1481 Grille - Arlington

Burgers were fantastic and service was great. Can't wait to go back.

Service was good, but the food is overpriced and a bit blah. My coworkers ordered steaks that were cold and my burger was mediocre at best. I ordered a plain cheeseburger with fries and cheese curds. Got no fries and a handful of curds. The total price was over $20. Wait staff were great even though the place was packed.

Went there a couple of days ago. They had a big Christmas party there. We had to wait for a table, no more than 30 minutes. The server was over immediately to take our drink orders. We placed our food order thinking it would take forever. Nope, 15 minutes. The food was amazing! You knocked it out of the park, 1481!

Great Food, Wonderful Service. Could Not Be Better !

My review of the fish and chips dinner only... Ask the waiter what kind of fish is the fish and chips dinner made with and you will be told it is called Pangasianodon. Most people have never heard of this fish so they, a long with me, may be curious and go ahead and spend $17 to try it. When I got home I looked up this fish and the he common name in the US is Swai. With a bit of research you will discover that swai fish is nothing like cod or halibut which make a wonderful fried fish meals. Swai is a Vietnamese native and is a omnivorous bottom feeding fish similar to the catfish though in a different family. In other words it 's cheap. Even with today 's prices you can still buy a 4 lb bag for $15 or less retail so they probably pay less to purchase it for the restaurant. Needless to say I was quite underwhelmed with my whitefish dinner after my first bite. I was served four thin fillets of some unidentifiable fish meat. It was properly cooked for what it was and the batter used produced a tasty breading but it was not what I expected. It was not thick, moist, flaky or flavorful. All I could taste was the breading. I 'm guessing the waiters have no idea of what they are selling and simply parrot what they have been told to say. Please think twice before ordering if you want a nice piece of fried fish! On the other hand the service was both friendly and timely and I had no other concerns. [hidden link] [hidden link]
