| - True story. This one time, a vegan walked into a burger joint...
I stopped in with a group of 6 for a later dinner on a Wednesday night. As others have mentioned, I was kind of surprised to see how tiny the dining room is in comparison to the bar area, but...Melt has done that at their restaurants and it's worked out just fine, so what do I know?
Our server was a goofy teenage kid. Yes, kid. Based on the way he acted, I'm guessing this might be his first job ever? Someone asked for a beer recommendation, and he wasn't able to give us one, because he was underage. 0_o But that was ok, I guess? I ordered a ginger margarita type drink and others ordered beer. The woman sitting next to me ordered a Butterfinger milkshake. My drink was fine once it arrived. My poor served kind of sloshed it around on the way to the table and I could see it spilling with every step. You can't really mess up a beer, and I have to admit, the milkshake looked pretty damn good.
The bad thing about Grind Burger is the pricing, IMHO. (besides the super long wait for food when the restaurant seems to be empty) I'm not cheap. I'll pay for good quality food. But based on what everyone said, their burgers were good but not great. And they come without any sides, which is a little odd. When the burgers arrived on the plate, I commented that they should have thrown something on the plate as a garnish. It just looked...odd? Pretty much everyone ordered a side of fries - meant for 2. (for $5 or $6) I'm not sure where the owners are from, but the side of fries was more like a single serving. And they were super salty!! My fiance ordered the truffle fries, thinking they'd have truffle oil or cheese or something, but they were just served with a truffle sauce on the side. Weep womp. (they're also not fresh fries because they contain gluten - real fries made out of actual potatoes just contain potatoes) My fiance also thought his bun was stale and only ate the bottom half.
I ordered the ridiculously named Yummy Yummy salad. I felt like saying, "can I have the yummy yummy in my tummy," but I thought that might be too much for our server to handle. I ordered it without cheese to veganize it. The salad was made up of shredded kale, romaine lettuce, a couple tiny pieces of nuts, and 4 half strawberries. It wasn't mind blowing, but it was solid.
Obviously, burger joints aren't my thing, so I won't be rushing back, but I would drop in for a beverage again. They have an extensive wine and beer list and offer a few dollars off drinks during happy hour. I'll just wait a little while to go back to they can work out their service issues...
