REVIEWS OF The Grizzly Grill IN Kingston

Mr. O

stopped by for lunch, good food!

Danita Sadaka

Incredible local food, excellent service

Andyman4hire

Always a great place for a few games of pool and dinner. Kitchen delivered a half rack of ribs when we ordered a full rack. Bar tender gave us a free beer for the miss. Nice better than a 10% discount on the food which has been my experience at other pool halls in ktown.

Mike Hector

Very nice and I would say romantic for evening dinners, lights were a bit too dim at one point made it a tad hard to see but always great food!!:) I recommend!!!

Jason G

We ordered takeout for our anniversary. It was absolutely wonderful ❤️ prime rib, garlic mash, sautee veg Yum! Please everyone order here during Covid.

Alex Pinard

Good food, pricey

Emanuele Dovigo

The WORST take out experience EVER. We ordered dinner for 4 people. The bill came to $140.00. We chose a pasta and 3 of "The Rooster". The sandwich had undercooked cheap bacon and no sauce. Extremely dry and poor presentation. The meals were all suppose to come with sides and they did not give us any them, but they charged us full price. Not to mention there was a black hair in one of the sandwiches. Customer service was horrible and rude when we called to ask about the missing food. We will NOT be going back. As I suggest you don't either.

Daniel Vinette

Overlooked spot to eat while I was a Queen's student. I graduated around 10 years ago and only ate at the Grizzly Grill once, which was a fluke. The prices are more expensive compared to other restaurants on Princess, but for good reason. The food is Amazing. The staff will take care of you (that was Sara for us, the one who just started a few nights ago, the one from Alberta, I think -- please keep her on the earlier dining shift, always. I predict she'll get more glowing reviews and up your restaurants reputation online/overall if you keep her on the earlier shift ). My partner and I came up to visit Kingston just for the day to reminisce our separate times at Queen's. We stumbled into deciding to eat here after Grecco's wait too long, and discovering that Mino's wasn't offering dine-in options expert for Friday and Saturday (we came to visit on a Thursday). Anyway, I'm so happy Grizzly Grill had no wait and seated us right away. The craving platter for 1 was way more food than two people could eat and finish. It was mouth watering delicious and a great way to sample many of the items on their menu. The only thing I didn't like (there was two): 1) The prime rib portion was serves as shavings. It just tastes like tasty stir-fried beef (no offense). Perhaps changing the description to "Prime Beef shavings" would be a more accurate description. 2) The spice that was on everything, ended up being on the fries, chicken wings and dry-rub ribs was unexpectedly spicy, it has heat that I didn't enjoy since I was not expecting it. I suspect that it was from the dry-rub that made things gently, but surely fiery, that I did not like. Much too much dry rub and it was way too salty for my liking. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS AMAZING. THE PEI MUSSELS. THE PRIME RIB I HAD 10 YEARS AGO, I still have just a good memory of eating it. Students, this is where you want to take your parents instead/as an alternative to Chez Piggy's. You won't regret it (:

Bradley Parris

This is a nice restaurant close to the student neighbourhood in Kingston. Th Grizzly carvings are very cool and it is nice and airy. The food was very good. I especially recommend the chicken avocado club. It's not the cheapest but I believe you get value for money.

Craig Johnston

We went for a party on New Year's Eve. Was extremely mediocre and was relatively dirty and stinky. Staff didn't seem overly pleased to be there. Cannot comment on the food.

Alex Melvin

Great place in town for pool and beers. Cheers. P.S., (Management) few cues needs the tips to be maintained on a regular basis.

Cheyenne Wood

Great pizza, the ribs were only soso.

Kai Chen

Great vibes and music but really small dance floor.

Steph Brown

Great atmosphere with friendly staff and delicious food

Céline C.

Still great!

chantel mcfarland

Fantastic food! Steak and Prime Rib cooked to perfection.

K K

Our server was fantastic he allowed my wife to try a couple different drinks and when nothing seemed to her liking he was fine with it

Alex Page

Went there recently for lunch with a friend on a visit to Kingston. The place was not busy at all. We started with the spinach dip, which I found delicious. I had the chicken bacon club, while my friend had the beet salad with garlic shrimp. We had a couple of the craft beers and then one of their sangrias. All were delicious, and our waiter, Anthony, was delightful and very helpful in navigating the menu.

Riley K

Was good food. Some bones in the pickerel but great combination. Like the place inside, very nice wood and atmosphere

KingUponMain

Really great food and drinks.

Tyler Cowie

Great place for drinks. Good burgers and wood fired pizza too!

Grace Camara

If your looking for a romantic dinner date with you and your other half come here

Miguel Andrés Cañón Plazas

Too quality food, also got a lot of gluten free options

Vince Tripp

Good food and nice location. prefer early evening before it gets crazy busy. Always found serving staff good.

Matthew McFarland

We've been going to the Grizzly Grill for more years than I care to admit and we are never disappointed. The food and service has always been excellent. It's my go to place for prime rib and it has to be the the 16oz Grizzly Cut!!!

Keanu Pejman

Great place for both casual drinks and food. Good dance hall at night

Thom Suprano

Great place for a get-together. Staff was excellent. Prime rib was huge and perfectly cooked. Well done.

Victoria Dyson

Loved the food! Such great service and prices.

Dan Paterson

Great meal

Nicholas Cotton

One of my favorite places. ????

Jesse Campbell

I had the smoked salmon sandwich with the house salad. Both were delicious and were full of flavour. Definitely would recommend this place.

Annmarie Cardoso

Great Eats

Claudia Labrosse

(Translated) Great food Pleasant service forms a unity with food of the highest quality. Here we have eaten best on our tour of Eastern Canada. Absolute recommendation! (Original) Super gute Küche Angenehmer Service bildet hier eine Einheit mit Speisen in höchster Qualität. Hier haben wir auf unserer Tour durch Ostkanada am besten gegessen. Absolute Empfehlung!

Dalila Villalobos

Absolutely amazing. Great service, great food. The roasted cauliflower is pretty awful, but overall great experience.

Kelsey Hixson

Nice atmosphere. Good drinks and food. Haven’t had a bad meal yet! The service was a little slow on a Friday night (totally understandable tho). Food was still hot when we got it and service was fairly consistent. Will be back again.

Brock Sheen

Great service. Delicious food. Cooked to order. Nice atmosphere. Would repeat.

Cody Holmes

Excellent Food and staff. Quiet environment.

John Tracy

Good place for drinks and grab a bite. The food menu is limited though. Location is nice, waitresses are very friendly.

Aurora Smith

It's 1 in the morning. You have a large group of people looking for the next place to go. Some people want to dance, others just want to have a beer, and nobody wants to pay cover. You want the Grizzly Grill. Sure, you're taking a risk on the DJ playing his own Eminem/Blink 182 mixes, and you're not getting the coolest new local microbrewed beer, but you only need an ID to get in the door, and chances are everyone will have a great time.

Dennis Heller

Been kicked out half a dozen times by meat head bouncers, ahhh good times.

Raymond Burelle

Sunday brunch is awesome and quite affordable.

Peter Hudson

Great food

Dave Gray

Always a great time with great music

Yuan Yuan Zheng

Great place to play pool

Ramen Booko

Awesome pizza and amazing salmon!! Great, fun staff and atmosphere.

Carly Lucic

I have been eating here for over 20 years. It used to be great. The service we received was really bad. The food wasn't near the quality it's been in years past. The Grizzly burger was good but the chicken club was really just a chicken breast with bacon on toasted bread. It took a long time to get our drink order and over an hour to receive our entrees. We had 8 people eating and 2 of the 8 meals were cold. We received free drinks and a free appetizer (when we were half done our entrees).

