Brendalay Grill

I have stopped by this place a few times, but the parking has always been full so I'd drive away. Finally, after multiple tries, the parking lot had plenty of space. The staff is super friendly from the moment I stepped inside the door till the second I left. I was yearning for a burger, so I got the Phoenix and it tasted really good. The only issue was that it was cooked well done and I asked for medium. Not a huge deal. Also, got the Phoenix wings, which were nice and spicy. The only real negative thing I have is the tables were really close together and were very cafeteria style. The guy next to us kept snorting snot and swallowing so that was our cue to leave. If the tables were farther apart, I may not have heard him. Overall great experience and I'll be back to try more deliciousness!

My husband and I came here after my son's baseball game to get a quick bite which turned into a 2 hour long drawn out ordeal because of the terrible service. My 5 year old was falling asleep at the table after we waited an hour to get our food and another 45 to get our bill. Usually good wait staff can see it was clearly time to go home but no one noticed or came by to offer our check. The waitress was friendly when she did come but never apologized for taking so long. I don't think they even realize how long they take?The spinach dip was straight up gross. Tasted like sour cream with spinach and it was warm not hot. I like spinach dip to have a nice crispy top and a creamy inside with a good ratio of cheese, spinach, artichoke etc. this dip was gross, I couldn't finish it.My son and husband had burgers that were decent. Place was nice inside but we won't be coming back. Overall bad experience

Great place and recommend this restaurant. Not a loud environment so you can talk. Great food

Okay so first let me start by saying I failed miserably at taking photos of the restaurant or of our meal. DOH! The only photo I got was of the grizzlies game they were playing at the bar which I was so happy to be watching!! Now, for the food + experience...I came here with my sister and we both had the salmon - she had the salad and I had the salmon with 2 sides (rice and veggies). We both felt the salmon was perfect! Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and so much flavor. The rice was just fine alongside the salmon but on its own it was bland and pretty dry. The veggies were good but nothing to write home about. Now the bananas foster we had?! Oh snap. So so so so good. The caramelized waffle was SO freaking good. I'd go back just for that. Our waiter was so friendly and helpful but we never received refills and we were there for at least an hour so that was frustrating. We sat near the bar and the atmosphere was excellent and like I said we got to see the Grizzlies game which was fantastic and the perfect place for it. Also, I have to say the music that was playing was so complimentary to the overall aesthetic. Had a great time and would love to come back!

We have eaten at Brendalay Grill quite a few times, and have never left disappointed. The atmosphere is so laid back, & they have yard games on the patio. The service has always been great, and the food is full of flavor. We love it.

Rather large restaurant in small town Arlington. The restaurant has quite a bit of seating with two rooms inside and a large outdoor patio and a large bar area. My husband and I both got the special for the night which was a steak topped with crawfish Julie. I had the filet which had a really good spicy flavor due to the crawfish Julie. I loved the flavors, but the steak wasn't the most tender filet that I have ever had. The sweet potato fries were really good and the Mac n cheese was good, but definitely not worth the up charge as it tastes more like something you would make at home and not of the gourmet variety. My husband ordered the ribeye and he said that his steak had quite a bit of gristle. He really liked the sautéed mushrooms and said the Italian spinach was ok. The service was fine, nothing stellar, but nothing to complain about. She kept our drinks refilled which is a plus in our book. Overall the flavor of the crawfish Julie was excellent, but the cut of steaks could have been better. If you are in the Arlington area, you should give them a try.

One of our favorites! Highly recommend checking this place out. A huge variety of food on the menu

This is my 3rd or 4th time there. I like the location and I keep giving it a try but they never can get it right. The menu is all over the place and the food is subpar. The salads are just lettuce, croutons, and dressing. Nothing else. The wings are always cooked until hard and dry. The shrimp has always been overcooked and rubbery. I want to try more entree items but I'm afraid it will be a waste of money. The place looks nice but doesn't make any sense. The front of the restaurant looks like a displaced hotel lobby that's kept far from the action and the rest of the restaurant is just confusing. It's chopped up into odd sections that don't flow and are just weird. There's a great looking spiral staircase that leads up to some mess of a clothing store. If you're going to open a restaurant, just be a restaurant. The best thing though is the service. Although the kitchen in slooooow, the servers always do a great job. They're kind. They're smart. They try to make good suggestions. Our server last night was so good I almost forgot how bad the food was.

Made a reservation 2 weeks in advance for a special family celebration for a group of 15. Still waited 40 minutes to get seated, then another 20 minutes before we had our order taken. Was told the order would be fast tracked due to the delay in seating, but still had food served room temperature. Dissappointed.

Great food. Great Spicy Margarita Great atmosphere. We really enjoyed our meal. We will be back!
