Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Mankas Grill is celebrated for its "great food" and "amazing staff," making it a top choice for special occasions and family gatherings. Guests rave about the "delicious" rib eye tacos and diverse menu options, from prime rib sandwiches to truffle Alfredo fettuccine. The "inviting ambiance" and attentive service add to its charm, though some note room for improvement in noise management and drink quality. Overall, it's a "wonderful" spot with consistent culinary excellence.

    Service, and food was fantastic! The wait for a table and our food was quick. The place was beautiful, however it was loud! We could barely hear ourselves talk in the dining room.

    Friday early evening, restaurant was already busy and very loud. Food choices were fine and served fairly quick however the prices are ridiculously expensive!! I am fine with paying for unique quality dishes this isn’t what is offered here, just basic. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    We usually have a good experience here, but not the case on our last visit. The server Jeanna was horrible, didn't smile once, rolled her eyes, acted like she didn't know what a beet salad was, and then put the dessert menu on our table and didn't say one word. and walked away. The food was not good this time.

    I was surprised on the choices on the menu many items to pick from I had the garlic truffle fries which were excellent as well as the chicken wings I also had the ribeye steak tacos very good the others at my table had the pork chop, the porterhouse steakwhich you rarely see on the menu anymore Everyone was very pleased with their meal The service was excellent I definitely recommend. My only complaint is the parking very limited and hard to back out if you are parked in the front.

    I wanted to like this place really badly, but unfortunately, it fell short of that. The hostess and who I am assuming is the manager were extremely friendly and kind and kept us updated on our table while it was still getting prepared. We waited at the bar and ordered drinks that were nice and then eventually got seated at our table. My rating of this review is mostly based on the quality of the food. For an appetizer, we ordered the pork belly nachos and the beet and goat cheese salad. The cheese that was used for the nachos didn’t taste very good and a combination with the other items made the nachos taste like subpar bar food. The chips were kind of soggy, and there wasn’t much flavor in the pork belly. The salad was extremely dry and the other vegetable in it did not have any flavor and tasted like filling. There could’ve been more dressing on it, but it didn’t really taste like much of anything. For our entrées, we got the burger and the beef brisket. The beef brisket was extremely overcooked and the inside felt dry. The mashed potatoes were fine and the carrots were a bit strange because it was a combination of really nice baby carrots but then regular carrots that were halved And just kind of put there. The burger was not great. The bun was extremely greasy and the patty was very dry and overcooked. The french fries were very obviously frozen and then fried and not fresh at all. The gentleman that refilled our waters was extremely sweet and nice and had a great smile and personality and was probably the only person that we encountered other than the manager and hostess that was actually smiling.
