My experience was split... The wings are awesome! The cajun rub and the spicy BBQ were delicious. My friend ordered a NY Strip steak that was very underwhelming. The beer is well priced and the 24oz option was appreciated as I didn't need to order a second beer. Service was acceptable but nothing stellar. I would come again for the wings and beer ... That's it
Review Source:What a great surprise! Â We were in the middle of the road trip from hell and were staying at the local Hampton Inn (awesome hotel, by the way). They recommended The Grill
Lucky for us, it was Redneck Night (really??). Yes, we were a little nervous but hunger won out. We were seated immediately and given the menu. If you're looking for a nice glass of wine, well, let's face it, you're not going to Redneck Night anywhere. The vodka tonic was great and my husband enjoyed his beer.
Dinner was awesome! Â My husband had an incredible pasta dish and I had the meatball sub. What an awesome meal! Â The food was tasty and plentiful. The service was friendly and spot-on. We would go here again and again!
The kids loved dessert and had I not been so full, I would have ordered my own (two pages of dessert options!).
If you're staying at the Hampton Inn, let them know and you'll get 10% off your meal. Not that it's really needed - The Grill is a great value for the obscene amount of food they serve!
Wings: They're delicious here. The rest of the food, eh.
Beer: Domestic drafts are cheap: $4 for a 24 oz. Beautiful.
Scene: Local. And it depends on the night. Weekend nights might be jukebox, might be DJ, might be a band.
The verdict: come for a game or for wing night. If you're here on the weekend at night, it's a good spot to have a few beers and hang out with the locals.
the good:
free wifi
i tried the wings based on other yelpers' reviews. they were super heavy on saucing up the wings. Â i wouldve preferred the sauce on the side if i knew they were smothered and covered like waffle house. Â the wings were nice and big, however and i'm not complaining about the sauce (the parm peppercorn were tasty), but there was just too much.
locals were in comparing their hunting scores. Â one dude bagged a bobcat. Â why, i dont know. Â do you eat that? Â or do you just shoot random stuff 'cause you're carrying a rifle?
i sat at the bar and the server was nice and all. Â they apparently have big assed beers for MNF and a lot of tvs showing the same thing. Â tv. Â I wanted hockey. Â no versus. :-(
i'd go elsewhere next time or order takeout and sauce on the side
This place deserves all the credit for going the extra mile and putting in the effort. Â They have a big menu filled with creative options and logos of area sports teams. Â The place itself is decorated like a Ground Round, walls filled with sports memorabilia. Â Interesting side note, the Grill sports the only clean bathroom (meaning you wont vomit upon entering it ) in ALL of Matamoras, that alone makes it worth the stop. Â Our drinks came fast from our very sweet and thoroughly professional waitress. Next up, the wings. And with the option of being able to mix n match flavors, you're never left wondering what a peppercorn parmesan wing tastes like. Â We had the medium and they were great. Next up dinner. We had the turkey burger and tacos. Dinner itself was underwhelming and not what made this place fun. It was the waitstaff and the wings and the clean head. When your done with dinner walk across the street and load up on explosives at the fireworks store, but only if your not from PA.
Review Source:It's worth the stop. Â Their wings are very good: juicy chicken, crisp on the outside, and quality sauces. Â Between the 8 of us, we tried a few of their burgers, a gyro, and a salad. Â Everything looked good, and we were extremely happy to have found a great bite to eat in what seemed like the middle of nowhere to us.
Review Source:New Yorkers -- or those residents of Gotham who see their purlieu as the center of the universe - are so often accused of viewing those vast tracts of land west of the Hudson River as that area Lewis & Clark went exploring one day merely in search of more America. It is well-known, that cartographic demarcation at High Point State Park - New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania. It is as much a physical divide as it is a cultural one.
But if you're westbound on I-84, having just passed Port Jervis, crossing the Delaware River into Pennsylvania, you'll immediately find yourself within the limits of Matamoras, Pennsylvania - known to many New York State residents for its legal fireworks stores. And as I recently discovered from a good friend and local resident, illegal for Pennsylvania residents to enter. Â Let freedom ring.
However on the right about a quarter mile further north on Route 6/209, you'll come upon a terrific bar tavern called The Grill - a place that not only captures the essence of the all-American tavern "where everybody knows your name", but after a few beers and an order of The Grill's irresistable buffalo wings -- you'll be hard-pressed to find anyone sitting nearby who would appear "unfamiliar", because from the moment you sit down and one of the gracious waitstaff take your order, you'll begin to feel at home.
My friend's band was playing at The Grill one Saturday night, so I had been looking forward to walking in the front door; seeing their faces; doing my best John Wayne. I couldn't help but notice however the attention to detail that seemed to find its way into every facet of the décor of this pub you could fathom - unlike so many other local public houses: The Grill is part "Don the Beachcomber" tiki bar; part country music saloon; part local rock band venue. Along with superb acoustics and a sound system designed to balance the volume of the music with the size of the crowd while enhancing the quality of the sound -- after five or six mugs of Blue Moon, you'll have little trouble kicking back and relaxing to the rhythm of some great music.
But the wings...they are undoubtably the showstopper. My estimate is The Grill's wings are breaded, double-dipped in a thicker-than-average wing sauce, then grilled. Whatever the case may be, with every finger-lickin' morsel, I'm telling you The Grill is going to take your palate places it's never been before. They seem to have developed some sort of Jedi mind control all their own; you'll find yourself proselytizing their virtue to complete strangers everywhere -- from supermarket openings to connecting flights between cities -- for many years to come.
The milieu at The Grill is friendly and familiar with one another locally, and the ambience is by and large easygoing. The outdoor dining area after 10 pm becomes a standing room-only porch which, with the hanging multi-colored lanterns and tabletop umbrellas, makes it the only place you would want to be in Matamoras on a summer Saturday night.
If you are in the area and jonesing for a down-home, laid back good time, be sure to pay The Grill a visit. Â The food, beer, crowd and low prices are all well worth your night.
