    Phoenix City Grill has been a consistently great place to eat for more than 20 years! Sunday Brunch menu is amazing and the only thing I wish was that they would put their griddle cakes back on the menu!!!

    This is our third time dining here with my family in as many weeks. Every entree has been excellent! From burgers, to sandwiches to all the specials- everything is perfection. And the servers are great too (especially Jonah!) highly highly recommend

    We had a wonderful meal last night. The specials of the evening, swordfish and a lemon pasta with seafood were both delicious and our service was excellent.

    I ordered the short ribs from the main menu. The ribs were decent but the mashed potatoes that came with the meal were extremely garlicy. I sampled 2 red wines and they were both very sour so I chose to drink water instead.
    Phoenix City GrilleResponded on 3 April 2025
    Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. While we’re glad you enjoyed the short ribs, we’re sorry to hear that the mashed potatoes and wine selections didn’t meet your expectations. We strive to balance flavors in our dishes, and our garlic mashed potatoes are normally well received. But we will be sure to review the seasoning on our potatoes to ensure consistency. As for the wine, we aim to offer a diverse selection, and taste preferences can vary. We’d love the opportunity to help you find a wine that better suits your palate on your next visit. We hope to welcome you back soon and appreciate your input as we continue to refine our offerings. Best, Dennis Shaw Owner, Phoenix City Grille

    The burger is one of the best burgers in town. The yellow split pea soup was fantastic.

    The short ribs weren’t falling apart as they should, the “sauce” they used on top of them was always almost tasteless. For the price it was definitely not worth it, go to the Henry for the same price and extremely better quality food.

    I’ve eaten here many times over the last few years. Unfortunately, the last two times, the food was not up to par. My salad was great but my guests, none of them enjoyed their meals. One person ordered the fish and chips special for lunch and got two small pieces of fish, but weird fingerling potatoes and a mishmash of cabbage and who knows what, that she said tasted awful. They were nice enough to comp her meal, but I’ll probably not recommend this again with friends.
