I love the griffin grill!! They are super friendly and always busy. I'm going to miss the owner and his family and the croissant sandwiches and smoothies are great! read more

Walked here on my break and it's a cool little cafe. Chips/candy/bottled beverages on display. Lots of fresh hot or cold options- salads, sandwiches, coffee drinks and breakfast items. Tons of local office workers picking up takeout and ample shaded tables outside. read more

I like how they have nachos (the fake cheese kind) whenever they do, usually Fridays. Grilled items like burgers and chicken sandwiches are good too. I enjoy they salad bar. Lots of options, much cheaper than Whole Foods per lb. price. read more

I got a mediocre medium iced coffee for $7. I was surprised when I was rung up, I could've gotten the same from Starbucks for even cheaper.

Griffin Grill is a hidden gem They serve burritos, burgers, salads, sandwiches and a multitude of ice cold soft drinks along with energy drinks. My all time favorite is a turkey bacon avocado sandwich with my favorite energy drink of all time, a NOS. It's honestly very rare that they have NOS as they are only sold at select locations. Today I decided to get the avocado chicken breast salad and was not disappointed as it was huge! The owner also gave me a side of peaches. (He is very kind and often gives regulars a free side of the soup of the day or fresh fruit!) I have never had an issue with the wait times but I tend to come during off times after 12. But if time is an issue I would say to avoid 11:30 - 12:30 since a lot of people are on their lunch at that time. There's usually plenty of seats outside along with inside. read more

Griffin Grill - American Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I love this spot. I work at 4 Hutton but I prefer to walk over here instead of the Starbucks center which is closer and the reason is because the food is great. I had three eggs, bacon and a sliced avocado side. The food was all perfect and they gave me a huge amount of avocado which is why I love this place instead of like. read more

Griffin Grill recently opened to replace many others like it in the past. There isn't much differentiating this from the ones in recent history, or the long standing Cafe 201 one block away. Griffin Grill offers the standard fare of breakfast and lunch items, but aren't anything deviating from a typical cafe. Breakfast items, such as a breakfast burrito, breakfast sandwich and breads. The menu is limited in this aspect and doesn't offer too many egg plates (sorry, no egg white sandwiches). The lunch menu has a bit more options, but offers far less than what you can get at Cafe 201. Assuredly, it's to cut down on inventory costs, but creativity can go a long way with the existing items. It would be nice to offer breakfast/lunch specials, but given they've just opened, this has yet to be seen. For lunch, a typical sandwich will hover around $5.95 - $6.55 and an "entree" costs around $6.55. You do not get anything other than the paltry sandwich, but for an "entree", you can make it a "combo" for $1.00 extra. A combo means you can add a fountain drink with the obligation of purchasing a $3.00 side item. In all, you're looking to spend about $10 for a meal and can spend your dollars at the handful of restaurants just a stone's throw away, which will get you a whole lot more bang for your buck. The food isn't bad, not great and is only a passable amount of food you are served. I would understand the pricing if you received a bit more food, but I feel like the prices are high to cover rent/"convenience". The owner seems nice, but if he is to learn anything about the Griffin Towers clientele, he should know that you need to provide good value for the price and to differentiate yourself from the existing restaurants in close proximity. We don't care about convenience for being just downstairs, since we know how to walk and love doing so. Do this or your business is doomed to fail rather quick, as there are already grumblings about how it's not worth the visit. read more

Griffin Grill - Now open! - American Near Me - Santa Ana, California

This is a nice spot near my office. The owner is always friendly and greets me with a smile. He works hard and is always there to help you. Their prices are fair. I love their breakfast platters and breakfast burritos for breakfast. For lunch the tuna melt or any of the burgers are a good choice. Oh, they also have teriyaki bowls which is awesome. Sometimes its hard to find because of the black windows but just look for the white font. read more

Tuesday special: carne asada burrito, chips, and guacamole. Food was warm, price was reasonable, not bad for a quick bite. Placed my order online and picked it up 10 minutes later. Will definitely come back next time I forget to pack a lunch. read more

Griffin Grill - Carne asada burrito, chips, and guacamole! - American Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Quite frankly I came here because it was convenient... the breakfast burrito is spectacular and their green salsa is a perfect blend of spicy, garlic and green chilies YUMM! read more

I love the grilled sandwiches. You can always add more or less of something. I get the turkey bacon melt. I'm thinking about adding an egg. Hope to see you here soon. Ps. Your taste buds will thank you. read more

Griffin Grill - Sooo good!! - American Near Me - Santa Ana, California

See all

Love this place.. Super friendly staff, great food. I really enjoy the tacos on Friday's read more

Very nice and convenient small "to go" style cafe. Under new ownership recently, workers are very pleasant and efficient. Really reasonable prices. Very clean. Nice seating outside at the office park, but most of us take it back to our desks. read more

I only come here on occasion for lunch since it is at one of the office buildings near my work. Pricey (as can be expected for an eatery near professional buildings) but convenient. read more

A basic deli with a pretty decent assortment of snacks. They are still working out some kinks. Once it's crowded inside the waiting for food and where the line is gets confusing. Prices are pretty decent and hey at least you don't have to drive to get food. I got the vegetarian sandwich minus cheese and mayo, all the veggies were very fresh and it was a pretty decent sandwich. My coworkers have gotten the omelet, breakfast burrito and other sandwiches and all been pretty happy with their food. read more

