Parxgrill Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    Decided to try our luck at Parx on Saturday night. After a nice run at the tables, we rolled into Parx Grill about 15 minutes after our reservation. Didn't make a difference. There were surprisingly many open tables for a Saturday night. The very attentive host quickly escorted us to a nice quiet table per our request. He advised that we'd be served this evening by a team of 3 (server, assistant and runner). Server arrived and listed a host of interesting specials. She seemed rushed but knew the dishes cold. We had to ask her to take drink orders. The flow was awkward. Cocktails and apps arrived at exactly the same time. Cocktails were fine. My shrimp cocktail app was presented beautifully. 3 rather large shrimp over a bed of ice. It's a shame the shrimp were overcooked and rubbery. My wife ordered the lobster bisque. It was generous in portion, well seasoned but clearly had been cooking much of the day. Mains also arrived too quickly for a restaurant 1/4 full. My ribeye was thin and overcooked. Not what you'd expect for a $40 cut. Server clearly understood and instantly refired another. My wife's salmon dish was prepared nicely. Perfect temp and garnished nicely. The shared side of au gratin potatoes was very tasty. My refired steak came out at perfect temp but again skinny. We opted to pass on dessert. At the end of the day, it was pricy for an OK meal. There was also confusion with the check (assistant dropped wrong check at our table). I suppose one should expect high prices and ok results at a casino restaurant but when comparing to marquis restaurants at other gaming venues, the grill has a hard time competing.

    After a long and stressful day, my wife and I made a last minute reservation last Friday evening. It was 9:50PM and their last spot was open (10:00PM). We made the reservation via Open Table while in route and arrived 5 minutes late. We were afraid that the staff would be irritated by the last minute addition but in fact the servers and host were fantastic. Very accommodating evening though we were one of only 2 tables occupied from 10:00-11:15 when we finished. Scott and John were our waiters It helped that we were aware we had come in last minute and didn't wait 30 minutes to order but none-the-less, the staff made sure to make us feel relaxed and welcome. We noticed some changes in the menu and the staffing. When we asked, it turned out that the management had made some changes and it became obvious that they have made a big difference. We both had a bowl of their fantastic Lobster Bisque (it had been snowing that evening so this really hit the spot). My wife had a few glasses Malbec while we enjoyed a perfectly cooked Rib-eye, potatoes au-gratin and a wonderful Caesar salad. We finished off the meal with a very nice, in house prepared cheesecake. To be honest, in the past we had been left feeling that the ParxGrill was a mixed bag. mediocre at best but their recent changes have really paid off. It will likely become our "go to" for a nice meal near home.

    Food is consistently delicious and not overpriced as you might expect being in a casino. Staff is very friendly and professional.

    Parxgrill has several qualities of a good steakhouse down but it is lacking the overall package. My husband and I recently visited for dinner having both won a voucher for $50 a piece in food. Since we were dining on a Sunday night, it was pretty easy to make an Opentable.com reservation. Upon checking in, we were immediately seated at a booth in the front of the restaurant. The dining room was large and bright, which is something I don't typically associate with a steakhouse. Our booth was very spacious and there was also a decent amount of space between the nearby booth and other tables. From our table we were able to see the casino and weren't isolated from the sounds either. In my personal opinion, I'd want some separation between the two. There's something about penny slots that I don't want to associate with my fine dining experience. The menu was everything one would expect of a steakhouse. There was a decent amount of variety of meats, seafood and fish entrees. The pricing was also what one would expect of a steakhouse and felt it was pretty in-line with other steakhouses within the market. They had Lobster Bisque as a soup offering so I immediately knew what my appetizer would be. I received a fairly large bowl of a rich, sherry based soup with many small pieces of lobster. The bowl cost $14 but I felt that the sizing and proportionality made it worth it. My husband ordered that caprese salad which was one of the most extensive caprese salads I've ever seen. In addition to mozzarella and tomato, it also included crostini and basil drizzled with a vinaigrette. For our entrees, I went with the Filet Oscar and my husband went with the 10 ounce filet. Both entrees came cooked perfectly to our liking, medium rare. The meat was juicy and tender, and clearly a decent cut of meat. My Filet Oscar also came with asparagus and cheddar au gratin potatoes. I asked for the hollandaise on the side since I had already started with a rich, cream based soup. Perhaps I shouldn't have had the hollandaise on the side, because I felt my steak was slightly lacking in seasoning and flavor. We've both had some really good steak in our lives and I could tell this was a quality piece of meat, however just not the best out there. One of the biggest things lacking in the evening was service. The staff just went through the motions and wasn't concerned with giving us an overall experience. They didn't even know we were using a gift card until we asked for the check, which made it a little more discouraging to think that's the standard treatment. We had several people taking care of us, none of whom even bothered to introduce themselves. I would have liked more personal experience and a little bit of a woo factor. It also took a very long time for our appetizers to come out. I understand fine dining, but it got to that uncomfortable point. Unless they were catching the lobster from the ocean and growing the tomato from a seed, the lag time was unacceptable. Overall, Parxgrill wasn't bad but I've had better (although not bad for a pretty much free dinner). Unless I'm getting another comped meal, there's a good chance I won't be back.

