The Grizzly Grill Review

Love the Sunday car very board.. Great value and super tasty!

Nice burgers and very friendly staff. Loved the artichoke dip

Great place for a meal, drink and reconnecting with old friends.

A friend and I had supper here as a celebration. The meal was excellent and the service outstanding. I had reserved a table upstairs by the fireplace and that is exactly what we had. I had been here for Lunch several years ago, but I wanted to try it as a treat. Mission accomplished.

Came here for a team dinner, we had set menu's with two options to choose from for our entree and a salad. The staff was very nice and accommodating to girls tweaking little things in the menu. Everyone really enjoyed there meals, being either a vegetarian pasta, or alfredo or meatballs. They also served fresh bread which was amazing. Would definitely recommend, portion sizing was great.

Usually a great place to go dancing on the weekends.

Always a great place for a few games of pool and dinner. Kitchen delivered a half rack of ribs when we ordered a full rack. Bar tender gave us a free beer for the miss. Nice better than a 10% discount on the food which has been my experience at other pool halls in ktown.

Absolutely delicious food, amazing and quick service. Ambiance is very relaxing and elegant without losing the welcoming feeling.

The sunday special prime rib was a great value, and incredible.
The pasta dish (canadian) was wonderful and demonstrated the attention to detail across the menu.

If I could give a higher rating I would.

Absolutely impressed.

Late night party bar and they serve dinner as well. It's pretty good. They also have pool tables upstairs for the pool sharks.

The whole place is a club atmosphere. Takes forever to get a drink and music is too loud to hear anyone. But if that's what you're looking for it's a great place.

Just wanted to give a shout out to the Grizzly Grill for supporting my efforts to surprise a family member with some much needed respite from the kitchen. With living 4 hours away it s difficult to show support in a tangible way. I sent an email requesting a delivery of a gift card and to attach a note. Thank you for responding to my email request and promptly getting out my surprise she loved it and sent me this pic!

Great if you are a grizzly bear, which I am... No pancakes or waffles though, but grizzlies don't eat that stuff

Upon arriving we had asked for a booth and the hostess said she could put us in the den. Knowing nothing different we agreed, but after seeing how dressed up we were I would assume she would know we wouldnt wsnt to sit in the bar area with pool tables and casual wear. The food wasnt horrible and our server was very nice, but my boyfriend ordered a medium-well piece of prime rib and when we received our meals it was still very much pink in the middle. When they returned his plate we felt that it was a completely different plate because he was missing the coleslaw he had ordered and had to different kinds of potatoes on his plate. My rib-eye steak was very fatty for the price I paid for my meal and my Brussels sprout skillet was cold and made differently from what was explained in the menu.

Good looking girls... And a dance floor. What more could you wish for.

Great place to dance. 2 floors. Coat check. Pool tables (3-4)? Washrooms upstairs and down. Food menu items. Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner. Drinks $$-$$$.

Lovely local restaurant that serves fantastic food! Went in for a team lunch while in Kingston for a soccer tournament and the service was wonderful.

A great evening with @Kingstonford and @hallsy09 getting ready for the Taylor Hall Ball Hockey Tournament in support of the @bgckingsonon.

It's 1 in the morning. You have a large group of people looking for the next place to go. Some people want to dance, others just want to have a beer, and nobody wants to pay cover. You want the Grizzly Grill. Sure, you're taking a risk on the DJ playing his own Eminem/Blink 182 mixes, and you're not getting the coolest new local microbrewed beer, but you only need an ID to get in the door, and chances are everyone will have a great time.

Free pool Monday's is great, but the secret is out. When I was there, the bar was so slow for service. It wasn't the bartender's fault, she was working it but the bar stayed full all night.

Great place to eat. Every thing is Good, great service.

The place is nice and love the food, however the DJ they have is horrible. Pool tables upstairs which is a nice break from the dancing.

Nice ambiance and great food. Always glad to visit the Grizzly Grill.

Some friends and I had a very interesting experience here. I will preface this by saying our entire meal was eventually covered by the restaurant which was very much appreciated, and in my mind the right thing to do.

