E&E Stakeout Grill

NOT Recommended. ( They need extensive improvements ) I will try this in next months and hopefully to change this review if improvements happened. . You can enjoy the food in other places. So I had a chance to test this Restaurant. In florida. Overal. I Dont think the chef is spending time to prepare the dishes... the meat broth Soup is a trick (its the same French onion soup without The Cheese, kinda funny since they didn't disclose it ). Also the Sea bass plate I ordered was nightmare... bad recepie, horrible taste and Risotto was not even cooked correctly. - The octopus entree was acceptable and no specific design as a Chef... - the sparkling water taste amazing. - the oil and Bread was nice. But more balsamic vinegar was needed since was too greasy. - ceaser Salad was Not ceaser salad with a very bad presentation. In general the restaurant needed food design presentation and recipient improvements.

The food was excellent. Everything we ordered was delicious, especially the asparagus, it was the most tender and best-tasting asparagus I have ever had. The burger and the filet mignon were both very good, and the calamari was also tasty. Highly recommended.

Loved the bread with the individual oil and butter dipping options. Waiter recommended a great bottle of wine. Scallop salad was OK but scallops were over fried and the fried cheese felt like little mozzarella squares. Rest of salad was great the fruit, fresh and delicious and the candied nuts done to perfection

Our waiter was training another waiter for the day He was nice and refilled our teas, asked how our steaks were etc. Our food was delicious and cooked to our liking. I got the 6oz filet mignon husband got the ribeye 16 oz. The best calamari we have eaten so far in Florida!! Highly recommend a visit here!

Delicious food, huge portions. We were sitting outside as the place was busy even on Monday evening. Reservations recommended. Service is nice. Price rag for 2 starters and entrees without drinks $130.

Good food, not so good service. Made a reservation for 4 and even screen shot it. The hostess Hanna was kind of abrupt and not pleasant and tried to tell me I only made a reservation for 2. I showed her my confirmation and she was like it’s only for 2. Our waitress Emily failed to put in our second drink order and finally we said something after 15-20 mins of seeing her take water etc. to other tables, she never gave our table water like every other table around us. Sat with our food and nothing to drink for the second half of our dinner. She also never checked on our table. Then it’s like she has no intuition or was in a rush to get us out, she brought one desert menu dropped it by me and wanted to take our desert order immediately. I had just finished filling out the check and she ripped the receipt off the table within one minute of bringing it back while we were still seated. Great food just unfortunate with the service experience. Lobster escargot was definitely still the best after trying it years ago.

Amazing food. I had salmon and the African lobster with asparagus. We ate outside and they had an entertainer outside. He played softly so we could still have table conversations. Definitely make reservations.

Per usual consistently delicious. We chose two dinners from the chef's daily special menu, and did not disappoint. After a round of yummy appetizers, we were served our entrees which were abundant portions seasoned & cooked to perfection 😋 If you save room, do yourself a favor and order the 1 of 2 desserts that E&E has been making in house for years! Staff is always friendly & attentive. BTW, E&E closes @ 10pm, so it's recommended to reserve your table between 8-9p to avoid their typical early rush from 5-7p.

Server Stephanie did outstanding job handling our large party. However she asked our table if we would like basket of rolls. We said yes! Only to find out we were EACH charged $.95 for a dinner roll. Really???

My partner and I were visiting my elderly aunt who rarely gets out for dinner, and she wanted steak. Unfamiliar with the area, I browsed restaurants on my phone and settled on E&E because there were many positive comments and reviews. We didn't have a reservation (my fault) and initially were advised it would be a two hour wait. With my aunt hobbling along with a cane, a long wait was out of the question and driving around aimlessly looking for a steak would be a nightmare. Thankfully, the host took pity on us, suggested we wait 10 minutes, and worked her magic to find us a table. Shortly thereafter we were seated at a lovely semi-circular booth table. The restaurant was buzzy and busy but not so loud as to prevent conversation. The servers and staff were professional and attentive. And, the food! We each had a steak (Delmonico, NY Strip, and Filet) all of which were perfectly grilled and seasoned. We agreed they were the best steaks we ever had. Kudos to the chef, and I am forever grateful to the host and other staff who went out of their way to take care of us. Next time I'm visiting the area I'll go out of my way to have dinner here again.