My co worker always orders lunch here.. I've tried twice to get food from there and both times they have messed up my order. First time left my item out of my bag and second time claimed I didn't order the item even though it was repeated multiple times. My 2 other co workers have had the same bad experience one person doesn't eat pig ordered a cheeseburger and they gave him a bacon cheeseburger for some odd reason even though bacon was never mentioned. My other co worker ordered a steak and rice meal and she got chicken. These people need their ears checked and learn to listen to their customers. Horrible service. read more

I'd probably give this place 2.5 stars, if that. Prices are a bit steep... Cafe 201 is a better option in my opinion. They offer more selections and is more affordable. At least you get more bang for your buck there. I mean really, $6.55 for just a Ham Cheese Melt? No fries, no salad, no drink. Basically $7 bucks for just a regular Ham Cheese? That's just one example of many pricing options on the menu. I understand there's a convenience factor but they'd get more business if it was more affordable and more flexible for the "regulars" since it's located at Griffin Towers. Also the Owner/Manager I believe, has like zero personality. He never really greets you and you can't really get a smile out of the guy either. You'd think for a cafe that is located at a place that is practically all regulars, he'd show some care. Alas, that is not the case. As another reviewer said when she made a comment regarding the coffee, I totally believe it. Not the most friendly guy that's for sure. read more

This place used to be my favorite until the new owner. His employer never get the order right and when you correct them they give you bad attitude. read more

the food is usual deli/diner type lunches and really not bad. it's cool they have a salad bar as well. what isn't cool are prices. you buy a bagel and it's $1 more to add cream cheese? or burger combos being $1 drink IF you buy fries separately as well? a sandwich here is $7, but a block away the other Cafe charges $6 and includes salad or fries. the prices will keep out company away. read more

A small cafe in the midst of a bunch of office buildings and it works. They have a great salad bar that has lot of options and if you order over the phone by the time you get out of your building it is normally ready and waiting for you. It is a little expensive for what it is but with how convenient it is I really don't care. read more

I like the Griffin Grill! The owner is super friendly and helpful, the food is great and it's well priced. They have a salad bar at lunch and you can customize your food. They have a lot of snacks and beverage options as well, along with medicine packs if you need something on-the-go. Also the convenience in getting food on the way to or while I'm at work is awesome. read more

The menu is less extensive than Palazzo before it was. This is in the Grille's benefit though since I find them to be more consistent. The food is good, though a bit pricey. read more

Owners extremely nice, even remembers most returning folks names. Prices are decent for area and food is good. I've been eating here the past 3 years and never had an issue. Thank you for the nomnoms!! read more

This place is awesome! The Korean couple that runs the place is very friendly and the price is fair. Very convenient to whoever works in the building. Ordering online or over the phone is easy. read more

The owner/manager is always pleasant with me. Everything I've ordered here so far, has been delicious!! The chicken breast sandwich is my favorite, the chines chicken salad and their wraps are all great! Yeah prices are a bit steep but when you don't feel like driving anywhere it's just too convenient. read more

Griffin Grill - Chinese chicken salad- so pretty! - American Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Great food at great prices! This is my new go to for lunch!! The Griffin Burger is spot on! Thanks for the grub Harry!

The food is ok. Owner is a jerk. No personality and gets mad if you call his salsa taco sauce (don't you dare call it taco sauce or risk incurring the anger stare of death) He's in the wrong business if he can't handle a simple misunderstanding about his subpar "salsa". read more

I have been buying breakfast here several times a week although the price is a bit high the food is okay. It is not the food that I am unhappy with but more-so the customer service provided by the who I believe to be the Owner or Manager. I have always tried to overlook it and not take it in a bad way but today I was convinced I will no longer pay to go a place where my money is not appreciated. I kindly made a comment about coffee being almost out by mistake as that is what I thought but I was wrong and apologized for my assumption and he took that as such an offense by the look he gave me and the response. I felt highly offended and kindly walked out of there with my breakfast and coffee and will never return. It is unfortunate that he will loose business from me and all of my co-workers as I have shared this with them and they also have noticed this themselves. read more

Everything I've tried here is wonderful, from the breakfast burritos to the breakfast bagels to the veggie sandwich! Their freshly made green and red salsas are to die for. The owner is always more than happy to customize my order for me since I'm vegetarian. There is seating both indoors and out. I love this place! read more

Paid $7 and got a smashed up Philly cheesesteak. It was about the size of a cheap hot dog bun. I think I am done giving this place a chance. Small tasteless portions and way overpriced. read more

Been going here for lunch almost daily. Great variety and consistently good food! The Griffin Burger here is awesome, and the wait is always short. read more

The food is okay, very small portions and high prices. $3 for a burger but if you want pickles, cheese and fries it comes to $8. They better lower their prices or they will go path of all other cafes that occupied this place. the sandwiches are awful, bad quality meat, looks horrible. your 5 years old can make better sandwiches with Bologna read more

This was my first time eating here. Simply put, the food tasted great and the wait time was minimal. I will definitely eat here again. However, i took off a star for the price. I paid about $10 for a sandwich and fries...a little steep in my opinion. read more

Really slow service. Can't handle the lunch rush hour. People in the back dont know what they're doing and the food is just so-so but it's the only option in our building complex. read more

Jason is a great guy with quality food. I love the veggie sandwich on squaw bread ( add a little meat to make it grand ) and the breakfast burritos are super tasty as well. Easy to call ahead and grab when you get there. Friendly service and great food....what more do you need? read more

You have to give credit where credit is due. I just ordered the salami sandwich and it was hands down one of the best sandwiches I've ever tried. read more

Jason runs a great shop in a small space. The food quality is excellent, great fresh salad bar, and the breakfast burritos are a good way to get your day going. Heck they will hold you through dinner. Prices are fair and you can call ahead and he will give you a time when it will be ready. read more
