    My first time here and it was great My daughter loves this place It was a bit busy but we were able to find a seat at the counter after placing our order You order and pay first Service was great we received our food pretty quickly Everything was delicious I really enjoyed my food I would definitely go back again

    Blackened chicken, mixed veggies and couscous
    Eric G.

    I used to come here fairly often many years ago, and came back for the first time in awhile. Verdict is it's just as good, just more expensive of course! The blackened chicken is cooked well and juicy. The mixed veggies and couscous are what you'd expect. Not very flavorful on their own but that's sort of expected. The tomato pesto adds enough flavor for me. It was enough food probably for two meals if you stretch it or add more protein at home. Overall if you're looking for a healthy lunch or dinner this is a great spot and you won't be disappointed. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating, and service is quick and friendly... And it's in the village so tons of stuff to do around.

    Chicken with potatoes and lemon garlic sauce...and a cold pint

    Dr Grubb's has perfected the basics which makes is very easy to understand their menu and to enjoy a healthy, delicious meal. Basically, pick a protein and a base/side and a sauce. Boom! Perfection! I had the chicken and potatoes and my wife had steak and vegetables. Both were great. The lemon garlic sauce was otherworldly. Go here. Get Grub. Leave happy and full.

    The owner and staff here are AWESOME. The service was honestly some of the best I've had, and everyone was so friendly that it felt like being around longtime friends. The food is delicious, and you really can't skip the salmon or the chicken for your protein. Make sure to try the potatoes and the penne pasta at least once, especially with the jalapeño garlic sauce. Everything was absolutely delicious. Between the great food, welcoming atmosphere, and genuinely kind people, this place really stands out. The prices are super reasonable for the portions and quality, and I would definitely come back again and again and again and again!

    Dr. Grubb's is located in the Claremont Village. Parking can be a challenge. Small parking lot behind the restaurant shared with other businesses. On that Friday night, I ended up parking at the nearby Bank of America lot where everybody else was parking. Wowza, Dr. Grubb's is one hot and healthy grab-n-go and/or sit-n-chill restaurant to eat at on any given day of the week! Lots of inside bench style and bar stool seatings plus romantic patio seating. Self-serve fountain drink station with tea options. You grab your own utensils and condiments. I love the self-service concept! Menu offers a well balanced variety of proteins such as chicken, salmon, shrimp, steak, and tofu along with solid good sides in rice, veggies, pasta, and salad plus a unique blend of sauces of your choice. You may get them in combo or a la carte style. Cool beans! Blackened salmon with baby potatoes and vegetable medley was personally recommended by the owner, Hader. He was super friendly and very hospitable. His overall staff was exceptional, too. Thank you sir for the amazing meal + drink! The entire plate did not disappoint. Huge thin slab of flaky, tender, and moist blackened salmon on top of the best two sides... perfectly steamed sweet veggies featuring zucchini, carrots, green beans, baby corn, and broccoli and well seasoned roasted baby potatoes with fresh herbs and spices. Tasted so good! I wanted more of it. Highly recommend! I couldn't help myself and ordered one more blackened salmon plate with vegetable medley and penne pasta to-go. My eldest daughter loved it! Can't wait to return to Dr. Grubb's for more yummy and delicious grub. See you at Dr. Grubb's!

    At a recent Yelp event, we had Dr. Grubbs catering. We were offered a complimentary meal from the manager at the event, so my friend and I recently came by to redeem our meal after a long morning hike. We found the restaurant pretty easily, but parking is another issue. I guess it doesn't help that we came on a Sunday when we were competing with patrons of the Claremont farmers market down the street. The restaurant is spacious with plenty of seating indoors and out. The menu is pretty simple: pick a protein, a side (or 1/2 and 1/2) and a house made sauce. I LOVE that the prices were fair and portions were good - I'm sure the local college kids appreciate that too. They also offer a variety of beer and wine. Self serve fountain drinks are available for purchase or with a meal. My friend got the grilled shrimp with vegetables and penne pasta, and I got the blackened shrimp with vegetables and brown rice. I got the jalapeño garlic sauce with my meal. The shrimp arrives with 6 shrimp on a skewer. The staff was kind enough to offer us samples of different sauces to try (Lemon Thyme Vinaigrette, Lemon Garlic, Garlic Apple Aioli, and Jalapeño Garlic), but I have to say that jalapeño garlic is still my favorite! The food is really good, and honestly tastes very fresh and home made - like something I make in my own kitchen. Service was super friendly, they were quick to come by and wipe down a table for us, and various staff came by a few times to check on us. I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu!

    After tasting their delicious food at an Elite Yelp event, I knew I had to come to the restaurant to try their other food. We ordered the Meyer's Flat Iron Steak, the Fire Grilled Shrimp, and the Blackened Chicken. All were so delicious! Everything was cooked to perfection. It was a bit of a wait for our foods, but it was worth it. They were a bit busy the night we came for dinner. But the staffs were very friendly and that made up for it. You order the food at the front counter and they bring the food to your table. They have a bar seating. Several tables inside. They also have a nice outdoor seating with heaters for the cold nights. The restaurant is nice and clean. Will definitely come back again. Next time, I'm going to try their Asian Salad. Looks yummy.

