The food overall was solid and thoughtfully prepared. The burgers were well-cooked, juicy, and served on soft, toasted buns. The sides were generous and flavorful — the mashed potatoes were creamy and comforting, and the green beans were well-seasoned with a nice balance of texture and flavor. Fries were crisp and hot, exactly how you want them.
One standout was the appetizer presentation — beautifully plated and clearly made with care. You can tell the kitchen pays attention to detail, especially with flavor combinations and how the dishes are finished.
Service was attentive without being overbearing, and everything came out in a timely manner. The menu offers a nice mix of familiar comfort food and slightly elevated options, making it easy for everyone to find something they’ll enjoy.
Overall, this is a great spot for a casual dinner that still feels a bit special. We’d definitely return and recommend it to anyone looking for good food, a comfortable atmosphere, and reliable service.
We happened to find GrillSmith while passing through Lakeland on Valentine’s Day, and even without a reservation we were happy to grab two seats at the bar. Our server, Ryan, was fantastic — incredibly helpful with both the signature drinks and the food selections.
Ryan made me an excellent Manhattan using real Italian vermouth and Filthy cherries. My wife had a chocolate martini that she loved. The ahi tuna appetizer was a generous portion, served over guacamole, which was a great surprise.
For dinner, I went with the pork chop cooked medium‑rare+, and it was spot‑on. They were also offering a Valentine’s Day sea bass special, which my wife ordered. The portion was very generous and the quality was outstanding — I’d highly recommend this special if you ever visit when it’s available.
We finished with their Bananas Foster dessert, featuring a warm banana‑caramel pour‑over sauce. It did not disappoint.
Overall, the service was great, the ambiance was really nice, and the food was excellent. I would definitely dine at GrillSmith again the next time I’m passing through Lakeland.
The food was excellent. I am a steak man. But when we go out I usually try and get something my wife wants that she isn’t ordering and she got the free steak for her veterans day meal. So I got tuna. That tuna was so good. So many flavors and textures. Needless to say she ate like half of it hahaha.
The drinks and service also very prime. I’ve been to Grill smoth a few times before and if I want a really good dinner I don’t have complaints on. Especially a steak. This is the spot. It’s worth it.
The replacement waitress was amazing.
The food was amazing.
There is nothing really to complain about.
Definitely want to come back and eat the amazing variety of options.
I saw someone say Grillsmith is like an elevated Applebees and I feel that that’s a pretty good description- but it’s still way, way better than that. It’s definitely like American-style food with some German inspirations but still unique in its own way.
Usually I enjoy any kind of seafood here, but the pasta options are good too. If you like pretzels try out the bavarian pretty appetizer, which is great for sharing.
Sometimes the service can be hit or miss here which would probably be my only complaint. Grillsmith can be a great place to come for a work lunch or just a fun dinner. You can just walk in but I’d check about a reservation as it can get pretty busy especially in the evenings.
It’s also in a great location at Lakeside Village so you can walk around before or after the meal to ship, get dessert or just hang out.
Tony was a wonderful server. I look forward to more visits in the future.
