We were looking for a real hamburger, so we tried Grindhouse. Amazing!!!Great atmosphere, friendly environment.Best food in town.. we came back again and thought I needed to share
We sat upstairs which its outside but it has fans so it was nice n cool. The food was excellent and so was our server. He suggested a large Marg which has tequila in it n it was great also!! Will def go again!!
Excellent burger that was so hot that I had to let it cool down before enjoying it. Good service to from upstairs.
I would leave no stars at all for the place if I could we were so excited to come here to eat today for Fathers day. We drove over 45 mins to come here today to be treated rudely as soon as we walked in the door no greeting or anything then I stood there waiting to be seated when she rudely states you have to order here which I did not know I told her sorry Ive never been here before. We start ordering our food then go to pay when she tells me that they dont except cash so here we are in the parking lot trying to find somewhere else nearby to eat I am disappointed and angry at the service and employees and cash is money i wont be back for sure .
The food was so good and me and my husband felt so at home. I really wish that I took a snap of his burger...it looked like a commercial and tasted great too!!
Truly EPIC burgers and fries. Dont miss the fried pickles or sweet potato fries, as they are great alone, but when matched with the chipolte mayo sauce, your tongue will find new favorite frontiers. If you dont live nearby, show up with friends willing to trade bites on the Euro, Cowboy and Hillbilly burgers, since they are SO DIFFERENT AND SO GOOD! If the weather is good, head upstairs to the giant deck covered up with umbrella seating, big screen TVs and a full bar.
Extremely disappointed in the rude waiter that severed us 4/27/2022 at 1pm. We ate lunch there for a business meeting. Day (which was the name given on the check) came over to our table to take our order, we asked for just a second but we were ready. We took approximately 10 seconds to make final choice and wrap up our convo. He then felt comfortable enough to tell four grown women that we need to hurry and finish talking because we were “rude” because we were taking literally 10 seconds to make our decision. I was horribly disappointed in his condescending tone and disrespectful demeanor. I will not support a business that does not value customer service. Especially as we are four Black women on a business meeting VERY obviously being disrespected.
Would have given 5 stars but the killer lemonade was a bit lame (too weak). However the burgers were great, fries were fresh and crispy. Also ordeted the crispy brussel sprouts with sauce on the side, which wete very tasty. If you want the best burger (and they have many varities to choose from), the Grindhouse is the place to go.
Yummy burgers and cool atmosphere. You order at the counter and they bring your food to the table. Decent selection of beer on draft. Upstairs can get smoky but they have a full bar. Make sure to visit the trippy red and black bathrooms. Highly recommend!
Just dined today on their upstairs patio. The double Dixie burger I ordered medium was between raw to well done. The two patties were not well prepared. It was supposed to come with fried green tomato, it didn’t as they forgot to add it. They brought it after I pointed it out and it was soaking in oil and fried many hours before they served it. More than that the waiter charged me in the bill the $1.50 for the tomato that was supposed to be there in the first place. Sides tried were not freshly prepared as well.Beer was cold and great.It was first and last time visiting, hope they can fix the issues with their food. Similar issues observed with the people on the table next to ours.
Delicious. I had a double with cheddar and the classic toppings. I also ordered the fries topped with chilli. Out of curiosity, I asked for their signature sauce on the side. The chilli was good, made with brisket. The signature sauce was a fine accompaniment. The burger was outstanding. If you like a good burger, I recommend a visit
I got the regular Grindhouse burger and it was great. The bottom floor you order at the counter and seat yourself, the top floor is full service. The service was awesome, our server was very attentive, overall it was a great experience. Would recommend. I cant wait to visit, probably often, and try something different on the menu every time.
Love the open air top deck. Yankee burger was delish w/ crinkle cut fries & Tritonia beer.
I loved my experience here a couple weeks ago. The burgers are seriously so unique and SO TASTY. The service was fantastic and casual. The music was good too, loving it as Im a 90s kid lol. Only thing I didnt like was my alcoholic shake, the stimulus package or whatever its called, the mint chocolate chip one, but thats my own fault for ordering something with peppermint schnapps which I absolutely hate. If I enjoyed the alcohol, it would have been a really really good shake! Next time Ill be getting a regular one! Thank you guys for your wonderful service!
Good burgers are delicious and sized right. Sides were all great save the brussel sprouts that were swimming in sauce. Wait staff on point.
Firstly, the location is sweet, the interior is stylish and spacious with good AC. Theres options for sports if you fancy it but it doesnt intrude on the seating.The food is incredibly cheap and potentially the best burgers Ive had in Athens. You can get a burger and drink for as little as $7, with so many options for toppings and extras. The service is really quick and polite.Special mention to the Impossible Burger. Made with plant proteins its neigh impossible to differentiate it from regular beef patties. So its definitely good for vegetarians. Overall a must visit if youre in the area.
Not too bad. If you’re in Athens and want a burger, stop in.
Delicious burgers. Great sides. Friendly staff, Jordan was my waitress and was very helpful. Had the double beef, the vegetarian and turkey burgers looked good too. Ate on the top deck. Modern furniture but nice. Had a good experience.
Very Slow Service. Went in to pick up orders for Uber and there was several other drivers getting their orders before me. I waited longer than I thought was right. Also, people were parking in the handicap parking place with no handicap permit. Not Right.
Lauren a staff member at Grindhouse Killer burgers is the best! It was refreshing to have someone give such good customer service. I was waiting at the bar downstairs for a friend to arrive and she offered me a beverage while I waited, gave me a menu and then offered me an appetizer. She was friendly and helpful with menu suggestions. Once my friend arrived she took our order promptly and we found a seat at a table. The food arrived soon after and it was cooked to perfection. They have the best veggie burgers and sweet potato fries! Fried pickles are the best in Athens! I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.
Ehh. I was expecting killer food. My sweet potato fries were cooked too long and I have a tooth thats been bothering me just enough that I couldnt eat them. Impossible burgers were extremely bland. I make them at home a lot and they never turn out that bland, so idk what went wrong. My husband agreed. Probably just caught them on a bad day. Im willing to try it again. Unfortunately, my husband isnt.
