In light of that I HAD to take another order of pulled pork fries to go along with a pulled pork sandwich for the next day!

Corbin himself was behind the counter which was pretty awesome to put the live person to the pictures and the bearded emoji!!!

The old school furniture feels so nostalgic. The order at the counter and get your food was a little different but works well and food was served fast. But let's face it! I'm not there because of the building our counter service. I came for the brisket! How good could it be anyway? Melt in your mouth good! It's officially reached the top 3 in San Diego for me! I'd go back again and again even without table service and no margaritas! This place would probably be on regular rotation for me if they had a full bar.

On my last visit, I went a little off-menu and ordered a chile verde omelette. I already knew their chile verde was legit from past visits, so I had them add it in--and wow...absolute flavor bomb. Tender, rich, and perfectly balanced with the eggs. One of those simple upgrades that turns a solid breakfast into something memorable. The potatoes were crisp, the toast was on point, and everything came out hot and fresh. You can tell they take pride in what they're putting out. If you're in the area and want a reliable, no-nonsense breakfast spot with great flavors, this is it.

Best Burger and Sandwich Spot Around!…read more It is rare these days to find a restaurant that consistently serves food that is hot, fresh, and clearly made with care, but this place exceeds every expectation. The hamburgers are absolutely amazing--juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The sandwiches are equally outstanding, made with fresh ingredients and attention to detail. The homemade coleslaw and freshly made pickles are the perfect complement to every meal and set this restaurant apart from the competition. What impressed me most was that the food arrived hot and fresh, something that has unfortunately become uncommon at many restaurants today. You can truly taste the care, pride, and love that goes into every dish. The service is beyond white-glove treatment. The staff is attentive, welcoming, and genuinely focused on creating an exceptional dining experience. From the moment you walk in until the moment you leave, you feel valued and appreciated. If you're looking for incredible burgers, outstanding sandwiches, fresh sides, and service that goes above and beyond, this restaurant is a must-visit. I highly recommend it and will definitely be returning again and again!

The batter is just right and theirs plenty of fish. Fries are good too. They will mix and match for you as well. If you want shrimp and chips? But also an extra piece of fish? They will do that. Their burgers and shakes are really good too. But I always go for the fish and chips.

It had a generous amount of the garlicky fixings and the flavors tasted really emulsified with wings, it wasn't just dumped on some bland fried wings and there were enough to go with a whole bowl of rice if I had some. All the wings were really crispy but the meat wasn't dry, I always compared to Royal Mandarin and I would definitely get my salt and pepper wings from here now instead. I completely demolished these wings but one minor complaint would be I wish I got to tried some flats because I got all drumsticks.

So glad we finally did. We loved the atmosphere. Old cafe kinda vibes with oldies playing in the background. So nostalgic. What we ordered: * 4 Egg Family Omelette w/ Pancakes - Shared * Side Order of Sourdough Toast Everything we had was amazing. Our omelette was cooked just right. Potatoes and toast were nice and toasty. Pancakes were so good & fluffy. Max was our server and he was very welcoming & attentive. He suggested how we should order to save us a little extra money.... AMAZING!! We can't wait to visit again to try some of their other great looking menu items. They are a fusion of American, Greek & Mexican meals. What a great concept.

When you see the entire store front packed with City Workers enjoying their meals...IT'S A MUST TO STOP AND TRY THEIR FOOD! That speaks volume in itself! I just love "MOM AND POP" locations! I believe this shop is a mother and son ran operation and they are an amazing duo dishing out amazing subs for reasonable prices! Watch out other sandwich chains out there cause Grove Grinder IS WHERE IT'S AT!!!! They have been in business since 1972...NUFF SAID! I ordered the Ann Special with everything on it. They do not skimp on meat and the proportion of bread to meat to veggie ratio is spot on! A full size sandwich is enough to feed two people easily or one very hungry person. I did not try any of their side items or large selection of root beer drink options to choose from but, I will be back many more times to try all they offer! Thank you Grove Grinder for amazing eats and allowing me to snap all my photos of your small shop for my review! If in Lemon Grove, show some love to Grove Grinder and grab you one of their amazing affordable, delicious subs...YOUR WELCOME IN ADVANCE!

I'm a little heartbroken about this because I had a 5-star review drafted up for this place that…read moreread: "Grove Grinder is the GOAT of neighborhood sandwich shops. Over the years that I've been coming here, I've been pleasantly surprised to find that the quality, portion size, and price point has kept pace with inflation and remains the best sandwich option in East County." I'm certainly not the longest-running customer of this spot, but I have been coming to Grove Grinder ever since I moved to the area four years ago. I kept coming back, wrote rave reviews in San Diego food-related social media groups and threads, bugged food influencers about them, and sent many of my friends and family their direction because I was that big of a fan. My husband and I have taken these sandwiches on roadtrips and plane rides, grabbed them in the middle of household chores, and picked them up for each other when the other is too tired or sick to cook. The reason why I'm ultimately knocking this review back and heavily questioning whether I should return has to do with a disappointing experience from my last visit with my husband that we now think was part of a larger pattern. The past couple of times we saw this person at the register, we used my name for the order. This time, though, my husband gave his name instead and the person at the register gave him some attitude about it and asked "You're *really* going with that?" I don't understand what their problem was with his name, but both the person in the front and the staff in the back refused to use it. They called out everyone else's names (and they usually call out mine when I order) and we noticed that our sandwiches were looking skimpy compared to how stacked we know they can come. My husband uses a nickname that might not be the name he was given at birth, but is a name he has used for over 20 years and might as well be his "real," name. We don't want to make assumptions, but most of the staff has always been at least a little cold towards us at best, slightly rude at worst, and even though this experience might seem relatively small to some, it's ultimately the straw that broke the camel's back. We suspect that their distaste for us might be politically motivated. We know it can't be personal because we've been nothing but polite. It sucks, but it seems to be that if they perceive you to not be "their people," your money isn't as green at their establishment, even if it spends all the same. I loved this place and felt lucky that they're close to my house, but feeling disrespected and like the staff are trying to fire us as customers is enough motivation to take our business elsewhere.

Two words: So good! I have been three times and I get their three tacos for $10 deal, everytime delicious. They set up a small TV that plays soccer as you sit at either the cart itself or at one of the tables while you eat. The best part is the salsa bar loaded with as much guac as you want. You don't see that everyday and I'm not mad at it at all. Such a treat for the neighborhood on the weekends and something that I hope is here to stay.