    The food was great .The place is in the Parx Casino and they are getting the staff together, but it looks like the place will be more fun once they have more entertainment come in to do shows. The decor in there is fabulous. They had a beautiful wall design and a fireplace thing that looked like you were in the lex Luther's dinning room from superman the food was perfect reasonably priced and cooked to perfection I had braised beef the meat was delicious so tender and juicy and my friend had the salmon everything was perfect and the price was so inexpensive I will defintley check it out again soon to see how things are after they have been open for a little while longer.

    The restaurant has a nice space separate from the casino. You don't have that smoky smell and the atmosphere is that of a nice restaurant. Another thing I like was they have appetizers of the day, one pasta, one otherwise. The one otherwise surrounds the reason for my lower score. When the servers gave the specials, (we had two servers which was confusing b/c they kept asking the same questions) I was told of a lovely sounding lamb lollipop/crab cake app. A minute later we were told they had sold out of it. So, we ordered other things. The prime rib and flat iron steaks were very good; I highly recommend the fresh-cut shoestring fries too. What bothered me was 15 minutes after we were told the appetizer was sold out, people around us started getting it. After I had to ask what was up, server #1 told me the chef decided to "make some more." This is where I have serious issues with the service. They were not "sold out:, the chef just didn't have some at that second. When their server found out how disappointed I was, she could have asked the chef and found out there was more to be made. If they want to hold themselves out as a high-end restaurant, these are the things they should be doing. Lastly, my wife and I skipped dessert; not a great selection. The food was very good, but you expect top notch service at a fine dining restaurant with high prices, and we just didn't get it.

    Been here 3 times and never had a bad meal. The atmosphere is gorgeous, the seating very comfortable with large private booths. It is a sculpted setting for dinner as an event rather than a rushed gorging, a place to relax and truly enjoy fine cuisine. The service is swift and friendly, the servers and hostesses highly professional and graceful. The menu selection is broad and offers so many good choices, it is hard to decide. Prices are a bit high but standard for fine dining, The menu was tweaked every time we went, however on the last visit, I found the portions were scaled down a bit. Drinks and wine service are lovely. We always got little "bites"as an additional appetizer gratis from the chef. The Prime Rib, at least the one time I had it was wonderful; the lamb is out of this world. The seafood is prepared perfectly and the a la carte vegetables allow large portions to share. All around the food is very creative and well presented and it is the elegant place to dine at the Parx casino, which is usually filled with trashy people overall.

    I gotta say when you first walk in the place is beautiful. The host is very friendly and greeted us immediately with a smile. My wife and I were the second people in there because we came straight from the casino as soon as the restaurant opened so we had no wait for a table. Here's where things went downhill. The menu was very pricey but by the looks of the place we just thought it was an upscale place. My wife got the seafood of the day (Sea Bass) and I grabbed a basic chicken parm. We waited almost 35 minutes for our food. Now being that nobody else was in the place they couldn't use the excuse of "they were busy". My wife is not a seafood person but she said her dish was pretty good. As far as my chicken parm I would say it was sub par. Beautiful place, good service but the prices & wait time for my dish did not equal out. Should've went to Chickies and Pete's.

    Parxgrill is a beautiful and classy restaurant with an amazing staff. We were seated immediately and greeted by our waitress who took our drink order and returned in a flash with our drinks. Our orders were then taken and we waited briefly for our appetizers, and then dinner. The service was fabulous (3 waitress plus ours continued to stop by our table to see if we needed anything: drink refills, extra bread, etc...) They were all wonderful. The food was delicious. Everything that we had ordered, was perfect. So, Kudos to the chef and his staff. The decor is very pretty and classy. We were also seated at a very large and spacious table so for our party of 5 - we all were so comfortable. FYI... it is a bit pricey, so just be prepared but the quality of food and service totally make up for this.

