Stpped in Friday afternoon for fish fry. This is the one we have been looking for. Fish was awesome. Walleye cheeks were great. Selection of top shelf liquor best in area. Service friendly and fast. You have to try this place. We will be back soon

We were in town to cater a wedding and had an amazing time two nights in a row!

Mary and Kevin did not disappoint in the kitchen! The food hit the spot and cooked to perfection. We went two nights in a row close to the end of food service due to our catering commitment and our servers, Hailey and Cole, took us in without complaint. Having been in the industry for many years, this is most server's pet peeve!

On the second night we met Tyler, the Assistant GM, who introduced us to a new vodka. Dawn was churning out old fashioneds for us that were off the chain! The one featuring Shanky's Whip was my favorite. Sue was by definition, all the best parts of midwest hospitality and we can't forget our good buddy Landon.

I highly recommend Center Grill!! You can even bowl if you want!

We had the best experience ever! We were in town for a baseball tournament and had roughly 25 people in our party. My son (highly allergic to milk and egg) has never been treated with so much care and respect. Staff went above and beyond to accommodate. The chef was absolutely amazing. He not only came out and directly talked with us, but he made my son dairy and egg free chicken tenders and steak fries. Amazing. I can’t say enough about this establishment and employees. Top notch!!

So unbelievable upset at this place right now, just wanted to enjoy my favorite burger for my birthday, not much to ask for. Went in & didn't get service due to a bunch of people ordering drinks, which is fine. But then I proceed to wait awhile after leaving to try and place an order for take out. Just for them to ignore the phone. Never eating here again. The service is always mid. And today definitely pushed it. Good food though.

Had the shrimp scampi with a hot chocolate and shot of irish cream. They were delicious.They have a nice bar with different drink varieties and you can even go bowling.

Had fish fry for lunch added 3 coconut shrimp. The 2 piece fish is 2 huge filets of perfectly fried lightly beer battered flakey fish. And the tarter! Thank God it isn't the sickening sweet tarter that is in a lot of restaurants. The coconut shrimp is actually coconut shrimp, not just panko breaded, which they served with a nice sweet chili sauce. The service was stellar and friendly.We will go back for sure. This is NOT what you would expect in a bowling alley. The place is clean and comfortable and has a nice atmosphere aside from the bowling area.

Came from out of town. The sign wasn't real easy to spot as the bowling alley is in the same building and so you see that sign, but not so quickly the sign under. Glad we did though, as our lunch was delicious.we had a burger, a chicken tender sandwich, and a pulled pork sandwich, and a Flatbread appetizer. Buns very fresh.Waitress with a smile and very efficient.

Parking: Might not get front row parking and be careful at the little marked drop by the door

The food is good, a little expensive but usually worth the cost.Fairly typical dinner menu items, burgers, fries, steaks, fish.Unfortunately for us, my family's favorite items were the wraps and mac and cheese, which they no longer make since they revamped the menu.We used to go here every other week for wraps and mac and cheese, but now it's just another place to get burgers and fish.

If you want something in a hurry with great taste and looks amazing. Then you need to come try out the restaurant. Try it with a Blue Moon with a lemon.

This is our new favorite restaurant in Merrill. The Fish fry is great, I love that you have the option of a loaded baked potato. The Pork Chop entree is something I would’ve never ordered, however, my Mom did and she had me try it and it is one of the best things I have ever eaten. Please don’t ever take that off the menu because it is GOLDEN. Another favorite of mine is their Tuscan gnocchi. Thank you for taking the food in Merrill to the next level.
