Description

The Grind serves up a compact menu of burgers and other dishes cooked in unique coal-fired ovens. From the mouthwatering sweet and spicy burger, topper with combination of candied jalapenos and fried ratatouille, pungent roasted garlic aioli, and a heap of fresh watercress, to a peppercorn-crusted version, there is plenty to satisfy carnivores, although there are a few meat-free treats as well, including a hefty portobello burger, salads, roasted vegetables, and sweet potato fritters. Snug booths, sexy lighting, and a long, gleaming bar make it an inviting watering hole.

Burgers? Yes, have some. It's pretty much that simple when it comes to pleasing a pedestrian palette. Yet having a professional food critic recommend a particular burger joint doesn't hurt either. Fo... More »

Seriously. Choose a date on your calendar today and go here. Their candied jalapeno burgers are massively tall and the most delicious burgers I've ever had. Sweet potato fries are phenomenal. They also have this dessert that consists of small donuts, powdered sugar and caramel. If you have the extra few bucks and you're still hungry I highly recommend that as well.
