Our Guestbook
“ Unsurprisingly, many couples chose the local iconic Progress Grill to celebrate Valentine's Day. It was a busy night. Hubby made our reservations because he knew we would have a fine dining experience for a romantic night. The food: superb appetizer and entree choices, including stuffed mushrooms, Surf and Turf, stuffed flounder, and those beets; oh my, everything was delightful. My only disappointment was that our server didn't share the dinner specials, assumed we wanted regular still water, forgot our salads, and brought the wrong dessert. Please note. We did receive our side salads to take home with our leftovers.) ”
“ Best crab cakes you will ever have. Years ago I took a friend there from Maryland of all places - and she said these crab cakes were the best she'd ever had. They are still the same, getting close to 30 years later. The ambiance is circa 1990, but that's okay because the food and service are exceptional. ”
“ Classic steakhouse! If you like a great meal and attentive service this is the place. My wife took me there for my birthday. We shared fried zucchini, and I had onion soup. I had a huge ribeye and my wife had scampi and scallops. All the food was delicious and perfectly prepared. We split a delicious piece of tiramisu Our server was knowledgeable and on top of everything. The decor was nice, but hasn't been updated in a while. On the whole, a good night out ”
“ This is a restaurant that has been there for decades, but always seems to create a good meal for its customers. Crème brûlée is incredible! They could use a bit of a decor upgrade. Very old-fashioned looking. ”
“ Have been here so many times and every time we have thoroughly enjoyed our food and service! My husband said my hands down has the best New York strips. ”
“ The service was top notch! The steak and sides excellent! Crème brûlée was also wonderful! ”
“ Overall: Three generations of my family have been eating at Progress Grill for 20+ years. Stepping into the restaurant is almost like stepping into a time capsule, in the best way possible. The atmosphere, much of the wait staff, and the standard (especially with the crab cakes!) have not slipped an inch. Appetizers: French Onion Soup ($7) - A relatively mild, but tasty onion broth, with plentiful bread and perfect amount of melted cheese. One of the best onion soups around! Oysters Rockefeller ($16) - These oysters were large and tasty, and the garlicky spinach helped make for a great bite. Entrees: Crab Cakes w/ French Fries + Baked Potato ($40) - This is the gold standard for crab cakes. BIG lumps, only a little filler, and perfect flavor, broiled to a crispy perfection on the outside. We are forever searching for a crab cake that meets this high bar, and we have yet to find it. ”
“ After a long drive, we stopped for dinner at the Progress Grill toward the end of the day. Tip: PG normally adds a tip to the check for groups to avoid problems Food was outstanding, especially the seafood! The atmosphere was excellent, and the service was attentive and friendly :-) The menu here is extensive, and no matter what you order you really can't go wrong - highly recommended! ”
“ First time. It was exceptional. We all had the #2 combo. Started with a house salad and home add blue cheese dressing. Fresh warm rolls and butter. Crusty and tasty. The combo was a crab cake, crab imperial, shrimp and scallops and stuffed haddock. The scallops were sweet and tasty! The crab meat was plentiful. Side was Brussel sprouts. This place is well worth the price. We took 1/2 of our meal home for lunch the next day. It's well recommended and was packed at 5pm. I will be back many times. The table next to us had prime rib and steaks. They looked amazing. But, it is known for its seafood. Don't miss out and the 80s decor is fun ! ”
