What Corey B doesn't like about Players Grill:
My wife and I have been ordering from Players once a month since 2017. I always order a full slab of ribs. However, on my last two orders, the ribs were severely overcooked. This was disappointing given the price we pay. Since it happened twice, we suspect something may have changed at the restaurant, so we have decided to take a break from ordering from them for now. View all feedback. What Albert Deckow likes about Players Grill:
Great place, better with new owners. The old man was very rude. The same menu, better food. You have Steak Sandwich, The Max, delicious, with higher quality meat. They serve him with Beef Tenderloin, just melt in the mouth. Had a chance to talk to new owner, it took over the week before the Kovid. Unbelievable that they remain open cannot imagine how hard it was for them. The nicest people who care about customers. R... View all feedback.

Lovely restaurant. I used to live and work in the area, we would always come here for a nice dinner.

Players Restaurant has received some mixed reviews recently. One customer had a negative experience with the owner when trying to secure a table for his wife in a wheelchair, which resulted in embarrassment and anger. Another long-time customer was disappointed with the overcooked ribs on their last two orders. However, new owners Julie and Peter have been praised for their delicious food, diverse menu, and exceptional service. The restaurant has also been lauded for its fantastic drinks, onion strings, and easy parking availability. It is a popular spot for lunch and dinner, with a variety of menu options that cater to different tastes. Despite some negative feedback, Players Restaurant has garnered a loyal following for its great food, friendly staff, and lively atmosphere.