We're in town for a company hockey tournament and just finished playing 3 games, and are hungry. We had called about 3 hours ahead to make a reservation for 14 people which they confirmed would not be a problem. We get there in the evening and get seated and order some drinks, appetizers, and our meals. The drinks come as do the appetizers and a second round of drinks. About 2.5-hours later, there was still no main course and it's about 10:30pm now. A manager comes over to apologize for the long wait and offers to send some free snacks to hold us over. At this point a few of my friends couldn't stick around any longer, so they left. The rest of us stayed. We complained about the fact that there was very little communication about the delay, which was caused by a 'party of 80 people' on the top floor and their kitchen not being able to handle the capacity. They did eventually bring out the food albeit extremely delayed, and they took care of the entire bill for us. It was a pretty good burger, and the atmosphere was nice but waiting 2.5 hours for a burger isn't the best idea of dining in my mind. I really wish they had communicated this before hand, either when I made the reservation or when we placed our orders. Perhaps in the future they would either close the restaurant down for the private event, or bring in additional kitchen staff or something.

Nice ambience. Service can get better. Overall nice place, good music. Like it.

Overall mediocre.

Customer service is "meh"
Food is "meh!"

Decent value for tams, though

Great place! I love bread with maple butter there, also everything you order there is very delicious starting from steak to the pastas and pizzas. Also party platter with spinach deep is pretty nice. It was my first time trying there beet fries...delicious and healthy!

Pricey, but the quality of the food is amazing. Good service and a very comfortable environment. Good selection of beers and drinks.

Great place for private events. The staff were wonderful.

Unbelievable food. My partner and I went for a date night, the poutine as a starter was amazing, my duck pizza was the best pizza I've ever had, my boyfriend said the ribs were the best he's ever had, and dessert was just incredible! Cute atmosphere, and excellent service!

*Great food and ambiance*
Pros:
Staff was friendly.
Food was great - steak cooked to temp.
Love the open kitchen atmosphere
Was able to get seating quickly.
Right downtown

Cons:
None?

Myself and a party of five had a reservation for tonight and the manager Jamaal went out of his way to ensure that we had the most amazing night possible. I can t thank him enough for his incredible service. The Grizzly is lucky to have chosen such an incredible manager.
The food (spin dip and poutine) was SO GOOD! Best spin dip I ve had in Kingston, hands down, and the poutine was amazing as well.
I ve never had a manger go so out of their way to ensure an amazing time, but tonight we got it.
Tai, our server was also incredible! Both Jamaal and Tai have provided the best service we could have asked for. We will for sure be back!

Food is good.. A bit hectic but great Canadian comfort food.

Grat atmosphere to sit and have a beer with friends

Good food. Disappointed there was no WiFi available. Especially when traveling out of town.

Solid selection of brews and the wood fired pizza was great!

Slow service, pasta tasted like it was cooked yesterday.

Good food, very fresh and in reasonable quantities prepared on site. Warm atmosphere and reasonable price. Friendly staff.

Went there recently for lunch with a friend on a visit to Kingston. The place was not busy at all. We started with the spinach dip, which I found delicious. I had the chicken bacon club, while my friend had the beet salad with garlic shrimp. We had a couple of the craft beers and then one of their sangrias. All were delicious, and our waiter, Anthony, was delightful and very helpful in navigating the menu.

Awful service from the start... Highly recommend anywhere else.

Good service. Expensive for the quality of the food.

I was only in the upstairs portion, but I really enjoyed my time there. The pool tables are well kept and clean, however you did have to fight for a triangle for racking the balls (seemed like only one around for multiple tables). The spinach dip was delicious, and the staff was very friendly. Someone in my party had too much to drink, and the staff handled it great. They were polite and asked him to leave after finishing his game of pool. I agreed he needed to leave and thought the way he was asked was very professional and reasonable. I appreciate that the staff take the responsibility of removing people who have had too much to drink.

