Griff's Restaurant & Sport Lounge

I really enjoyed myself more than I thought I would!My first time was a great time! I did a Yelp search for pool and billiards nearby and this place was number one.I read a few reviews and thought it's worth a try. I arrived about 10pm and to my surprise judging by the parking lot it wasn't packed at all.A one man band, J. Harrell was rockin! He had a guitar and sung a variety of hits. He was great!The pool tables were wide open. We were able to play three games before somewhat of a crowd walked in. Overall, the crowd of about 20 was super chill... great vibes!There weren't any concerns and all seemed to be enjoying themselves. People even danced as the guitarist played and when he took a break, the restaurant played tunes through overhead speakers.My guest decided he wanted something small to eat and opted to try the wings suggested by our waitress and bar attendant, Brandy. She was attentive and super patient as we looked over the menu before we made a decision. As far as the wings, they offer several flavors with teriyaki being the latest.We tried the dry rub options lemon pepper and Caribbean jerk. My guest was able to choose two flavors from the 10 wings ordered. For every 5 wings ordered you can choose different flavors. Neato!Brandy continued to check on us throughout the night and everything was everything!I checked out the ladies restroom and it includes a sink and two stalls. Airy, tidy and I loved it! It wasn't a turn off at all.TV's are present inside. I think at least four maybe more. I noticed signs, they feature every NFL game. And on the tubes last night different shows were shown.Again our main reason for attending was to play pool. And for $1... bills or quarters you're able to play one game. Automatic machines are set up. Two pool tables with at least 8 sticks and chalk is nearby. There's one TV present by the pool tables. It's not super huge but it works. High top tables and chairs are in this area as well.This is a non smoking restaurant. I noticed people stepping outside to smoke. But definitely be aware of your surroundings outside. The parking is not well lit. Parking is located in the front, side and behind the restaurant. We had no parking issues and the low lighting didn't steer us away because you might assume the restaurant is close. But nope. It's low lit but worth ones time.Idk if we were lucky last night but the chill vibe and small crowd has us wanting to return again to experience another great time. Happy hour is featured Monday thru Friday from 3 to 7pm.I'd definitely recommend you give this place a try. Another location is about 10 mins away near the downtown area of the city.Have fun and enjoy life :)

A little slow at first with the service, but overall a great experience. I had chicken wings as an appetizer, fries and a BLT sandwich. The wings were fresh, hot and tasty. The fries were too salty, but good and the BLT was perfect. I will go back and ask for no salt on my fries for the next order.

I used to come here a lot in 2014 and 2015 until one of my favorite bartenders left and soon after that I relocated so this bar wasn't as close to me anymore. This place is very chill, the pool tables are my best friends and there are plenty of TVs in this spot for sports and TV shows. I went there last night and it was packed!I came in at about 10pm and the parking lot was full of cars so I knew it was gonna be crowed in there. The bar was a little full so I sat at the table waiting for a server to come but as I looked around I noticed there wasn't a server and the only person working was the bartender and boy was she hustling! A seat at the bar opened up so I sat at the bar instead to get her attention. It took a her a few moments to get to me because it was busy and she was doing her best to take care of everyone. When she got to me I ordered a Blue Motorcycle and asked to see a menu. When I used to come I would only order the fries because they are seasoned to perfection! I love their fries here. I ended up ordering fried calamari as an appetizer and the SouthWest Burger w/ fries as my meal. My drink came moments later and was nice and strong. Normally when I order an appetizer and meal the appetizer comes out first, but that wasn't the case. She brought my Burger out to me and apologized for the calarmari not being done yet. I'm guessing the cook was maybe backed up too and the burger was easier to make first? Idk. The burger was huge and fresh with melted cheese dripping from the side and spicy with jalapeños on it! The fries were nice and seasoned like they always are. VERY very good meal. Being that it was Wednesday there was Karaoke going on. Not many people were participating and I wanted to get the party started but didn't want to get out my seat and request a song. The karaoke host DJ Flick who has been there for years remembered me and automatically submitted a song on my behalf to perform lol. I thought that was funny. He called me up "Next to the mic is Dulla!" He signed me to do Kanye West's "Stronger" and I nailed that of course. I had a pretty good time last night. I'll be back again soon.

I liked griffs from the first time i walked in there. As soon as you enter they have a board which shows todays specials. As you walk in more they have 2 pool tables and there are alot of tables for the patrons. I always seem to order the BC burger which comes with there seasoned fries. My love for this meal needs not be explained. But kudos to the chef. They always have the latest liquors that a guy like me from ny always seem to come across and that many people from down there didnt know came out which is a major plus on part of them. They have kareoke on one of the nights during the week and also a live band.

So I usually love Griff's. I'm in the parking lot writing this now. Once for like 2 bucks more you could get all flats or drums. They sinced changed that.. Saying it's a mix. I suck it up because I love their wings. Opened my box to all drums. I don't even like them. I also posted a picture. There was sauce only on half the wings. I ordered the lemon citrus. Don't even have a taste. 12 bucks for nothing. We ordered there Tuesday the wings were perfect.

Go love on my ladies there. They are super sweet and make the best drinks there. TO ALL MY PICKLE LOVERS they have the hands down best fried pickles there

If I could give them a half a star I would for their service and their food I waited 45 minutes for chicken wings on a take out order I will never go back there again

This was my first time at Griff's Restaurant & Sports Lounge. Casual eating spot. You seat yourself. There are pool tables to the right when you come in, a bar straight ahead, a few tables and a few booths on the left of entry. Our server Nicole greeted us promptly and it didn't take me long to decide on one of the Friday night specials. Great prices. I ordered the fried flounder and shrimp basket with fries. My friend ordered the flounder dinner with two sides (green beans & California mix veggies). The vegetables were seasoned very well and the fries were fresh cut. The flounder was delicious... lightly breaded, moist inside and crispy on the outside. The shrimp was also lightly breaded and crispy. The first thing I noticed was the fried food was not greasy at all. I'll return to try other menu items. Great service and good food.

Just wanted to let you know we had a great experience with one of your bartenders Nicole. She's attentive and super helpful. We have been regulars for over five years, and always have great service and usually a great experience. The review is for the experience we had tonight with a "regular" patron of Griffs. If you happen to have cameras at your midtown location, I would hope you could sit down and review them. There was a regular in tonight, and apparently he consistently berates your staff members especially Nicole. Not only cussing at her and patrons, but using the P word to describe your staff among other sexist verbiage. Tonight he was loud, belittling, and overall degrading to your patrons. As a fellow restaurant owner, I would hate for you to lose good business over a person who's behaves in this manner on a consistent basis.

I ordered a meal from doordash and picked it up. I got the smothered chicken w mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. Also ordered the fried shrimp which was really good. However, the Mac and cheese is literally disgusting. It's literally just noodles w no cheese at all lol. The mashed potato's are okay. They could just use a bit more gravy. THE CHICKEN.. I don't think it's cooked all the way. It tastes wet and disgusting. Can't say I'd recommend this place to anyone because it's just not worth it.
