I ate at The Grill with Stefany V. after running a 5k downtown. I don't think the staff was adequately prepared to handle the influx of customers coming from the race because it took ages to get my food. I ordered the chocolate chip pancakes, which is actually on the kids menu. But what the heck, old people enjoy chocolate chip pancakes too!
Chocolate chip pancakes ($5): Awful. The pancakes came in a stack of three and looked good, but failed on the tasting good part. The chocolate chips were disturbingly crunchy and tasted off. Is it too much to ask for melty gooey chocolate chips? I took about 4 measly bites and couldn't stomach anymore. The waitress asked if I wanted it to-go. Um, no, because these pancakes taste like ass. 1/5
Service: Wait times to get my order was way too long and the waitress was not the friendly type.
2/5
Worth a return visit?
Definitely add Gold Spike to your itinerary if you're Downtown bar hopping with friends, but maybe avoid eating at The Grill.
*I thought The Grill at Gold Spike deserved it's own business page, so I added it! Now Yelpers can review this small cafe separately from the awesome late night hangout spot that is Gold Spike.*
