What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Carmine's Bar & Grille offers a lively atmosphere with a mix of Italian and American comfort food, often praised for generous portions like their creative Italian Nachos. While many enjoy the fun vibe, especially during Tuesday night Bingo, some diners have noted inconsistencies in food quality, particularly with steaks, and occasionally slow or inattentive service.
"When I recently visited home we chose to have dinner at Carmine’s. It was not there the last time I was home so I was excited to try it! When we went it was not busy at all and I’m certain it’s not always like that, because the service and food were excellent! I ordered the Steak Sierra and it was delicious and everything came out fast and accurate. We will visit again!"

"I’ve never seen a steak so thin & taste so chewy. Asked for it to be cooked medium. With it being so thin and Salisbury frozen dinner looking I see how medium isn’t even possible. They give a ton of mashed potatoes to make up for it I’m sure but very dissatisfying to say the least."
Abrian
"We placed a large pickup order for a team meeting and everyone thought the food was wonderful. We ordered a variety from flatbreads to pasta, everything was hot and tasty! Order was ready on time and everyone's order was correct. Lovely team members, even helped load it into my vehicle. Definitely a restaurant we'll use again!"
