I am a sucker for Halal/Mediterranean food; and when I found out about all these amazing flavors…read morecoming from a mobile food truck, I had to see and taste what all the fuss was about. This takes me to "812 Grill" which has slowly gained a small cult following through social media since opening back in mid-2024. Located in a large outdoor strip mall on busy Watt Ave in North Highlands, 812 Grill is tucked smack dab in between Freedom Park Dr and Karl Dr. Parking was easy to find as there aren't a whole lot of businesses close to where they are located. I came here during the afternoon on Sunday 1/18/2026 at around 4:30pm. For those wondering, they are open for business Tuesday through Sunday from 11am-9pm and closed on Monday. You also have the option of placing your order online for pickup or delivery (DoorDash, Uber Eats, & Postmates). Since I did neither, I ordered my food the old fashioned way and that was at the ordering station area of the truck. I went with what was arguably their most popular item, the "Chicken Shawarma". They carry these in chicken as well as beef while you can also opt fora complete meal with fries. In addition to the Shawarma, they also specialize in a Halal-style cheeseburger as well as raptor fries (available in chicken or beef), wings, chopped cheese, and several lemonade flavors. And when my shawarma was ready, the pager they provide you sets off a chirping beep. Total time it took from when I ordered to when I got my food was about 10 minutes. After making the 15-minute drive back home, I unwrapped this thing and was ready to judge how good this was. As you can see from the photo, the size of this thing is massive as it is roughly about a foot long. And after the first bite, I enjoyed the seasoned and tender pieces of grilled chicken as they definitely did not disappoint. This wrap also included lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and the signature sauce. The only reason for a deduction in the rating is that it was a little soggy which probably tastes a LOT better as soon as it is handed to you but nonetheless, it was above average. All in all, "812 Grill" was well worth the price and at $11.99 for a ton of food, you can't go wrong. The young man that took my order was polite while the truck was easy to identify, even from busy Watt Ave. With excellent tasting food, reasonable prices, above average service, and generous hours of operation, I am giving 812 Grill a respectable four star rating.

Maybe 1 or 2 bites. The duck is crispy...the shell crispy...the crema was delicious. We also ordered the sweet chili wings..ALL I CAN SAY IS OH MY GOSH...THESE WERE ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS . the order comes with five wings for $18.75. These wings are crispy with a sweet chili glaze , which is wonderful. The flavor though...they are a must try. We also ordered the Goat cheese wood fire pizza. It was 21.00 It comes with shiitake mushrooms...garlic...spinach...red onion and we added pepperoni. This pizza was incredible. The flavor was so so good. The crust was soft and perfect.

I enjoyed my burger and fries. It was a good deal as a lunch menu item, which is offered until 3 p.m. The fish tacos were decent (maybe a little on the bland side) but still a nice option to have. The wings were dry, which our kid said isn't usually the norm since they order them regularly, but the mac 'n cheese balls were a hit, as usual. Service here is friendly, and the hostesses were warm and welcoming when we first walked in. Our server, Jessica B., was friendly and accommodating, offered solid recommendations, and checked in with us frequently without being overbearing. Our biggest bone to pick, though, was with the chairs in the outdoor seating area. All three of us were uncomfortable and hurting after a relatively short amount of time. I'd definitely recommend grabbing a booth inside, and that's what we'll likely do.

Sachae anticipated our needs and checked back on us several times, even though her section filled up quickly keeping her quite busy. The food was very good. The Asian salad that used to be served with mandarin oranges is now served with mango chunks instead. This seems pretty unique, and it's very good. Everything else was very good as well. The place still rocks that nostalgic vibe that makes me so happy. I get to take a stroll down memory lane every visit. And I think it's safe to say I'll be strolling down that lane many more times in the future!

The good: the service was excellent. I didn't feel like we waited for anything and I didn't feel like they were always there. The chicken fried steak was excellent and quite a lot of food. The teriyaki chicken itself was good and the rice was good. The bad: the vegetables which came underneath the teriyaki chicken seemed like they had been steamed in a microwave. They had an odd texture. It was a minor thing, but it was something I noticed so I'm including it in this review. Prices were a little higher than I expected, $22 for chicken fried steak? The ugly: N/A It's rare that I come to these particular restaurants and I don't order chicken fried steak or corned beef hash plates because I feel that's where their strength lies. But I was in the mood for lunch so I tried it. It was good, but I still think their breakfast menu is where they excel. I will continue to frequent these locations as their service is top-notch and their food is quite good.
