Melrose Grill !! Champions of the Steak

Voted Best Steak House in the State of Washington !! My wife and I can not tell you how many Rib Eyes we have put down within these hallowed walls.  Too many to count.


Do you remember Daniel Victor Kirkman?  Probably not.  But you do probably know him as Boone Boone Kirkman the local Boxer who once fought George Foreman back in November of 1970.  He owned the Melrose Tavern in 1972 and is a local legend.  

The Tavern is now the Melrose Grill and is a hidden gem that Renton can call its own.  The menu is absolutely fabulous, the people working there are even better.  On a Saturday Night look for a stout, bald man behind the bar or working the floor.  Ask to sit in Leroy's section because, he is a PISTOL.  Be prepared, he is going to treat you like he has known you for years.  You are in for a treat.  


Not to be outdone by the male servers, there is Jaime, who can hold her own with Leroy, but in a different style.  She understands what a person wants out of the Melrose Experience and goes beyond the call of duty to make your evening a culinary delight. All the people at the Melrose make it a quality evening.


Anyone for bread and butter.  They serve you a basket before the main meal and you have to watch yourself, it is so good you could fill up before the steak arrives.


I prefer a Hefferveisen, but no matter what you like like, their bar will not disappoint you.

Did I mention they have STEAK. My typical meal is:  Rib Eye Medium Rare, Baked Potato with all the trimmings on the side.  How they grill their vegetables is a trade secret.  You have to try them.  My better half enjoys shrimp or the salmon entre.  There is not an average dinner selection on the menu.  The Metropolitan Grill? Ruth's Criss? or Jak's Grill? Hands down, or Forks down, The Melrose Grill is better.


Did I mention to look at the pictures hanging on the walls?  They show the history of the Melrose, not to mention, the 3 legged Ghost Dog.
