The Garden State Grill, a popular local dining option in Lillington, has announced new additions to its menu and extended hours.
Ben Lipetz, owner of The Garden State Grill, opened this concept in July of 2021. Lipetz shared that he’s been in the restaurant business his entire life but prior to Garden State Grill he never owned his own restaurant.
Lipetz is from New Jersey which is what inspired the restaurant’s name. Many of the menu items incorporate classic Northeast flavors.
Starting this month The Garden State Grill is now offering prime rib dinners every Friday beginning at 4 p.m. Additionally, the restaurant will now serve brunch on Sundays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Beginning Feb. 19 the restaurant will be open on Mondays meaning that hungry customers can now enjoy their favorite freshly made meals seven days a week.
“My vision and mission is for every single guest that walks in here, when they leave to not only want to come back to try something they haven't tried again, but to bring someone who hasn't been here before…it's all about making sure I'm delivering a superior product in the best environment I possibly can,” shared Lipetz.
