| - I was excited to try this place because it's around the corner from my home. Also, they were so highly rated. When we arrived the cashier was not very personable but was not rude either - I gather that it was just his personality. I didn't take it personally. I ordered the beef with vegetable double beef. Also, the chicken and rice, no veg. It came to under $13.00...sweet!! It is open and you can smell the grilling. Another worker came from the back and was very friendly. I asked about delivery to a big organization and they were very helpful and seemed to be willing to accommodate. Especially because it would be for 20+ orders. We got our food and took it home. Upon opening, I was disappointed to find that the beef was not as pictured. Instead of pieces of cut up thin steak, it looked like ground beef, except it was quadruple chopped cheap meat. There were lots of hard gristle bits that made it completely unappetizing. The flavor was good but the texture was horrible. The vegetables were steamed and tasteless. The chicken was definitely better, there was a very distinct char taste and had pretty good flavor. I'm going to force myself to give it another try because I see the potential it has. The flavor is there, the concept is good, the prices are great, but I would gladly pay up to $5.00 more, for better quality meat. I'm not giving up on you yet, Lava Grill, we need more businesses like you, I speak for many who are tired of fast nasty food. I want to bring you business, but you gotta up the quality.
