Mike Dianna's Grill Room

My wife and I went for their Easter Sunday Brunch. I had made a reservation before they had opened for the season with Meghann, who it turns out is the owner. She was very friendly via email and came by to say hello when we were at our table. Our server was very attentive and timely. They had some special items for Easter, and a regular breakfast and brunch menu as well. We both ordered a Bloody Mary, with the bacon garnish. It really was just a slice of bacon stuck into the drink. Not sure it was worth the extra $2.My wife got the spicy chicken biscuit with a side of fruit. I had the Corolla Breakfast. 2 eggs, sausage patty, 3 bacon, a biscuit and home fries. All was very tasty! We particularly loved the home fries! For dessert, we shared a slice of key lime pie! Sorry we don't have more pictures to share. I very much recommend this place for a lovely meal!

I wish Yelp had a 1/2 star option, as I would've given the Grill Room 3-1/2. We had a private table in a corner, which was nice. The service was okay and the food was decent, but not as good as we anticipated. Two of us ordered the tenderloin, and both were cooked beyond the requested temp (medium rare and medium). Also, the quality of the cut wasn't the best. We were a little disappointed. I will say the drinks and pickled appetizer were very good.

Visited with my family of 10, we were sat right away but it was a busy night so service was a little delayed. The food was surprisingly good and all came out fresh and warm. The food was a little pricey but overall great family establishment. For the vibe, it was a little odd that our table was lined with crab paper when there are no crabs on the menu. Tomato pie and green onion dip were a pass. The rest of the food ordered was great. Seafood pasta was a huge hit along with the steak.

We decided to check them out after reading great reviews and I'm glad we did. The restaurant was pretty busy but we were able to be seated right away since it was only 2 of us. It's a nice sized restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Our server was very friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable of the menu. She had all the tables in our area, but made sure our drinks were refreshed and our food was fresh and hot. The food was delicious and the drinks just right. If you find yourself in Corolla, find your way to this place, located at the back of the Timbuck II shopping plaza.

We went as a family of 21! They were able to accommodate us at one long table. Make a reservation! The staff was very friendly and made a lot of good recommendations. We enjoyed our meal!

We took a party of 12 to Mike Dianna's on July 5, 2024. Availability was the deciding factor.The atmosphere was one of palpable rush to turn tables. Our server was insensitive to the state of the table and interrupted and rushed entree orders.One of the orders was "lost", leaving my spouse without a plate. They apologized profusely and comped her meal, but it still took way longer than it should have to get a medium-rare strip steak replaced.The drinks were "meh". The GR Smash was bereft of bourbon and only hinted at the fruit flavoring. Warm bread was excellent, but olive oil/salt/pepper arrived way after the bread. The entrees were mostly pleasing, although it's unsatisfactory, at this price point, to have "steak with mashed potatoes and green beans" or "steak with rice and summer vegetables". No other choices, no separate sides, no family style - and that's $59 for that 12 oz New York Strip, friend.When the best thing you can say is "they had space for 12", then it's time to plan better and reserve earlier for next time.

My husband and I have been looking forward to eating here for the past several years but always were told how busy they were and you needed a reservation. We went there for lunch and walked right in without issue and sat immediately. The table was nasty and sticky. I ordered a bowl of She crab soup it was more like a cup of soup. The "bowl" wasn't even a half an inch deep. The soup was average nothing to be thrilled about and definitely not worth the $14 price tag. I should have gotten the $11 cup it would have been the same amount. I ordered a poolside drink and it was blue which in the ingredients it never said it had curaçao. It was sooo overly sweet it made me ill. It was like a bad truck stop dinner. Don't bother.

Food was meh... not really worth $26 for a mediocre crab cake. Filet steak kabobs $19, wasn't great chewy filet, dry. Also got a wedge salad with chicken, which was very chewy. Service was pretty good. Live music out on the patio.

Top notch through and through and the perfect way to spend our last night of dinner in OBX after doing the Jeep beach tour. Everyone was very accommodating, especially being that we arrived 30 minutes prior to closing. That seriously tells you a lot. Inside was very clean and slightly above casual. We were dressed pretty causal being that we just came from a beach tour. We didn't completely stand out. Hahaha.I started with the seafood chowder and the table began with the beef skewers and the tomato pie. Chowder was excellent and fresh. Beef sticks were extremely tender. My son was very worried being they he just got braces, but the meat was very good quality. The tomato pie was very interesting. It was tomatoes with mozzarella but baked in a pie form. Very different and very good. For dinner, I got the seafood pasta and my son got the grilled chicken with mashed potatoes. Seafood pasta was amazing. Came with crab claws, little clams and fresh fish with fusilli in a cream sauce. Absolutely delicious. My son's grilled chicken was very tender and cooked to his likings. Unfortunately, no room for dessert. Bottom line, it's a must try!

Spent a week here in Corolla and this was by far the best restaurant we went to! Dinner was absolutely amazing- we had the basket of fries and the soups- highly recommend! And you can't leave without trying the keylime pie- phenomenal! Our waiter, Matt was great- he recommended a few things and was right about everything. We will definitely return if ever in the area- this is a must stop!
