“My grandma loves when I pick up food for her there! She’s disabled so often can’t go in but adores the food and the pick up options are really easy.“

“My wife and I celebrated our 3-year anniversary here, and the experience was absolutely unforgettable. I called ahead and asked the staff if they could help me surprise my wife for our anniversary dinner. All I told them was, “I’m planning to bring my wife here for our first time to celebrate our 3-year anniversary. Please help me make it a memorable experience for her. She doesn’t know about this.” From that moment on, the staff went above and beyond for us. They were incredibly kind, helpful, and accommodating. They spent time with me on the phone suggesting ideas and helping plan the entire evening. As soon as we walked through the front doors, we were greeted with warm smiles and escorted to our table. While my wife was admiring the beautiful and cozy atmosphere, the staff gave me the reassuring “we got you” signal, allowing me to sit back, relax, and enjoy the night with her. The evening turned out even better than I expected. Every moment left my wife amazed, and she had a smile on her face the entire night. Thank you to all of the amazing staff members for making our anniversary so special. We officially found our new favorite place for dinner dates. I would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone. Thank you again, Annie Gunn's!“

“Most expensive dinner I have ever splurged for but it was WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! It really felt special. All of it. We really loved our server too , Martin (Marteen). Just wish we had not waited so long to go!“

“Food as usual did not disappoint, however this was the first time we had Dave as a server, and the services was subpar for what we are used to at Kreis" Steakhouse. Maybe it was just a bad not, but it was continuous throughout the evening, as well as waiting on our check for 15 minutes before having to ask for it.“

“Top- Notch Service. The place is amazing!! We loved the experience and will go again soon!!“

“Had Chris’ birthday dinner at Stoney River Steakhouse. As our server Tate was amazing! The steaks were tender enough to cut with a fork and the carrot cake for Chris was exceptional! Tate made the birthday experience for Chris extra special… and he made sure to keep my Long Island properly filled and made sure my chocolate cake had the proper amount of ganache! Great birthday dinner! Excellent food. AMAZING service!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food is great and staff is too. Definitely recommend.“

“The service was excellent; the waitress made my special birthday with my family!! The food was amazing I will be returning and recommending this elegant restaurant to everyone I know and I hope their experience is just as amazing as ours. Thanks again for making this a special occasion to celebrate the great food and hospitality at this amazing restaurant.“

“The food was delicious! Our server was Carol and she was absolutely amazing!! Very attentive, cheerful, fun and organized!! I will definitely return the next time I'm in town!! Definitely a 10/10 experience!“

“Off The Grill (Dorsett) — January Yum‑ary Pick

Off The Grill on Dorsett is one of those spots that somehow freezes time in the best way. I hadn’t been in years, but the second those sirloin tips hit the table, it was like nothing had changed — still tender, still seasoned right, still that “why don’t I come here more often” kind of good.

And the loaded potato? Listen. It’s exactly the kind of chaos I want in a side: cheese melting into butter, bacon bits piled like they’re trying to prove a point. Zero notes.

I also grabbed the chicken ranch pita, and it was so solid I didn’t even realize until after I finished it that I forgot to put the ranch on. That’s how you know the chicken is doing the heavy lifting — juicy, flavorful, no sauce required.

What did surprise me was spotting a filet mignon on the menu. Either that’s new or I was too broke back in the day to even look in that direction. Either way, I’m absolutely coming back for it. If their sirloin tips are still hitting after all these years, I’m ready to see what they do with a filet.

Verdict: Off The Grill is still Off The Grill — dependable, hearty, and quietly elite. A perfect January comfort pick.

“Really enjoy the quiet professional environment and atmosphere. We can have conversations and the food is excellent. However the prices are extremely expensive!!.. Unfortunately with everything else in life getting ridiculously expensive we can’t visit surf and sirloin as often.“

“I visited Longhorn for the first time last night. We came in an hour before close and Calie made us feel totally welcome and not rushed. She was so sweet and brought our salads at lightening speed. The food was amazing I can’t believe I’ve never had it, and it was reasonably priced for the large portions we received. We would definitely come back.“
