At Austin's, we've been cooking the old fashioned way since 1994. We start with the freshest ingredients we can find, delivered to our kitchen each day of the week. We make everything on our menu from scratch, every day. We grill over hardwood, not gas, the way that it was a long time ago. It may not be the fastest or least expensive way to do business, but for us, it is the only way. We want each meal you enjoy with us to be a memorable and delicious one; so we work hard preparing each dish to order, smoking ribs and brisket, filleting fresh fish, hand cutting steaks, preparing homemade soups daily and baking our fresh breads and desserts. Its a difference you can taste and one we hope you will keep coming back for. At Austin's, everything we do, we do because our customers deserve it. We will always insist on a level of service and quality that helps us deserve you.

Great service and good food at a reasonable price. Artichoke appetizer is a favorite because they make their chips themselves with just enough salt and goodness baked in. There’s something for everyone!

Had a small group for a birthday dinner. It was a Tuesday so most had the strip steak special. Ordered steak medium, it was medium rare but tasty. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Service took a bit longer than I would have liked but it was very busy for a week night.

First time for me but my wife had been there before. Excellent service. Food was very tasty. I had brisket and Mac N Cheese. Not very much brisket but it was very good. My wife just had a burger which she said was very good. We will repeat and try other dishes.

Music was being played very loud. It was very difficult trying to have a conversation with my lady friend. You need to eliminate the music. Loud enough with people talking. I don’t want have to shout across the table.

For my first trip to Mentor, I was thrilled to have found this gem of a restaurant. My teenaged son and I were looking for a good steakhouse for dinner on a Friday night, and this was perfect. He had a ribeye cooked just the way he ordered it medium rare, and I had the crab stuffed orange roughy. Wonderfully quick, helpful, and friendly service. Would definitely go back again, in fact we would have gotten lunch to go on our way out of town the next day, but they don't open until 4 pm. So until next time...

We have eaten at Auston's Grill in Mentor four times throughout the past year, and we have always found the experience five star. Everyone from the hostess and the servers to the manager make it their mission to provide exceptional service. On top of the excellent service, the food has always been been delicious. The menu provides a wide variety of choices with new items and specials added throughout the year. We purchase gift certificates to the restaurant to give as gifts.

Food and service was good was an anniversary dinner that I noted on our reservation but server didn’t ask about it no big deal but nice when restaurants acknowledge special occasions even if they don’t offer any dessert
Austin's GrillResponded on August 14, 2022Hello Fred! I am so very sorry we did not acknowledge that it was your anniversary. I took the comments that you posted and had a talk with my staff. I explained that its very important to not let things like this slip by. We are a special occasion restaurant, we want to make people feel special, everyday! I thank you for the reminder, we all need one once and a while. Please allow us to help you celebrate again. Dessert is on me for you and your wife. Thank you again, Nancy DeTomaso, GM
