| - I am simply amazed as to how many restaurants there are along McKnight Road. I wasn't familiar with this place so we decided to see what it was all about. It's located in one of the older plazas along McKnight and it is almost hard to spot unless you are really looking for it. It is located in the same plaza as Lasik Vision.
The place is very spacious, almost too spacious because the layout seems to be off balance or something. Large wide open dining room on one side and a separate bar with some tables throughout in the other room.
Our waitress was in training so we had two servers. They were a cute team. Between the two of them we were thanked at least 25 times during our meal.
Speaking of the meal, I did something I normally don't do - I ordered a sandwich that I absolutely had no real desire to try but I just had to order it to see how it would turn out. I ordered the Monte Cristo. The menu describes it as such: Ham, turkey and provolone. Battered and deep fried crispy and served with a side of roasted red pepper aioli. It looked liked fried chicken when it was served but I must say it tasted better than I thought it would but it was way too heavy to finish it myself. It would be something fun to order and share with a few people. The aioli gave it a nice zing.
The menu overall offers grilled sandwiches, pressed sandwiches, wraps, hoagies,
burgers, pretzel sandwiches, salads, 3 kinds of mac n cheese, homemade chips, homemade soups made from scratch, regular and specialty pizzas.
My friend ordered the Stokes pick two which is a side salad or cup of soup with a half sandwich for $ 8.00.
I look forward to another visit to Stoke's Grill.
