I thought I went to the wrong location... the people were nice but that's about it. I can't speak on the ambiance of the place because I went when it was still light out (there wasn't any other customers.) The photos online were nothing like now. The menu is one page. (Technically halve but the font was so large.) The burger and eggs are grilled but everything else is microwaved. I watched my $10 fries be microwaved. Very disappointing. I only recommend coming here with friends for some drinks and karaoke. Absolutely not the food. read more

Local grill in heart of Garland, TX. Had the Big Kahuna Burger and Bad Ass Fries. Big Kahuna was two 1/2 lb patties with Swiss cheese and bacon. Fries had cheese and bacon with ranch dressing. Burger and fries were delicious. Burger was above average, really filling and enjoyable. Definitely recommend. read more

I have to say, this place was really good. It is a diner by day and a bar by night, so my review is based on the day version of the place, because I have never been here at night. The place is unassuming, at the corner of a strip of warehouses. When you walk in, you will see it as more bar than restaurant, but only until your food arrives. My breakfast was the Sausage and Cheese Omelet, which came with hashbrowns and sausage, it was really delicious! My little one had the shortstack with Bacon and I will admit I snuck a bite and the pancakes were pretty darn good. The place is a repeater for sure and I will sugest that if you are in the Garland area and looking for a place to eat that you check them out! read more

All five of us got the Chicken Tenders for lunch. This entree includes three tenders and is served with biscuits and gravy... for $4.25. I added onion rings for $2.50 (they were good, but no need to order again in the future). The tenders were very, very good! I dipped them in the gravy (a la chicken fried chicken), but also in Ranch. Burgers at the surrounding tables looked pretty tasty, so I plan to get one the next time we eat here. This is a busy place for lunch. The space is divided in half, smoking and non-smoking (we had to sit on the smoking side because non was full - which was like stepping back in time since I mistakenly thought everyplace went non-smoking years ago!). Waitstaff wasn't super friendly, but they were more than competent. read more

It's the quintessential "greasy spoon" burger joint. Roll up your sleeves and dive in to one of Darren's "bad-ass" burgers! Since discovering this hidden gem a few years back, we've eaten here at least once a month for lunch. The burgers are made to order, greasy, and oh so good! I usually get the "half-ass burger" with cheese and with...get this...fresh grilled jalapenos...WOW! It's a life changing experience! The names of the burgers are hilarious: Bad-Ass, Half-Ass, Total-Ass, No-Ass, etc... The fries are fresh, but nothing noteworthy whereas the ambiance and random wall art is quite entertaining. It's just a good random spot to land for a quick bite with everyday folks. read more

Garland Grill - a man sitting at the bar - New American Near Me - Garland, Texas

Great dive bar! Lunch is great and great prices. It is simple but sometimes at regular grilled cheese or a good burger is all you want!

Let me tell you, Garland Grill was simply fantastic. The vibe is great. Every single thing we had here was good. Service was excellent and every one working here was incredibly nice and helpful. Highly recommend Garland Grill to anyone. read more

I do believe this is the greasiest burger I have EVER had. But then, I would expect nothing less from a menu item called The Total Ass Burger (I know, you'd think the name would deter me from ordering..errr no). Apparently, I did not learn anything about portion control from the previous nights over indulgences (see review for Saltgrass). This burger had the following list slapped between its buns: 1/2 # burger Bacon Mushrooms Cheese Hot Link Add onion rings to the mix, and it's another recipe for a food coma. This place isn't huge on atmosphere, but I don't really care about that as long as my belly's happy. The service was fast and friendly, and the prices were totally reasonable. read more

Ok dont be freaked out by the way it looks outside. It's in an industrial area. When you step inside also not so hot. Looks like an old dark bar from the 80,'s. My 5 stars are for the food. My husband I got take out because we were not wanting to sit in the dark. I order the 18 ounce steak dinner and he ordered the club sandwich. I was very pleased with cook and seasoning on my steak. It was very yummy and a good value at only $20. The sandwich was also good. Whoever is cooking in there needs to get out of that dark bar because they can seriously cook. Would go back but not to eat in. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch break. I didn't have time to tackle the half pound burger, so I ordered a quarter pound with onion rings. It was the best quarter pound burger I've had in my lifetime. It was piping hot along with my onion rings! Not to mention the Sweet tea was a perfect compliment to both. Service was lightning fast and friendly. I look forward to having a crack at that half pound burger and a "Cold one" on my day off! read more