The two ladies I encountered weren’t friendly at all the girl that brought my lukewarm food to the table literally dropped it down I don’t know happened before I entered but it wasn’t pleasant even though I do like the restaurant.
From out of town and picked just for the name.. TOUCHDOWN DAWGS! good service, GREAT FOOD, quick and reasonably priced.
Dont ask how I want my burger done (medium) and deliver me a super - well - done one. I sent back the ice cold onion rings and the hot ones were the best. I like my burger buns warmed too, not straight out of the fridge.
Food is absolutely delicious. Such a messy burger but sooooo delicious. This was the first time my Wife ate at Grindhouse. She was pleasantly surprised how good the food was. The service was friendly and the establishment was clean. Good prices on the beer selection. I highly recommend this place to everyone.
So good
Good food and great service :). Even with a crowded restaurant, the employees were efficient and friendly! One gentleman, Ben, was especially nice to us. We were in town for business and just wanted a chill place for a quick dinner. Burgers were good, fries were even better 👍
I placed a order online for dinner for my family and I noted to make sure the burgers were well done. I got them home and all burgers were raw not medium but they were bleeding. I called the Athens store and told them and he was pretty smart about it and finally said that I could have a $10 burger card when I actually paid $40 for my family’s dinner as I went to ask how I get the card he hung up on me. It was so bad I gave it to my dog.
Nothing special. The burgers were small and the serving size of fries is pretty big. Food was room temperature and kind of bland.
Very cheap meals but good quality food. Highly recommend the sweet potato fries!
Never do take out in any form here. Workers are incompetent and cannot pack ticket information. You’ll be hungry and it will be a hassle to get your money back.
We had a great experience here last week! The burgers were amazing and Ben was super helpful (it was out first time visiting Grindhouse). We will be back next time were in Athens. Thank you so much. [ps- the brussel sprouts are awesome]
The milkshakes were fantastic, the food came quickly and it was also great. Love the selection and customizability of the burgers and the alternative options for meat etc. Overall great place to eat in a well kept terrace with quake prices. Will definitely visit again.
If you want a burger that looks like this. Please visit grindhouse. Terrible service by the lady in the counter. Rude as hell. The taste of the black bean patty is awful and not worth the price.
Excellent food excellent staff decent drink selection. Even during the current times plenty of space for large or small groups without overcrowding. Burger selection is excellent and the customization options are absolutely fantastic. Service was quick and efficient. Will be returning for many future visits.
My boyfriend and i went here may 7th, 2021. patio upstairs was amazing. our server was also really nice. my boyfriend had the impossible burger and i had a regular grindhouse style jr. burger. burger was good, could have been a bit more flavor but that’s fine. fries were a tad on the cold/warm side but it was still crispy. overall, i would go here again.
Nasty, dirty,stinky. Sink in bathroom doesn’t work and bathroom was a mess. They do not take cash but the place was nasty.
The burger was good! Im was skeptical about the onion rings and should have gone with fries. They werent the best, and was cold because my food was ready before the stated time for pick up
Cinnamon milkshake is absolutely amazing the burger and fries were fresh and good
Expensive but good burgers. Sides are way too small
This place used to be great, however in recent years(COVID aside) they have really gone downhill. It seems like every time I go there they are either closed or you wait so long in line you end up leaving. I think it will be a while before I try and have a burger or drink there, which is a shame because the patio upstairs is divine and a great place to have a nice drink.
Great Burger had the Grindhouse with Fries and the burger was very moist and sweet tea was bottomless. Not too bad on price either $15 for everything with tip
Ordered food via Uber Eats. Food was great other than we ordered extra sauce with our fried pickles and tomatoes and got no sauce at all, instead got ketchup. Dissappointing. Burger was good though.
Was able to dine there outside which was awesome. Service was quite good, and so was the burger. The prices are a little high for the quantity hence 4 stars, but dont let that stop you if you want a good burger. Ill be going back when I get the craving...
They have the best sweet potato fries! I always get either the Dixie style or the cowboy style burger and theyre both phenomenal (Im partial to the Dixie style though since it has pimento cheese)!
This place is great. My server was a great guy and very attentive. I had the fried pickles Be careful they are very hot inside when they come out. I had the double cowboy burger cooked perfect. Great burger!! I was upstairs in the bar area, its partially open. Parking seems limited but I did get a spot and someone was waiting when I pulled out.
Just ordered through Door Dash for the Athens location. We had burgers for 2 adults and 3 kids. We all loved them. My 7 year old daughter that never finishes a meal devoured her burger, fries, and fries pickles. Tons of options to make your own masterpiece. Great great burgers. Thank you!
Nice quick service and friendly staff. The burger tasted good and I like being able to build my own. They do a fairly good job at doing their burgers with lettuce wraps vice with a bun. My only complaint is that the burger patties do seem small. The toppings are of a good size and amount though and taste great.
We visited this restaurant on a very busy Saturday late afternoon, before a UGA football game. The staff was very attentive, and polite. The hamburgers were cooked, per our specifications. The burgers had a lovely flavor. The french fries were very crispy, and not the least bit greasy. I really liked the Build Your Own Burger options. We will return, without a doubt.
A Step Up From 5 Guys Burgers & Fries! I had the Black Bean Dip appetizer which had a very tasty house made black bean dip served with a small platter of fresh cut carrots, celery, cucumbers and sweet potato chips. It was great and about $5 for a lot of food! Also had the Cowboy burger cooked medium well (yes they asked), an Old Fashioned mix drink and a Root beer. My work mate had an American burger, sweet Vidalia Onion Rings and an ice cold beer! They have a full bar and lots of choices to build your own burger or order one from the menu. It was a nice experience. I’d eat here again.
