Muscle Maker Grill is an excellent place to get healthy food that actually tastes good and isn't expensive. Their location is great, right on Essex by route 17, so it is easily accessed and has plenty of parking. The staff has always been friendly every time I've stopped in and the owner, Mike, always goes out of his way to make all the customers feel welcomed. He makes each customer's visit seem personal and not like they're just a number like some other places do. The food, as I mentioned before, tastes great and is prepared fresh when you order. Not only does the food make your taste buds happy, but the prices are wallet friendly as well. You can get a good healthy and filling meal for just a few dollars easily. My personal favorites are the Rocky Balboa Wrap and Arizona entree. The chicken nuggets are also a tasty treat (try the Teriyaki ones). All in all, I've been to quite a few different locations of Muscle Maker Grill and this is by far my favorite one. What really makes this place stand out is the staff, just an overly friendly group of people that always seem to be smiling. I highly recommend Muscle Maker Grill in Lodi. read more

Ordered this through a delivery service and they went above and beyond with my requests (food had to survive till the next day so taking the hot stuff out of the salads made that helpful.) Food was also very good. Will order again for sure. read more

We love the food here, and the fact its all high in protein. The staff has always been really nice and helpful - that's important to me. You can tell they appreciate the business, and are likeable people. We always get either takeout or delivery, but I'm sure we'll end up inside someday, the atmosphere is nice and casual. I've seen a couple bad reviews, but I never experienced slow delivery or cold food. They do stop taking delivery orders at 7:30; we learned that at 7:30, and I guess they really stick to it. I've ordered three times, so we've only sampled the menu, but I can say the Rocky Balboa wrap is awesome, and the turkey meatballs are better than any I've ever had. Yelp says they're open on Sundays, and they're not. At least, not the last Sunday we we tried. I wish they were. read more

Great food with health in mind really is the key to this business. The crew here brings a friendly personal touch to what is basically a chain restaurant. I get very sick unless I stick to a strict diet and Musclemaker has wholesome and gluten free alternatives to other restaurants. The price is a non issue for fresh food cooked daily. I can live with running out a few menu items here and there for the freshness that they offer here. I speak for many customers when I say id eat at lodi Musclemaker daily read more

Anyone who knows about healthy eating will clearly stand clear of this place. The entire place smells like a Chinese fish market on a hot summer day! Aka NASTY! Food tastes gross, smells gross and shockingly......looks gross! Maybe they should use those muscles and clean the place up a tad? I think 7-11 next doors has healthier options! read more

my boyfriend and I love coming to this muscle maker, amazing well cooked food and great service. Sam, the manager, noticed I do not eat meat and instead offered me alternatives to make sure that i was satisfied with my order. Amazing place, highly recommend. We cannot stop going. Absolute favorite place to eat read more

Mike's devotion to his business is unparalleled and it really shines through at this location. As I recently was inspired to eat a bit better, finding a new lunch location was my first and foremost task. Luckily I stumbled across this place rather quickly. Absolutely fantastic tasting FRESH food, seemingly no matter what you order. Very filling portions. Very personable staff that really make the extra effort to welcome new and old customers. There's a reason I eat here nearly daily. read more

I do like this place even though it is a little pricey, but it is worth it. I do order the chicken caesar wrap and the salad on the side. Definitely will be coming back in the future. read more

what a disappointment! if you're looking for overpriced, stale, over salted, take on "healthy food", this place is for you. here's a little pointer for muscle maker grill: don't substitute fat and calories in your meals for sodium!!! no one wants to be bloated! service was rude! there were about 16 ignorant kids behind the counter. when i asked to order, i got "ha, that's not my job" from one of the thugs working there. $30+ for 2 disappointing meals. spend the money elsewhere, like at a food store. cook your own meal that you know will taste good and be healthy for you. read more

A chain of restaurants that markets itself to health-conscious gym-goers. If I'm being honest, I can't think of any muscle-bound behemoths, gearing up for an intense workout, that'd consider the minuscule meals this place serves fitting for their diet. Paid around $10 for a small wrap and a small side of broccoli. I had to go to down the street to Chit Chat afterwards to have an actual meal that filled me. read more

