My first visit to the Grind was a 7pm dinner on a sunday with my 11 year old son. We're pretty regular visitors to Delux Burger, but we've been hearing about the Grind for a while and thought we'd try it out for a change.
There were many people eating and drinking at the bar watching various games on the flat panels, but there was no wait to get a table. In my experience staff at some of the other trendier restaurants around town tend to be a bit cool toward patrons with kids, but everyone at the Grind was accommodating and friendly to my son. Our server took time to answer our questions about the burgers and made recommendations for us. My son ordered a basic burger and I had the Steakhouse BLT Burger.
The burgers were HUGE, the meat was very flavorful, both were cooked to perfection, and the presentation was top notch. We also shared an order of the herbed fries which were a nice compliment to the burger. Not the best fries I've had, but good enough.
All in all a very positive first experience at the Grind. Highly recommended for a great burger in a cool atmosphere.
