The Grill on the Square in Warrington

Another cracking meal Having had a really enjoyable visit with my parents last year we returned on a Sunday evening. Once again we thoroughly enjoyed our meals and received excellent service. I had a burger again which was cooked nicely and had great flavours. The bun was a bit dry though. I had it with truffle parmesan fries and they were great. My Mum had mixed grill hanging kebab. All really good quality meats. She swapped fries for a portion of garlic broccoli. My Dad opted for the roast again and that was also fantastic. Clean plates all round. Previous visit: Absolutely banging prime cheeseburger! One of the best tasting beef patties I've ever had. Thick and juicy with superb flavour. You won't find a better one in Warrington. Really high quality meat. The bun was nice and the sauce was tasty too but didn't need quite so much of it. I like a messy burger but it was slipping out of my hands. The triple cooked chips were fluffy and crispy and just about the right size portion considering I had the rib starter on the side too! They were delicious as well, nicely seasoned and the right amount of sauce on them. I was disappointed that the pulled pork burger addition wasn't available but I still thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The service was great too, really pleasant staff. My Dad enjoyed the roast and my Mum really liked the teriyaki fish kebab. Closer to a fine dining place but not overpriced for the quality of the food and service.

The food is always great, but the staff are what really make this place special

Wow wow wow this is an awesome suprise We were walk in watching out son play at Part Hall The service is that I would give a 5 star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 restaurant Wine well beyond its price food awesome Thank you

Amazing - Kelsey lovely looked after us all night? Great night. Bosh

Fantastic restaurant, highly recommend

This is a great restaurant. The only disappointing thing is the chair seating. It’s just not comfortable compared to other places where you pay a premium for food and service.

Great food and atmosphere. The staff are amazing 👏

Perfect location if you are visiting the Parr Hall. Very popular so I would advise booking in advance. Nice menu and good service. Nice outside seating (weather permitting).

Excellent food, great atmosphere, excellent service. All staff were very friendly and helpful and looked after us for the night.

Friendly service but the food wasn’t nice at all . I had the lobster ravioli and couldn’t eat most of it. The dish looked very unappetising and didn’t taste good at all . Very sloppy and pasta was tough . No one bothered to check if our food was ok. Was with 3 others who didnt enjoy their meals either . This used to be a lovely place to eat . Atmosphere felt different too maybe it has changed hands ?

Called in today for lunch after searching on Google as not from the area. The atmosphere and vibe is brilliant. All the staff were super attentive! Our waitress in particular was delightful, helpful and friendly. Very chatty and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious! We only ate from the lunch menu, but was that good we are going to make a 40minute journey to visit again for a Saturday evening and also a Sunday to try the Sunday lunch! We were so impressed with every aspect. What a find to stumble upon! Wagyu croquettes were superb! The price was a shock in a good way! For 4 cocktails, 2 starters and 2 mains it was £61. We couldn’t believe this considering the high standard and have paid much more in the past for extremely poor standards elsewhere in comparison! Thank you, we will be back!

Lovely everything but expensive! Well worth the experience if you don't mind forking out!

Everything was amazing We booked last minute & was very impressed with everything. From the moment we walked in, staff greeted us. Very friendly, good choice of food & 🍸 The food was superb. Think it's one of my favourite places now. Keep up the good work

Love this excellent restaurant.

The Irish waitress was absolutely lovely, the food failed massively made me feel sick pictures attached told the guy who sent it back gave me a gift card £20 it was £18.95 to begin with 😆 genuinely put me off going there for life now

Another absolutely superb visit to this exceptional venue, food is perfection on a plate, enthusiastic staff who will do anything to ensure your visit is memorable. Honestly can’t fault this place, our party of seven guests were very well looked after. Will we return ? Absolutely 100%

Food outstanding service really good and could not do enough for us a big thankyou for making our wedding anniversary one to remember..

Came here on Saturday evening. The food was delicious! I will definitely be back! The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was nice. I had a very good Margarita cocktail too 😀 The Sirloin Steak was amazing and the chips were amazing too as well as the side of mash! I couldn't fault any of it! I will definitely be going back ❤️

Went for the Sunday lunch and it was delicious. Will definitely be visiting again

I really love this place, the food is always delicious, it serves an amazing Sunday lunch, the fish and chips on Friday for £5 are beyond excellent value for money, the staff are always lovely and friendly, I also love the building itself, I can highly recommend.