Got sick the two times I ate here. I've had other MMG and had no problem. Terrible customer service. Don't hire a bunch of kids and have zero management on the schedule while they're working. I hope new management changes this place up. read more

I've been to a couple of MMG and this Lodi location by far is my favorite, the place is always clean and neat, bathroom is always clean, the staff is amazing always smiling and having fun, when I order carry out I always get notified when my food is ready. Other thing, I don't know if its because of the cooker but I've tried the burgers and salads in other locations and this place by far has the BEST flavor. If you pass by make yourself a favor and order the Premium Burger!! THE BEST!!! read more

Their Asian sesame salad is AMAZING ! Place is clean. Very nice. Definitely will come back

We placed an order via grub hub. We called to see if we can cancel the cash payment and put it on a card and was told we need to do that through grub hub. 90 minutes later we are still sitting here waiting for our food and the man tells us he cancelled it. WHY???? we did not ask for it to be cancelled we simply asked to change the form of payment! Ordering in person seem to be the best option!! You can be sure the sales person is listening and not just doing what they THINK they should do. read more

So they're officially closed. I called last week and there was no answer. The following day I was driving past and saw the windows all papered up. There is a sign on the door stating they're undergoing minor renovations and new management. Hopefully this is true and we'll no longer have the issue of bad customer service and always being out of stock of at least one ingredient every time you order. read more

Good food. Good service. Price is fair. I always get the MMG wrap. And it's great my friends get the other stuff and they love it.

The food is delicious and healthy. For sure I will always recommend to family and friends .

I decided to try this place after the gym & the service is excellent! I ordered the cheeseburger salad which was healthy and delicious! The owner Mike, is very friendly/sexy. He recommended the tube steak for my girlfriend & she loved it! This is a great addition for Lodi. read more

Worst muscle maker I've been to in Northern NJ. Ordered 2 MMG wraps and the wraps were hard and old. There was about half of te normal quantity of chicken, turkey bacon, etc... So disappointed I usually never leave poor reviews and love muscle makers food but I'll never be going back to this one and will tell others the same ! read more

ive eperienced a better tasting entree at a musclemaker in union county nj. this was particularly bad tasting. I ordered their entree on special. named the "professional" douched in sauce and cheese my stomach has been hurting since I ate it actually. read more

They should not bother having a delivery service here for the following reason. We ordered and did not receive our food for almost an hour and a half. We had to call twice. When the food arrived and we asked why the food was so late, the driver said something to the effect that we shouldn't bother with delivery at that time of the day. That response while honest is not appropriate or even professional. It's bad business. Muscle Maker Grill should not offer delivery service if they can't deliver the food at a reasonable time. The chicken bites we ordered were ice cold and had to be reheated. The food is otherwise well prepared and flavorful. We'll be picking up the food next time. I hope they find a way to remedy late delivery as I'm pulling for a franchise like this to succeed like any small businesses in our area. read more

Don't wast your time. If you want to eat healthy this is not the place. The place was not clean, and service was lousy. read more

The food is fresh and light. The portions are just the right size. Good and fast delivery service. I recommend the Cajun chicken, the sauce is really tasty and just the right amount of spices. read more

