Dino’s Grill has the WORST service in town! Went to Dino’s Grill at 8pm on a Thursday with 3 friends and it took an hour to get our food! We waited 30 minutes for even an appetizer. I explained to the waitress that I was pregnant, and that we were all starving and asked if she could simply bring out some bread. She explained that she was very busy because of another large party that got there 3o minutes prior. So, why should my tiny group have to suffer because of another group who was already eating their food? They should have told us they were too busy for us if we were just going to be ignored.
FINALLY after an HOUR our entrees came out, and our waitress ordered the wrong one for my date. He had to sit there and watch everyone else eat while he waited another 3o minutes for his meal with a growling stomach. When he was finally able to eat something, Dino’s Grill was closing and rudely putting chairs on the tables around us to hurry us out. Our tasteless waitress even had the nerve to call me a bitch behind my back, when I had been polite the entire time.
After all this, they didn’t even have the sense to make it right by comping the food that my date had to wait a full HOUR AND A HALF to eat. Anywhere else, they would have apologized, offered the mis-ordered meal on the house, and sent us out with a dessert, but Dino’s clearly doesn’t care about customer opinions. Southern hospitality?? Not at Dino’s Grill!! Dino’s was rude, low class, incompetent, and had an unreasonable wait for mediocre food. I don’t even know how they are in business. I will never eat at Dino’s Grill in Memphis again! Don’t waste your time.

A group of us went to Dino's & even though it was a full house the food was beyond GREAT. It came out of the kitchen pretty quick & was piping hot. I could not believe the amount of food on the plate. I also could not believe the amount of the ticket either! I have been to some places where I have paid twice as much for half the food that was half as good. I definitely recommend Dino's to everyone.

The food and service are fine, but I don't know how they get away with having such a filthy back area. The restrooms are pretty bad, and the walk back to the restrooms will leave your shoes sticky for the rest of the night for some unkown reason. I can only imagine what the cleanliness is like in the kitchen. Clean it up!

Great family style Italian. Very good food at a great price. I eat there at least once a week and I still am not tired of it. Best Italian in Memphis!

I have eaten Italian food all over the world and studied in Florence. I had heard good things about Dino's, obviously from people who have never eaten outside of memphis. The food was such a poor excuse for Italian that I actually cried, homesick for the Northeast. Chef Boyardee is just as good. If you want real Italian food, Cafe Toscana or Ciao Bella are infinitely superior and the only Italian I'll eat in memphis

For close to 35 years, Dino’s Grill has been a staple in Midtown’s Valentine-Evergreen district. This little hole in the wall, family owned and operated, Dino’s gives you an atmosphere and experience that no one will forget; from the dinner style room to the war room (the war room has a bunch of WWII memorable on the walls.) The food is great; they have a meat and three every day for lunch, some of the best Northern Italian food at night and weekend specials! I would suggest the stuffed jumbo shills with ravioli. The restaurant is causal dress, kid friendly, and very affordable (the highest priced item is $10.95; that’s an entrée, salad, and garlic bread). Don’t forget the best tiramisu in Memphis.
