This restaurant always has great food. It is a shame it is closing. The pretzels are yummy. All the apps were delicious and the ribs were amazing. Even though it is their second to last day, everything was available (except for a few desserts). The service was still excellent.

Knowing that George Martin Grillfire is closing this week, we decided to take the family one more time - from age 2.5 to almost 88, 9 people (unfortunately, one person, our son-in-law could not make it). We have gone there many times. As another guest said, it is/was our Cheers. As with prior meals, it was excellent!! The food, the service, the atmosphere, all a 10!! From the hot pretzels when we sat down to the cotton candy at the end. Grillfire has been a family go to since it opened ( as was Nick D’Angelos the predecessor GM restaurant at the site). Management and staff were there in force making sure that everyone was enjoying. I can’t say enough about this place. Its closure will be a major loss to Merrick and the neighboring communities. Thank you George, Frank, Liz, Lauren, Gia, and the entire staff for many years of great food and many great memories. Wednesday is the last day (yes my wife and I are going to go one more time). GM Grillfire will be missed!!

Really sad to see this great restaurant is closing. Over many years, We enjoyed meeting the numerous people who waited on us. The management team Liz and Sarah, etc. were personable professional in their way of greeting us, and checking up on how We were enjoying our meal. We will miss this restaurant.

I’ve been there numerous times over the past years and have never had a bad experience. It’s a Merrick landmark! It’s a shame that they’ll be closing in a few days. My best wishes to the entire staff at Grillfire, you will be missed 💔

We had a wonderful dining experience last night. Server was amazing and the food was on point. Had our pretzels and cotton candy as always and will miss this place when it closes. Such a shame that as a person who lives in Merrick for over 23 years that one of my faves won’t be here anymore.
