Grill - American restaurant in Essex - 8801A Kelso Dr, USA

Food was average but extremely overpriced. Now they are even charging for plastic bags. The owner will not even consider giving anything and wants your money. Prior to these owners the previous owners were great on customer service. No matter how you order your eggs they are well done and fried. I would definitely recommend somewhere else and only use this as a last resort. Also not the cleanest place around

The older couple who runs this quaint location are the real deal! They’re kind, friendly, helpful, and have built a devoted following over many, many years by maintaining a menu of consistency. It’s been some time since discovering The Grill; Today, I spent $16.32 on: 1) creamed chipped beef 2) egg & cheese on whole wheat toast 3) side of home fries (which I am particular about) While I typically prefer onions in my home fries, these are perfect as-is. My order is perfect as-is. Photos are attached. For full disclosure, I added fresh ground pepper. Portions are controlled. Not inflated. Nor elaborate. What I ordered is what I received. Their prices, quality, and quantity is reasonable, tasteful, and good enough for me. Massive portions is not my jam. According to a posted sign in their business, they will prepare party platters with a 4-day advanced order. (See the sign) Since the pandemic, many (employees of) local businesses who supported them have closed. Their following keeps them in business, but they don’t advertise. On a side note, driving past the corporate donut chain nearby, I wondered if those patrons in the extensive drive-thru line would’ve considered a less commercialized means for breakfast from a hardworking local “mom and pop” shop known as The Grill.

This was my first time at this place. The cheese steak sub was very good, but the portion of it was too small. I've had hotdogs that were the size of the sub. The fries were small as well, literally a handful. Not worth the price of $12. You're better off with choosing many of the other sub/sandwich shops in the area.

One of our favorites places to grab a quick bite. Always friendly and quick. A lovely couple to see bright in the morning. A decent meal for the price and given great service. We usually come over for breakfast but my boyfriend has enjoyed their lunch as well. Thank you for always being so wonderful in the morning

like and old fashion restaurant with great breakfast food and courteous and friendly ownership...easy free parking

I will never go again!!!!! Ordered pit beef and had no flavor, tasted like reheated in microwave. No salt on fries at all. Ordered 2 platters and only received 1 coke. They gave me a french toast platter with NO SYRUP or butter or anything!!!! No condiments in bag just 1 fork and $36 later. Horrible first and last experience!! No thank you!!!

Love this place. The couple who runs the place are sweet and welcoming. Food is great. Go have some

Today was my first time here. All the employees were so friendly and welcoming. I loved chatting with them. I got a sausage egg and cheese on rye and it was DELICIOUS!!!!! I will absolutely be back. I can't wait to try more things.