    My wife and I have been going to Parx Grill for over year now, and I think it's about time I give them their props! we love to just stop in for appetizers and drinks. Try to get there at least once a month for dinner. The service is fantastic, the wait staff all work as a team, so someone is always available if you need them. We consider it casual fine dining and it is the best in the area. From the appetizers to the salads to the entrées, everything that we have ever ordered has been phenomenal. We highly recommend to anyone just for drinks and appetizers or a full dinner. They usually have dinner specials we had one for $40 for a full course meal. Thank you to the bartenders the waitstaff and compliments to the chef!

    Located in Parx Casino, the service was beautiful just like the decor around the restaurant. I ordered the New York steak , it was marinated and cooked so nicely that the knife was cutting the steak like butter. It was the first time I finished the steak. The mash potato was like something bought from Walmart it tasted so sad. The gravy was very bland no taste. There fries looked like hay and evn tasted like hay. And oh yeah it took twenty minutes for the food to get ready. Overall the staff was friendly and the steaks were nice

    After making our "contribution" at Parx Yesterday, we tried Parxgrill. The casino's "higher" end restaurant. Surprisingly, the prices were not outrageous. This was the most overstaffed, lousy service we ever saw., I had a delicious iceberg wedge with ample toppings ($15) and a lump crab meat cocktail ($15) Very good but not much crab. Wife enjoyed her Chicken Marsala ($26). Does anyone know the 3-6 people are looking at on the hostess stands computer? they could have been playing games for all we know :) ... and the guy that delivered our food said absolutely NOTHING as I said thank you, he made every effort not to make eye contact.. Last time for us. Eating here we lost another $77 LOL FYI there may have been another 5 tables filled when we ordered.

    Parxgrill is a nice dining experience inside Parx Casino. My girlfriend and I stopped in for a meal while there to play recently and were happy with the experience at this restaurant. Getting seated was the most difficult part of the experience. The restaurant was less than half full, but it seemed like there was difficulty finding us seating for the evening. However, everything got better from there. The service is top notch. I couldn't tell you the name of our server, because the wait staff of about 5 people in our area all frequently stopped at our table to refill drinks and check on us. Dining here, we felt far from invisible as customers. For dinner, I had the crab stuffed flounder and my girlfriend had the lamb chops. Both dished were delicious and prepared to our liking. The lamb was ordered medium rare, and the restaurant "nailed" the order. If you're stopping in at Parx Casino and want a top tier meal, be sure to stop in Parxgrill. The venue is not clearly marked, but it's the restaurant at the middle of the property with the long video fireplace at the back of the building.

    I am rarely amazed when it comes to food, but here i was amazed. the decor, the service and food were spectacular. my lady ordered the ny strip which was good and i ordered the lamb osso bucco, which i cannot even describe how great it was. starters were short rib, best i ever had and the bruschetta on the best authentic bread. the drinks were strong too. the brocolli rabe was excellent and not bitter. the risotto was just right and the fresh pasta with alfredo was spectacular. this place is a hidden gem, imagine great food that does not involve a trip downtown or to south philly and the parking issues.

    food seemed good but nothing went right. eventually meal comped didn't eat it and left pissed off. no one seems to care here. they figure you are here to gamble and not eat but still want to charge you 45 bucks for a steak. such a shame. no point in returning to the casino if I can't have a nice dinner.

    Too many lower caste Philadelphians in evidence. Lowers the ambiance and class of the establishment. Food is good.