It been yrs since I ate here New owner an I must say the food was pretty good today N I think it taste better cant really remember my last meal read more

My brother in law had been telling us about Garland Grill for years! We decided to try for our Valentine's Dinner Date night and Grace the owner is sweet as ever and the food was delicious! We will be back as there is a bar on the other side of the diner. Great place for food and drinks! read more

The best steaks around if you ask me I have been to steakhouses and not one can compare. The prices are great for an 18oz ribeye you get a loaded baked potato side salad and Texas toast for only $24.95 and on Wednesday and Thursday(which is ladies night and karaoke night) you can get this huge steak for only $19.95 read more

Garland Grill - 18oz ribeye dinner special comes with a loaded baked potato side salad and Texas toast for $24.95 - New American Near Me - Garland, Texas

This place isn't exactly in a high traffic area, so you either have to drive by it and go in, or see a Yelp friend give it a great rep. Thanks Lori S. It's dark and kind of dive bar like, I sat at the bar, cause it was crowded at lunch time(always agood sign), and I didn't need a whole table for little ole. The bartender was sharp and on top of all the drink orders while taking total care of me and the other bar mates as well. Now, I wouldn't be able to say that I have a hair on my ass, if I walked into a place, they had something called the Total Ass Burger, and I didn't order it. So, bring on the delicious burger patty, gooey Swiss and American cheese, crispy bacon, and very flavorful hot link sausage....yup, you heard that correctly. Then(and I love this), you can go over to the condiment bar, and put what ever and however much, fixins you want on top of your burger. All of that mixed together was a great greasy taste explosion. It's a good thing there are enough paper towel rolls around this joint to soak up the Gulf of Mexico, cause you're gonna need them. And the fries were great too, a nice mix of crispy and some a little soggier. Looking around, the Pot Roast seemed to be fairly popular, and looked delicious, a little pricey for lunch at a cafe though. Smoking sections inside is so foreign to me now, so that was a little shocking, but they must have good ventilation, cause it was hardly noticeable. From the looks of it, and the banter around the regulars at the bar, this place turns into a good spot when the sun goes down, to have a few oat sodas and blow off steam from the daily grind. Then one of the cooks came out and sat next to me, striking up some convos with my bar mates(his real-life mates), turns out he's the owner. So I gave him some cafe props, and he couldn't have been a nicer guy, and that goes a long way into being successful, take care of your customers and make them want to come back for several reasons. If you're in the neighborhood, drop in and try this greasy spoon. I know i'll be putting it into my work lunch rotation. read more

Okay, so, today I want to tell you about Garland Grill restaurant on Kingsley Road in Garland Tx. I've thought about writing a review of this place at least once a week for the last few years but didn't for purely selfish reasons. It's one of my little secret "best foods best prices" eating places and I don't want everyone finding out about it and crowding me out. Still, fair is fair, so, here's what I love about this restaurant: you will have a hard time finding better homestyle food at such low prices. Plus, the staff is nice and treats their job as if they were the owners. That type of service goes a long way with me. And, finally, I love that the actual owner is constantly coming up with specials that only regulars know to ask about, and they are always delicious! read more

This place isn't the same since Darren sold it. They need to stick to the procedures that he implemented. The food is good and cheap but it seems to be going down hill. read more

I ate at the Grill for lunch today and had the BBQ Rib special. The ribs were thick, juicy and smoked to perfection! I added a star because the cig smoke situation seems to have disappeared AND the food is totally BAD ASS as the menu states! Darren can cook and his grill is a great casual place to relax and enjoy your food and friends. read more

I go with co-workers after working on Saturdays (sometimes during the week) to this place. The burgers are awesome! Fries are pretty awesome too.. Sometimes with a large group orders are mixed up or forgotten (they don't write anything down), but most the time they do a good job. The wait staff is friendly. Atmosphere is nothing to get excited about, although, the paintings and different art are kinda neat. ;] read more

Had a job in the area for a week and ate here for lunch every day. Nice folks and everything I had was great.

