I really do not beleive that the reviews about pesto grill that I see posted around the web are factual. I went to Pesto’s today for the second time, the first time I went I walked out because of the ridiculous prices. They seem to think they can charge sit-down upscale restaurant prices at a walk in carryout place.

So today my wife really wanted some food and we didn’t want to drive all the way into town, so we decided to suck it up and pay the ridiculous Pesto prices. Point blank I wish I would have drove right past Pesto Grill. I ordered the beef kabob platter, which came with mixed vegetables and rice at a price of $14.00. The kebobs were horrendous with a paltry portion of vegetables and the toughest beef I have ever tasted. In fact I’m still trying to chew. My rice was simply overcooked white rice with some very unflavorable pesto sauce mixed in the rice, truly atrocious. In comparison to places like Sticks and ZamZams this place is not even close, but yet their prices are much higher.

I’m just mad I dropped 15 bucks on a horrible to go meal and I could have went to Three-Notch, I’m truly pissed off. I should have known not to go in once I saw that we were the only there at 5PM.

I really may have to go out and get some other food tonight.

To the Owners:
Some sound advice to save this potential train wreck…
a) Make better food
b) Lower your prices to a respectible level
c) Call Gordon Ramsey from Kitchen Nightmares