Great food, efficient service. Great health drinks too I hope to tge Largo location

Restaurant was FREEZING! If you thought it was getting cold outside just wait. The AC was coming from every angle and there was no seat to avoid it. Our waitress Angela was AMAZING!! She was very attentive and when my steak was found to be too rare (twice) she apologized profusely and they covered my wine. Outside of the steak seeming to not get cooked enough (it was very thick), it was still very good. It was very tender and well flavored. The veggies were good. And the Mac and cheese was very good but also very garlicky. Lucky for me I like it that way but others may not. Would definitely come back to give it another shot because of the staff quality and taste of the food.

The prime rib was cooked to perfection . Delicious and so tender. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal. Service was efficient and our server was very pleasant . Now I know why this restaurant is so popular. Prices were reasonable as well.

We had reservations and we were seated immediately. Our server was great and our drinks were great. The bottle of wine was chilled and served as requested. I could go on about the service being superb. But, steak ordered medium rare came out below medium. Manager came by and ensured he would compensate (bill was $280 before tip). The side veggie , broccoli, was raw. Two couples including tip, spent over $400.

We met some friends there for an impromptu dinner. The ambience was lovely but unexpected being that it is locate in a strip mall. We started with bread and dipping oil which was wonderful. I ordered the sea bass with garlic mashed potatoes. I started with the clam chowder which was delicious. My sea bass was disappointing and the potatoes were not as fresh as I would have liked. We ended with a lovely chocolate dessert, which was excellent. I would recommend this place but perhaps try something else.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted and given incredible service. The host immediately sat us down for our reservation and congratulated us on our anniversary. Minutes later, another server appeared, took our drink orders and brought fresh bread. I ordered their take of an Espresso Martini which was delicious! We both ordered a steak and shared sides which were huge haha. Our steaks were tender, and cooked to perfection. Shortly after the manager of the restaurant came by to check on our dinner. We sang their praises and applauded everything being on point. We ended the night with a complementary dessert, which was a take on berries & waffles. We will definitely be back the next time we're in the area. Amazing prices, and even better service. 10/10!

Wonderful ambiance inside and out! Melodic jazzy tunes can be heard clearly inside and out while dining. Christina was our server, beautiful, attentive, informative and kind. The food was DELICIOUS! Great selections even for vegetarians. We ordered and enjoyed the Cesar salad and the heritage green salad. For our entree we shared the plentiful Chef Miller's Vegetarian Platter. We enjoyed a bottle of water and a bottle of dry pinot noir.

Sometimes somebody does something well and they keep doing it. And it stands the test of time. That's how I feel about this restaurant that I recently had the pleasure to revisit after 20 years away. I remember when they opened. I was living here at the time. My parents would always come here for the early bird rodeo steak. Chef deserves all the kudos. This is a special place.

Here to celebrate our 49th anniversary today. James was our server and did an awesome job. I had the grouper. Wife had the pork chops. Son had the Delmonico steak. Everything was on point. We love the quiet atmosphere of the place. Hopefully we'll be back for our 50th.

Surprised we haven't checked this place out sooner. We decided to celebrate our anniversary at this local steakhouse. It was a Sunday and was super busy. We learned that they have a prime rib special on Sundays. Will have to try it next time as it was sold out. As you walk in , the place looks like a typical steakhouse. Table cloth on tables. They also have seasonal/ daily specials and after going over the menu we settled with the following: Grilled octopus Lobstercargo lobster meat in escargot sauce Main course we have the 6 oz fillet and delmonico ribeye. All were delicious. For desert we had the crème brulee and pistachio torte Service was superb! 4 stars because we were not greeted right away and stood there until they realized we were waiting to be greeted and seated. However the manager came to our table, apologized and took the crème brulee off our tab! I definitely recommend this place and will be back to bring the whole family.

I was brought here on my last day of work, and let me tell you--I did not expect what I saw when I walked in. E & E is tucked into a strip mall off West Bay, close to Largo Hospital, so I was bracing for something low-key. But the moment you step inside, the place screams upscale. It's sleek, elegant, and honestly a bit surprising given the location. Service was on point. Our server was attentive without being overbearing, and they kept the warm bread and dipping sauce coming nonstop, which honestly could've been a meal in itself. By the time our entrées arrived, I was already impressed. I ordered the filet, cooked medium rare, and it came out perfectly. Juicy, tender, and seasoned just right--it didn't need a thing added to it. The sides were equally solid. I had the garlic mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus, both fresh and flavorful without feeling heavy. My tablemates were also happy with their dishes, especially the ribeye and the shrimp scampi, which apparently had just the right amount of kick. The atmosphere made the night feel a bit special--dim lighting, cozy booths, and an overall polished vibe without being pretentious. It was the kind of place you'd go for a celebration, a date night, or in my case, a memorable send-off. All in all, E & E Steakhouse Grill was a surprise in the best way. If you're in the Largo area and want a spot that delivers on food, service, and ambiance, this is it.

