I went with some friends that had been here quite a few times previously. It was my first time. The egg rolls were exceptional as our starter. A round of Mojitos and the chicken pasta dish were delicious. Tony was a wonderful server. I look forward to more visits in the future.

The Monday special was a great date night deal. Two 3 course options for around $30 each and enough options for variety.

My Family and I visited Grillsmith and had the pleasure of being served by Jeremy. Jeremy was attentive and well versed on the menu and fantastic with recommendations. The food was incredible and was quick to arrive despite a full restaurant on a Tuesday evening. My kids rarely finish meals but both kiddos cleared their plates with no complaints (mom win!) My husband loves his steak (as do i) and hands down give this restaurant the best in lakeland n dare I say polk county? They blew every other steak place out of the water. We have our new favorite dinner date spot and cant wait to return!

First time at Grill Smith and it was a very pleasant experience! We had to wait over 30 minutes to get seated, but once we were in, we found out quickly that it was well with the wait! Kaitlyn was our Server and she did a phenomenal job! No complaints here; both service and food were excellent!

From start to finish, our visit to GrillSmith was outstanding. The highlight for me was the salmon—perfectly cooked, incredibly flaky, and bursting with flavor. Every bite was a testament to skillful preparation and fresh ingredients. The Mediterranean salad was another standout, with a bright, zesty lemon pepper dressing that complemented the dish beautifully. My wife ordered the steak, cooked to a flawless medium rare. It was tender, juicy, and full of rich, savory flavor. The shrimp we shared were plump and delicious, but believe it or not, the sautéed spinach may have stolen the show—perfectly seasoned, vibrant, and packed with flavor in every bite. Drinks were top-notch. I had a smoked Old Fashioned that was smooth, balanced, and perfectly crafted. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with just the right mix of energy and comfort to make for a memorable evening. GrillSmith nailed it on every front—flavor, service, and ambiance. Highly recommended!

Our first waitress was at the end of her shift and anyone could tell. The replacement waitress was amazing. The food was amazing. There is nothing really to complain about. Definitely want to come back and eat the amazing variety of options.

I took my wife there for her Veteran dinner on veterans day. She had been looking forward to going there for weeks. The weather was perfect. It was very busy but we got seating outside. The food was excellent. I am a steak man. But when we go out I usually try and get something my wife wants that she isn't ordering and she got the free steak for her veterans day meal. So I got tuna. That tuna was so good. So many flavors and textures. Needless to say she ate like half of it hahaha. The drinks and service also very prime. I've been to Grill smoth a few times before and if I want a really good dinner I don't have complaints on. Especially a steak. This is the spot. It's worth it.

A Great Valentine’s Day Find at GrillSmith We happened to find GrillSmith while passing through Lakeland on Valentine’s Day, and even without a reservation we were happy to grab two seats at the bar. Our server, Ryan, was fantastic — incredibly helpful with both the signature drinks and the food selections. Ryan made me an excellent Manhattan using real Italian vermouth and Filthy cherries. My wife had a chocolate martini that she loved. The ahi tuna appetizer was a generous portion, served over guacamole, which was a great surprise. For dinner, I went with the pork chop cooked medium‑rare+, and it was spot‑on. They were also offering a Valentine’s Day sea bass special, which my wife ordered. The portion was very generous and the quality was outstanding — I’d highly recommend this special if you ever visit when it’s available. We finished with their Bananas Foster dessert, featuring a warm banana‑caramel pour‑over sauce. It did not disappoint. Overall, the service was great, the ambiance was really nice, and the food was excellent. I would definitely dine at GrillSmith again the next time I’m passing through Lakeland.

We had a really enjoyable dining experience here. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a relaxed but polished vibe that made it perfect for a sit-down meal. The food overall was solid and thoughtfully prepared. The burgers were well-cooked, juicy, and served on soft, toasted buns. The sides were generous and flavorful — the mashed potatoes were creamy and comforting, and the green beans were well-seasoned with a nice balance of texture and flavor. Fries were crisp and hot, exactly how you want them. One standout was the appetizer presentation — beautifully plated and clearly made with care. You can tell the kitchen pays attention to detail, especially with flavor combinations and how the dishes are finished. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and everything came out in a timely manner. The menu offers a nice mix of familiar comfort food and slightly elevated options, making it easy for everyone to find something they’ll enjoy. Overall, this is a great spot for a casual dinner that still feels a bit special. We’d definitely return and recommend it to anyone looking for good food, a comfortable atmosphere, and reliable service.
