The Grille

Great sporting clays, great food, great view and great service! It’s just that simple. I recommend. Definitely better than the other resort eateries.

Save your time and money the only thing that was his was the service. The shrimp skewer app was pretty tasteless for something that was supposed to be marinated and they were way overcooked. Onion petals were very greasy and they were out of the Asiago ranch dressing. I don’t think anyone in our group was happy or impressed with their meal (and there were 16 of us!) And don’t get me started on the $ 10 wild turkey and water! Really? $ 10 for a shot of regular old bourbon?
And I hate to be mean, but whoever is booking the talent and entertainment for seven springs is not doing a very good job. There was a duo on the deck while we were there… Guy playing guitar quite nicely and a woman singing like someone was stepping on cats! It was actually painful to listen to she was so flat sometimes!

Although the view is lovely, the food is not. Stale and cold. I’m not sure why they can’t get it right. I think they just don’t care. I had a burger. Reheated puck of ground meat. The bacon had to be removed because it tasted bad. Fries were cold. I could go on. Save your money and eat off the resort.

The Grille at the Sporting Clays is a nice place to have a meal after shooting or if in the area. The outdoor deck is partially covered and has a nice view of the country and a lake. The inside is very nice with an upscale woodsy/​outdoor décor.
The food we had was good. The tomato basil soup is homemade and delicious. The personal pizza is small but good. The wings and the chicken wrap were very good, too.

Anyone that’s been up to Seven Springs knows that the food isn’t exactly anything to write home about. There are several lodge options including the mediocre and overpriced Slopeside dining room, the more casual (and still mediocre) Timbers, the Bavarian lounge (serving the same food from the other two places), and a casual pizza place. And unless you’re ready and willing to spend the high prices for the romantic Helen’s, which, in my honest opinion is the only resort restaurant actually worth coming into the resort for JUST the food, the options have often seemed slim and unpredictable.
The Grille at the Sporting Clays is a nice alternative to these other options. For starters, the covered outdoor patio overlooks the beautiful lake and foliage. If you’re lucky enough to make it up here in the fall, the rainbow of changing tree colors will take your breath away. Or, if you’re here during the winter, the large fireplace surrounded by soft leather couches is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a drink.
The food is decent and they have shockingly delicious wings. We ordered two pounds and had them split the flavors three-​ways: ranch, garlic butter, and buffalo. They were large meaty wings and both the ranch and garlic butter were phenomenal. I also had the K-​80 sandwich, a take off of Pittsburgh’s Primanti Brother’s classic for those of you who know that amazing establishment. That was my fault in the first place for thinking that any other place could live up the real thing. And although not the real thing, surprisingly, the sandwich was satisfying with a large quantity of prime rib, provolone cheese, coleslaw, and french fries sandwiched between Italian bread.
As I previously mentioned, most of the restaurants at Seven Springs Resort are not worth making the (what can seem like) long drive for mostly mediocre, overpriced food. And although the Grille is similarly overpriced, the scenery and atmosphere alone might make it worth your try.