Always a great place for a burger. Before Burger King had the Impossible Whopper, Grindhouse had the Impossible Burger. A plant-based masterpiece fixed to the diners specifications and worth every penny. If one prefers more conventional fare, the options are just as numerous. I would suggest this place to anyone looking for a great burger restaurant. I will gladly go back again and again.
I had such a pleasant experience at this restaurant! I notified the staff about my severe gluten allergy (celiac) and they were so accommodating! They grilled my burger on a separate surface and even wrapped it in foil to make sure that there was no cross-contamination. Our bartender, upstairs, was super friendly as well. I will definitely be returning to this place!
Not worth the price of burgers, fries so-so, only offered a very small amount of ketchup ( were out of ketchup, we were told), milkshake machine not working, tables not clean, AC condensation dripping from ceiling, very poor service. Will not be back.
Heard a lot of good buzz about this place. When I went on a Thursday evening, it was pretty busy. I honestly didnt find the burger I had to be all that exciting... It was tasty but not super tasty. Friendly staff though, so Ill certainly give them another chance, and hopefully the next burger will be better. Good fries though.
Came by to try the burgers after all the hype weve heard. Food was brought out in under 10 minutes and was hot, fresh, and cooked perfectly. Dont get me wrong, the burgers were good but Ive had better from many other places and I certainly expected bigger for the price. Not a bad place at all but kinda pricey compared to portion size.
Great veggie burger, however more lettuce could be added. The cheese sauce for the fries is very good as well! However I ordered delivery and the onion ring I added to my burger was missing.
I placed a to go order at the Athens location and the fries were cold when I got there because the restaurant made no attempt to wrap them up. I asked for fresh fries And the manager told the employee not to give them to me because I was late picking them up. I didn’t prepay for them so I could have not shown up at all. But I did the right thing and came anyways. Since the fries were $2.50 - $3, I expected them to be properly wrapped up to remain warm until I got to where I was going to eat them, regardless of when I arrived to pick them up. I don’t eat a $9 burger and fries in my car. That’s when you go to McD’s. So when I brought this up with the general manager, he said they aren’t concerned with whether to go orders are kept fresh and warm. I mentioned that their competition makes the effort and he said he didn’t care. He also said they will never wrap up all the to go food. I said then I won’t order from there again and he said that was good to know. He asked me if I was offered fresh fries and I said yes but I would have to pay for them. He said he wouldn’t have even done that for me. Next time I’ll go to Wendy’s for a to go burger. They taste better than that overpriced 1/4 lb. cheeseburger and the employees treat you better.
Veg burger was great. The party is so crispy and the tea is decent. The sweet potato fries are great. Price is decent.
My friend and I ordered two beef burgers, one Apache style and one Cowboy style. I really enjoyed Cowboy style, but unfortunately the Apache one was pretty tasteless. The sweet potato fries were crunchy and good(: I would love to come back and try an impossible burger though! The music and space truly is artful too.
Grindhouse offers a great variety of burger options including, beef, chicken, turkey, veggie and vegan. Their topping options are really extensive so you can get a burger made with anything you want. Plus, they make the absolute best milkshakes ever, they can even make a boozy milkshake in every flavor they offer. They have happy hour specials. So basically, its a great and affordable place to eat and drink.
Food is 5 star service is 3 so a cute 4
After paying almost $50 for 3 people to be served cafeteria style, the person who took our order forgot that we had two milkshakes as well, which we received after Id finished my burger. They also charged us for a double when we did not order one. The burgers themselves were good but not particularly memorable and their shape was reminiscent of something I squished together at home. The fries came out of a bag. $3 for 14 crinkle fries out of a bag. Honestly this place is as average as it gets for food. The venue is cool. The staff was friendly but made mistakes and were in no way proactive. I will never actively choose this restaurant again, but would not feel terrible about returning with a group. Honestly I feel like this is a pretty typical Athens experience.
This place really grinded my gears, in a good way! The double burger is a perfect size and the veggie options are plentiful for a decent price.The trivia is awesome, the food is great and the drinks are good. Wildly recommend to anyone that is looking for a fun, delicious place to eat.
The place looks like you will be cool just from being seen there. The atmosphere and vibe is relaxed and fun, the staff friendly, and food served up before you have a chance to say wheres the grub?The food however makes you realize that you arent cool and then you remember Five Guys serves a better burger.
Not a fan of this burger joint. The place is dirty and needs updating. The burger itself was good but over priced. Sides are over priced as well. Do yourself a favor and find a burger else where.Funny story, while I was there, a customer ordered a beer at the register downstairs. It took the cashier and the other guy walking around behind the counter about 5 minutes to find a bottle opener. Luckily an employee walked by with one on their key ring. Kind of sad if you ask me.Pro:Good sweet potato friesCons:Everything elseFood not that greatService not that greatDirty floor and tablesOver priced
Poor To Go Ordering Experience in store and lackluster inventory management. Have been out of hot dogs, or hot dog buns on my last 3 visits. Forgot Fries on two orders and on my last order of 2 burgers, 2 hot dogs and 2 fries forgot a burger and a dog and the fries exactly 50% of the order lol. I am just glad I checked in the parking lot before heading out. If all I ordered were sweet potato fries and dined in I would be 5 stars. I should mention I did receive a burger card because I ended up waiting 30 mins for half my order and then coming back, and getting the other half including cold dry hot dogs. Would recommend eating in if you go here as my dine in experience was better, but they were still out of items.
Great food interesting costumers great workers thats all you need to know
Been frequenting Grindhouse for quite some time now and have yet to be disappointed. Service is good and consistent. Food is great and Id say Grindhouse has one of the best burgers in Athens and as an avid burger lover it pleases me greatly to have a place like Grindhouse here in Athens and I will be continuing to visit it for some time to come!
Ok, I love this place. The burgers are delicious 9 times out of 10. I love that you can build them however you want. Their mixed drinks are awesome. Bloody Mary anyone? Yes please! The veggie (black bean) patty is super tasty! I like the idea of playing silly B movies all the time, but it seems like lately, they have 1 small TV in the ordering area playing something cool and the rest are all on sports channels. Please play fun movies and leave the sports to the 1000 other bars in town. Pretty please?
