Bites Nearby: George Martin's Grillfire

Your guide to eating out locally.

Some hearty fare at George Martin's Grillfire takes you right from delectable brunch items such as western omelets and breakfast combinations to specialty burgers and steaks at night.

Start off dinner with a classic appetizer like barbecue chicken wings or spinach and artichoke dip for example, or try something a little bit different with the Japanese peanuts – crispy steamed endame with chili oil and garlic. The crispy tortilla salad brings together the flavors of black beans, corn, roasted red peppers, red onion and a chipotle ranch dressing. For a bite just as delicious, but a little tamer, opt for the chopped tomato and bleu cheese salad with mix greens, bacon, red onions, cucumbers and a creamy herb dressing.

Regular burgers, chicken burgers and vegetarian burgers with and without cheese adorn the menu. For an extra-special kick, select a specialty burger. The kobe beef fancy steak house burger with bleu cheese, creamed spinach, onion rings and Lugar style sauce and the Cuban style mojo burger melt complete with pressed ham, swiss cheese, pickles and mustard are just two of the mouth watering options.

Although these burgers and sandwiches will fill you up, you might want more of a complete dinner type of meal. Creative entree options a-plenty are on the menu. You may experience trouble picking one, since they all look so incredibly tantalizing.

How does a loaded skirt steak with roasted red peppers, mushrooms and mozzarella cheese, Maryland lump crabcakes with tartar sauce or a Grillfire marinated skirt steak with crispy tobacco onions sound? Probably pretty delicious and we haven't even mentioned the Grillfire's favorites yet: homemade chicken pot pie, macaroni and cheese, meatloaf "Wellington," maple brined double cut pork chop, Tuscan grilled chicken, skinny chicken and the chicken meatballs "marsala."

Try an omelet with ham, peppers, scallions and cheddar or a scramble filled with roasted peppers, spinach and mozzarella.