Good food but really expensive 50$ for 2 shrimp pastas and 2 soft drinks didn't even get any alcohol

I'm actually very disappointed in the grizzly grill. The server never once came to the table and asked how it is, and it's a buffet style now, and everything is so hard and old, my cookie, and cinnamon bun as inedible. This place was once sooo good now it's embarrassing to even eat here

There are SOO many good restaurants in Kingston that there is no reason to go to the Grizzly Grill. Yes it ha the name and the history, but the food and service is crap and overpriced for what you pay. Likewise to the comment below, if you want a good steak, the Keg in Kingston is beautiful

Was here for a private party. The management was fabulous in getting all the food out on time. Pricing is high for both drinks and food. I was surprised but then we don't go downtown Kingston often on Saturday nights.

Had a great ribeye steak, the brussel sprouts are amazing! Great local beers and a nice ambiance!

had the deep friend cheese cake years ago, it's been a while since I've been back but whatever they make, its delicious!

One of the better steaks ive tried! great restaurant with a good ambiance.. would recommend for sure

This was an excellent place for a special meal. Service was prompt and pleasant, and the server made sure that our needs were met. Top notch!

Absolutely amazing. Great service, great food. The roasted cauliflower is pretty awful, but overall great experience.

Food was anything but mediocre.. ordered the prime rib. Veggies were hard ,potatoes were cold, prime rib was dry.. service was dreadfully slow and we had a reservation.. literally dont even know what our waitress looked like as we never saw her. Wont return for sure

I have been going to the Grizzly grill since I was knee high.

For the longest time they were one of the biggest must dine restaurants in the area but in recent years the edge on their blade has dulled.

At dinner time the Grizzly plays their best game, the menu is fresh and plentiful with gems like their duck pizza and prime rib, as well as their more casual dishes like fish and chips.

Appetizers are another strong arm the Grizzly has, the calamari is my personal favourite aside from spinach dip. The beet frites are quite popular if you like beets.

Where the Grizzly loses their bite is during their weekend brunch. The selection is minimal for the 18.00 that brunch costs. The buffet is missing a more plentiful salad and dessert selection and completely ignores certain brunch classics such as waffles and French toast.

Drinks are a big wallet eater with beer costing between 7-9 per pint and spirits being 7 at the least for cheaper spirits.

If you are looking to grab a drink here go on Monday for cheap pints ($5) and free pool.

If your looking for a romantic dinner date with you and your other half come here

Great food
Pleasant service forms a unity with food of the highest quality.
Here we have eaten best on our tour of Eastern Canada.
Absolute recommendation!

Been here a few times back in the day and always loved it. Came back here after getting fitted for suits for my buddies wedding. Crushed a bunch of drinks and of course left 5 pairs of brand new dress socks in a bag upstairs by the pool tables. Had an awesome server named Patrick. Went back in the next morning and Patrick remembered me...had the bag in the office. Thanks so much guys. Great service. Great place.

Awesome place to eat and service very good. Especially like their lunches.

The food is so delicious! Drinks are great, all is a little pricey but treat yourself, you deserve it!

Slow service, food came out very late and was no longer hot. Average meal.

Love this place, very impressed with the food every time. Delicious and creative, plus they support local business. A go-to place for a meal that's sure to satisfy a true foodie.
I have tried and would highly recommend the brie calzone, smoked duck pizza, beet salad, and the grizzly caesar.

Bit pricey. But good food and locally sourced. Great beer b selection.

Very nice ambience, and service. Thank you! Excellent pool tables too.

Best place to dance on a weekend for the over 25 crowd! Living up those throwback tunes.

The place is nice, but the hourly rate to play pool upstairs was way to high.

Amazing local food, and great atmosphere! Excellent for dining, or going for drinks and playing pool. Very versatile space.

Good place for drinks and grab a bite. The food menu is limited though. Location is nice, waitresses are very friendly.

A Kingston mainstay and must-see. Better in the summer when the University crowd is away.

Excellent food and despite their kitchen being one man down, they ran it like a well oiled machine! The staff really care a out their customers and that's refreshing. Try the beet bruschetta!

Sat for 20 minutes, No service, Waiter passed by several times to serve new people before us. Don t recommend

Always a great place for a few games of pool and dinner. Kitchen delivered a half rack of ribs when we ordered a full rack. Bar tender gave us a free beer for the miss. Nice better than a 10% discount on the food which has been my experience at other pool halls in ktown.

Great food but bring lots of money .