Good spot for burgers in Athens. The upstairs area is great for watching the big game and of course you can smoke as well. I like the Grindhouse Lager for its drinkability and price point. All the burgers Ive had here are excellent and the sides are delicious. I personally recommend the Dixie burger!
The burgers are small and even though my husband and I where the only people there service took forever! When our food finally came out mine was burned on the outside and wasnt done on the inside. I told the waiter and showed him he disagreed with me and said it was done! There was pinkish red juices coming from it and you could taste the raw meat!! We went because we had gift cards but wont be going back ever. Even if I was given more gift cards again!
Great, we got to see our grandsons that is going to UGA and also have a awesome burger. Cant get any better than that. Thanks Killer Burger.
Excellent burgers with interesting flavor combinations. I had the Hillbilly burger, jalapeno, pimiento cheese and chili. Delicious! Downstairs is mixed service, order at the counter then the food is brought to the table. Upstairs is table service. For those who like beer they have an interesting selection.
I rarely have to wait when Im picking up delivery orders at grindhouse
Love Grindhouse. I would eat there every week if I could. Good selection of beers on tap. The outdoor area is nice. The burgers are amazing and so are the sides. They have good drink specials and the booze shakes are to die for.
The seating area was freezing. Uncomfortablly cold. No heat at all. The burger was okay but I ordered and paid for a boozy shake and there was no alcohol in it. I just paid and left. I dont wanna go back
Simple menu but they do everything perfectly. I love the black bean burger with chipotle mayo. They also have a full bar and great beer selection. The milkshakes are great but I would advise not getting a boozy one if you are a light drinker. They are a little heavy handed on the liquor.
Decent place for burgers. Good milkshakes. Workers are efficient and helpful. Fries are delicious with ketchup. No place to dine outdoors if it rains. Impossible burger is worth trying. Price is $$. Great place to take your parents, friends, or significant other. Cool upstairs bar area that overlooks Lumpkin.
The food here is ok. Nice patio space upstairs. Good for gatherings. Restaurant strictly follows CDC covid guidelines. They all wore masks, sanitized after each patron and had tables marked off to accommodate social distancing.
The first we ate there was good, Im vegetarian so I had the impossible burger and it was so good.We went back last night and unfortunately they were out of the impossible burger, so I had to get the veggie burger. This is the second time Ive had their veggie burger. It always falls apart and I couldnt even finish it. My boyfriends burger was raw even though they didnt ask him how he wanted it cooked. We looked at 3 different areas to sit at and all 3 were dirty. The fries were delicious, though.
Food was good. Staff was good
Basic little burgers, GF bun option, not GF fries, shared use fryers. Impossible burger option not much different than burger King, my expectations were too high to be fair. I ordered the Impossible w/avocado, onions, pickles, lettuce for $10. A couple neo retro movie posters for decor and the sonic youth playing was nice.
Best burger in town in my opinion the drinks are great and adult milkshakes how can you go wrong
I went with my nephew. I wish we could have watched NFL upstairs. Burgers were delicious.
Afternoon staff wasnt very eager to help and did not greet. They just stood in a huddle and spoke amongst themselves. I had to ask to place an order. I like the look of the bathroom. Looks like a horror movie theme.Night staff was very friendly. I cant speak to the quality of food because I only picked up food for delivery.Food must be good because each time, there were lots of customers.
Great food with a decent atmosphere. Just had a pretty long wait for food with not that many customers in the store.
One of the best joints in town to grab a juicy burger. You can customize every step from the patty (beef, chicken, or vegan), to the toppings and sauces. It’s a dive-style restaurant, with indoor seating below and a partly outdoor upper floor. Environment is relaxed. I’ve had the veggie burger (the black bean?) which was actually disappointing to me, but also the beef which was near perfect. Definitely worth a try.
Very disappointed this evening with party of 6!! Never waited longer or received such poorly prepared food from this Athens location. Waited about 45 minutes for food and then all 3 fry orders and two onion ring order were cold. Burgers were burned. Were never asked when ordering how we wanted our burgers cooked. Received about half the quantity of chips with blue cheese dip as usual. Poorly run operation this evening 4/16/19. FYI, placed order at 6:37 PM downstairs. BTW, first tried to contact management from website to give them heads up on poorly managed operation but the email link was not working. So sorry to see this restaurant heading downhill!
Incredibly disappointed! I ordered one burger and fries to go and sat directly across from the cashier to wait. And boy did I wait! I waited for over an hour, watching the group that ordered AFTER me get their food, eat, and then leave! I went over to the cashier three times to check on my order and she kept telling me it wasnt ready yet. Then when I asked why it was taking so long, she had the audacity it get mad at me for being impatient. When I FINALLY got my food, the fries were cold and the bun was soggy. I ordered avocado on my burger and there was only one single slice of avocado. I paid $1.50 extra for one measly slice? I dont think so! This is the worst experience Ive had at this restaurant. Rude staff, long wait. The ONLY reason Id ever go back is for the vegan options but Id just have to know to set my expectations VERY low.
The Cowboy style burger was very good. The service at the upstairs bathroom by Jackie was even better. Great conversation and great drinks during midday. I recommend this to anyone wanting a burger in Athens. Better than Clocked!
Really wanted to grab a burger and drinks here before the game but they wouldnt let us unless we paid $30 for a parking spot for 15 minutes, according to the manager. Manager is clearly not business inclined, they could have obtained our business, waiters received tips, and sold the parking spot 15 min later but instead they turned down our business, and got a negative review. The Atlanta location has great burgers though. We went next door to Cali N Titos, where they were extremely friendly and gladly allowed us to park and eat before the game. Hopefully the manager here will think twice before turning down paying customers next time!
Burgers are awesome, and the fries are good too. A tad overpriced, but most burger places are these days! Even though this location caters to the college crowd, we appreciate that they have ample high chairs and that the downstairs area is kid friendly.