Well hello...where have you been all my life??!!! 10 out of 10. Can't wait to come back. Service was terrific, we sat outside weather was perfect for it. Food was fresh and tasty. Had the truffle potatoes, salmon salad, and fish.

Solid four stars. Good service and the food was hot and tasty and presented well. Nice atmosphere. Bar scene looked vibrant. Will return.

I was treated to dinner here for my birthday. I had never heard of this place and it's a bit of a drive from where I live but what a good find! The restaurant isn't huge and has unique seating with some private, intimate areas. It caught me a little off guard when we pulled in because GPS took us down the road at first and then we pulled into a strip plaza. Definitely wasn't expecting it to be so nice inside. The food and service was great but I wasn't crazy about the sides, felt a little skimpy in my opinion and compared to other high end places. Overall though, great experience and I would definitely return.

First time here and probably the last. My dear mother gave us a $100 gift certificate so we finally chose to use it. We both studied the menu ahead of time and I nearly choked on the prices for most of the options. However since it's close to my birthday, who cares? We arrived for the opening at 4pm and there was already a herd out there waiting. Hostess said that all there is are outdoor tables and hi tops by the bar, plus the bar itself. So we got a hi top for 4 and that was that. A few minutes afterward the waitress (Christina) showed up and fetched us bread and oil... We also skipped apps and went right to entrees. Prime rib for the Queen Bee and Delmonico (ie ribeye) for me. Both came with grilled veggies while I chose a baked tater and QB stayed with "loaded" mashed taters. Based on how crowded this place was from the get go (huge party in the back), I was thinking it would be a long wait. However not even 15 minutes after we ordered, the food runner came out with our plates. Holy crow!! Her prime rib was in fact rare as she asked for it. My ribeye was a lil underdone for medium but still quite acceptable. Prime rib has no flavor to begin with so I can't tell ya much...horsey sauce and au jus were both good however, as were the mashed taters. Actually it was potato mousseline and not "mashed taters" in the strict sense. Ribeye as I said was a lil less than medium but not so rare as I didn't like it. One quick word about that...As soon as the food runner left, Christina came along and asked me to cut into my steak just to see. She looked as well and a frown came across her face. I told her it was fine and that was that. As I said: I don't think we are gonna be back. For one thing, I don't like overpriced food. The above along with 4 glasses of house Cabernet (Copper Ridge) came up to just under $114 with tax, including. $1.50 "upcharge" for a damn baked potato. Service was solicitous and friendly, if a bit disjointed. As Christina brought back the receipt she said that she "hope(d) you enjoyed your first meal with us." Well, to be honest, it'll STILL be our last. I can get all this and more for less at Longhorn while enjoying my experience a lot more than I will paying for way overpriced food. Four stars ONLY because of the rather decent service and well prepared food. Certainly NOT for having to eat at a hi top with no tablecloth and a server station over my left shoulder. NOR four stars for the way overpriced food...However, at the same time: thanks Mom!

It's been awhile since I went to a steakhouse.. it's been awhile since I've gone out to eat. Service was good, the food was really good. I won't say great yet because it was good. I'll go back and try it again. However, it should stop you from trying, I'm just being conservative about it because I was didn't know the to think. 1. The sampler platter was great except for one item. 2 the escargot was amazing as well but I wish the bread came out earlier. 3. My steak was cooked fine. The sauce I ordered which was the béarnaise, it was a bit bland. I gave it a 4 star because I want to go back.. I think it can be a 5.

Always have a great experience at E&E. The staff and service is beyond compare. Always great food.

LORD HAVE MERCY. I am from out-of state but visit Florida often, and this is by far the BEST meal I ever remember having here... I came here with my parents and my husband to celebrate my mom's retirement. We started with steak tartare which was on the "specials" menu and it was pretty good! I appreciated that they put the "toppings" (onions, pickles, capers) on the side, instead of mixed into the tartare. I also ordered the french onion soup to start with and it was excellent! It had a different flavor than I'm used to for french onion soup, but I loved it. For my entree, I got the 9oz filet mignon (medium-rare). It came out cooked PERFECTLY. It was juicy, tender and the flavor was unbelievable. It wasn't over or under seasoned but just right. There's nothing that could possibly make this steak any better! For dessert, we all shared the creme brûlée cheesecake off the "specials" menu. The cheesecake itself was delicious but the mango sauce was outstanding! I've never had cheesecake like this before and it was amazing. I am still daydreaming about this meal days after eating it. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!!

