Karvers Grill delivered an outstanding dining experience that deserves high praise. Our server, Michael, was truly exceptional—sweet, attentive, and wonderfully accommodating. Despite our party of five, including some particularly thirsty boys, Michael ensured everyone stayed well-hydrated throughout the meal. His knowledge of the menu helped guide us effortlessly in making delicious choices that suited our appetites. Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed the skirt steak—it was flavorful, perfectly cooked, and a dish I would highly recommend to anyone visiting. The combination of excellent service and a satisfying meal made our visit unforgettable. Karvers Grill is a gem, and I look forward to returning!

Food is always spot on! Lobster Bisque was perfect, rich and creamy with plenty of lobster pieces. Our burgers were cooked a nice medium rare as requested. Nice beer on tap selection. Worth a visit!