Grindhouse makes it easy for anyone to go out and enjoy a burger and a drink. The various burger styles are fun to try and the broad range of toppings presents endless possibilities. Speaking from personal experience the veggie burgers are fantastic and there is always something good on tap.
Great burger. I had the Yankee burger with no bun. They give you nice lettuce and mixed greens. The Bleu cheese was melted and very tasty. Out a little Sriracha and that was it. Burger tasted good but was a little small. Maybe because I got the junior. They do have a double patty order for each kind of burger you get. But. I feel itll be busy to junior patties put together. Not sure. Still, great place to go.
The food is good; HOWEVER, the staff at the bar upstairs is simply rude! One female employee literally rolled her eyes in front of me when asked if she could charge my card after already waiting a while. I waited about another 10 minutes and she made no effort to charge it (Needless to say, I was seating at the bar in front of the cash register). I was tired of waiting, so I took the check downstairs to pay instead. As I was walking away she literally yelled at me and accused me of not paying. I told her I was going to pay downstairs and she was still trying to pick a fight. I simply walked away and paid downstairs. The whole encounter was so unprofessional on her part!Overall, the food is good BUT the staff upstairs ruined my night!
I have never had a bad experience at the Athens location, and the food is consistently really good. However, tonight (12/27/19) I tried to sit at a wide-open bar and was told by the bartender that a group had been sitting there, but they were out smoking and would be back shortly. I was taken aback, for surely, there was room for little ole’ me. I guess she didn’t want to upset them and potentially affect her tip. Especially since I was alone, and definitely wouldn’t tip like a big group would. Well, Whitley (Whitney?), you just cost Grindhouse a customer, because I left and went down the street to a superior competitor. So, the low score tonight is for the bartender. If I hadn’t been starving, I might not have been so offended, but I was really craving the black bean burger, but refused to stay after the poor service.
LOTS of burger joints out there...this one may be the best! The service was excellent and food came quick even though they were fairly busy. They had several pre-built choices and you can construct your own as well. I had the one with blue cheese and cooked medium and wow! Right on target even down to the bun. Yeah, the bun was awesome. Fries? You bet. Hot and fresh with just the right amount of salt.. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is that the single burger was not quite as much food as I expected. But the taste... Mmmmm! Ok I’m ready to go back and get a double.
Grindhouse has some of the best burgers Ive ever eaten. Extremely tender beef with high quality ingredients and toppings. The milkshakes and fries are top notch too. I love the place. I take all my friends and family there. Youll probably love the place. Try it!
We had the grind house burger, veggie burger, fries, and a peach milkshake. The burgers are small. Fries are crinkly which arent my favorite. These were acceptable tho. The service was painfully slow even though it wasnt busy. The milkshake was one of the worst Ive ever had. Way to sweet and the consistency was not right. It tasted more like a peach dreamsicle instead of a milkshake.
Good burgers but terrible frozen fries. Really nice atmosphere and seating areas both upstairs and downstairs (upstairs is outside and half covered). Okay beer selection. My biggest complaint is their fries which taste store-bought and oven-cooked
Good food. I got two Impossible Burgers with two patties each. They were delicious but expensive. Each patty is $2.50 extra. What?! So for the four patties I got, I was charged an additional $10. Not cool. BurgerFi doesnt charge any extra for the Beyond Burger, which is just as tasty. Not sure if Id go back for the Impossible Burger. There are plenty of other options out there.
Fast service, awesome bartender! The food was amazing! Best burger Ive had in a long time! The Cheesy Poofs and fried pickles are fantastic! $1 grindhouse lager during happy hour is a bonus! Will definitely be going back!
Decent enough burgers, but a bit overpriced. I had a burger with grilled onions, mushrooms, and cheddar cheese, but the patty itself was lacking in flavor. I also ordered a double on which there was a pitiful amount of shredded lettuce and onion. The place was clean and makes for a great place to either sit alone or as a large group.
This place rocks! Food and service was excellent.
The burger was good but thats about it. Sat up at the bar area and never got service. Moved downstairs to order at the counter and service was better. The drink machine was out of service due to a CO2 issue. The fries were ice cold. The cole slaw was brown and inedible. I wont be returning and cant imagine this place will make it much longer.
Unfortunately, I cant come up with any positives about my visit. The service was rude. My medium burger was more than well done and my daughters kids burger was literally as thick as a shingle and about 2 diameter. The sad part was we brought it to their attention and the one they brought back was cooked even more. It was so dry it broke apart when I touched it. I hate to leave bad reviews, but something needs to be done to fix the attitude problems and overcooked food here.
With peace and love can y’all please start filling up the cups of sauce to the top? every time i get a sauce from y’all it’s a quarter of the way full...and y’all charge for them lol
Great food...horrible music!
Not only do I continue to come back for their food, but their Wednesday trivia is the best in town! Their trivia host Garret has the best voice on a microphone, and the questions are so fun for the team to answer! I wouldn’t think twice about coming here. Their trivia nights are busy, but what else would you expect with an amazing game!? Worth every penny, and every second of wait time.
Burger was great and cooked to perfection. Fries were a little bit of a disappointment. Not they were bad. But they were just straight from the bag to the fryer crinkle cut. Expected more of a 5 Guys fresh cut to go with such a great burger.
First time here and we arrived around 4p which was a slow time. We were told we could sit downstairs and order at the bar and self serve our go upstairs with a server. We went upstairs and found it to be a smoking section too. Seemed stage to have the only selling area also the only smoking area. We stayed and ordered and I have to say the burger, fries and shake were fantastic. I look forward to reading here again but this time will just go to the self serve downstairs to stay away from the smoke. Would have been 5 starts if we would have been told about the smoking.
Great college town bar and grill featuring some of the best burgers that I have eaten. Excellent decor, good service. I asked for recommendations, Ive been ordered the cowboy burger. I was not disappointed.
Great burgers! Fantastic selection of beers on tap & bottles. Ate on the covered patio. Service and food were top notch. Will be back!