Great place..very stylish. Fabulous cocktails.and great service. Will be returning to try the food..

Lovely staff on the bar and in the restaurant, always happy and helpful. The best Old Fashioned's ever n Warrington:)

Accommodated our large family party, very friendly staff. Food was excellent. A bit expensive but great for a special occasion.

Great staff. Had sides as a picky non meat or dairy eater, but rest of our large group enjoyed steaks.

Beautiful food 😋 can't wait to come back! Lovely atmosphere and staff.

Great food and fantastic service!

How this restaurant gets away charging the prices it does for the appalling quality of food it provides is beyond belief. I had the teriyaki fish kebab, which cost just under £19. When it arrived at the table, the waitress made a big deal of pouring the garlic butter over the single skewer kebab and chips. When I removed the items from the skewer I was appalled to find o there was only 3 or 4 pieces of dry tasteless fish and a few vegetables on it. At least the chips were nice. Last time we'll visit this place, terrible value for money.

Food excellent as usual, really hot which I like. Staff and service great. Always a good atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Fabulous Sunday sharing platter, the tastiest we've ever had and we've had a lot!

Wimbledon afternoon tea was delicious and excellent service from Michael.

Called in after watching John bishop at the parr hall I can honestly say we had an amazing time here fantastic customer service Anna was amazing so friendly and helpful a real asset to the business food was fantastic thank you chef I’m just sorry I don’t live nearer this would definitely be my go to place thank you everyone who works here 👍👍👏xx

Friendly, helpful staff and meals were ok. When we said one of the party had a garlic allergy, we were told everything in the Sunday lunch contained garlic! Noe of the three of us that had the sunday lunch could taste any garlic in the vegetables. Changed to a fish kebab and when asked for it to come without prawns, were told they come with prawns already on the skewer! Frozen? This dish had no taste at all and very disappointing. Sunday lunch was ok but belly pork could have doone with a little more cooking to give a crackling rather than fat. Beef very good. Have had better. Liked the decor and the people, who were freindly and did their best, but based on the food, will not be returning.

Went here today for our first time for lunch with our daughter, who works in the square & has been here a number of times , firstly its quite an impressive building, especially inside, the service and the food is excellent , would highly recommend this restaurant, we will have to come back for an evening meal

Brilliant class and food fantastic 👏

Completely underwhelming!! Seated at 7.45 no offer of drinks just menus. Getting to 8pm so decided to go the bar ourselves and order a drink. Menu pretty rubbish so went with Sunday dinner. Has to be one of the worst I've eaten, seen some pubs do better. Beef fatty, everything else luke warm at best. Pudding menu basically ice creams jazzed up. Wouldn't return!

It's one of my favourite restaurants 🙂

Went with a party of 7 for my sons 21st birthday..had an amazing night..food was stunning..looked after by Bianca,,she was great!!! Would definitely recommend..😁

What a lovely place! The food was delicious and the staff were wonderful. I would certainly come back and highly recommend

Staff so passionate,. Food excellent Abionce perfect

Came for en evening meal however ended up ordering the Sunday 4 meat roast for 2. The food arrived and looked lovely however unfortunately it was very cold. The Gravy was barely warm which was a tell tale sign this food had been left to go cold whilst it was finished. The staff were really helpful and apologetic offering bread whilst we waited however it's still extremely poor to not be able to serve up a warm Sunday roast on a Sunday.

Patronising and rude waiter repeatedly making the same uncomfortable jokes even after the hint was given.

Definitely recommend this place . Great food and professional but friendly service .

Don't miss the Friday fish and chips. Only £5.

Always a fantastic time for any of the multiple times I've visited here. The food is beautifully made and the staff are brilliant and friendly. The new additions to the menu are lovely too 👍🏻 making it harder to choose what I want to have next time I'm there!

Had a great meal with my friend. Friendly staff.

Just been here for a meal with my husband and the food was absolutely fantastic, as was the atmosphere and the service. Music was great too, especially if you like 70's and 80's music. We even got a free bottle of wine in the January offer and the early bird offer just £19.99. Will definitely be returning, would recommend this to anyone, though the tables were just a little too close together for comfort, otherwise perfect.

