Decided to give the grind another shot since it's so close to home and I still hear good things about it. This time I had the sweet and spicy burger, the better half ordered the portobello sandwich and we were both pleasantly surprise by how much we enjoyed the meal despite being skeptical from our previous experience. I don't know if the last time we were there it was an "off day" or what, but the food sure had a lot more flavor and was much more enjoyable. The beef of the burger more juicy and flavorful and the burger itself was very well balanced. We also split the scalloped potatoes which were very good, not too cheesy, and cooked just right.
Pricing is in line with the burgers at delux and zinburger, but they do offer some different options and flavor variety compared to those two. I will definitely be back again!