Nikki Griffin

Grat atmosphere to sit and have a beer with friends

Rose Nguyen

Emily made the night! The BEST service, and personality!!!! Super friendly highly recommend. When you go order a puppyccino

BiaS Aptitude

Five Stars, this place is amazing, its stunningly beautiful, the staff are very nice, theres lots of room and it feels really open. I went here for a group event, and everyone I met there, and the people dining privately seemed really happy. I really like the giant bear head on the front of the restaurant, I think its SUPER cool!

Francesco Ferrara

I was only in the upstairs portion, but I really enjoyed my time there. The pool tables are well kept and clean, however you did have to fight for a triangle for racking the balls (seemed like only one around for multiple tables). The spinach dip was delicious, and the staff was very friendly. Someone in my party had too much to drink, and the staff handled it great. They were polite and asked him to leave after finishing his game of pool. I agreed he needed to leave and thought the way he was asked was very professional and reasonable. I appreciate that the staff take the responsibility of removing people who have had too much to drink.

Renardo Thompson (Ren)

Expensive but delicious food. One of the most underrated places for food in Kingston.

Wendy Franko

Great steak.

Evan Clarke

Nice ambience. Service can get better. Overall nice place, good music. Like it.

Phil Williams

This is a good place to visit. Great place to chill, food is good, price is decent, area is spacious, free street parking in the evening. Customer service is amazing. You can also held your party here.

Mackenzie Smith

The service was great. My husband had the 16 oz prime rib and said it was really good. My son had the chicken parm and said it was good. My oldest daughter had the bison burger and said it was okay. My younger daughter and I had the Grizzly burger and they were dry. Not juicy at all but it was flavourful. My daughter got gravy and it was flavorless & pale. We would give it another go and order something different if we are back in the Kingston area.

Heather Martyniuk

We have dined with you twice during visits from Toronto and both times have really enjoyed our meals. Great prime rib and cuts of steak. Friendly staff and a comfortable atmosphere for those of us wanting a decent steak dinner while travelling with kids. Thank you!

Richard EC

Great spot. Pool upstairs, good music, great service but pricey

Phil Furlong

Expensive for whats offered, good overall though

Glenn DuQuesnay

For first time ever going in the Grizz ""wife loves it ""lmao and I was born here in Kingston 45 years ago I had a good time with my sweetheart on are 5th year anniversary.....love ya s.A.w.N eNeAt EhLLaIrOtTT

Rip _Killer_777

Felt very rushed

David Timan

There are SOO many good restaurants in Kingston that there is no reason to go to the Grizzly Grill. Yes it ha the name and the history, but the food and service is crap and overpriced for what you pay. Likewise to the comment below, if you want a good steak, the Keg in Kingston is beautiful

Alex

I had the prime rib. Excellent value. Cooked perfectly.

omar ossama

Slow, overpriced, and not very good. Really gone downhill

Brianna Rutherford

Had a great meal with great company!

Rich

I gave 5 stars because of their Sunday brunch. It is a buffet and has a huge variety of delicious foods. Fresh fruit, eggs Benedict and prime rib to name a few.

Elizabeth LeBlanc

Great tenderloin and delicious gluten free crust pizza. Recommended for all celiac.

andrew wilson

The "Grizz" is a unique Kingston venue. Part restaurant, part night club, part snooker bar this place has something for everyone. The food is good, but not excellent. They do work hard to use local ingredients and farming partners and the chefs are always experimenting. But it depends on who is cooking which determines how great the food will be that night. As a night club, the Grizzly Grill typically attracts an older crowd, which makes it unique given its proximity to the university hub of bars and clubs.

Tracy Shepard

Best prime rib I recall. The mashed potatoes were very good too. Service was excellent as well. Never had steak there before. To be honest I usually prefer to go to the USA for steak but this was better.

Superman Bassfisher

Amazing food

Etienne Portelance

Awesome place to eat and service very good. Especially like their lunches.

Juan-Carlos Aldao

(Translated) Warm place and quality food! I have enjoyed each and every time I have been there. (Original) Endroit chaleureux et une bouffe de qualitée! J'ai apprécié chacun des fois que j'y suis allée.

Oliver Mayer

(Translated) We ordered mussels and had a strong cooking method. My husband praised the beef and said it was delicious (although the taste was a bit heavy), and my fish was delicious! (Original) 我們點了淡菜,很濃郁的煮法,我家老公對牛肉讚不絕口說很好吃(雖然味道有點重),我的魚也好吃!

ken Lawson

Good food, great atmosphere

Alija Bos

Nice environment, great selection of drinks

Tracey Mihalus

"Meh" experience. cold-ish food, semi re-heated upon complaining. Actually the only eatery in Kingston that we were unhappy with.

J Gomes

great burger

simon paquette

Good food and a great atmosphere.

samson martin

(Translated) Very large and good atmosphere with pool table (Original) Très grand et bonne ambiance avec table de pool

maziyar madani

Good food and friendly staff. The turkey wings were great. Salads are pretty big. Only problem was it took a while for the food to come out. We were there on a Saturday afternoon for lunch, so they may have been a little short-staffed.

Frank Howard

Food is great

Mikhail Nediak

Overall an elegant place to hang out

Marianne Tilton

The place is nice, but the hourly rate to play pool upstairs was way to high.

Mike Cobb

Vegetarian in our group was served a meat dish, she didn't know that until she had taken a bite of her pasta thinking it was a mushroom, nope, meat. Food was alright overall.

kimcraigj

The food was excellent, as was the service. I recommend it.

Rylee Harper

Amazing pasta, super good cocktails

Daniel Moholia

Great place for a few games of pool. Huge place lots of tables and the staff were top notch.

John Culbert

Great place for university night life for the older crowd

Maurice Doran

A great evening with @Kingstonford and @hallsy09 getting ready for the Taylor Hall Ball Hockey Tournament in support of the @bgckingsonon.

Sushmitha Gadari

along wait because of issues in kitchen. Hamburger wasn't all that great

Joann M.

Food was very very good! but the waitress was literally trying to pick up customers at the table next to us yesterday when we went to eat supper. It couldn't have been more unprofessional, I know waiters and bartenders should act cute and flirty to make tips but I literally felt like i was at a bar next to some chick who was trying to get laid...... It was very bad..

Alexis Maisonneuve

Best place to dance on a weekend for the over 25 crowd! Living up those throwback tunes.

Mark Donovan

Good spot to hang out in Ktown.

Autumn Schmidt

Came here when we I was visiting Kingston once and I've honestly been thinking about it ever since! Great food selection, great beer selection, and service was very nice too. Can't wait to go back again soon.

Shawn Whetsel

Had a great time. Steak was delicious and so was the pasta!

Alyssa Campbell

A long time favorite that we have missed for too long! Dinner with good friends on a summer Saturday evening...great food, good service & comfortable atmosphere to catch up. Good value too. We won't be away so long again. I am already dreaming of my next Steak & Avocado Salad. Yum !

Kevin Lackie

Good food, attentive staff...decor looking dated

Christopher Charlebois

Awesome food awesome service and clean eating environment. Food plated nicely and an enjoyable portion size. Didn't utilize the lavatory ... I usually squirt before i go out.

Dave Mody

Good place to hang out with friends

John Soliman

Great atmosphere and lots of local food

Jessica Parent

We waited one hour and 20 minutes and no food had yet to arrive. We were a party of five with reservations. We chose to leave very upset. The only bright star I could give was for our server, Laura who was clearly upset but was at a loss to do more. No managerial staff approached our table but Laura responded in a professional manner and chose to waive the cost of our drinks as we cooled our heels waiting for food that never came. Never have I had this experience in a Kingston restaurant.

