Players Grill - Highland Park

Chill and calm place. I love the food and the service.

Ordered today’s six course tasting menu, mandarin/orange themed throughout, unique and delightful. Duck was tender and cooked to perfection. Portion is good, just the right amount to satisfaction.

Yoooooooooo!!! No Joke, just had the best Chicken Sandwich I’ve ever had in my life!!! 6-8 oz chicken breast cooked crispy on the outside and juicy in the middle, was topped with a white cheese, avocado and 2 Strips of delicious Bacon on a Buttered Brioche Bun!!! It was Bomb. Period. Don’t let the strip mall fool you, inside is a clean sports ambiance with many T.V.’s and absolutely amazing food!!! Thanks guys ? Keep up the great work!!!

This is the NEW Players Grill! The owners unluckily bought this restaurant right before Covid struck, remodeled the entire place which is clean as a whistle, and fought the eat home necessity during Covid to make a success. Peter and Julie are genuinely lovely, very determined hard working people who have increased their crowd slowly but surely. Initially they didn't have much help other than themselves, and now they have a terrific bartender and wait staff. The owners serve quality food and do not skimp on portions. They have brought back the old bagel chips which are addicting. We try to support them often, as they deserve to be patronized. I am pretty fussy when it comes to food and have never had a bad meal here. It is light enough, not crazy crowded so you're sitting in the person's lap at the next table, the tables are well spaced, you can actually talk to the people at your table, and every server is customer oriented. Their poppy seed house dressing is good enough to drink. The fried shrimp are big, crispy, and meaty, the salads large and interesting/delicious, pistachio crusted salmon very good, Chato's chicken my favorite, and on and on. I have no idea what the complainers are talking about we eat there every week and their complaints are unfounded, not that every restaurant doesn't have a bad night. Players is the new guy in town and the community should give them try! Our daughter from LA loved it talk about fussy she's it! They need to advertise, put a candle or flowers on each table, and offer special food/liquor deals at the bar. Spread the word....this place is a gem! They take reservations and the line should be out the door! Run, don't walk! Vegetarian options: Plenty for vegetarians on the menu want something special, ask. Peter will get it for you! Kid friendliness: definitely Parking: Easy parking Wheelchair accessibility: front door is heavy but always someone close by to help Dietary restrictions: They are careful to fulfill requests

Not the same place, we loved and came for the skirt steak , off the menu after all these years our go to place is gone!
