Players Grill

This place is not only an over-priced dump they are rude, disrespectful and cheap. Their run-of-the-mill burger and dry salmon dunked in $2 BBQ sauce is a rip-off at best. AND, we went to send our family member to pick up a to-go order during our son's baseball game, they refused to give us napkins, silverware or ice for their warm drinks. When asked for ice they gave us a plastic soup container, not cups like most people drink from. Oh, and they only gave us one container of ice for three drinks. When we called to ask why we didn't have utensils or napkins they said they don't put them in unless requested. Well, we got our food at the baseball field at 8pm and there was no way to eat the food! How about asking the customer? Or, how about just including these essentials. Thank goodness for this sweet boy at the park that rode his bike home to get us napkins and forks to eat our food. So, disrespectful, cheap, rude and just plain stupid. They disgraced an insitution in the northshore. And, sadly to say I will never step foot in this dump.

With another adult, my 10-year old and I visited Player's Grill about one month ago. The staff was pleasant, I did not experience any negative interactions as other reviews have noted. However, it was not a great experience. We were looking for a local pub-type grill with burgers and appetizers. This is NOT that type of restaurant, though, it is not entirely clear what the theme should be. Like is it a swanky "players" overpriced club with linen table cloths, stiff chairs, quiet dining hall...? Or, is this a neighborhood haunt with paper napkins and pub-fare like mozzarella sticks and jalapeno poppers? All are true. The pricing is illogical; for example, a Cobb Salad is $18, but the Beef Tenderloin is $33. A basic sandwich will run you around $20, which doesn't strike me as a typical bar/grill. There were really no "standard" sit-down reasonably priced options (e.g., $10-15 burger). The menu is all-over the place with apps like popcorn shrimp and wings, sides like sautéed spinach and steamed carrots, and entrees like Ribs, Eggplant Parmesan, and Jambalaya. We ordered the potato skins app, which were not good overcooked/stale potatoes. Both adults had sandwiches (grilled chicken and bacon cheeseburger), which were good but not incredible or worth $20. The child had the mac n' cheese and liked it. The environment and menu offerings combined miss the mark for me. The menu and restaurant could benefit from focus-- pick a theme Italian (e.g., chick parmesan and Italian susage), Grill (e.g., steaks and ribs), Pub (apps and burgers) and pare down to put energy into the quality of what's available.

Great place, better with new owners. Old one was very rude. The same menu, better food. They have Steak sandwich, The Max, delicious, with higher quality of meat. They serve it with Beef Tenderloin , just melts in your mouth. Had a chance to talk to new owner, took it over week before covid. Unbelievable they stay open, just can't imagine how hard was it for them. The nicest people , caring about customers. Real heroes for me. Not easy to keep restaurant open this days. Highly recommend.

Delicious food and friendly atmosphere. New owners are great. THE Best. All dinners with two sides and huge portions, can't find this around here. Highly recommend. It will be my regular dinner place.