Walked in and the place was obviously dirty. No one acknowledged us after waiting for almost 10 minutes. Several employees walked by us but no one engaged the entire time until we finally walked out.
Been there several times, friendly staff, great burgers and I love the veggie burger, even as a meat eater. The Grindhouse lager is a steal, and also pretty good beer. Theres trivia on Wednesday nights, sometimes its themed. Great place!
I always loved to this place. Me and my girlfriend would go there often to enjoy the bar upstairs and the burgers. The last time we went we brought our child and we were turned away from an empty room with no other customers in it because we had a baby with us. Though I love this place I wont be returning.
Love the sweet potato fries. Not a huge fan of chocolate malts because they taste like they’re missing the chocolate? The atmosphere on the patio is fantastic on warm nights. Kind employees too!
Awsome burgers. Little pricey if you get a double and a side. All burgers are cooked to order. You choose your toppings and sides and they bring it to your table. I reccomend the grindhouse sauce which is like a thousand island type sauce. Full bar upstairs. And i think o saw boozy milkshakes if thats how you roll.
Here on new years eve for about the 10th visit this year, I normally enjoy the food. However, today the service is poor enough to get an online rating. The food looks great and is delicious as always but the service and apathy are truly ruining this restaurant for me. I recommend going to groove burgers over this place, comparable menu and great burgers but a much better serving environment.
We sat upstairs which is also outside so I could bring my puppy. I had a veggie burger and my mom had an impossible burger which is vegan and very delicious just like meat. First burger Ive had in a while so it was a good experience. Everyone was super nice to us and my puppy.
Received the best experience here last night that anyone could ask for. We ended up ordering food through a 3rd party and it got delivered incorrectly, It was not Grindhouse a fault at all. But we drove up there to let them know of the other companies mistake, and without hesitation was willing to remake the whole order, even though Grindhouse was not responsible for this. I think the managers name was Kendra proceeded to keep in conversation with us while we enjoyed a beer and waiting for our fresh order. She kindly invited us to trivia night outside upstairs. What turned from a frustrating situation into a better night was the management here at Grindhouse. We ordered It to go and decided to change It to staying and playing trivia. This is a 100% recommended place to eat at if you love great food and amazing staff! Thanks Grindhouse
I love Grindhouse! My favorite burger is the Gringo but I have yet to try them all. Atmosphere is great with a sports bar feel. The suds keep flowing, all the while you will come back you are knowing.
This review is for the ordering process. The on-line/to-go process is not easy. The on-line platform is not functional in several ways; specifically with regards to finding specific items on the menu, adding extras to, and general navigation and payment. Tonight the app decided to just not wirk.
Great burgers and dogs, went here after a long day and was definitely satisfied. Some quality food. The shakes are also good and if you want to there is 21+ seating upstairs that can be fun if you wanted to take advantage of it.
Great Burgers to choose from and also can build your own burger. And once you try the Grindhouse sauce you will never want any other sauces.
2nd time eating at Grindhouse. The burger I had was undercooked, tasted cold honestly. Fries were ok, fried green tomatoes were better. Honestly, I expected more from a place that had been recommended by several people. I only eat beef once every 3 months & I had to waste it on this. Shouldve gotten a steak elsewhere.
A little pricier for a burger joint, but tasty. Not sure why they ask for your burger temp when a medium looks like well-done. better for food safety, I guess.
SOOOOOO good! Got the impossible burger and so far, they have the best impossible burger I have had out of all the other places. Thanks so much for being awesome!
Great casual burger joint. They have a lot of options as far as burger, sides, and shakes. The fried pickles taste amazing! And an even better selection for adults. The staff was quick and friendly.
Best burger I have ever had in my 25 years on this earth. I thought Clocked was the best Burger in town until these guys came along. They have a nice patio when the weather is nice, and even have bag toss. I know they do trivia as well.
Their veggie burger is so good I dont order the meat one. My friend had the Impossible burger and said it was over cooked. I brought my client here who has a special diet and an intellegectual difference and the staff treated us very well. I love this place and will be returning for my next burger.
We stopped by on our way through town to grab som lunch after hearing about it from several different media. My wife and i both had turkey burgers and they were delicious!! We also got the sweet potatoe fries, and they had to be some of the best sweet potatoe fries either of us has ever had! My one thing about the meal was that a lettuce wrap was more of a salad than a wrap. It had some nice lettuce at the bottome of a bowl wirh everything piled on top. It was still really tasty, I just felt misinformed by it.
Overall the food was eh just okay I wanted my burger well done. Definitely was not.
Very greasy and bland burger, prices are for a top notch burger place but burger I had had little to no flavor, I had the Euro burger without lettuce or mayo, even the mushrooms were bland. Not sure if the fries are frozen or not but they did seem to be and not fresh cut. Just not impressed.
I have given this place several chances but this is it. I got the cheese Poofs, they tasted horrible and the dipping sauce was either sour or properly mixed...or just damn bad. The burger is the best thing they offer, but I found mine to be slapped together, lacking proper preparation. This yet ANOTHER Athens restaurant that rides high on its location and outdoor roof top seating. For a standalone building and such an investment, from a restaurant perspective, your food needs to improve.
The burgers were good, a little smaller than expected. Very clean and tidy atmosphere. Staff were great and very friendly. Parking was not fun.
This is our second bad experience at Grindhouse -- a shame because, though I really want to support a neighborhood business, I doubt we will come back. The concept is good (restaurant below, bar above), the design is cool but the execution is abysmal. Our burgers were mediocre at best, my fries were stone cold, my husbands onion wings were definitely not fresh. Heavy metal was blaring so loud that my toddler (who likes to rock) started crying. It was 6pm and the there were 4 other tables, all of which were families. I asked them to turn the music down and got a chilly response. We all wanted to flee two bites into our meal. Sadly, this experience mirrors our last visit in April.
