooth. My cocktail could use more salt on the ring of the rim and my wife said her cocktail was very good. You get a lot of green beans with the meal. The green beans have some kind of flavoring on them that makes them taste delicious. They played Gen x music the whole time and if I was so inclined I would have got up and danced. ”
“ Great place to eat! Simple homestyle food, made to a higher standard than you'd expect. Everything on the menu is delicious! My go-to is the guac burger! Top notch service and a cozy dining room as well! Highly recommend Mettle Grill for a somewhat casual sit-down experience! ”
“ I am suprised how good this food ended up tasting! The menu has plenty of gems to be found. I had a peanutbutter burger with bbq added which was fantastic and the sweet potatoe fries were cooks so perfectly . My partners ordered Steak Alfredo which they loved and I tried as well. The flavors are not basic here and are 8.5/10 in my books ”
“ This place is tremendous. Eaten here multiple times and it’s always been great. The service is always quick and on par, no matter how busy they are. The food is delicious and the prices are fair, same for the drinks. Also, the bartender is always killing it, cannot recommend enough!!! ”
“ 10 out of 10 would recommend. Our server was a manager and we met the owner/chef. Some of the most humble nicest people, they were the real deal. I had the chicken fired steak - meat in your mouth! One of the best I have ever had. My bf from Boston had the fish and chips - he loved it and said it was amazing. The portions were generous and the bill was just right. Go there! ”
“ The food was delicious! The sauteed green beans were absolutely amazing!! Our server seemed a little distracted, but overall did well. This a great place to grab lunch and it’s close to my job! I’ll be back ”
“ Excellent food. Nobody in our groups have ever had a negative experience. Servers are always friendly and attentive. Hands down best fried chicken sandwich in town. My wife loves the beer Mac n cheese. I don't care for the open dining room and close tables, but you have to make the area you have work. It's got amazing food. That's what matters. ”
“ We had the wings tonight and tried one of the sandwiches. Both meals were outstanding. You can tell the dressing for the side salad was homemade. It was DELICIOUS! I also highly recommend the Garlic-Parmesan wings, and the mango moscow mule. The services was excellent, and the food was absolutely fantastic. Thank you for a great experience. ”