    We came by to redeem a voucher we were given by the owner from a previous Yelp Event. It was for a free entrees of choice. The location is in heart of the downtown Claremont. We found some parking in the back of the restaurant. The restaurant is lively and energetic. There's bar seating and a lot of tables. We opted for the blackened shrimp and the blackened salmon. We also ordered extra items to help support the business. The plates of food are generously portioned. Their food is specialized in healthy eating. I appreciated the grill marks on the shrimp. The proteins, veggies and rice were all cooked and seasoned well. For a healthy dish, this wasn't bland. They offer sauces that complement the dishes as well. Although the blackened shrimp was good, I found myself wanting to reach over and eat more my husband's Blackened Salmon dish. I recommended Dr. Grubb's and I'd come by again to pay full price an another plate of food.

    Blackened Salmon. Freaking delicious!

    Dr Grubb's was legit! My wife and I came by to redeem a complimentary meal voucher from the owner from a previous Yelp Event. The location is at Claremont Village and we found some parking behind the business at a BofA since it was after hours. You enter and order at the register and they will bring the food to you. The staff here were unbelievably friendly and kind. We ordered another side and a drink to support the business as well. The location has a bar and many tables. There's plenty of TVs for sports and music playing so the vibe is upbeat. We got the Blackened Salmon, Blackened Shrimp with sides of Herb Brown Rice & Broccoli. Sauces we chose were the Tomato Pesto, Jalapeno Garlic & Lemon Garlic. We also got a side of Bowtie Pasta. The pasta was served literally within seconds. Our entrees were delivered shortly after. These entrees were so appetizing and the whole plates were full. My Blackened Salmon was amazing. The flavor and charring was on point. The portions were hefty and we ended up having leftovers. The health conscious entrees most definitely delivered. It doesn't feel like you're sacrificing all the flavors to make each dish "healthy". The food was really that good. I highly recommend coming by to Dr. Grubb's for great tasting healthy food! I look forward to eating here again. ( ^_^)b

    Blackened Salmon and Doc's Herb Marinated Chicken
    Anna H.

    After attending a Yelp event and trying out Dr. Grubb's, it was so good, I had to come back! We came for dinner on a Thursday night prior to attending a movie premier in the area and Dr. Grubb's was busy but luckily we did not have to wait for a table. I order the blackened salmon combo which comes with a side (baby potatoes) but you can split it and get two sides so I also chose couscous and a sauce (jalapeno garlic). WOW, that blackened salmon was amazing. Now I know to get everything blackened. We also order the herb chicken and regretted not getting the blackened chicken instead. The sides were pretty generous and had some leftovers to take back. Friendly and attentive service. Parking in free lots are available in the back. Highly recommend and would definitely be back.

    New menu on the wall. Delicious as always, grilled salmon, broccoli and penne pasta-- I meant to order blackened salmon but it's been awhile so I forgot. It was ready in 20 minutes for pickup and the staff that greeted me was so smiley and helpful that I felt very welcomed and glad to have decided to order takeout tonight. The jalapeño garlic and lemon garlic sauce are the best! Pretty full and busy at dinner time tonight-- so glad they continue to do well! Glad to have healthy options for takeout!

    Complimentary sauces: lemon garlic, jalapeño garlic, garlic aioli, & lemon thyme vinaigrette

    My friend and I came to redeem our complimentary meal from a Yelp Event. It was a perfect meal after a long hike in the Claremont Wilderness. The sampling was delicious at the Yelp Event and even better at the restaurant. My friend and I both ordered shrimp (grilled and blackened) as our protein with veggies, brown rice, and penne pasta (so good) as our two sides. The sides were very generous. For our sauce, we ordered the jalapeño garlic and garlic aioli (my favorite). The staff was very friendly and attentive. They came around twice to check on us. Our food came out quite fast. Highly recommend and need to come back with my family.

    Meyer's Flat Iron Steak with Penne Pasta and Herb Brown Rice
    Vera L.

    Located near downtown Claremont. This casual spot was easy to get to and I had no trouble finding street parking. I ordered the flat iron steak with the 2 split sides herb brown rice and penne pasta. I really want to try their bow tie pasta, next time! The jalapeño garlic sauce was amazing, and the tomato pesto was just as delicious. I could drench everything in their sauces. I do wish the steak portion was a bit bigger, but it was cooked pretty decent, and not tough or dry at all. I also loved that they serve beer and have a bar-top area to sit. Received my meal quick and cashier was very friendly!

As we were brainstorming what type of cuisine we wanted, we both agreed upon West Asian/Middle Eastern. So, of course, I hopped on Yelp and was delighted to findCafe X2O! Seeing that it was a Lebanese spot, I knew that the food would be pretty good from the get-go. When we arrived to the restaraunt for late lunch, we were seated promptly, given the menus, and water to drink. We ordered the chicken breast kabob plate, the beef shawarma plate, with sides of grilled vegetables, hummus, baba ghanouj, and toum (garlic sauce). Of the bunch, the baba ghanouj and toum were my FAVORITE! SO FLAVORFUL! As for the grilled vegetables, I'm personally not a fan of whole roasted roma tomatoes and a whole grilled zucchini. The chicken kabob and beef shawarma plates were pretty yummy! However, I did prefer the meat and the rice to be a lot more seasoned & salted. They both tasted a bit too bland for my personal liking, however, the proteins were tender and cooked to perfection! (I do tend to be extremely particular about West Asian/Middle Eastern food, given that I am West Asian/Middle Eastern myself and have high expectations when eating out - hence the preference in extra seasoning! ) I was slightly disappointed that they didn't have ayran (Middle Eastern yogurt drink), as most spots tend have this on their beverage menu. That would've been perfect to sip on the extremely hot day it was! I do plan on coming back here to try out their falafel and shawarma wraps. Highly recommend to folks in the area that are curious to try West Asian/Middle Eastern food and are looking for a solid spot to eat!
