*This review is not based on any dine in experience* I’ve eaten here, through the drive thru, multiple times in the last couple of years. Their grilled cheese, curly fries, and milkshakes have earned them the 2 stars. They lost the other three with everything else I’ve ever tried there including salads, taco salads, a burger, breakfast, and chicken. This place is super expensive for a drive thru burger joint and it just isn’t that good. I’m sensitive to fast food but I’ve felt sick most times after I’ve eaten here. The last time I ate here I got a taco salad with beef in it that was not only undercooked but stale and cold, and not refrigerated cold, left out too long kind of cold. That same night my boyfriend found hair in his food. I haven’t returned since.

Love this place! Always good food and great service. And a plus for us too… you can have your friendly dog with you in their outside patio area.

So far this is a 4.5 star affair… We drop in here now and then for a BREAKFASTBURRITO before golf. We get them with sausage, rice(no potatoes), or sometimes we’ll opt for hash browns instead of cubes potatoes that other venues serve. The price is fair and taste is excellent. You can do DRIVE-THRU, take-out or dine-in.

Went in around 10am and ordered zucchini and a couple burgers. Food portions were big. Leftovers zucchini sticks. Even though we gobbled halfway through the pile. I ordered avacado burger, which was perfectly made, my gal had patty melt, also delicious.

My go to spot for breakfast take out. Everything is good and the hasbrowns are definitely worth mentioning. Portions are huge and the meals are always to my satisfaction…

Love this place! One of the only places around where you can get a full diner plate of breakfast through a drive thru. Extremely well priced, less expensive than McDonalds with true diner quality food. The bacon is always cooked perfectly, eggs and hash browns are consistent as well. Try to stop by here on my way to the office any chance I get, there is not a better option for drive thru breakfast around.

The first time I went this place I had an omelette! It was very yummy and came with good hashbrowns. The second time I had an amazing chicken sandwhich and fries! Their Diet Coke was also super good. I really liked this place, and you can sit inside or go through the drive-thru! Will be going back very soon.

Came here yesterday cause I was sick and it was pouring rain! When I’m sick, for some unknown reason I crave pancakes and French toast? Back to my childhood days! It was after noon and hardly anyone serves breakfast past 11ish, especially if you’re not willing to get out of the car! Thank Goodness for this place, it serves breakfast all the time and yep,.it has a drive thru! I ordered some pancakes and eggs(over easy) along with an order of French toast. The menu is pretty good size, they have burgers and fries along with all the breakfast items. The drive thru was super convenient and actually pretty quick as well. The young lady at the window was very friendly. The pancakes were perfect, not too thick not too thin, good flavor, and the egg was cooked perfect, even after sitting for the ride home, by the time I ate, the yolk was still nice and runny! The French toast was very good too, a little bit of cinnamon is always nice. For what I got and for the simple convenience of it all, I am sure I’ll be coming back again. Also it is nice because they are open until 10pm. Can’t wait to try the other items here!

Overall it is pretty good place to have casual meal. Tried their avocado cheese burger and club sandwich and it was pretty good.

I like breakfast here, the chorizo platter is always delicious, the coffee is great, but if you come in the afternoon and there’s only the men working there/chefs they are not as friendly/courteous and kind. But the food is still cheap, in my opinion a little bit greasy. They’re only getting four stars because I love the chorizo breakfast platter, I was awesome to make it a little bit less cooked because it always would come out dry prior to this request.

Great place to go when you want a break from the normal fast food choices. They make good sandwiches and burgers. The zucchini is pretty good. I think breakfast may be their best asset. Good size portions and great bacon. The only bummer is that sometimes I think they are rushing the food out that they under cook the eggs and they can be runny. Also the toast is usually soft and not toasty. With that being said, 90% of the time the food is consistent and good. The perk of this place is that they were open on Christmas morning. That was cool.

My life sucks. I have problems. But there was something about the way the drive thru attendant from Hot Off The Grill said«you got it man» in a heavy Hispanic accent that not only assured me that he had this burrito completely under control but that everything was going to be okay. The grill gets an A++ for personality. Mmmmm… the burritos feel warm in my lap.

I have been going here for almost 2 years and I will say that Ricky makes the best chili cheese fries ever! Everyone is really nice and friendly! You can call ahead and place an order to make sure it is ready when you arrive. The drive thru is nice too! The ranch here is thick :)

I know it’s not healthy but when I wanna eat fries for lunch, this is where I go. They only have one size and it’s basically a bag FILLED with hot fries. Get some ranch while you’re at it! If you order anything else, it’s made to order so be prepared to wait in the drive-thru line for awhile.

Been coming here for years & for good reason! They are always nice, quick & the food is good! I’m a creature of habit & always get the same thing. They have my meal(Greek salad no pickles or tomatoes) ready before I even get to the register! If that’s not great service than I don’t know what is! The French fries are hot & crispy & they have a drive thru?! They always joke around & say see you guys tomorrow when we leave!

We’re here as we write this. Waiting 10 minutes for creamer to put in now cold coffee. Had 3 different servers, not sure to tip if I was to leave on. Food better be good… Wait, the table next to us who got here 15 minutes after us got there food before we did. They got the order wrong! WTH??? We have eaten here before, I really did like it. But today, I doubt if I ever come back. When they did give us our food it was wrong. Wife’s sandwich had eggs on it, she doesn’t eat eggs. The waitress came out and accused her of ordering it with eggs. No apologies. Ughh! I was going to give it 2 stars but 1 is more than they deserve. A soup line would be the Ritz compared to this!

These are the laziest people ever. Went there at 930. The staff locked the doors and we’re just hanging out. They are supposed to close at 11. They laughed when I was trying to get their attention. They ignored me. This is why they don’t deserve more than Minami wage for fast food. Never going here again. They need to fire the night shift and hire more responsible employees.

I’ve eaten at hot off the grill many times and each time I’ve told myself I need to write a good review for this place. Several visits later… here we are… Staff: 5 stars — the cashier(forgot his name) is the man. He’s literally always smiling and gets stoked to take your order and he’s been here forever. Food: 5 stars — for the price($ 6), their club sandwich meal cannot be beat! It comes with lots of avocado and bacon as well as a side of fries and a drink. Also, try their authentic Mexican food it’s incredible.

While deciding on where to eat, my friend had mentioned«Hot Off The Grill». I had never heard of it before so I asked him what they served there. «Well, they serve hamburgers, and …» «Hamburgers?! Ok, let’s go there.» We get there around 8:00p.m. on a Thursday and from the outside, it looked busy. Luckily we were heading in as many of the patrons were heading out. With people leaving, it meant open tables to choose from, but also it meant that people left their trash behind as well. We order our food, find a decent looking table to sit at and wait. It didn’t take long before our food was brought over to us. And it was delicious. This place reminds me of other places like Farmers Boys, Angelo’s, Bob Burgers, etc. Would I come back to this place? Yeah.