Carlos Flores Jaco

Great place! I love bread with maple butter there, also everything you order there is very delicious starting from steak to the pastas and pizzas. Also party platter with spinach deep is pretty nice. It was my first time trying there beet fries...delicious and healthy!

Steve Syrett

Nice atmosphere...pricey and the night we went the meal didn't live up to the menu description

Kat Tremblay

Their mocha take on an espresso Martini is too good. Exactly what we needed. Service was great as well.

Nilesh Daya

Decent food, great drinks and late night atmosphere. Pool tables upstairs

Riley Lelievre

A great place to hangout. The second floor has pool tables. Not really fan of the selection of beers.

Christopher Austin

Food and service is fantastic, great price for portions

Nathan

Had a work christmas party there. Food was good just took a long time.

Ali Ryder

Overall mediocre. Customer service is "meh" Food is "meh!" Decent value for tams, though ????

Diane Giberson

Atmosphere was great, food was over cooked , and took forever , staff were pleasant but I was surprised at how may time the server apologized for leangth of time it took for the food yet nothing offered off the bill or even a desert... if the atmosphere wasnt as good as it was I'm not sure I'd even give it a 3 star for this experience

Mike Fraser

Great Food. Friendly staff.

Francis B

Scary bear

Narayan Ramachandran

Good food and drinks

Colin O'Rourke

A perfect spot for a drink and a game of pool. First night really doing a bar crawl and the bartender was kind, sweet and very helpful.

James Smith (Smithientist)

Wonderful meal and service. Hats off to everyone!

Thomas Surmanski

Atmosphere and food

Arthur Reed

Great food, great service and pretty waitress...

Eileen Watson

Great place to have a pint and relax, good music, good vibe

Joe A

Good food but very salty

Kal Radikov

Delicious

Jasin Thirteen

The whole place is a club atmosphere. Takes forever to get a drink and music is too loud to hear anyone. But if that's what you're looking for it's a great place.

Sebastian Howe

You want a dry burnt overcooked burger. ...then you have found the place. Otherwise. ...the place looks great

Renee D'Souza

Nothing wrong with this place. Sunday carvery board is delightful and low cal?!(nope) taste amazing tho.

Paul Richter

Overpriced

Sharona Ramakaev-Owers

Delicious food, friendly service.

Marcus Ho

The Sunday buffet is wicked. Soo good.

Patrick Lei

Good service during lunch. Simple menu

Patrick

Amazing food, service and atmosphere! Striploin was perfect!

Jennie Marshall

Food was really good and well done very serviceable people

Ian Dick

Fun place to hang out! Took a little while to get drinks and a pool table but when you are with incredible people time doesn't mean anything

F NP

Not too impressed at all

Andrew Wilkins

My visit began with the washroom . Down filthy stairs to a grungy bathroom. There were cobwebs and flies all over. The toilet door didn't lock. When the server brought wine, my glass still had lipstick on it from a previous patron. She replaced it but threw out the ounce of wine she had poured! I ordered chicken, mushroom Alfredo, with almost no sauce. The meal was acceptable but not great!

Şirin Pınar Doğruer

The food is so delicious! Drinks are great, all is a little pricey but treat yourself, you deserve it!

thoughtful barber

Unbelievable food. My partner and I went for a date night, the poutine as a starter was amazing, my duck pizza was the best pizza I've ever had, my boyfriend said the ribs were the best he's ever had, and dessert was just incredible! Cute atmosphere, and excellent service!

Dave Coleman

The food here is amazing. From the starters to the mains I have never been disappointed. It is pricy so be prepared. The old heavy timber and wood everything is impressive. It is probably one of the nicest restaurants in Kingston.

Victoria Sin

To Whom It May Concern, I visited your restaurant on September 04, 2021 to Celebrate my son's 19th Birthday and I must say I was extremely disappointed in the food and atmosphere. The food was what seemed to be bar/pub style food, the spinach dip was stale nachos with a small portion of spinach cheese dip, the Ribs / Chicken was overcooked and dry with a serving of mystery meat and Kraft dinner, certainly not worth $80. To further add, both of us felt nauseated that evening, attributing it to the food we had eaten at The Grizzly Grill. I have been to this restaurant many years ago and with this recent visit I could not believe how the service and menu / quality of food had substantially declined. Between the appetizer and meal I spent $83.94, with nothing for dessert or from the bar, too much for what we could have eaten elsewhere and appreciated much more. I do hope that someone will contact me as I think this was a disappointing evening all around and should be taken seriously. Tammy

Kamal Tanwar

Late night party bar and they serve dinner as well. It's pretty good. They also have pool tables upstairs for the pool sharks.

Jordan Prentice

Fun

Julie C

Eexcellent food excellent service from Taylor she was amazing my wife and I we were happy tonight. Thanks

Joseph Hamilton

Nice ambience, food was ok but not great.

Darryl Spencer

Amazing family meal in downtown Kingston. The food and service helped me forget the lack of readily available parking and traffic congestion on a Friday night out. I had the ribeye the steak was perfect and the sides were also really good. The Kids meals were surprisingly affordable (not much more than a happy meal) making this a great family restaurant.

Jacob De Gryp

Slow service, food came out very late and was no longer hot. Average meal.

Karen Dundass (SunnyRed)

Upon arriving we had asked for a booth and the hostess said she could put us in the den. Knowing nothing different we agreed, but after seeing how dressed up we were I would assume she would know we wouldnt wsnt to sit in the bar area with pool tables and casual wear. The food wasnt horrible and our server was very nice, but my boyfriend ordered a medium-well piece of prime rib and when we received our meals it was still very much pink in the middle. When they returned his plate we felt that it was a completely different plate because he was missing the coleslaw he had ordered and had to different kinds of potatoes on his plate. My rib-eye steak was very fatty for the price I paid for my meal and my Brussels sprout skillet was cold and made differently from what was explained in the menu.

Michael Almeida

Nice environment, great wine!

Mary-Patricia MacKinnon

Fancy

Leslie Morey

I'd give them 0 if I could, server was unbelievably rude.

John Tetora

Myself and a party of five had a reservation for tonight and the manager Jamaal went out of his way to ensure that we had the most amazing night possible. I can’t thank him enough for his incredible service. The Grizzly is lucky to have chosen such an incredible manager. The food (spin dip and poutine) was SO GOOD! Best spin dip I’ve had in Kingston, hands down, and the poutine was amazing as well. I’ve never had a manger go so out of their way to ensure an amazing time, but tonight we got it. Tai, our server was also incredible! Both Jamaal and Tai have provided the best service we could have asked for. We will for sure be back!

Holt Allen

Liked the food, but the place can get loud fast

Adam Stec

Great restaurant and awesome food. They did an amazing job with our group. We had 15 hungry soccer players and their parents. They fit us all in and got us all fed. Would go back again then next time we are in Kingston.

Nicholas R

The pizza was delicious and the waitress/waiters were excellent

Doug Belanger

Not as good as I was expecting. The ribs were overcooked (burned). Excellent service. Too much air conditioning (I had to wear my jacket).

Patrick Brant

By the time my white friend got a drink, my POC friend had never been served! After my POC friend has been waiting for half an hour, my white male friend went up to ask for a drink where they wanted to serve him but as soon as he said it was for a minority they said no! Very racist. Quite disappointed.

Honey Kaur

A great place to hangout with friends and catch up, good food, good drinks, good music and great staff! They have an awesome dance floor on the weekends as well!

