I live in Las Vegas NV and these days after work I cook at home for my BF and me, or we go out and sample the buffets and other local restaurants looking for new favorites!'
I am "reviewing" Grand Burger on Grand Ave in Glendora because I am definately qualified to review them based on years of delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners they served to me and my family!
Looking at some of these other reviews, it seems anyone reviewing Grand Burger has gotten "stuck" on the Chili Cheese Fries and has missed out on some of the more amazing selections they have to offer......
.....yes, they have awesome Chili Cheese Fries, thus they have awesome Chili with Cheese and onions too.
But next time I travel "over the hill" to So Cal and visit my kids and grandkids, I will stop in at Grand Burger for one of my favorites - PASTRAMI!
You order their pastrami sandwich it is on a great big roll full of delicious thin-sliced pastrami meat, you can order pickles on or off, mustard lots or none, they will fix your sandwich just to your liking! Pastrami meat by its very nature has some fat on it but the meat at Grandburgers is NOT mostly fat, like you get at some other non-chain places. You can ask for extra au jus and they will give you a little cupful to take home, too. Have to get the onion rings with the pastrami, by the way. The order is HUGE!
Try the fish and chips! Big hunks of delicious flaky fish in delicate batter - french fries are big and satisfying - they have malt vinegar available, tarter sauce and of course ketchup! I always asked for some dill pickle chips too.
On another taste bud is the Grand Burger taco and taquito order.....the taco is so full of meat and cheese and lettuce and chopped tomatoes, you eat what stays in the taco shell and then get a fork to eat the rest of it off the paper wrapper like a salad! It's like a free entree! Can't go wrong and it always tastes fresh!
Taquitos order is 2 plus guacamole - the kind you get at the Little League Softball Snackbars which is wonderful! They will put a little shredded lettuce, chopped onion and cheddar cheese on top for you and you don't need to eat again until next Tuesday! You don't have to pay extra for the guacamole. If you ask for some sour cream as well, you'll get it, and you don't pay extra for that either!
I've never been a fan of the giant breakfast burrito because somehow I don't think potatoes were meant to go inside a tortilla, but the regular "gringo" breakfasts with french toast or pancakes and eggs and bacon etc. are the best bargain for your breakfast buck you will find on Route 66,,,,,
The staff is always cheerful and the food is plentiful and delicious. It's a great neighborhood "diner/dive" or some such and you just can't go wrong. I miss Grand Burgers. The only thing bad about them is they haven't opened one here in Las Vegas yet...well, one can still wish.....!
I used to work not far from there so lots of times someone from the office would take our order lists and money and drive thru and bring back - lots ot times I went for my families' dinner on my way home - my kids played local sports and lots of times after games at the park a lot of us from the team would end up the day having a Grand Burger! Because yes, their BURGERS are GRAND, too!
Well just go there and see for yourself, but don't get stuck thinking the only thing decent on the menu is the chili cheese fries! read more
