| - This review is fro 4.5 stars.
I'm always skeptical when a restaurant has 5 stars with over 50 reviews, but I came to Garden Grill with an open mind. And man, this place is very good. Plant-based ingredients, terrific dishes, and surprisingly large portions. The meal had a hangover cure feel to it as the sandwiches were full of heavy ingredients and sauce and bread, but still terrific. The California Burrito ($12) was the size of a large Chipotle, full of beans, pico de gallo, guacamole, plant-based steak, cheese, and french fries. I could have done without the french fries and cheese but the rest of the ingredients were fresh and delicious. The hot sauce was awesome as well; don't forget to get extra. The buffalo chicken sandwich ($10) had a little too much sauce, but the meat itself was so flavorful that I'll give the sauce overload a pass. Add the great coleslaw on the sandwich and we have a winner.
The prices are of a sit down brunch spot overall but the portions are big and service was great and quick. The bread greatly underperformed in my opinion on the sandwich as well as the tortilla for the burrito, which is the main reason I'm knocking Garden Grill down from a 5 star experience. I do really like that they park specifically at Farmer's Market which show the spot's freshness. I would come here often if they opened a storefront. Here's to hoping.