Alan Steed

The food is quite good and the service is professional and friendly. The prices are very high and our meals took nearly an hour to arrive - there were only 2 tables of customers in the entire place. Also, the other table had several very loud children and they seated us right beside them... convenient for the servers but not pleasant for us.

Dave Schickler

Great as usual.

Christa Porras

Friendly staff, good service, great food. Recommend any of their steaks and prime rib, the wild B.C. halibut, and any of the desserts.

D Dynomite

Great if you are a grizzly bear, which I am... No pancakes or waffles though, but grizzlies don't eat that stuff

Zac Peddle

Pretty decent

Nicole St. Jean

We hosted our corporate Holiday Lunch here in December. We were a group of close to 30. Brittany was a great help with finalizing the details up to the date. Servers were great and the food was excellent. A great place for a large group!

Sean Silva

Nice atmosphere, great food, awesome staff.

Monserrat Fuentes

Food is excellent & great service! Such a unique restaurant. Thanks for looking after us so well Jamaal ????????!

420gotbounce casting

Pricey and not really worth it

Benaifer Kakalia

Super cute place, the food and service was amazing! Our table had spinach dip, beet fries, grizzly salad, prime rib, bbq chicken pizza, and a steak salad, all were delicious and I would happily order them all over again. They also have a really great selection of local and organic beer.. yummmmyyyyyyyy

Praveen Roy

Two-floor restaurant that emphasizes much of its local content. Fills up rather quickly on weekends, and large groups could be problematic. Food ordered was good and priced accordingly. Warm atmosphere, especially in the middle of winter.

Matt McConnell

Nice place to hangout with friends, good ambiance and food.

Mel K

I wouldn't say Kingston would be perfect if the Griz burned to the ground but it would help.

Justin Smith

Steak dinner ..stay later to dance or chill and play pool upstairs

jess Fenske

We ordered delicious food here, and enjoyed ourselves. The atmosphere left a lot to be desired, as it was loud and cold. Also the coffee was lukewarm and not a very good blend.

Lindsay LaJoie

Lovely

Stephanie Brogan

had the deep friend cheese cake years ago, it's been a while since I've been back but whatever they make, its delicious!

Kimberley Miller

Local favorite. Dine by day, dance by night.

Curtis Robert

Great service and fantastic food. (Ribeye)

RAMETAL

Awful service from the start... Highly recommend anywhere else.

William Hannon

The Prime Rib is hands down the best in Kingston. It's consistent in a number of ways. The cut size, flavour, and cooking preference are always consistent. The sides are largely portioned, and the option for a few different add-ons make the plate customizable. Any Prime Rib lover NEEDS to visit the Grill for a taste!

Amanda Scobie

Came here for lunch, and got the pork belly sandwich, and soup of the day. The soup was quite good, but the portion seemed quite small, as the bowl was only about half filled. The sandwich itself felt like it was lacking something to justify the price. The service was very slow to start, took quite a while to have someone come and take our order, and it wasn't busy, but it was between the lunch & dinner shift, so maybe that was the reason. Once we had our orders taken, the service was about average. Maybe their dinner menu would have been better, but we also weren't informed only the lunch menu was available at 4pm, we overheard them telling some other customers, because we had come to a steak house to get a steak, and only saw a steak sandwich on the menu. Overall, I wasn't overly impressed and probably wouldn't return. The food was okay, but for the price you could get better elsewhere.

Jason Noonan

Great place to take someone in your family or friend circle that also likes the keg , moxies, and BP. Not my ideal dinner spot, but good for a drink and some pool. Not serious pool. The tables are not the most level. A good time can be had here, usually a social group of people patrons and staff. If you use the term “eye candy” (I’m sure you don’t, who does that.!) this place is for you

Tanya Galjot

Great atmosphere

Thomas Kulin

The place has authentic feel and the food is good.

Brandon Marsh

Sunday brunch can't be beat

Vern Phillips

Great food. Good service!

Angel F

Great atmosphere, friendly and quick service. Would recommend for a good night out!

Graham Tattersall

Was here for a private party. The management was fabulous in getting all the food out on time. Pricing is high for both drinks and food. I was surprised but then we don't go downtown Kingston often on Saturday nights.

Scott Hopkins

Amazing place to play pool, get drinks and socialize.

Stacey Gillis

Good quality food, and quite a lot of area for seating. Went several times for burgers and pub food, but the other dishes looked good as well.

Phil Knudson

The food and service were great.

Rob McLellan

Food was good and service was awesome.

Romanna Turchyn

The food and service that night was impeccable. Our server was very patient and understanding when it came to our orders and our meal was very much worth the price! I ordered the full rack of grilled baby back ribs which came with a side of fries and coleslaw. My boyfriend ordered the enright ribeye which came with fries, horseradish aioli, and a skillet of brussels sprouts. While we waited for our dishes to arrive, they gave us a plate of bread with butter. They offered regular butter as well as a sweet butter seasoned with black pepper and other spices. It tasted amazing... I never knew butter could taste so good. We were quite impressed with the portions when the dishes arrived. My ribs were sweet and sticky. It was also really juicy and tender. The steak was cooked beautifully and was quite tender as well. The fatty streaks gave the steak a melt-in-your-mouth experience.

Jason Silver

Good looking girls... And a dance floor. What more could you wish for.

Donnie Noonan

Best prime rib in town. Been here several times and haven't had a bad meal yet.

Luciano Pollastri

Great food, great prices and excellent service. Everyone was more than willing to help, great attitude and just an overall great atmosphere. We had a waiter named Orin (hope I spelled that right) who made the experience even better. I absolutely recommend this restaurant.

Dustin Russell

Had a great ribeye steak, the brussel sprouts are amazing! Great local beers and a nice ambiance!

chris trousdale

Great food but bring lots of money . $$$$$

Kristine Fielding

Phenominal food. Great atmosphere. Amazing staff. Dinner, dancing and pool.

Great spot! Jamaal, the manager, went out of his way to make sure we had the best experience possible. Amazing service!

Cal Caldwell

Good food and nice ambiance.

Tom MacDonald

We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary here and had the most brilliant meal. The prime rib is freaking amazing!

Brandon Gauthier

One of the better steaks ive tried! great restaurant with a good ambiance.. would recommend for sure

Scott Howells

I was there for my birthday. It was s wonderful place. Decor was nice, weight staff was friendly and food great!!

William Batoff

Went there on a friend's birthday. We were seated at a very unpleasantly located table. Near a waiter's station and a dance floor (or at least it seemed that way) , it was a huge round table and it was very loud and frankly quite hard to talk with the other people at the table. And after being sited, we waited for 20 minutes for the waitress to come and take our order and give us some water. We didnt like it so much to be honest. My wife ordered the main house dish as it seemed on the menu and got a Slightly warm prime rib slice with undercooked carrots and some potatoes. Which wasn't interesting or good in our opinion. The ribs on the other hand were very good and i recommend them very much.

Tyler Locke

I've been to the Grizz many times, though not frequently. This time I was unimpressed. There is a new menu, on which few options looked exciting. More importantly though, two people in my group ordered steak and we weren't asked how well cooked we wanted it, and we both had to send it back.

Alley STJ

I love the grizz

Robert Cox

Over rated. Was once great, now price does not match food quality

Garry Allen

A family favourite for sure.

Tasha Ignatius

Delicious prime rib toast. Cooked to perfection ????

