Dino's Grill — Restaurant in Memphis

I could tell a lot of work went into the spaghetti sauce. It wasn't to my taste, but that's no fault of the restaurant. Most people would enjoy it immensely. Lots of garlic. If you live by the truism "there's no such thing as too much garlic" then this is the place for you. You'll love the sauce. I wish I did too, I just don't like garlic. The portion sizes are huge, bring an appetite. We could have ordered 2 adult meals and fed all 4 of us. The kids portions were more than I could eat, especially with the included garlic bread. Minus 1 star because the noodles were super over cooked. I was surprised how bad they were and I don't think it was just a personal taste issue. I'm not usually fussy about noodles. And the milk wasn't very fresh, my kids wouldn't drink it. Minus 2 stars for the lack of cleanliness. The eating areas were alright, but the back rooms and bathrooms desperately need work. The women's toilet rocks badly, and the bathroom smells like the toilet is leaking around the base. Based on the build up around the sink I can see that cleanliness is not a priority.

However, the sauce wasn't good either. I always try a restaurant proclaiming a certain cuisine as their specialty with what they should be SUPERIOR with. So, they proclaim Italian, I'm gonna try your sauce...I got spaghetti and meatballs. Never again!! I was gonna order some other food, like the mufaletta. Nope! I just paid and left. Also, they offer Turkey n dressing, etc. ???????? I think they should remove the whole Italian theme and just be a restaurant that offers all types of food. When you say "ITALIAN ". People are looking for just that. The focus in the restaurant is "ITALIAN ". Fresh breads, delicious tomato sauces, TASTY and tender meatballs,...

The city of Memphis is a city that receives and EARNS a lot of criticism and disdain nationwide. It is indeed a city on the fast track of despair and decline. I only mention this because within the four walls of corruption, crime and poor leadership, there are still some real GEMS! There are still some very fine people just trying to survive. One such place, is Dino's Grill!

This eating establishment has been around a long time and has earned its spot as a landmark and a must stop amongst your travels throughout the city. The regulars know where to go when they want some fantastic food and Dino's always delivers.

You will receive good service, a good atmosphere and even better yet; great food.

Their sauce is great and their meatballs and Muffulettas are fantastico! Honestly,...you will like everything they bring out to you! The onion rings are great too.

So,..if you find yourself stuck in Memphis and you have the time, go to Dino's and they will turn your frown upside down! There are still some great people here and some equally great places. You just have to dig deep...
