Food was SO good and portion was filling! Bar tender was so friendly and helpful - and really accommodating! The street tacos with the corn tortillas were among the best I’ve had. The server was polite and friendly too. I’m bummed I didn’t snap a photo, however — I’ll be back!

Asked for lemon for my water. The server who also appeared to be a manger went to the bar, picked a lemon with her fingers and dropped it into my glass of water. Not acceptable. This is basic. We ordered soup. It was chicken wild rice with bacon. Very little rice. Thin. And the cream tasted curdled. I have loved their hamburgers in the past but definitely this changed my mind on how they are following sanitary protocol. At least it wasn't too noisy.

Pretty basic food. The name is a far cry from the type of food they serve, but they have really good Homemade Potato Chips & their Tator Tots were done Perfectly.

A great location for us! The Grillium is located across the street from our short term rental AKA: Forest Lake City Cottage. We love to stop over here for a rewarding meal after cleaning our property. A relaxed atmosphere with plenty of TVs too! My favorite snack... The Nacho Platter. A great value and great flavor :)

Stopped for the first time and didn’t have high expectations as the menu was lead by basic bar fare. Not my thing but others in the group enjoy. Couple of us had burgers and they were very good. I tried a couple surprising finds on the menu. The Brussels sprouts appetizer and the red pepper gouda soup. The Brussels were perfectly cooked and has a nice amount of dry seasoning and toppings. Very good and a drizzle of balsamic would have made them great. The red pepper gouda soup was amazing. Not something you see very often so you know it near and dear for someone to put this on the menu. I would go back for both, but could eat just a gallon of the soup all alone. Check them out.

The food was above average and came out relatively quick. The table tops were clean however the chairs were all dirty with various food and condiments stuck on them
Pros: The food here was AMAZING and a great deal price wise. Drinks were great and also not pricey. We did the Saturday bottomless mimosas. Loved the vibe.
Cons: Our server, Debbie, made it very clear that she didn't like us from the start. We were a group of six and she was upset that we were separate tabs. She was also upset when we said we were ready to order right away. She didn't come over to fill our drinks very often and told us that last call was 20 MINUTES before noon (when the bottomless mimosas actually ended). I understand being a waitress is hard and that a big group isn't always fun, but it was not busy and we were kind and respectful and we still tipped her. Debbie made a really fun time uncomfortable. We were bummed.
Despite the service from one waiter, we will be returning. Hopefully sitting in a different section...