Great food. Good service. I wish it was closer to home, but when I worked in this area this was a regular lunch spot for myself and other co-workers. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed the half-ass burger with mushrooms. A well seasoned and juicy burger, at that. The tots were a nice option as a side, too. Service was quick and friendly and the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. I plan to frequent this spot for a great burger again and again. read more

They call veggie burger a "No Ass Burger" here...ahahahaha...however it's a savior for me when I get too lazy to prepare my lunch. Fries are big not like those in McDonalds. read more

Been going there for over a year. Recently sold to a new owner. The scenery has gotten better and the food is decent. They NEVER bring you silverware with your meal. Have to go to the salad bar for lettuce and tomatoes and dressing for your hamburger. Went today and got a brisket sandwich which was OK. I ordered a side of fries and a coke. The total was $10.50. I think that is very high considering pricing at other joints in the area for good burgers. And you even have to load it yourself. Salad bar here is lame, at best, so not a lot of choices for a burger. Tweak the pricing or see ya. read more

It might not look the best but this place you should try out. you can't really mess a burger up for me but you cant go to any place and order a "big ass burger" the names of all the burgers have to do with the ass. The"no ass burger" is vegetarian and so on. try it out you just might like it. read more

Breakfast. today was excellent. Our omelets were perfectly prepared. The server was fast and friendly, keeping the excellent coffee hot with refill. I eat breakfast here six days a week. It is always very good. read more

Garland Grill - Breakfast today. - New American Near Me - Garland, Texas

The quality has one downhill. I had the half ass burger and the only real problem was the CHEAP buns. When the burger came the bottom bun was a soggy mess. It did not hold together. The burger fell apart. the men's restroom was atrocious . It smelled of old piss. The floor was dirty. No hand soap the dispenser was covered in dirt and the sink was the same way. They say a dirty bathroom--a dirty kitchen. read more

We stumbled upon this gem while searching for a shady ID card shop. This place is simple yet appealing. It had a very diverse group of people eating there. The burger was greasy, just the way I like it. If I ever get back to Dallas, ill be stopping in here for lunch. read more

We just stopped by here for the first time today while running errands, and we had some of the best burgers ever. The chili on the Bubba burger wasn't greasy at all, and the meat was cooked to perfection. The fries have the texture of potato wedges, and the tater tots are salted deliciousness. Will definitely come back read more

Been going, for 10 years, and i had to repeat order 6 times over today and still got wrong. Why can't I get 2 badass burgers, one with lettuce tomato and onion, and the other just the badass burger. They asked me 6 times how do you want your burger. I get there some Chinese lady says I'll take your tip, in other words her pocket. Who it was meant for, was chef. They don't do the same service as six or seven years ago when Darren owned it..... after this experience I doubt I'll ever go back there again. Terrible service terrible ending and could even speak or take money discount off as I get so many Burgers there read more

if youre in garland, this is the place to be. food was great, super good drink specials, and a lot of hot women.

My husband I enjoy going to small places and meeting new people while enjoying a few cocktails and great food. We got none of that at The Garland Grill. The waitress/bartender was obviously annoyed we were there, however she was very friendly with what appeared to be the regulars of the establishment. The burgers had no flavor but the cheese fries were ok. I only ate a quarter of my burger and my husband only ate half. We were never offered a second drink and never checked on after our food was delivered. When we asked for our check the waitress/bartender acted sort of ticked off that we were asking for something. We certainly wont be returning. read more

I LOVE this place! The food is awesome! They have at least 3 different types of fries (order the "home-style" fries, they're the BEST). I've had just about everything from the chicken salad to the blackened catfish to the half-ass burger (hamburger with bacon, melted swiss and mushrooms). read more

To the guy who's has been to The Grill "14" times too many, please get a life, if you've been there 14 times it can't be that bad! In fact, The Garland Grill has the best burger at least in Garland if not the entire area, any claims to the contrary are ridiculous!! The Ribeye steaks at $ 20.50 which includes salad, steak fries or baked potato, is the best steak I've eaten anywhere, also the beer and mixed drink prices are very reasonable, $ 2.25 beer every day between 4 and 7! Nope nothing scary about this place! read more

never experienced like this burger!! fresh and delicious!!! Good people and awesome food.
