When Don Henley sang Sunset Grille, he made it sound like a place we all needed to get to in order to escape from our everyday lives. Owner and Head Chef Marty has done exactly that with his very own Sunset Grille. Despite not being located on its own private island, this not so hidden hide-away will definitely set the pace for your very own relaxed and casual getaway. This family establishment can accommodate those with mild taste buds, as well as the eccentric and fiery ones! We started with the Classic French Onion soup and Marty’s famous “Durham’s Best” chili. Both were excellent and warmed us up for the next course, which was a fabulous spread of appetizers. The spread ranged from wings, with their spicy flare, to a tangy teriyaki zip and classic mozzarella sticks, to a mouthful of cheesy garlic bread. Who could ask for anything more! Well, there was definitely more to come. I heard that Fridays at Sunset Grille were notorious for a succulent and original prime rib dinner, so we had to have a taste. Nothing less than divine! The prime rib certainly delivered a mouth-watering taste of juicy spices and herbs. Up next was a taste of the Deep South with a New Orleans’s inspired Jambalaya. This dish was unbelievable! I could taste every bit of shrimp, chicken, Italian sausage, and the freshest of vegetables with a delicious buttery sauce that kept me wanting more. I also sampled some of the most tender, juicy ribs I’ve yet to eat in North Carolina. The smoky sauce and flare of Marty’s fresh seasonings and spices made this dish especially decedent. There was more food to enjoy than one would see at a royal feast! The scallops, the Cajun Pasta, and of course, the Sunset Sundae was more than enough for my guest, myself, and a small army to enjoy. This place was packed to the gill and the people kept on coming - even after nine-o’clock. The music was just right, our server and bartender couldn’t have been more pleasant, and Marty, a true host. The fresh ingredients and spices truly shine through in all of Sunset’s dishes; I only wish we had more room! |