    I must say that they have taken it up a notch or two, both with their menu selections and the quality of the food! I started with a very delicious dirty martini, is there anything else? The escargot, burgundy style were cooked to perfection with shallots, garlic, butter, herbs and finished off with a good red wine, so yummy and I lapped up every drop of the sauce with the grilled crustini! The mushroom bisque was to die for, I haven't had such a wonderful mushroom bisque since dining at the Terrace Restaurant at Longwood Gardens! In fact, I will go so far as to say this was quite memorable and probably the best I will ever have. How they were able to chop those mushrooms into the size of a speck, I will never know. The bisque was so very flavorful and topped with crème fraiche, truffles and white truffle oil. Remarkable indeed! Listen to this! 14 ounces of broiled rare Australian lamb chops, that melted in my mouth with each bite. They were served as two triple cut chops and I was humming while I was gathering each tender morsel of these flavorful chops. The chops were huge, so meaty and not one bit of fat, so much better than the fingernail sized Colorado lamb chops, so much better that I did not even offer hubby a bite. Speaking of hubby, he did share in some of my escargot and mushroom bisque, surprisingly, as he will normally eat neither and really did enjoy both. Michael then had the wedge and I really appreciated how they served it, all was on one long rectangular plate, with the wedge in the center, red onions in one corner, diced ripe tomatoes in another, sliced boiled eggs, and a side of bleu cheese dressing, heavily loaded with bleu cheese crumbles. He also had an 18 ounce porterhouse, which he ordered rare and devoured it, saying that it was not the best he has ever had, but he enjoyed it. With our entrees you have a choice of baked potato, truffled mashed, stuffed baked potato, sea salted shoestring potatoes or sticky rice. I chose the frites and hubby had the loaded baked potato, both were very good. They also have plenty of premium sides that you can order. The atmosphere is relaxing, beautiful decor, the servers all work together and this time I left quite impressed. The prices were surprising low compared to other upscale steak houses. Once again, we had Joseph as our server, he's not as shy as he was in the beginning.

    Servers are really rude and walk around like they are there to judge rather than work. The ONLY thing that was good about this place was the food. I guess thats what it should be about anyway. Service sucked, people all around us sucked, and it was crazy depressing. The table next to us had an older gentleman (think of your dad if you're about 30) and a young, totally trashy hooker chick with him. She wouldnt stop leaving the restaurant, going to the bathroom, and grossing me out. The other two people in the place looked like they stepped out of a Jackass movie. Total Freaks! I dont gamble and we ONLY chose this place to eat because there isnt anything else in Bensalem. I would save your money and when you want to go to an ACTUAL nice restaurant...Head to Vetri. Place is gross, Food is yummy, People are just Gnarls.

    Didn't get seated right away because the host wasn't around for a few minutes, but it was the perfect opportunity to check out the decor, which is pretty cool. Not tacky, just visually interesting. The food was pretty good here. Tuna tartar was tasty, they make it here with avocado. I also got the sea bass, and wow it was really good. Tender, juicy and warm. MMM. For dessert they had a pretty big menu; I had the pear sorbet which was also really good. Overall, the food was delicious. The story with the drinks was a little different. I asked for a pretty standard drink, and when the waitress came back she asked me if it's what I wanted because the bartender had to look it up on her phone. Hearing that was a disappointment, and I think I would have been better off not knowing that. Whatever though, the drink was fine, the food was great, the interior really cool.

    Went here for dinner this past Saturday during a visit to Parx Casino. Tip #1: MAKE A RESERVATION! We actually tried to get into Chickie's and Pete's first-- their wait was over two hours long. The sans-reservation wait at Parx Grill was only an hour and fifteen minutes at 7:30pm on a Saturday. So we put our names in for 8:45pm. Luckily, as I said, the restaurant's IN a casino, so we weren't really at a loss for how to kill that hour and fifteen. When we returned, despite them expecting us and despite there being three hostesses at the stand chatting with each other, our table was not set up. One of them had to go over to the table and put out place settings before another seated us several minutes later. It wasn't a long wait, but based on the circumstances I thought it was certainly an avoidable inconvenience. So, we're seated, brought water and bread (really delicious bread, as another reviewer noted), and our drink orders are taken. Overall, the decor is very nice, but the restaurant isn't actually closed off from the casino at all, so the noise and smoke still wafts in. They might want to consider creating an actual open-and-close doorway for the restaurant in the future. Our waiter returns with our drinks, and we place our orders. Fairly quickly, our salads arrive. I had the caesar, and my two dining companions both had the wedge. All were satisfactory-- nothing special, really. For our main courses, I had the halibut, and my dining companions had the lobster tail and the steak (I don't recall which cut). Again, satisfactory, but we'd all had better for comparable (or, actually, lower prices). Sides were a la carte, but weren't as large as a la carte sides I've had at other fine dining establishments-- definitely big enough for two, but I'd say some weren't big enough for three or more (specifically the asparagus and the baked potato). General consensus: I'd compare Parx Grill to a little girl playing dress-up in her mother's gown and heels. They'd really love to be this fancy, classy place, and they've got the look down alright, but the nuts and bolts of it all, the food and service, is just not up to par with what fine dining should be. I will say that it has potential. Hopefully they'll continue to work out the kinks...

    This place is just ok. The service was good and so is the decor but was sort of disappointed with the NY Strip. The lamb osso buco was pretty good and so was the short rib appetizer.