Terrible service and food. Used to be nice but has gone downhill.

Went for dinner as a couple, the food was amazing. The staff couldn’t do enough for us. Will definitely be going again. Well done to the new barman on doing me the best French martini I’ve ever had x

Great service and an excellent lunchtime menu. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food.

Fantastic Fish & Chips on good Friday for £5 just an extra £2 for curry sauce and bread. Defo go again. Food was excellent 👌

Wow, what beautiful food, great friendly staff and didn't wait long, definitely recommend booking a table, would definitely go again if lived near it. Defo recommend 👌

I was travelling for work in the North West. I had spent a lot of time researching the best hotel and restaurant combination, as I could have stayed anywhere on the M6 corridor. I went for Grill in the Square as it had an excellent menu and great reviews. I went to dine alone. I had a friendly welcome and got shown to the bar. I decided what to order and then waited for the barman to serve me. He was talking to the couple next to me for ages, so I didn't get served. Got shown the table, sat there for 10 mins without an offer of a drink or even water. Eventually, someone came over to ask if I was ready to order food, so I said I would like to order water and a drink first. When I placed my food order, I was advised that they didn't have my first choice of dish. I was OK with this, so I asked for a couple of minutes. Then I was left for another 10 minutes while they all brought out food for another party, so for the first time in my life, I left a restaurant because of service. I have worked in the food and drinks business for 17 years and have eaten out extensively. I have also eaten out solo many hundreds of times. Just because you are busy and I am solo, it doesn't mean that the basics of offering water should be missed. I have had such bad service as a solo customer. So I made my apologies and left, without drinking anything.

Great food! Really friendly efficient staff and quick service. Been here many times before and enjoyed every single time :)

Bit expensive but the food was very good and good service from the staff.

Always beautiful food and the service is top class with cocktails always amazing!

Called in for lunch ordered a fish finger and steak sandwich, i was asked any allergies i clearly stated Dairy and said again no butter on the fish finger, my food came and it was covered in butter, the waitress was shocked and said she told them, maybe kitchen staff need to go on training. I was given a refund sadly wont go back. PLEASE TAKE ALL ALLERGIES SERIOUS

Afternoon Tea was absolutely lovely 😍

Spent an evening on a work related trip. I was so glad I decided to try it. I had the set menu which was two courses and great value. The food was cooked perfectly. The service was personal and friendly. I recommend.

Delicious food, excellent service, lovely atmosphere, 10/10

Enjoyed a lovely lunch and drinks today ,food was delicious and very attentive staff Will definitely come again ,thank you .

My wife and I went here for our anniversary afternoon tea on 7 February 2024 and found everything to be superb.

Had a booking for a weekday evening, there was a kids birthday party but noone else. The atmosphere was great, service was professional and fast, and we got a bottle of the house's wine for free. Everything was nice, but the food. I had a babyrib which was made well, but the mac and cheese served with it was cold and tasted weird and maybe a bit old. The coleslaw was almost like cut cabbage in water. I might try this place again on a busier weekend to see if this was just an unlucky day for them as I've read so many great reviews.

We were recommended to try The Grill on the Square by a colleague who lives in Warrington, and we are so glad we did! Situated in a cosy and beautiful square, almost hidden from the city centre hustle and bustle, the grill on the square looks fantastic both inside and out. We were warmly greeted and offered some drinks whilst we perused the menus in the bar area. The server brought our drinks over and then took our food order. In no time at all we were shown to our table and to my surprise our starters were laid out waiting for us which was a lovely touch. We had ordered from the set menu, and both the starters, mains, and sides were absolutely delectable! Absolutely fantastic quality taste and presentation. The refreshingly attentive staff brought our meals out and asked if we wanted anything else during our meal and also brought over a complementary bottle of house wine, which was a fantastic surprise. I cannot fault the grill on the square and thoroughly recommend it. The waigu croquettes are phenomenal.

Fantastic evening, great ambience. Lovely food. Back soon

Got to say what a fantastic place. Food was excellent and staff were friendly. First visit and definitely not the last. Looking forward to fish and chips on a Friday afternoon next. First class.

