G L Shacks Grill

We found this place on a U turn out of a shopping center. Best part of our experience was their HOME MADE CHIPS. so so so so so so fresh and perfectly seasoned. I was impressed. Altogether it is clean and we sat next to an elderly gentleman who had been going there for years. and we will return.

Referencing the 'bar', not the restaurant. Catonsville. If you like useless 'bar tenders' that are drunk and only 'see' regular customers and completely ignore new customers, this is the place for you ! ! !

So I ran across this restaurant just looking for something different. This restaurant has a setup for a restaurant, and then you have your bar side with the tvs. The people were very friendly and had a nice atmosphere. The food was good. I had a burger that was juicy and cooked well with a side of French fries. It was a nice place for me to stumble across. Stop by and check them out.

Went here before a comedy show and they did not disappoint. We ordered the Three Amigos Dip Tray and could not stop eating it. This tray had the right amount of Chips for the 3 dips and made you want more. My sister ordered the Buffalo Salad and I ordered the Rueben...yummmmmy. The buffalo chicken on the salad was tender and juicy with fresh lettuces and toppings. My Rueben was made to perfection. Tender with each bite, fries are the best I have ever had, salted lightly and crispy. We forgot we had margaritas to drink...lol. Our waitress stayed on top of things and we gave her a great tip. Will be going again when in the area.

G.L. Shacks Grill is an American restaurant and sports bar. They share a parking lot with a law office. When we entered, we were told that we could sit anywhere we'd like.For drinks, we had a Coca Cola and Arnold Palmer. The Arnold Palmer is made with unsweetened tea. The appetizer came quick but there was a long wait for the salad, sandwich, and burger. Our server Stephen gave us an appetizer without napkins, silverware, and plates. My boyfriend and I devoured the Mozzarella Moons, which consisted of crispy, herb crusted, and parmesan dusted mozzarella crescents served with a chunky tomato marinara dipping sauce. The rest of our food came 30 minutes later. They messed up my boyfriend's Classic Shack Burger with a few modifications. He asked to add bacon and remove tomato and cheese. The burger that he received consisted of chargrilled black angus beef patty, bacon, shredded lettuce and tomato on toasted brioche bun. He wanted the burger to be cooked to medium but it came dry and extremely well done. He asked for no tomatoes but he got it anyways. The tomato and bacon were overdone too. He asked for Old Bay kettle chips but received fries instead. I enjoyed The Reuben but not a fan of the Classic Caesar Salad. The Reuben consisted of Guinness brined corned beef, sauerkraut, thousand island dressing, and swiss cheese on a grilled toasted marble rye bread. The Classic Caesar Salad consisted of chopped romaine lettuce hearts and garlic croutons tossed in a creamy garlic parmesan Caesar dressing. It was way too garlicky.

I've driven by ths place for the last 3 years and finally decided to stop in.The Parking lot is behind the building. There is a small driveway up the hill/behind. Kind of tight but big enough for 30+ cars.They have an outdoor tent set up for persons who would rather dine outside. You go DOWN the stairs to enter the Grill. Once met there, there is a small hallway and the waitress led us to our table.The dining area was really clean. had the perfect ambiance of light and decor. We esp. loved the painings of Baltimore. Farther down the hallway were the bathrooms and at the end was a Bar. There is also an area at the front of the bar that looks like a porch- where ppl can go outside to. I'm assuming it's for people to smoke (this area can be seen while driving by)Came on a Friday night around 8PM. The bar was pretty full and lively. Dining area had silent TVs playing. Jamie, our waitress, was super nice!I had a Blackberry Sangria, which was good. Had a bit of fizz to it. I also had the Steak salad $14, with vinegrette on the side. Steak seemed to be medium well. A few times I couldn't chew thru the steak lol and almost had to spit it out because I was tired of chewing and afraid of swalling because I might choke. I wasn't completely hungry so it filled me up but I wouldn't get it if I came in starved.My niece had something like a Sheppards Pie. Came with a crisp side salad. Then the pie was delivered in a cast iron skilled on a plate warmer. It was hot! But she said it was really good and ate it all :)The kitchen staff were rather loud and we could hear every. single. cuss. word they were saying back there. We sat at the first table at the entrance from where you walked in. The dining room tables were pretty spacious. the bar area looked full with no social distancing. I would like to try the bar area on a warm day (post covid)

"Hit or Miss.This place has its ups and downs. When they're on, the food is great and the service is friendly. It's a good spot to catch a game with friends. However, I've had some unfortunate experiences with food poisoning on multiple occasions. It's a shame, because when it's good, it's really good."

The place is hidden, parking in the back of the building. I used the back entrance in the parking lot , no host. A waiter just told us to sit anywhere and she'd get to us. My social anxiety not knowing where to sit or who to ask for help lol but thats a me issue. The place overall is nice , they have a bar section with sports playing on the tvs , even the dining area has tvs playing. The waitress was really nice and gave my husband and I refills on time. She checked in multiple times and was in good spirits. We had the wings for appetizer and they were THE BEST wings we've ever had 100000000/10 . Will definitely go back just for the wings. I ordered the chicken sandwich and my husband ordered a bacon cheese burger which were both good. Chicken sandwich was a 8/10 and the burger was a 6/10 just a basic burger nothing to stand out. We will definitely go back again to try some other items on the menu. The price was good too. We paid 42$ for our meals & drinks.

The food was good. The service was excellent. The drinks were well done and it's just a fun place to hang out with friends.

so I've lived in Catonsville for many years. I have never been to this restaurant. So, a group of high school friends from the 70s gathered there for a BI monthly lunch. I was totally blown away as to just how good of a restaurant it is especially one with such a local flare and bar crowd. food was well presented and beautifully served by Kelsey. A great waitress though a group of 12 still gave Independent checks. My ham and turkey club was perfect. The french fries were great and the small was the best I've had in a local restaurant in many years the shrimp salad was marvelous and we had a wonderful time and will be coming back, I encourage anyone regardless of where they live to stop by and have a great lunch or dinner at this super restaurant