Ahmad Addurobi

Awesome food. Great staff

Heather Hover

This was a recommendation from a friend. Our visit didn't go without hickups tho, but honestly the staff were great at making things right and the manager was on the ball to keep the satisfaction level up. Essentially bread served initially was rock solid, but was replaced when the staff noticed. There was never and cutlery provided during the course of the meal, but we made due as I had ribs and my family member had a burger. Table wasn't wiped down when we were seated outside, but was ok cause the table next to us had a wet cloth, only took a couple seconds to do ourselves and was a great wet nap at the end of the meal for my sauced covered fingers. The manager had to come out and apologise a few times one of the times was cause they had run out of a soup we had ordered. Not a big deal as the other soup on the menu was really good. As a courtesy for the above the manager also comped a dessert which we shared (yum cheesecake) and the waiter made sure to keep our glasses full of beer and water. So ultimately was a good meal considering the little service bumps.

Connor Garysson

Great place to dance. 2 floors. Coat check. Pool tables (3-4)? Washrooms upstairs and down. Food menu items. Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner. Drinks $$-$$$.

Lillian King

Would prefer ice water and a little pricey for what you got. But Staff are alot of fun.

Matthew Paterson

Amazing local food, and great atmosphere! Excellent for dining, or going for drinks and playing pool. Very versatile space.

Jamie W.

Great atmosphere. Great food. Great service. Had the Sunday prime rib 12 oz special. Meat was tender but a little past the requested medium-rare. Loved the maple pepper butter. I want to go back for the Turkey wings.

Sylvain Houde

Good night place

Glenn Ethier

Loved our meals for sure and the drinks were good too.

Jessey Rice

Free pool and cheap fries / drinks on Monday nights are an offer that's tough to turn down. Add to that a bunch of grizzly bear statues and you've got yourself a great place.

Julie Thorn

staff is helpful and friendly. food is amazing. the best prime rib i have ever had. highly reccomended. a bit expensive but worth every penny

tip top

Rude service and overpriced drinks. There was hardly anyone in the restaurant, yet the service was very slow. Additionally, after not receiving the tip she wanted, the waitress claimed that she had to pay for lack of tips out of her own pocket. Seems to be mismanaged, would not recommend to anyone looking for night time drinks

Nicholas Shanley

The food is good the dance is horrible , they need a new dj

Marvin Ferrer

The place is nice and love the food, however the DJ they have is horrible. Pool tables upstairs which is a nice break from the dancing.

Lise Wing

Food was great

paul snyder

Only went there for drinks but service was great, ambiance is nice and the barmaid was good. Although one of the barmaid lacked a bit of experience.

Vahe Vardanyan

Went there for pool and drinks on a Saturday night, turned into a nice little club, only downside was the longer wait times for drinks but that's alright!

Youness Aliyari

Interesting brunch menu

Tyler Running

Projectile vomited after I got home

timmy adam

Great place for a meal, drink and reconnecting with old friends.

Gillian Liu

Good pool and drinks this is a pick up bar

Jason Mercier

I liked this place. The food was really delicious but salad had a lots of balsamic. The waitress was really nice and kind.

Riley Mayhew

Although on the pricy side of things, this place is clean, welcoming and best of all the food is world-class!!

Anna Kim

Very cozy place and the food is quite tasty

Evan Kirkby

Great food and vibe. Great place to hang out or party, depending on your mood.

JP G

Easter Buffet was average. The food is normally very good. Average bar scene bar at night.

Rory McLeod

Very nice ambience, and service. Thank you! Excellent pool tables too.

Michael Brown

A bit pricey but a nice place to have drinks and play pool.

Hayden Tomlinson

Awesome maple butter

Helen S

Had an Awesome experience last night, our server Oren, was excellent. He suggested a large platter for our group of four, which arrived and could have fed six, everything was delicious and cooked beautifully. Never give up! Never surrender...except this time we had too as the platter defeated us. Oren was excellent in every area. Truly made the experience a 5 star experience.

Wayne Ridley

Food was great service was to

Ryan Demelo

A Kingston mainstay and must-see. Better in the summer when the University crowd is away.

Romy Olsha

AMAZING FOOD! kicking myself that I didn't get any pictures. Atmosphere is lovely...seating upstairs has a lovely view. We had pork belly for an appetizer and it literally melted on your mouth. The beef tenderloin was cooked to perfection...defindelty would go again.

Jim Kane

Save your money. ..go to the Keg.

Kesha Wagner

Good place to share with friends, good dancefloor, excelent prices.

Véronique Bégin

(Translated) Nice place. Food was good but too expensive for what you get. Service was great. With a menu the dessert was forgotten, which was then handed over immediately (and was delicious). As compensation, the drinks went on the house. (Original) Nettes Lokal. Essen war gut aber zu teuer für das was man bekommt. Service war super. Bei einem Menü wurde der Nachtisch vergessen, der dann aber sofort nachgereicht wurde (und sehr lecker war). Als Entschädigung gingen die Getränke aufs Haus.

Vanessa Atampore

Love the Sunday car very board.. Great value and super tasty!

D B

Slow service, pasta tasted like it was cooked yesterday.

Vanessa Boyer

Good place and little dark

Karen Cameron

The food was amazing, the drinks were great, and loved that mostly covered patio so that we were able to sit outside even during a heat wave! Will definitely be going back.

Willow Prue

Had a rude employee who wasn't working push me aside at the bar rudely and tell me he works their. I told him i am a customer and he stated he was the same. Paid my bill the same as anyone else. What makes employees any better than patrons?

Walentin Staschejko

Chill atmosphere and free pool on Monday

Elizabeth Kirkman

Sat for 20 minutes, No service, Waiter passed by several times to serve new people before us. Don’t recommend

Dillon L

*Great food and ambiance* Pros: Staff was friendly. Food was great - steak cooked to temp. Love the open kitchen atmosphere Was able to get seating quickly. Right downtown Cons: None?

Kyle Y

The food here is really good and I'm pretty sure its mostly local. prices were little steep but totally depends on what your getting and its definetly worth the $

Doug Dragasevich

Good drinks...but pretty pricey..also pretty good atmosphere

Avery Fowler

Have enjoyed a few meals (date nights) and food has always been good. Most experiences here have been on nights out. Generally a younger crowd, good music (small dance floor) 6 or 7 pool tables to enjoy.

andrew kirkland

Always fantastic. Management and staff are top notch.

Tayte Hewson

Came here for a team dinner, we had set menu's with two options to choose from for our entree and a salad. The staff was very nice and accommodating to girls tweaking little things in the menu. Everyone really enjoyed there meals, being either a vegetarian pasta, or alfredo or meatballs. They also served fresh bread which was amazing. Would definitely recommend, portion sizing was great.

Brendan Montgomery

We were there recently for a late breakfast/early lunch. We were the only table, about 10 of us. Service was slow (seemingly more due to the kitchen than the waitstaff). One persons meal needed three separate corrections to get it right (and this is a breakfast plate - eggs, bacon, toast). Toast was burnt, no butter on the toast nor at the table. This place isn't new, it should be able to do better than this.

Madison E Bird

Horrible service, extremely long wait times then servers wouldn't even wait a second to ask if you needed anything, just dropped off your drink and away they went.

Brandi Dunst

Good atmosphere. Clean. Entertaining while my buddy's wife caught him looking at the waitress in her very low cut shirt.

Precious Plastic Canada

We loved this place. I had the pasta with chorizo, she had the beet salad with pork bellies for an app. MMMMM the pork bellies were worth every penny. Would go there again if I ever make it back to Kingston. IT was quiet, long weekend I was told. But quiet was a good thing. Just what we wanted.

joeydamisfit Official

So much potential, this place looks awesome and has a good atmosphere. However, we had a long wait for our food and there were only 8 people in the restaurant at that time. Also the wait staff was not very attentive

Kristy Hamilton

Meal type

samantha Stinger

Super good food. Very helpful staff. Got a party of 10 seated with no reservation on a weekend. Very happy and will be back for sure.