Have been to E&E Stakeout several times and never leave disappointed. Last week I met a client there for lunch. Enjoy a fantastic cup of French Onion soup before a lunch special of steak, potatoes and red wine. Everything was delicious. Service was good and the dining room is semi-elegant and relaxed.

Surly, curt, borderline hostile service. Mediocre food at fine dining prices. Decor worn and garish. Nice wine though. Note to restaurant; please don't contact me.

Lovely restaurant with a wonderful intimate setting that is perfect date nights or any special occasion. I took my girlfriend here for our anniversary & everything was top notch! The service is very friendly, knowledgeable, & accommodating. My girlfriend has a dairy allergy & our server helped make sure nothing she ordered had any contact with dairy, down to the croutons on her salad! Their fish dishes are amazing & fresh, & their steaks are cooked to perfection! They also have a Chef's menu that changes regularly so there's always something new to try when you come. As for the prices they aren't cheap but you definitely get your money's worth. They do have a lunch menu & an early dinner menu that is affordable & budget friendly.

This restaurant is the most consistent of any restaurant I have ever eaten !!!! I have eaten here since we moved here. It was Eugene's years ago. Yesterday I stopped in for Happy hour and the margarita was wonderful as well as the oysters !!! Exceptional service and food

Mother's Day was great. No issues on rolls and excellent oil mix I personally loved. I enjoyed my medium rare 8 rack lamb, my daughter and future son in law enjoyed the steak and the chowder was Awesome. My wife the guest of honor also Loved the steak and chowder!!We got TWO not one desert specials to go, not telling you since you can check what the Mothers Day was in the menu in line! Service was great along with food. Being life long Largo resident I remember when this establishment started and where it is Today. For those picky on prices this is not a heat and serve or left over restaurant you wait for your meal which is fresh and specially made and that's why it has existed so long.

We were a party of 4. I ordered the escargot, which was very good. Had shrimp Greco for dinner with a side of loaded mash potatoes. All very fresh and good. My husband and our friend ordered the porkchop which was the star of the show! So juicy and moist. Dessert was zepoles/beignets. OMG SO GOOD! Great service as well. Very friendly. A definite go again!

Ambiance 4/10 Service 6/10 Food 8/10 We did make a reservation a week in advance and put down it was for a birthday... showed up 10 min early and got a small booth in the side of the room. 2 party walk-ins had larger tables around us. Received a "happy birthday" for my guest at the entrance and that was all. May be because we are younger and the other tables received better service... still don't think ageism is ok. Will not be coming back.

Wow...just WOW! Phenomenal. 10 stars. So well run. Everyone is on their game here. Una, our server was impeccable. Enjoyed the Kokopelli's margarita & Old fashioned cocktails. Spot on. Ordered the 6oz Filet & Blue crab cake. Cooked perfectly. Taste off the charts. (Esp loved the mushroom marsala sauce.) And also the Delmonico steak. Again, off the charts good. Start to finish E&E is a winner!!

Everything was Spectacular! Michelle our server, was extremely knowledgeable about everything on that menu and delivered top notch very relaxed service. The Osobuco fell off the bone and was absolutely perfect. The twin lobster tails and 6oz fillet were both so tender, there was almost no effort to cut and enjoy them. Absolutely fabulous, plentiful meal. Didn't get to the desserts but they looked equally delicious! We'll be back. 100% recommend E&E!!!

Absolutely loved everything about this place. Started by ordering a glass of wine. My husband ordered the same thing. The waiter made a point of saying if we ordered a bottle it would be cheaper and we could take home whatever is leftover. Sold! Then we ordered the corn and fish chowder to start. It was excellent. Creamy with chunks of tender fish. My husband ordered the 4 oz filet with the shrimp. He loved it. Said the steak was done exactly as requested. I ordered the shrimp el greco. Also excellent. Shrimp with olives and tomatoes on deep fried eggplant with a light cream sauce. A lot of food. Ended up taking half home to enjoy later with the leftover wine. The venue itself was cozy and warm. A great date night restaurant. Can't wait to go back.

I really like this place. It's nice and dim and quaint inside. Perfect for dads on Father's Day or any day where a steak is called for...which is always. The prices are reasonable. It definitely feels a little fancier than it costs. They've got a full bar and many drink options and their seafood is topnotch. The service is very friendly and as fast as home cooking can be. Definitely a recommended place for me.