Very nice, service was great, fish pie was a bit more mash than the husband would have liked otherwise we loved it, I liked that we were told about the optional service charge too and it wasn't hidden, we will be back.

Not crazy about the red lighting. I had a rib eye with garlic parsley butter and it was pretty tasty.

Brilliant evening meal, high standards, great food and the staff very attentive. I would definitely recommend. Oh and the onion rings and warm scotch egg were awsome !

Came here from a family recommendation for the lunch menu. Wow! This place is amazing. Service spot on, welcoming and cosy atmosphere and stunning restaurant in general. Food is out of this world and such good value. I had the haddock and chips. Absolutely delicious and can't wait to return again over the festive period

The food was the worst part of the experience, seafood was undercooked and the langustine oozed black stuff so was inedible. The hanging kebab was lacking in meat and seasoning. I was still hungry afterwards. The presentation on both plates was also very simple, no garnishes or side salads. The dessert was excellent though.

Gorgeous, just perfect, I had the Seafood Royal and the flavours were exceptionally good and my husband said the steak was really good too. The service was fabulous and will definitely be back, thank you xx

Fabulous service, fabulous food and amazing cocktails, what is there not to love?

Brillaint service. Fantastic food

Dimly lit, perfect for couples on date night! We had the set Menu of Wagyu Bolognese Croquettes followed by the Steak and Eggs. Both were exceptional. I will definitely return.

Wow ! I have to say that was truly delicious. I love cooking Sunday Lunch , but just fancied a break from cooking. That was so enjoyable, and the desert was beautiful. Roast chicken dinner, and the strawberry vanilla slice Lovely service too .

Been here often last few years and never disappointed,quality of the service and food is top! I ll back again as always

The food is excellent but not pretentious and the standards don’t fluctuate at all ( Iv been going for years) They also make an excellent old fashioned if you’re partial to such things. The place has never disappointed me which is rare considering as i can be a grump at the best of time and Im used to good food.

Great food and good customer service

Great lunch menu. Staff are always welcoming and food is always top notch!

I've been here a few times previously and always enjoyed their food. Came here on Tuesday as a big group of 25 people. We had pre-ordered our food to make it easier, and when we arrived there were multiple copies of everyone's names/orders which was very efficient. I had the beef starter which was really nice. Thin strips of battered beef with salad. For my main I had the cheeseburger which as always was really nice. Meaty juicy burger with plenty of cheese in a really nice bun. The thin fries that came with it were also really good. Considering how many people we had in our group the food all came out in good time and was hot. And the service through the whole meal was very good. Definitely recommend this place and I know we'll be back again.

Amazing as always. Fabulous food served with passionate people who make the you feel so special, wonderful evening spent in your stunning restaurant.

We opted for the 4 meat sharing roast and it was the best. You got lamb chicken beef and pork with all the trimmings. It was honestly the nicest roast dinner we’ve had can’t wait to go back already.

Looking at the other reviews this seems to be an outlier so possibly a bad meal as a one off or maybe we have overly high expectations. Staff - 10/10 Choice 10/10 Staters - ribs/buttermilk chicken. Both great The mains we were really disappointed - especially for the price tag. Rib eye - no flavour, broccoli with chilli and garlic, no chilli and garlic Seafood Royal - sea bass filet arrived broken up not as a fillet, scallops undercooked, squid greasy/partially battered. I shared the feedback with the manager who kindly took a drink off the menu - but I was surprised he stuck his fingers in the food to check it at the side of the table … also a hint if you take the food to the chef to show him -customers can see into the kitchen. Sorry £100 + bill not justified for us.

Just wow. Had an amazing meal here thus week. Staff are so attentive and knowledgeable and go above and about the food and drink and above and beyond. Planning our next visit now for our wedding anniversary

Great place and the food is sweet had steak in the past and recently a hanging kebab before going to see jimmy carr at the parr hall and the kebab was so tasty i could have had it again.