Chris Empey

Good cozy date night spot. We had the BBQ meats platter for two, I would reccomend to any carnivore like me.

Sheri Dougherty

Absolutely delicious food, amazing and quick service. Ambiance is very relaxing and elegant without losing the welcoming feeling. The sunday special prime rib was a great value, and incredible. The pasta dish (canadian) was wonderful and demonstrated the attention to detail across the menu. If I could give a higher rating I would. Absolutely impressed.

Chad Koehn

The food was unremarkable. Wait staff was okay, and the prices are ridiculous considering how unremarkable the food is. As for atmosphere, during the day is kind of okay--empty. This is more of a night spot for drinks and bar games, definitely not a place to have a nice meal with friends and family because the menu is a tad underdeveloped with options that beg the question: "Why?" A hot dog street vendor in front of this place would be a huge improvement! Hopefully they read this and get one of those carts so they can actually serve some delicious food.

Curtis Maclachlan

Great food and great service! Would definitely go back again. Little on the pricey side but the food is definitely worth it!

Julien Beaulieu

Fantastic food, probably some of the beast steak I've ever had. The servers were great and pretty quick, the wait was short despite it being Friday night. My only complaint was the music was so loud we couldn't hear eachother talk sometimes, but it's to be expected from such a popular party place for students. It only started getting loud around 11-12 though. Other than blaring starboy at 100 decibels I'm 100% glad this was our restaurant we ate at in our kingston stop on the way to Toronto and I would definitely recommend it to others.

Meghan Mcgowan

Emily is the best waitress, best customer service representative. Please give her a day off, or a raise

Steve V

Drinks were good, food was ok. Would visit again as the patio is great.

J DP

Very bad quality. Had food poisoning the next day.

Lynn Barkley (Mimibleueyes)

Good food. Disappointed there was no WiFi available. Especially when traveling out of town.

tommy waldorf

Great service. I enjoyed a nice steak cooked "just right".

Yubo Qiu

When there on a friday night, it has a good vibe with a lot of poeple.

Shawna Feldman

Been here a few times back in the day and always loved it. Came back here after getting fitted for suits for my buddies wedding. Crushed a bunch of drinks and of course left 5 pairs of brand new dress socks in a bag upstairs by the pool tables. Had an awesome server named Patrick. Went back in the next morning and Patrick remembered me...had the bag in the office. Thanks so much guys. Great service. Great place.

Michel Delhaes

Love it

Dillon Murray

Good food and service for dinner

Link Mcrae

Nice burgers and very friendly staff. Loved the artichoke dip

Tammy Mcconnell

Went in for a birthday dinner. Server was very friendly and assisted quickly. Everyone's meal was well enjoyed. Drinks were worth the price. Table decided they would return.

Yun Han Jenny Yang

I had the Maple Glazed Atlantic Salmon and it was delicious! Only $24 too!

Julianne McAleese

The NEW All you can eat Brunch is DEE-LISH!! Cinnamon buns, Prime Rib...and all the classics (eggs, bacon, sausages, waffles and more!) For only $15. YUM-O!

Food is good.. A bit hectic but great Canadian comfort food.

Phil Casey

Used to party here when I was younger.

Amanda Leakey

Great food and atmosphere.

Dan Long

I don't remember much except that I had a good time and got overcharged for pool

Matthew Klazer

Awsome staff

Daniel White

They changed my reservation for my 40th birthday party. Put me beside the front door in a blizzard, then reboxed my birthday cake in a "meat box" I'm a vegetarian

France Waychison

Great dinner, great service!

Mike Sanford

Newmarket Huskies Track Club after race dinner. Staff was very friendly and the food was excellent. It was a pleasure to see how well a large party was handled.

Don Last Name

This was an excellent place for a special meal. Service was prompt and pleasant, and the server made sure that our needs were met. Top notch!

Dani LeSurf

We went for dinner tonight at the griz. Usually it has been pretty good but tonight was atrocious. We had ordered a salad for one of our members and a charcuterie platter for the other three. Our platter arrived relatively promptly, but the salad was about 10 minutes later, having been asked for 2 times from 2 separate servers. We had ordered a bottle of wine and a soda for our driver. The sever never once asked if we needed another drink, and the wine was gone well before our main course. ( the Soda drinker had to ask more than once for a refill, there was no one checking on drink levels). When our mains came, after a complaint from one of our table mates, it had been more than an hour since our apps had been served. It was explained at that time it was due to a large party having their order in before us. This would have been nice to know as it would have made the wait more tolerable. We had 4 meals. The pizza was hot and ready to go. The bison burger was overdone, having been requested to be medium rare and arrived dry well done. The 2 prime rib dinners. Medium rare: cold. Well done: served medium. This all being said, and despite having had good service and food at other times, I doubt I will be returning.

Brenda Corcoran

Good service. Expensive for the quality of the food.

bakhtyar pakdel

Food is overpriced and not so good. Beer is warm.

B Laczko

The food is absolutely amazing! I love how the ingredients are from local producers. The Hosts and Servers are wonderful, attentive and very friendly. Highly recommend either for Family, Celebrations, or Date night.

Devon Smith

Free pool Monday's is great, but the secret is out. When I was there, the bar was so slow for service. It wasn't the bartender's fault, she was working it but the bar stayed full all night.

Orestes Plasencia

We received a gift certificate that we finally used . They have a carvers platter offering on Sunday nights for 2 at $45.00 and for 4 at $90.00. Better bring your appetite for this one. Great food and amazing service by our waiter Oren.Thanks Grizzly Grill for a great night out and great experience. We'll definitely be back! The Lamverts

Tammy P

Enjoyed the meal. Prime Rib was tasty. Perhaps the presentation of such high-end food could be elevated a little? It would also be more fun post-covid, as I felt a bit rushed. Still, the food was worth a visit.

Heidi Bonnell

Reservation at 7:00pm for our large group was made two months in advance. By 10:00pm only half the group had their meals. Absolutely no communication from wait staff who took orders then and disappeared. Afterwards we had to ask the manager for a discount as they thought an apology would be enough. Discount that was given was minimal. Teenagers went outside for a bit while we waited and weren’t allowed back in because apparently the place turns into a bar at 10pm and they weren’t old enough (even though all the parents were inside waiting for our bills which we also had to ask for twice and waited even longer to receive). All of this only to find out that had I gone by myself and ordered off the regular menu my meal would only have cost $17 but since I was with a group that was given a very small “special” menu it cost $25??! Do NOT recommend!!

James Johnston

Good food but really expensive 50$ for 2 shrimp pastas and 2 soft drinks didn't even get any alcohol

Audrey Coltey

Nice place and excelent food. I Wonder know where they buy the andoullie saussage...

Shari Manyika

We had our daughter's grad dinner here and I am very disappointed with the service and food. It was not busy and my husband's prime rib looked like it was the previous days and boiled. He left it on the plate and our server couldn't look at us in our eyes and just asked if he wanted a take out container! We travel a lot and dine out often, I have never seen a server react like that. *we were the 4:30pm seating on the 6th of Jun. My dinner was extremely salty but I chalked it up to the fact I don't use salt and a bad start of the kitchen staff. 20 years we have been going and because of the lack of respect from our server and the kitchen cutting corners, never again.

Marc-andre Lavoie

Erica Richardson

The meat in the Steak and Avocado salad was just amazing and perfectly cooked ! I loved it !

Craig Elliott

Your music is bad and you should feel bad.

Great place to eat. Every thing is Good, great service.

Wayne Blay

Love the atmosphere. Food was great.

