I found out recently that Grand Slam Grill has been in business for over a year and was surprised that many people weren't talking about it. On a recommendation, I decided to check it out.
The bar/restaurant of course has a baseball theme but the decor isn't overwhelming or kitschy. Walking into the door, the first sight is the eye-catching and ample wood bar. There's four flat screen TVs all tuned to something different (and none of it 24/7 cable news - HALLELUJAH). There's about five or six tables in this area, all bar stool height. It was just my boyfriend and I out to lunch, so the waitress sat us at a table in a room around the corner. It was quiet and dimly lit. There's a table for a large party tucked into a back corner, booths against the wall, and tables for four or two person parties in the rest of the room.
The waitress took our drink orders and went over some of the daily specials (one of them was a grilled chicken breast sandwich with a BBQ mayo sauce, served with a side salad). Since we were having a late lunch, we were fine with just splitting something. She recommended the steak sandwich, which was served with steak fries. Since we were splitting, she offered to have the kitchen plate it as two separate instead of us splitting it at the table, which was perfect. It wasn't a long wait for our order.
The steak sandwich was served on a soft roll. The bottom was a bit soggy because of the juices from the steak, but wasn't really a problem. The steak was tender and had just a little pink in the center (we asked for medium well so that was perfect). The steak, cheese, and onions were a great combination with the sauce, which was house-made. What I really liked was the steak wasn't chopped up the way most steak sandwiches are. It was just a whole steak on a roll with the toppings. The fries were crispy and golden brown. The waitress was sure we had ketchup on the table before she brought out our order, too. She was prompt with refilling drinks when needed.
The sandwich and fries were $14 and with our drinks, the bill was less than $20. Not bad for a delicious lunch served with a smile. The quality and portion size are worth the price.
I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely visit again!