Gave this place another try after being underwhelmed the first time . Ordered 2 burgers Frings and a kids meal. Rude customer service at the start.Buns were cold , burgers meat almost undetectable , sautéed mushrooms there were 3 . Kids meal was inedible , small chunk of burned meat with a 1/2 piece of cheese. Went up to ask if they could do one not burned to charcoal and came back with one that was worse . Will NEVER go back and will let everyone know this place isn’t worth the drive or $ .Go to McDonalds at least your child won’t be served charcoal .wish I could post the photo of the pathetic burger
We ordered three beef burgers for pick up and specifically asked for each of the burgers to be well done, as the burgers were for our three kids and we were trying to prevent any risk of food-borne illness. All three burgers arrived raw on the inside.
Dixie burger was fantastic, sweet potato fries were awesome. The place was a little dirty but it was GDay in Athens so I am giving them a bit of a break on that. They are keeping up the tradition of great burger joints in Athens.
I think its a little pricey for what it is, but the food is pretty good. I always get the Cowboy Style burger with one patty. I really like the seasoning on the fries.
Great burgers! Fries were good and the drinks were cold. The dining area was completely clean and everyone was very friendly. For a burger joint, who could ask for more?
Good fries and burgers. Fried pickles not the best but its all good! Happy to try something unique to Athens.
I was not at all impressed with the hamburger. Ive had frozen ones that taste better. The fries were good but iced tea had NO flavor. I would not eat here again.
The best burger I have ever eaten!!! Their fries had the best seasoning!!! I look forward to going back soon!!!
Fantastic food ordered the Dixie style burger with fries
The burger was good quality and tasted good, the service was good and quick. It is not quite the best burgerr though, there are places in Atlanta that are better, but the fries here were excellent!
The burger was pretty good, not the best I have had but good. I enjoyed the atmosphere and it was trivia night. Beer prices were not bad. Overall a good experience. Service can be slow at times.
I have had other Turkey burgers and they all taste pretty boring. Grindhouse has definitely switched things up for me. Love the location and the food. Everything is always fresh! 💖
I usually go for the trivia nights on Monday, and the burgers are half off. The burgers are always good and so is the beer. It is, however, a little over priced at its normal prices. However, trivia, beer, and half off burgers makes it an easy choice for a Monday night meal. The biggest problem is that parking can be a hassle.
I always get a gringo style turkey burger and sweet potato fries, and I probably always will. They do turkey right, as Im sure they do beef right too! Their house beer is all right, but its $2 so what do you want? Blue Moon is on tap though so Im good!
Best burgers in Athens. Period.Go eat. Whichever you choose, get your mouth melted away and grab a beer while enjoying a game, a movie or just nice music.
Although my burger was delicious, the price for the meal really kept me from enjoying it. The portions are about half of what you pay for! Otherwise, its a nice atmosphere with unique food.
Good burgers, neat atmosphere, reasonable prices. I could stop in here for twice what youd pay for a meal at McDonalds, get a great burger (cooked to order!) with fries and some of their (quite good) in-house lager, along with some entertainment. Give em a try!
Relaxed, fun, good food. Build-your-burger allows for a variety of tasty creations for any palate. Especially nice to have options other than ground beef too.
Amazing burgers so far good place to come.. ATL to Ath
Grind house Killer Burgers is HANDS Down my favorite Burger Stop. I have visited and reviewed the Atlanta location. The Athens location has all of the same features( the food is AMAZING) but ALSO has a rooftop deck with a bar. with both indoor and outdoor seating options.. i didnt think it would be possible to improve on the Atlanta location but the roof deck certainly knocks it out of the park!
Went to have lunch today and was told I couldn’t eat because I had my infant daughter with me and no ones allowed under 21 years of age. Since when? What kind of parent do you think I am? I’ll be taking my business elsewhere for now own!
I really enjoyed coming here because you are creating your burger from scratch. You must choose the type of patty and a variety of different toppings, and if you are 21 years or older they have a full service bar on the top floor of the building.
Food was great drinks were awesome prices are fair if youre hungry go with the double but great experience overall
Well tonight was interesting. The food is always good and was good tonight. The service tonight however was something extra special. After we received our food I noticed on my wifes burger some spots on her bun that looked like it could be mold. We werent sure so showed to the runner that brought the food for some other people we were eating with. He looked at said he couldnt tell but it was probably something from the glove. I assume the glove is what was being worn by those that prepare the food. He seemed content leaving the burger as is. I told him we wanted another one. He responded as though he was agitated in having to replace the bun but took the food. When he returned he dropped the plate on the table, said nothing, and left. My wife at this point was afraid to eat the food not knowing what may have done to it after the attitude and simply gave it back it. Nothing more was said. As we were leaving he was outside smoking in the back and my son overheard him complaining about dealing with us. I wont bore you with the details but we did confront him for how he acted. He threatened to call the police. He told us he was busy so I guess too busy to deal with the issue.The reality is we werent mad and all we wanted was a new bun. Regardless of what the spots may have been we just wanted new bun. He was a jerk and one that I would fire on the spot if he worked In my business.
Too pricey for the money. The batter on the onion rings was dreadful! The burger was dry and bland, cheese wasnt even melted on the burger and the price was outrageous. Wont be going back, what a waste of money.
Love the Burgers, the Brussels were delicious I would definitely revisit, everything was flavored just perfect.
Place was great and beer was cheap. The wife and I ate upstairs and were taken care of wonderfully by the waitress and bartender. The food was dang good too and they serve you a ton of it. Ill be back definitely
I went here with my family when they visited Athens and it was over all an under whelming experience. The service was slow and they had an employee serving tables that was on crutches. Not a great image for the restaurant. The food clearly had been sitting out a while before it was brought to our table because it wasn’t very warm. There was no soap in the bathroom either and it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned recently at all.
My husband and I always meet family here for trivia night (I would not reccomend bringing children to, some would think the guy that runs it says inappropriate things for anyone under 18) but the trivia is great if you do not have kids or want to come without your kids. The service is good for such a large crowd.
Very good, visit my daughter in Athens and went here for lunch.Lack of parking but plenty of room inside.