The brunch menu is immaculate, I can't wait to eat here again. The servers are wonderful and I think that the chefs are *chefs kiss*. Most of all, the pints were great as pictured. Lovely spacious garden area to enjoy a good pint or 8.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon with my friend and our mothers. On arrival we spoke to a young lady and gave her our reservation name and time and was told one minute. After being stood at the front for about 5 minutes the waiter who thinks he’s something special came over and said to YES to us in a mood, like we had just walked in and stood there without saying anything which wasn’t true as we had already spoken to the young lady. Once at the table, the young waitress asked if we would like water, we said yes but as our mothers are from the older generation, they asked for tap water but the waitress did not hear the request. When the bottled water arrived, my friends mum asked if it was tap, but the misunderstanding was all good, no issues we just said the bottles waters fine. But it wasn’t fine as the waitress must have told the rude arrogant waiter from earlier the situation with the water (even though there was no situation). It was then when the arrogant waiter came to take our food order, we realised the young waitress must of complained about the water situation to him as my mum said “oh I cant read the menu I’ve forgot my glasses” to which the waiter replied sarcastically “do you want the prices reading out?” Obviously, a dig because our mothers had questioned the table / tap water. Soo rude! I would have made a complaint then, but I was out with my mother for a nice meal and didn’t want to start so I just left it. At the end of the meal and after paying while walking out the sarcastic and arrogant waiter stopped us mid-way walking out the restaurant in front of all the other diners and accused me of not paying the full bill. I had to prove I had paid in full and in fact I even left a tip. No tip should of even been left as the customer service was disgusting but like I said our mothers are from the older generation and always tip. The waiter did try and resolve the situation by giving us a free shot but damaged had already been done.

My wife and I stumbled across Grill on the Square when heading for the train. What a fantastic find! Excellent food. Excellent selection of wines. Excellent service. We will be back again!!

The food is good, but the service is slow. One waiter was quite unpleasant.

Excellent... Took my 3 teenage lads here for lunch.. excellent.. the burgers are to die for.. highly recommend, will be back fot grown up food..

We booked a table for ‘fish Friday’ and we’re so glad we did - it was packed! Everyone was ordering the fish as it was delicious and such a good deal. Fabulous service as always from one of our favourite restaurants 😊

My first visit to The Grll on the Square for dinner on 23/08/23. Loved the ambiance of the dining area. Our meal was fabulous! Food was amazing! Waiter was friendly and efficient. We will be back very soon! It is now our No.1 place to dine.

Booked here blind really, not from Warrington. Thank goodness we did. One of the best meals out for a very long time. The staff and service were amazing. A lovely greeting as soon as you walked in. Staff were very attentive with a good sense of humour. Starters were steak tartare, which was gorgeous, and Tempura prawns and salt and pepper squid. Batter was light, and the prawns and squid lovely and soft. Mains were meat hanging kebab with garlic oil to pour over and half lobster, both really, really tasty. We will definitely be returning. Can't recommend highly enough.

Decided to try here as it's close to our new office location - and we were not disappointed! Plenty of variety on the lunch menu, food portions were great, reasonably priced, and most importantly, very tasty! Staff were also friendly and helpful. We've already made plans to return asap! Would be more than happy dining here prior to an event at Parr Hall too!

Food very nice ,but the fish Friday deal is 12 till 3 so again if your working full time you can't get this deal.very un fair deal for the full time working person , looks like all the deals are for the retired, part time workers or unemployed

One of the best tasting beef patties I've ever had. Thick and juicy with superb flavour. You won't find a better one in Warrington. Really high quality meat. The bun was nice and the sauce was tasty too but didn't need quite so much of it. I like a messy burger but it was slipping out of my hands. The triple cooked chips were fluffy and crispy and just about the right size portion considering I had the rib starter on the side too! They were delicious as well, nicely seasoned and the right amount of sauce on them. I was disappointed that the pulled pork burger addition wasn't available but I still thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The service was great too, really pleasant staff. My Dad enjoyed the roast and my Mum really liked the teriyaki fish kebab. Closer to a fine dining place but not overpriced for the quality of the food and service.

We went for Sunday lunch but roast potatoes and veg were hard my friend is older and I asked expecially for sort veg and potatoes

A gem of a restaurant in Warrington. Dinner tonight was so tasty - Kedgeree Scotch Egg and Fish n Chips. Chefs did a great job - food so tasty and beautifully presented. Service was also great and made us feel most welcome. Thanks to all who made it a great experience. Would highly recommend it to all. We will be back for sure!

Excellent food, passionate people with passionate service always aim to please. Looking after you all the way through your meal. Lovely menu, always have tall table in bar,.
