“The caterer for my wedding on 6/14/25 backed out the night before with no refund. Patriots Grill was able to come through in the 11th hour and help us out. Everyone was fed and happy, the food was great, and I cannot thank Gabriel and his team enough for their empathy, help and support. A wonderful family owned place with a great heart!“

“Ever experience is absolutely amazing! Just went back for the second time for our anniversary. Making reservations was super easy, and I definitely recommend doing so. Service was phenomenal from the hostess to the waiter and every one else we encountered. Food? 100/10. The Thai brussel sprouts are soooo good, and every entry we’ve tried has been perfect. A great place on Main Street!“

“My husband and I went in late at night after an event. Our server was new but very enthusiastic. Understandably, the staff were doing their closing tasks, but I it did impact our service, such my husband had to ask for what he needed but it was by then almost the end of our meal. We enjoyed our drinks and half-price appetizers. The onion rings were thick cut like we like them. I got (almost) my usual when I go there, the chicken quesadilla, which was flavorful and was just right. My husband got the Bourbon Street steak and loves it. He mentioned it again this morning. We enjoyed a quiet, relaxed, flavorful dinner at a very reasonable price.“

“The decor is a little dated but the food and service were excellent. I ordered the crab cakes and they were delicious. My husband ordered the fried shrimp and you could tell that they were fresh and not frozen. Our server was very attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back.“

“My wife and I heard about this restaurant from some friends and we decided to try it out for lunch on a beautiful Friday afternoon. We got there at about 2:30 and the staff were eager to help and serve us. We were the only people in a very nice dining area which did not distract from excellent service. We order a glass of wine and a Draft beer. Full lunch menu and we order the grilled chicken sandwich and the Philly Steak sandwich. Both were excellent and well prepared. Also had some onion rings and fries and they too were great. excellent experience and we will return.“

“The Office has been my go-to spot for great drinks, great food, and absolutely stellar service for 5 years now. I cannot recommend this place enough. If you're ever in the area and need a good drink, check this place out.“