Great food. Defiantly one of my top choices for burgers. They have a wide variety of options, especially if you want to eat healthier.
Quite Tasty burgers, and their house beer is pretty good and def cheap. While Im too much of an omnivore to spring for the increased cost of it, several vegetarians I know and respect will Swear By their impossible Burger option.
Good selection of burgers. onion rings are tasty, fries are bigger crinkle fries, which are no big deal. theyd do better to cut their own fries fresh.
Upstairs is beautiful and the food is always good!
Burgers were good but nothing special. The sweet potato fries were the best part of the meal. Food took a while to come out but def will be going back in the future.
This place is amazing. Great burgers. Meat is delicious! Best burger I have had. They have a multitude of burger options as well as a great shake selection.
Great food. Had the Hillbilly burger & fries, both were hot & delicious.
Grindhouse is one of those Must Visit Athens local restaurants that, for whatever reason, isnt in downtown. Its horror themed (hence, Grindhouse) and theyve usually got some kind of niche or cult movie showing on the projector inside. Upstairs is a cool rooftop bar.The burgers, are, well... KILLER {as advertised}. Theyre all made to order, and its a pick-your-poison (and toppings) style, order up front, then seat yourself kind of place. The food has always been amazing, and the grindhouse sauce is so good, I could probably drink it. Definitely ask for extra, for the fries!
I think one of the best burgers in the area. Good beer selection too. My wife enjoys the cocktails too. Parking can be a problem when it gets real busy though.
The Burger i had was blanded could have had some seasoning but didnt the fries was good it was my first time there im from out of town n my sister n her hubby are Vegan n they even said the burgers wasnt all that great
So good! Quick & delicious! We forgot how great their burgers are! It was a wonderful, family friendly night out.
Great burgers and fries! And the portions happily between small and gluttonous. And they serve Dr Pepper!! Couldnt name a single song I heard but it was a rockin atmosphere.
Great place for lunch! Everything social distanced and my cowboy burger was awesome! Loved our server too!
The burgers are awesome. The only problem I have is the prices are for burgers only. For fries and drink, there is an extra fee.. The size of the burgers could be a little larger with their prices... Great food and atmosphere..
Just ordered through UberEats and got my food. Burger was good, but they forgot to include the drink in my order. When youre #poorcollegestudent status and contemplating whether you should even add a drink, its super depressing when it never comes.
Yeah that was awful from start to finish, wasn’t busy and waited forever for them to acknowledge us. Took over 20 minutes to get my food and when i did finally get it they gave me meat instead of a veggie burger and made me wait another 15 while they fixed it. Oh this whole time we were waiting for ranch that we asked 2 different people for. Yeah not worth it
The burgers are very small but definitely delicious. Quite pricey but worth it if youre not on a budget
They have best vegetarian burgers. Their shakes are to die for
2 burgers were medium/well instead of well done. Onion wings were over cooked. NOT worth the money!
Awesome burgers, fries and shakes. Easy parking. Good prices too especially for the burgers.
The only place we go for a good burger! Probably one of the coolest burger places with a nice inviting staff. Not to mention their fried pickles are amazing.
A pretty solid burger. Its nothing to write home about, but for the price its pretty tasty. Good atmosphere too!

2021-08-05Not a fan of the fried pickle style here but could see some liking the thick style cut. The ranch dressing is delicious and I’m a huge fan of the burgers and fries here. The burgers are always cooked to perfection instead of being over cooked and dry and they never forget the double cheese that I order. Love this place.

2022-01-14Rainy dinner at Grindhouse. The burgers we had were average, nothing great to mention. The fries are crinkle cut w/ no seasoning. A little breezy upstairs under covered patio.

2021-08-16Awesome burger, I had a double cheese burger with Bacon,lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles. It was cooked perfect and had a lot of flavor, the fries were good I would definitely recommend if in the area

2021-07-18First time dining and it did not disappoint. The burger was flavorful and the fries perfectly salted. Loved how quick our food came out and it didn’t break the bank.Service was a little confusing and the one cashier seemed to get backed up quickly.Will definitely be back again.

2021-07-31I would give Grindhouse 10 stars if I could. Hands down the best tasting burger and fries and onion rings Ive had anywhere, period. Service is always great. If youre anywhere near a Grindhouse, stop asking your wife, What do you want to eat? Having relationship/marriage problems? Take her to Grindhouse! Just got an awful medical diagnosis? Go to Grindhouse! Bored? Go to Grindhouse! Just blew your big interview? Go to Grindhouse! Bad service at Grindhouse? Go to a different Grindhouse! Just had a new baby? Take him to Grindhouse! In laws visiting? Take them to Grindhouse! 3 hour layover at the airport? Go to Grindhouse in the airport!Im pretty sure Grindhouse is the answer to all of lifes problems as well as celebrating all of lifes achievements. If you want a really good burger and fries, GO TO GRINDHOUSE!!

2022-04-04This place continues to have amazing food and excellent service. Im usually upstairs (21+) a few days a week and theyve never disappoint. Multiple TVs showing various sports and news, great burgers and drinks. Im a meat-atarian, but I even enjoy their veggie patty!

2021-01-22I thought the burger was good and the fries where cooked good with a light seasoned salt flavor. The bun is a sweet bun, which I like. I also liked the style of the patty. Its the thick kind with a nice sear on the outside. The problem was the size. It was either one or two 1/4 pound patties. I think a 1/3 pound patty would be best. The 1/2 pound is just a little too much and with the 1/4 pound patty they have to make it with a small circumference to get the thickness, hence the smaller bun. All in all the flavors were great and I’ll eat here again for sure.

2022-05-18Cobb salad was huge and perfect. No cash accepted so be prepared for that. Lady taking our order was matter of fact and efficient. Not exactly friendly, but not unfriendly either. 🤔 Will eat here again for sure.

2022-05-24Burgers were tasty but small. Like a junior cheeseburger from Wendys. Order a double if you want to be full. Onion rings were barely breaded and extra crisp.