We were driving around the area and decided to stop in for a quick lunch. The hostess was friendly and seated us in a booth in the dining room. We ordered the calamari and a couple of drinks. It came out crispy and tasted very good. For lunch I had the chicken breast sandwich and we had the chicken fajitas. The fajitas were great and a nice portion. The sandwich was also was very good and I liked the panko breadcrumbs. For a mid afternoon, this place was crowded. Service was good and staff was very friendly. We will be back for dinner sometime. Great location and plenty of parking.

Visited for my aunt's birthday dinner. We had a pretty sizable party (9 ppl). But our needs were accommodated for each guest. The service was on point and everyone enjoyed their meal. I personally got the salmon which was cooked perfectly that is served with potatoes and vegetables medley. Definitely will be visiting again!

Been sitting in the bar for an hour Saturday night. No bread, one drink so far. Disgusting mojito, totally blaze service . Long time before I'll be back.

Food was fantastic. I cobbled together my meal of the appetizer Lobstercargot, a side of risotto and their side Kokopelli salad. Service was excellent and prompt. The thing that kept it from 5 stars for me was the acoustics are horrific. You can barely hear your dinner companions. Would return, but this is not the place you want to have an intimate date. :)

Have a C rating with health department which just recently upgraded from a D. They consistently have health department issues and cannot make this place good. Beware if you come here you might get sick or asked to leave in middle of meal by health department.

Popular restaurant; must make reservations. The 4* rating is for the food and servers. The tables are close together and the noise level tends to be high. Not a relaxing experience. The food can take longer to be served than in other restaurants. But the food tends to be fresh and well seasoned and the plating is attractive. I loved the donuts dessert with raspberry sauce. This dessert was wow delicious, unlike my Carolina trout entree which was ok but not wow.

Steak is delicious and so were the sides. Service was great, very professional. It reminded me of Bern's.

The Lamb chops were amazing! The service was polite and timely. The atmosphere is wonderful for a nice dinner.

The worst staff the worst food No customer service all the staff standing talking If you went to waste your money go there

Excellent "chateaubriand" beef carpaccio, black Angus 1/2 lb burger, shrimp Greco and grilled salmon special. Logan & the bartender were very attentive to us. Beautiful indoor dining for business lunch or dinner date but we loved the outdoor seating.

Wonderful experience! I had the filet with rain African lobster tails. The lobster tails exceeded my expectations! So tender and flavorful! My steak was also good but the lobster stole the show. My husband had the NY Strip which was also delicious. The meals came with a generous amount of sides and bread service. Our server was fast and friendly. We were very happy with our experience. The vale was also very fair for the amount and quality of food you received. We will recommend to our friends and visitors.

As I walked in, the ambience was very romantic with low classical music and dimmed lighting. We went there for my husband's birthday and they did not disappoint. I had the boneless short rib and my husband got a 12 ounce fillet. they're loaded mashed potatoes are absolutely delicious and everything we ate. There was very tender and cooked perfectly. I've been living here all my life, and I have never been here and the only thing that we were disappointed in is that we have not came sooner. We will be back soon. Tony was our server and he was amazing and so thoughtful.

We continue to come to E&E, with our most recent visit just a few weeks ago. The food is always delicious and the presentation is lovely. Appetizer and entrée portions are generous. Desserts are delicious. The restaurant has a major redecorating project underway (July 2024). It will have a more coastal feel instead of the southwestern vibe it had before. During season, we recommend take away if you want a great meal, but don't want to have a long wait.

This is an excellent local steakhouse. Our steaks were very juicy and flavorful! Our family loved their mashed sweet potatoes too!

Is this place any good,who knows? I called to make a reservation for 5 people. They didn't have anything early on, yet when I went on their website and looked to see if they had seating for 2 and seating for 3 low and behold, they had seating for 2 at 6:15 and seating for 3 as 6:15...guess they are bad a math??

E and E is a solid spot if you're in the mood for some seafood or steak. The shrimp cocktail was phenomenal and so was the French onion soup. The crab cake was a little small and pricey for an appetizer but still pretty decent. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. For my main meal I tried the skewered tips of fillet. They were pretty average, kind of tough. I would recommend the bookkeeper steak instead! The ambience is nice and welcoming.

First time here. Had zero expectations. It was amazing! The service and food was amazing. Had the prime rib special & it did not disappoint!