Ivona Shaver

Free pool on monday

Max Chau

Fabulous Prime Rib. Get the brussel sprouts instead of seasonal vegetables... They're to die for.

Chris M

Food was good, but the service was very slow for lunch, especially since it was not very busy.

Vicki Craig

Was not impressed with the food at all.

Rachel Wyatt

Bruschetta was fantastic but the chicken was sub par for the price

Chris The Landings

food, atmosphere, service was great. We just thought there was a lack of salt on our ribs and coleslaw but both were done traditional with a modern edge. the smoked duck pizza was also great.

Megan

Great food. Prices match the quality.

Megan Smith

They recently changed the menu for the best! Good food, and great service.

charles gough-methot

Very good service , pleasant atmosphere in well established large restaurant/ bar. Rib special ok but dry and overcooked.

Myname Here

Love this place, very impressed with the food every time. Delicious and creative, plus they support local business. A go-to place for a meal that's sure to satisfy a true foodie. I have tried and would highly recommend the brie calzone, smoked duck pizza, beet salad, and the grizzly caesar.

Andrea Stegne

Tasty food, great service, superb atmosphere-it's a fun and relaxed place to spend a date night out! Our server Alistair took great care of us during dinner where we enjoyed grilled calamari to start. My wife had the ravioli and I enjoyed the chicken & ribs. Both were delicious. The fun part was watching the kitchen cook our meals. After dinner we went upstairs and took a seat at the bar where Brooke greeted us with a friendly smile and attended to us. We didn't realize how big it was upstairs with the pool tables and ended up staying for a couple hours playing pool! A great date night out! Thanks Grizzly Grill!

Sheldon Hart

Amazing food!!

Sandra Riley

Food was anything but mediocre.. ordered the prime rib. Veggies were hard ,potatoes were cold, prime rib was dry.. service was dreadfully slow and we had a reservation.. literally dont even know what our waitress looked like as we never saw her. Wont return for sure

Celine Whalen

This would be a perfect place for your first couple of dates. Nice and dark, and with covid you get lots of space around you. The friendly service was fast, and we recommend the pizzas!

Andrew

My work was hosting a dinner for perfect attendance for perfect attendance of the whole year of 2018. The food was awesome. I had to take my desert home as u was very full. and the waiters we had were awesome, friendly and very helpful, not to mention good looking! The other staff around the restaurant, bar area were friendly and helpful.

Carrie Standing

Ribs were delicious,large portion,very nice place to hang out with friends

Roberta Woodstock

Party of 7 people and we had 5 meals with mistakes. Forgotten appetizers and even a salmon entree was forgotten. Instead of making sure we received the forgotten meal they kept cooking everyone else’s. It was more than 1 hour before we received the salmon after the complaint. Kitchen staff refused to talk to wait staff. Managers seemed use to the mistakes. Picture of the salmon entree. The food is great even though we had a lot of issues.

Petra Mindorff

Great place for private events. The staff were wonderful.

Ray Pengelly

Excellent food and despite their kitchen being one man down, they ran it like a well oiled machine! The staff really care a out their customers and that's refreshing. Try the beet bruschetta!

Mike Moore

Service is always great.

Sam Dyson

Great food and drinks...and service awesome!!

Ontario's Food Guide

Food was great and price was reasonable. Limited beer menu, but lots of specialty drinks.

Gavin Doyle

Food was really good. Atmosphere was fun. Service was quite slow, not sure why? Enjoyed it regardless. Prices are reasonable. Would definitely go back.

Rob MacKenzie-Ede

Sadly our experience changed much from the last time we had a boys trip in Kingston. We booked a reservation for 1930, and our great server Laura let us know that the kitchen was backed up. We put in our orders and waited for roughly two hours before our mains came to us. We remembered Grizzlies fondly as a steak house and it's much changed. The steak options are limited and when they came to our table, the meat was tough and barely warm, the rectangle of garlic butter refusing to melt. The one thing I will say is that our server made sure her manager knew and the provided us with a discount but I hope in the future they definitely change up their meat options and ensure that the meat is cooked properly and that it's still hot when it comes up from the bottom floor.

lisa marchand

Great restaurant, nice atmosphere, great food and service. Would definitely go again.

Kim Pho

Unfortunately, today's lunch with a co-worker was a disappointment. The menu offered burgers and sides only. No pasta or pizza which we have had in the past and enjoyed. My burger was served on a wooden cutting board that was well used with multiple cutting gashes in it that would be a great spot for bacteria and had a large split down the middle. I get the idea of the rustic look but when it looks that dirty and used, a plate would be preferred for sanitary purposes.

Cameron Brown

The Grizzly Grill is a great place. The food is excellent, and so is the service.

Rae Pedersen

I have celiac disease and most of the menu can be made to be safe for me! They have gluten-free options for bunds, pizza crust and pasta. I opted for the Maple Glazed Salmon and it did not disappoint! Our server, Molly, was absolutely delightful and knowledgeable about the need to have a gluten-free meal. She was attentive to all of our needs and my dietary needs, especially! She indicated that although they don’t have a dedicated fryer, the kitchen staff and Chef take every precaution to avoid cross-contamination as much as possible. We were all very pleased with our meals. My friends had the ribs and indicated the BBQ sauce was delish. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back!

lilly abaracs

Nice place very Good burger

Teodora

I've been eating at the Grizz for probably 20 years. Unfortunately we must of visited on a bad evening, the restaurant was a ghost town but to be honest we did have 4:30 PM reservations. Service was great at first, drinks came out, appetizers came out on time and it all tasted pretty good. Then the main course. Something I've been looking forward to all day. I ordered the large prime rib. Wow! What a disappointment!! I really think the restaurant tried to sell me last nights prime rib. I ordered medium rare, but it came out looking like a rubber stamp, and tasted no better. I took two bites and left it on my plate. Now, you would think that a waitress would ask if everything was fine with the meal? Especially seeing a $40 piece of prime rib sitting on a plate, uneaten? Nope! "Would you like a take out container" I was asked? Luckily my wife and daughters meal was good and they didn't want me to make a scene at my daughters university graduation dinner. I now take pen to paper (so to speak) and complain in a much more orderly fashion without incident and embarrassment to all involved. Grizz staff, if your reading? I sure hope this evening was a one off? Your prime rib dinner is in the pic. Thanks for the take out container!

Victoria

Bar tenders need to learn how to better make drinks. Service was slow

David Leclerc

Good

Natalie R

We had a wonderful server and excellent food. My wife and I both had steak and they were delicious. My wife especially enjoyed the roasted Brussel sprouts with bacon. And the bread they brought was warm and oh-so-wonderful. A previous reviewer indicated this restaurant was a buffet. That was not our experience. Menus, waitresses who take your order, and food delivered to your table. We will come back the next time we are in Kingston.

Nick P

Always a fun spot!

Patrick Johnson

Love the food here! A great place for pool and drinks.

David Lafalcia

Great atmosphere and with pool tables upstairs and a dance floor downstairs, this is a good place early or late in the evening. Service at the bar is very inefficient and slow however.

Jeananne Vickery

Awesome food. The only neg was the music was so load on patio and we had to ask around 5 times before we could hear each other without yelling.

Annah Harriman

Had the carvery board for 4, everything was good except the ribs, tasty but tough.

Darren Smith

We had a great birthday dinner... Good times.. Great food.. Good drinks

Ricky Moore

The kitchen staff don't know the difference between well done steak and medium rear. The meat was overcooked and too salty. The fries were dry like they were sitting in the oil for too long. The French onion soups were too salty either. The buns on the steak sandwiches were charred. Unhealthy to eat. The only good thing was the salad and fried brie - even though it was very small. The server was nice and the food arrived on time. But because of the food quality to price ratio I would never recommend the establishment.

