Vegetable crates, paddle fans and fresh ingredients convey the MarketPlace Grill message of a bustling gathering place that satisfies diners with the freshest ingredients available. Lanterns flicker at the entrance as people fill up the waiting area, which is usually so crowded that you give your name to the host and watch your table become available from a TV screen.

Salads and appetizers of fresh salsa and chips and the flaming queso and chips are popular choices, although there’s a lot more to choose from than salad and soup combos. Pizzas such as Chicken Florentine, BBQ Chicken and Margherita are prepared in a wood-fired oven and are made from a homemade crust recipe. And speaking of crust, the hot bread loaf is divine. It’s served in a cast-iron like bread dish that is floating in a buttery sauce that is perfect for dipping the bread.
This chunky salsa contains cilantro, onions and jalapenos
Pasta and stir-fry favorites include Jambalaya Pasta with grilled chicken and vegetables in a spicy Cajun sauce and Teriyaki Stir-Fry, a dish of fresh vegetables like broccoli, squash and mushrooms and crunchy cellophane noodles, water chestnuts and cashews.
Teriyaki Stir-Fry is a mix of sweet, salty, savory and crunchy
Lunch portions and dinner portions are offered, but no matter which you choose, it will fill up you. I can never finish the “perfectly fried” chicken tenders with honey mustard sauce with a choice of two side items. I usually order Parmesan spinach and Sweet Potato Fries.
For beef lovers, there is a standout choice: Beef Tenderloin Mirtillo. This dish of grilled medallions is drizzled with a blueberry balsamic reduction. If you’re feeling especially decadent, try the Baby Back Ribs. These are slow cooked with MarketPlace’s own barbecue sauce and grilled to perfection.
Seafood selections include Bacon-Wrapped BBQ Shrimp, Maryland Crab Cakes, Blueberry Salmon, Tilapia Parmesan and Tropical Basa served with pineapple salsa.
On nearly every visit here I have a Chocolate Mess. It is the perfect way to end your meal. Rich fudge sauce lines a sundae glass on the inside rim and all around the exterior. It is filled to the brim with vanilla ice cream topped with whipped cream and is studded with peanut pieces. This is a mess that is so rewarding to “clean up” with your spoon.
