Booked for a party of 20. Had two servers, Tori and Kelli, who were exceptional, very attentive, professional and nice. Brought in a cake, they took over delivering it on time, adding candles, cutting it and serving it(without being asked)! THAT was such a help and big relief to me. Because of their service, the next time I am in... More

Went for an anniversary dinner. Started with filet tips egg rolls a- delicious and not a normal appetizer. Much of the fish and steak had choice of ways to cook, healthy salmon was perfect, also a different choice of sides. Ended with brownie parfait- chocolate mousse, brownies, chocolate sauce. Entire dinner was different but so nice to have something other... More

We had a dinner meeting here. A bit noisy and average food. The atmosphere was nice and location is great.

We decided to venture out on a Sunday to Grillsmith for lunch in Lakeland. Though their hostess stand "gatekeeper" was gruff for a Sunday morning and a personal challenge to attempt booking a reservation "post-church", we were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately this day upon walk-up. In addition, we were excited to learn of their Sunday Brunch offerings. A... More

I travel a bit for work and have been going to GrillSmith 3-4 times a year for the past few years whenver I'm in Lakeland on business. Coming from Colorado as I do, I love the abundance of seafood at GrillSmith and always start my meal with the Ahi Tuna appetizer. It's delicious and comes with an unexpected bit of... More

We had lunch at GrillSmith and enjoyed it a great deal. My husband and I each had the Feta Chicken and it was delicious. It was tender & moist, grilled to perfection, covered in a lemon wine reduction sauce with feta, artichokes, sundried tomato, and basil. They have a variety of sides. I had the smashed cauliflower and it was... More

Stayed at the Hampton Inn, GrillSmith was recommended by the staff. Even better than advertised. Excellent service from both wait and bar staff, manager was very attentive as well. The food was amazingly fresh, very tasty, with great range of selections on the menu. Not your usual chain restaurant. Draws a big lunch crowd. Great happy hours as well with... More

Actually I havn't had an app there I didn't like. Good bartenders that know how to make a good drink. Nice atmosphere for after work... More

As we worked our way through Florida on the way to our ultimate destination, Marco Island, we spent the night in Lakeland. Within walking distance of our motel was Grillsmith's restaurant. The food was very good. We enjoyed the calamari with a Thai sauce and an excellent dish of large bib lettuce leaves that we could fill with grilled chicken... More

Took the family here to celebrate our daughters first child. Food was good and you certainly get plenty to eat. The service was slow which I would say that was the only downside.
