Bryan’s American Grille

A great place for lunch or an after-work drink.

Small little place that we visit for a drink or more after our league games.

I’ve now been here three times (I live super close and love a good homey-bar vibe). My first two experiences were relatively great; my only feedback from those times was that the strawberry mojito tastes… off. I’ve been to MANY different places (Mexico, Puerto Rico, all over the US as well) - I am very well acquainted with how a mojito is supposed to taste… and the strawberry mojitos taste watered down and like they are made with vodka and syrup …. I wish they knew how to make a decent mojito, that would make this place so much better.

My most recent experience (a Sunday night), I tried to give the strawberry mojito one more chance… whelp that was a mistake. It was worse than the first one I ordered. I couldn’t drink it bc it was so off, so I asked for pineapple juice, cherry grenadine, and white rum… I don’t know how she ended up butchering it. I couldn’t even finish that drink because it was so watered down. This place needs some extra care in their mixology … I don’t think the bartenders know how to make drinks. :( In addition, the mozzarella sticks I had absolutely loved the first 2 times came out like they weren’t cooked all the way. My first bite consisted of solid cheese (not warm enough to melt). Very disappointing because I know if I were to come on a Friday or Saturday they would be ok.

I love the location of this place and the food on a night where it feels like the staff care about the food they deliver. The cocktails need massive work, tho.

(P.s. a strawberry mojito should not have anything raspberry flavored) :(

Everything was great except the atmosphere that promoted certain political views. I get enough of that everywhere else. Was hoping to "escape" from it.

Went in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon, wasn't busy, service was good, and food was also good. It's not a big place. Feels like a great neighborhood place. They normally have karaoke on Fridays, but they are having what they are calling Beatles karaoke ? tonight.
I love to sing so maybe I will have to come back.

Bryan's American Grille has quickly become my favorite spot in town! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a welcoming atmosphere that feels like home. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure you have everything you need to enjoy your visit. The menu is amazing, showcasing a variety of delicious dishes that keep you coming back for more. But what truly stands out for me are their drinks. The bartenders are masters at crafting drinks to your personal liking, ensuring each cocktail is perfectly tailored to your taste. Whether you're there for a casual night out or for one of their special event nights like Trivia, Bryan's American Grille never disappoints. Highly recommended!

Burger fell apart like it was asking to end its life already! However, the waitress/bartender was very nice to us and served us right away!

Stoped in this dive bar for a beer. We each got a Guinness. They were poured with an inch of head and the glasses were 350ml. (12oz) for $7.75 each. For like 10 oz of beer. Don’t go here if you want a Guinness. plus they charge 3% for cc. Won’t be back.
