Sunset Grille

Nice place, clean. The food was pretty good, a little on the expensive side for what you get & the atmosphere.

Wow! Just sat at the bar with some friends and had a great time. They have a GREAT new bartender named «Matt» I think. Stayed on top of our drink and food orders and made my friend a delicious Margarita.
Had the happy hour Sliders, Chimi’s, and Nachoes and some of the best bar food I’ve had in the Valley.

Came here with a group and was seated in the bar on a Friday night.
Drinks were good, food was decent. Not anything that made me jump with joy, but it certainly hit the spot. Just wish the chips and salsa wasn’t a separate appetizer.

Good bar service HD friendly staff. Everything else is ok but not remarkable. I tried chili and it is bland and lifeless. The house salad is out of a bag with chopped tomatoes and cheese slivers with bottle dressing. Stick with the bar.

I’ve been going to the Sunset for 15 years. Always liked the food and good selection of tap beers. However things have changed with the new owners. The food is still ok but the tap beer selection is bad. The bartenders are more concerned with talking than serving you and the managers aren’t too friendly.

My husband, kids, and I have eaten here many times and I have met friends there for drinks. The new menu is great. The food is fresh and well prepared. The staff is friendly and the service is never slow. The out door seating is a great plus. It’s the perfect locally owned neighborhood place to go!

I’ve been coming to Sunset Grille for at least 5 – 6 years now. I’ve always loved their mixed drinks and specifically their Buffalo Chicken Salad in the taco shell bowl. I haven’t found a single place in the Valley who could make a salad with that simple, yet delicious, combination of ingredients like Sunset Grille. So you can imagine how absolutely dispirited I felt to find out that they (must have) changed management and the menu. We had ordered their Chile con Queso as an appetizer. It was so watery and tasted as if it was left in the kitchen for hours. The Chipotle Burrito my boyfriend got was way too sweet, instead of the bite it was supposed to have, the rice was dry, the beans were watered down and the lettuce was brown. My salad was made up of the cheapest ingredients I’ve ever seen; the taco shell was not the same (tasted almost like stale chips), the lettuce was only a spring green mix (very stringy; no actual leaves) and the buffalo chicken was beyond hot that it wasn’t even enjoyable. The whole experience has completely turned me off from Sunset Grille, which is so disheartening to me since I’ve been a loyal customer for years now. Such an absolute shame.

Ate here for my birthday a few weeks ago. Food and service and drink disappointing. The appetizer was okay, therefore a second star. I wouldn’t go back here. The atmosphere/​décor suggested it should be a cool hangout but it is lacking something, probably a combination of all of the above.

I was specifically wanted to eat at a restaurant with outdoor seating due to the gorgeous weather over the weekend so when we pulled up we looked to see if there were available tables outside and there were quite a few empty. When we asked the host to eat outside he said there was nothing available but after I asked how long the wait will be he went out and checked and there was a table available. The waitress came over right away wanting to take our drink and app order but we didn’t even get a chance to look at the menu. After we ordered a water and two margaritas it took a long time to get the margaritas and when we got then it tasted as if there was no alcohol in them. My daughter’s soup came out lukewarm and when our entrees came out they were barely warm. Too bad we had to ask for utensils so by the time we got silverware our food was even colder. The hot wings were super dry and crispy, not good at all. My ribs were not tasty and cold and it looked like BBQ sauce was thrown on as they were getting delivered to me. The BBQ shrimp wrapped in bacon looked like they were microwaved. The pork fajitas were somewhat edible but again cold. I ordered a glass of wine which the server never brought to me, even after bringing things 3 times to the table next to us. We normally don’t complain about a bad meal, we just won’t ever return but when the manager asked how it was we told him. They did end up taking off rib and shrimp combo but we had to tell waitress not to bother bringing the wine since the meal was done. We won’t be back. Next time I want outdoor seating there are a lot of other places to go.

The food at the Sunset Grille is not very good. All processed food that is simply heated. Recommend stopping in for a drink but not the food. Would like to see an improvement to the quality.

Went here on saturday. Our server was good. She was probably upset she had to serve such garbage food. This place sucks. So sad. 10 years ago you couldn’t get in this place on a Friday night. My girlfriend and I love supporting the local places, but I can’t give this place another chance. I want to curse in this post… that’s how bad this place has become.
P. S. girlfriends quote «new menu, same shit food»

Ordered the Mango Jalapeño Margarita — I do love pepper infused tequila. But this tasted like they dumped the pepper juice out of the jar into the glass. We asked for more mango, which they gave us, but did not help. All 4 of us felt the same way. Then we ordered Cheese and Green Chili Nachos. Could be tied for worst nachos ever — there was only a sprinkle of cheese on them. When we complained, the waitress took them away, then brought them back and said «I put more cheese on them and put them in the microwave.» Yes she did — complete with the lettuce and fresh veggies which were originally on there — making them hot and limp. Can’t say that we will ever go back.

When they redid the menu, they ruined Mexican Fiesta Night along the way. What was once the best thing they offered, and our primary reason for heading there on a Wednesday night, is no longer worth the trip.

All was okay until my son found a long hair between the bun and meat of his burger. GROSS

Decent place with a good selection of tex-​mex food.
Food was well priced and of sufficient quantity. Beer selection was average and appropriately priced.
Staff was OK. Bartender had some friends sitting at the corner of the bar so she spent most of her time hanging out with them and wasn’t really paying attention.
Average place, wouldn’t go out of my way to hit it up again, but would stop by if I was in the area.

Stopped in for the first time tonight for dinner. Sat on the patio since it was so nice out! I had the Shrimp Fajitas and my Husband had the Cobb Salad– Shrimp were large and had good flavor– salad came with a piece of cornbread which was yummy. Good selection of draft beers– no complaints!

we were a group of 8. About 10 minutes after being seated the room slowly became incredibly warm. We asked someone to turn on the air and it was bearable. The food was very good but the service was bland and slow. Our server had no personality. Another 20 minutes in and it gets warm again! We’re sweating! We asked for ketchup and get handed an empty bottle so we track down another server for another bottle. The ladies room was very dirty. This was old dirt too, not just from yesterday. I had a portabella wrap and it was very good but maybe I will wait to go again till winter.

Love this place. Of course, my opinion is probably skewed being that I live right down the street but we visit quite often. The food is good but not great. The beer selection is good and the margaritas kick ass. It’s a local tex-​mex bar with an awesome bartender named Rick.

I came to Allentown on business for a couple weeks, and our team has been there twice so far. The first time was a Thursday night and it happens to be karaōke night. NO I did not sing, but the beers were cold and the shots were good. The second night we went for food and drinks. Tex Mex food and nice relaxed atmosphere. The food was tasty. We ordered a couple Mini nachos for apps, which were decently size, but when our main dishes came they were same size as the mini apps. The food was still good and service was friendly both nights. If I lived here in PA I would definitely consider this a main place to go with friends and coworkers.

Sunset Grille is located within minutes of a major Industrial park in Allentown PA. The restaurant sits by itself and has its own parking lot. It is a great place to visit after work and enjoy the happy hour and perhaps some great bar food and dinner. The menu is heavy on the tex-​mex side however it maintains its unique spin on the dishes.
We had some chicken winds ordered and they came with some robust flavors. The wings themselves were meaty and not the kind that you see elsewhere there is barely any meat on the bones.
I have tried several items on the menu and the quality of the food is good. Service is on par with average but the bar ambiance steals the show.
