### 4/5 — Afternoon Delight

*2022-11-04, version 1.4.2*

Early dinner, Dunch… or Linner, was visually enhanced by the view of the costume clad customers still prepping for their candy runs as they still shopped at the nearby party store.meanwhile, dining al fresco with nicely seasoned grilled salmon was a tasty way to end the month of October.

### 4/5 — GrillSmith server - Countryside

*2022-08-30, version 1.4.2*

Either fix it or turn it off. I wasted 20 minutes trying to enter the code using the App on your server

### 4/5 — Grillsmith, Countryside

*2021-05-05, version 1.4.2*

Have been going there for years whether inside or out. The menu has somewhat changed (what happened to the drizzle of balsamic over the Chicken Gorgonzola flatbread?) and a few other little things. Not enough to stop us from returning but we did find the service lacking which is unusual and didn’t make our table happy. We will return to try again and please add the balsamic back to the menu.

### 5/5 — Birthday Dinner

*2020-09-18, version 1.4.2*

Talked with the manager and asked if they could get Hog Fish. Chef came out and told me they could. Explained that in a couple of days we had reservations would like to have Hog Fish. He say they would order it. Came in for my birthday and told the server that we wanted know what the Short Trip fish was. He didn’t mention the Hog Fish so we told him to go and ask about the Hog Fish. The chef came out to our table and said that he had it for us and then explained how it wasn’t suitable to be grilled and suggested the best way to prepare it. We went with his suggestion and it was awesome!  It was so nice to be able to talk with the employees and have them make my 72nd birthday extra special.

### 5/5 — Excellent Steaks

*2020-09-01, version 1.4.2*

As usual the steaks  were wonderful and our server was excellent. This restaurant chain is doing a great job despite the Covid situation.

### 5/5 — Great food, great service

*2020-01-12, version 1.4.2*

Went to the bar on a busy Saturday night. Kristen and Mark took great care of us. Explained the menu and specials while quickly preparing our cocktails. Brought out a complimentary appetizer while we waited for our entree. Everything was quick, hot and delicious! Ty to the manager Justin for the hospitality!!! We will be back again!

### 5/5 — Still Our Favorite!

*2020-01-04, version 1.4.2*

GrillSmith has been our “go to” restaurant since we moved to Tampa in 2012. Although they do need to bring back the grilled trout, in all other ways they are excellent!

### 1/5 — Crashing app

*2025-04-23, version 2.0.0*

No longer working. App support takes us to website which also fails with login

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-02-10, version 2.0.0*

This app no longer works

### 1/5 — The app is dead

*2024-11-15, version 2.0.0*

This app no longer works and should be removed from the app store.

### 1/5 — App won’t load

*2024-03-16, version 2.0.0*

I love GrillSmith but their new app never works for me. Over the last 6 months I’ve probably installed and uninstalled it at least 10 times. Just when I think it might work, it doesn’t. I used to be part of their loyalty program but since I can never get the app to work, I can never scan my receipts to earn loyalty points. Am I the only one? I’m using an iPhone 13.

### 1/5 — Won’t work

*2024-03-04, version 2.0.0*

I can’t get the app to work. It keeps saying "Something went wrong. Retry in a few minutes.” I uninstalled twice. Same result. The update didn’t remove the bugs. Great food, crappy app

### 1/5 — No working app

*2024-01-23, version 2.0.0*

As much as I would like to use this app I have tried for 2 days to load it my iPhone and it is a nonfunctional app!  I have a receipt I would like to add after I register but I can’t even get the app to open.  This latest update apparently didn’t fix the bugs!

### 1/5 — App shuts down when trying to order online

*2021-11-06, version 1.4.2*

This app has not been updated in 2 years and shuts down when I try to order. This happened a few months ago too. I reported it and it worked ok the next couple of times I used it. The restaurant itself gets 5 stars, but the app gets 1 star.

### 1/5 — Crashes and can’t get anyone to help

*2020-08-03, version 1.4.2*

I am a long time patron of grillsmiths and go almost every week . The app used to work on my iPhone iOS 13.5 now just crashes. Loads to my mini iPad with same iOS . I have not been able to contact developers to get it fixed. I’m very disappointed :(

### 1/5 — Not ready

*2015-09-15, version 1.1.1*

Needs more work. Got free appetizer but only had hours to use it. No explanation. Customer service email didn't work.

### 2/5 — Reward program

*2022-07-03, version 1.4.2*

As a single woman I do not understand why you only allow one check per table for reward points. We always have separate checks.