Ryan Grightmire

Great bar!

David Lord

Pricey, but the quality of the food is amazing. Good service and a very comfortable environment. Good selection of beers and drinks.

This is supposed to be a reputable establishment in Kingston. The grizzly has been part of the hub of kingston for as long as I can remember. I have had a passable breakfast buffet here, but tonight's dinner deserved a serious reprimand... I was always told that the Grizzly was a more upscale place and the menu prices attested to this, however, execution and promptness of service did not match the price tag. We waited well over an hour for our orders, and when we got our food it was either undercooked, or completely overcooked (thanks for killing my bison burger; like dead, dry, charcoal brick). I have eaten all over this wonderful city and I would hands down recommend the keg over the grizzly. Better prompt service an they won't kill your meat. Sorry Grizzly, but you failed, you won't get a second chance.

Steven C

Came here for a team dinner, we had set menu's with two options to choose from for our entree and a salad. The staff was very nice and accommodating to girls tweaking little things in the menu.

Just wanted to give a shout out to the Grizzly Grill for supporting my efforts to surprise a family member with some much needed respite from the kitchen. With living 4 hours away it’s difficult to show support in a tangible way. I sent an email requesting a delivery of a gift card and to attach a note. Thank you for responding to my email request and promptly getting out my surprise she loved it and sent me this pic!

Steve Macbeth

Slower service but great food.

Ryan Oquinn

I have been going to the Grizzly grill since I was knee high. For the longest time they were one of the biggest must dine restaurants in the area but in recent years the edge on their blade has dulled. At dinner time the Grizzly plays their best game, the menu is fresh and plentiful with gems like their duck pizza and prime rib, as well as their more casual dishes like fish and chips. Appetizers are another strong arm the Grizzly has, the calamari is my personal favourite aside from spinach dip. The beet frites are quite popular if you like beets. Where the Grizzly loses their bite is during their weekend brunch. The selection is minimal for the 18.00 that brunch costs. The buffet is missing a more plentiful salad and dessert selection and completely ignores certain brunch classics such as waffles and French toast. Drinks are a big wallet eater with beer costing between 7-9 per pint and spirits being 7 at the least for cheaper spirits. If you are looking to grab a drink here go on Monday for cheap pints ($5) and free pool.

Artom Kharitonov (SirGluk)

Fantastic atmosphere! The menu years ago was to die for, was a little disappointed not to see those kinds of foods still available. A great menu for kids/family though!

Lovely local restaurant that serves fantastic food! Went in for a team lunch while in Kingston for a soccer tournament and the service was wonderful.

Michael Dunstan

The food was overpriced and the service was terrible.

Andrew Scahill

Have the best prime rib ever! Had a few big group events there and the service was fantastic. Home made cheesecake dessert was to die for. They also have pool and cool bar areas which are awesome. Very classy restaurant for a nice dinner or party with friends.

New Years eve dinner was amazing. Service was great and ambience was fun. Great place for dinner and fun spot to party into the night.

I'm actually very disappointed in the grizzly grill. The server never once came to the table and asked how it is, and it's a buffet style now, and everything is so hard and old, my cookie, and cinnamon bun as inedible. This place was once sooo good now it's embarrassing to even eat here

It was not worth the money. I got this like sweet potato salad once that came with like three wedges and a few leaves.

The carvery board on Sunday is a delicious treat at an unmatchable value. The board for 2 feeds my family of 3 with left overs for $45.

Food was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced considering the quality. Food arrived quickly and the service was great. Very cozy atmosphere; classy yet casual. Will definitely be going again and recommend others to give it a try, too!

In Kingston for business for 9 days. Was looking for a steakhouse to have dinner and saw The Grizzly Grill on Google. Decided to give it a try. Cool location. Interior is like a lot cabin/lodge with log railing and staircase. Fireplace upstairs to warm you up on those cold nights. Had the Fried Pork Belly starter and was not disappointed. Ordered the Ribeye on the recommendation of my server. Steak was cooked perfectly and tasted great. But the standout was the Brussels Sprouts that came on the side. Cooked with shallots and bacon, OMG they were the best Brussels Sprouts I've ever had. Finished with the Chocolate Decadence cake with a cup of coffee and could not have topped of the meal any better. Would highly recommend The Grizzly Grill.

Absolutely Terrible service. Ordered a round for 6 people and it took 10 minutes to get 2 drinks, another 10 minutes for 3 drinks and then the last one never came. Bar tender is awfully rude. I will never go back here. Dont waste your time, please

My husband and I came here for Sunday brunch. The experience was less than satisfactory. First of all, we stood by the reception table for a good five minutes waiting for the waitress. It wasn’t until other guests came in that the chef told us to just sit wherever we wanted to. My husband ordered the hungry man’s breakfast with daily soup and I ordered the mushroom frittata with home fries. Our ordered arrived 30+ minutes after ordering. Fine, because we weren’t hungry at all. Hungry man’s breakfast contained steak (see photo) - 50%+ fat in the steak. Daily soup was obviously overnight chicken noodle soup with vinegar spilled into it. What was left of the steak was very good, cooked to the perfect tenderness. Mushroom frittata - the menu said there was goat cheese in the frittata but I swear I couldn’t taste it. The frittata was incredibly dry and unseasoned. The home fries were very good though, I give them that. In all fairness this is a steak house. However, if you’re not going to serve good brunch, maybe you shouldn’t offer a brunch menu.

So terrible that the Grizzly Salad has changed!

I think whoever runs the kitchen has a vendetta against the unsuspecting public. Place looks nice though. Edit: now that some time has passed I would like take back my review.

Zachary Leger

Friendly staff, great food

Amanda Dice

Thanks nicole! Great server. Steaks were amazing. $40 amazing. But hey... order soup if you have to. Very hunting lodge looking interior. Cool. The Keg but with local character and flare instead.

Chris Bevan

Didn't even order food. Took over 30 minutes for our table to get half of our drinks. What a logistical nightmare. Never again.

Sylvie Groulx

Highly recommend food and service was excellent

Some friends and I had a very interesting experience here. I will preface this by saying our entire meal was eventually covered by the restaurant which was very much appreciated, and in my mind the right thing to do. We're in town for a company hockey tournament and just finished playing 3 games, and are hungry. We had called about 3 hours ahead to make a reservation for 14 people which they confirmed would not be a problem. We get there in the evening and get seated and order some drinks, appetizers, and our meals. The drinks come as do the appetizers and a second round of drinks. About 2.5-hours later, there was still no main course and it's about 10:30pm now. A manager comes over to apologize for the long wait and offers to send some free snacks to hold us over. At this point a few of my friends couldn't stick around any longer, so they left. The rest of us stayed. We complained about the fact that there was very little communication about the delay, which was caused by a 'party of 80 people' on the top floor and their kitchen not being able to handle the capacity. They did eventually bring out the food albeit extremely delayed, and they took care of the entire bill for us. It was a pretty good burger, and the atmosphere was nice but waiting 2.5 hours for a burger isn't the best idea of dining in my mind. I really wish they had communicated this before hand, either when I made the reservation or when we placed our orders. Perhaps in the future they would either close the restaurant down for the private event, or bring in additional kitchen staff or something.

So so service....Mother's Day buffet selection has dramatically changed and for the worse. It's so sad that the number of items has been reduced. Don't sit by the stairs, unless you want to be showered in spilt drinks. Thanks for the sticky shower this morning!

Luke Macdonald

Great food and damn good drinks.