First of all I'm being very generous by rating this place with one star. here's my FIRST AND LAST experience with ordering from MMG lodi. My friend and i ordered a pick up order on Sunday night around 5:45, we didn't know that they close at six. We ordered the Arizona wrap and a side of turkey meatballs. 1-they gave us the wrong tortilla for the wrap, it's suppose to be the red one but we got the plain one. 2 chicken was way too dry. 3 the rice was hard and cold. 3 missing the Signature sauce. 4 the meatballs barely had any sauce or cheese on them and they were burned from the bottom, i mean like BLACK BURNED on the bottom. For the 2nd order my friend ordered the Arizona entree, For some reason they gave us a small portion, i eat at MMG at all the times, Englewood, Edgewater, even the original one in Colonia, and i'm pretty positive that all MMG packs their entrees to go in a much bigger tin, this one was definitely not MMG standards, back to the entree again, the rice was cold, DRIED chicken and over cooked T. Bacon, it was missing the scallions on top. BUT on top of all was the SMALL PORTION, like are you kidding me?? This entree for $10.70??? Oh, and finally when my friend asked for extra sauce OTS for the Arizona they told him that they were closed already. I mean this is just not the place to order from. Definitely the last time to ever order their again it was a bad experience, their cooks has to be better trained on how to follow the Franchise standards and on how to treat the first customer of the day as the last one of the day and on how to keep serving "FRESH" ingredients, isn't what they claim to have? We spent around 20 bucks for dinner that was completely not worth the drive to pick it up. You can spend you money somewhere else. Very disappointed in MMG, Lodi read more

Pretty good food and break down macro nutrients. but, holy cow... The amount of sodium is almost as bad as McDeath even if you select the salad options! Choose wisely! I will say, the taste of the food is good/tasty but, now you know why! Taste almost 4 but once I saw the truth (nutrition info), it's a 3. I hope they improve nutritional stats and if become a loyal frequent customer! read more

Nothing super crazy about this place - it kind of like a healthy twist on Burger King. I think it's a Jersey thing cause I'd rather pay the same amount for prepared food at Whole Foods. read more

This was my first time ordering from this location. I usually order from Carlstadt, which unfortunately is closed. I ordered the Italiano salad. The guy had it on its side, so it leaked through the bag and all over my desk. And then I had ordered the BBQ Pop-chips. They substituted another variety and when I called, I was told that since I didn't TELL them not to make any substitutions, they felt free to. What a crock. I made sure they refunded me for the chips. It may sound petty, but first of all Carlstadt always double-bagged their items so nothing would ever leak and they always called me or told me up front if they were out of something. These people are not going to get my business again. read more

I can't believe this is considered healthy food. Just looking at the menu I knew I wasn't going to get the best quality. It's obviously a fast food place branding themselves as healthy but nothing on that menu is actually good for you. They say their smoothies are made with real fruit but really it's a concentrate that they mix with ice. Says no sugar added but don't confuse that with no sugar. It's concentrated fruit juice so it's packed with sugar. I got one anyway because I'm starving and happened to be in the area but I had to throw it out because it was way too sweet and didn't even taste like mango. I also got a loaded baked potato cuz it was one of the only things on the menu with no meat. I ate a few bites but it was obviously microwaved and had no flavor. Broccoli tasted straight out of a frozen veggie bag. I was disappointed but not surprised. These chain restaurants are obviously given the worst ingredients to work with. If you want real healthy food go to Lovin' Today in Hasbrouck Heights. read more

The owner/manager Moe is horrible. He told me something very specific on the phone, I drove all the way to the location he wasn't he even there than backpedalled and didn't honor his word. Much better places to eat than this. read more

Great food. Great service. V. Friendly staff. And helpful also. Little pricey but they give u enough food for it =)

The owner of the Lodi branch needs to restaff it with more competent individuals who have experience in the foodservice industry. There is only one guy who runs the counter. When he picks up the phone he never answers by saying "Hi Muscle Maker Grill how can i help you." Instead its a "yeah" and you are not even sure you dialed the right number. They also are short staffed so much that sometimes they a) don't pick up the phone when you call b) refuse delivery. You'd think they are busy, but when you drive by there is nobody in there - even during dinner hours. Once I walked in and that same guy was chatting it up more with one of his friends. Instead of taking care of the customer, he thought it was OK to continue his conversation with one of his friends for a few minutes. Can't believe that this guy actually gets away with this. This is a great franchise and these comments are specific to this store. The guy running the counter should be fired for poor customer service. read more

First time in there and was greeted extremely nicely. The guys are awesome and so is the food. I will definitely be making this my after gym spot from now on!! read more

Ridiculous... First it shows on yelp that they deliver in my area and after i place the order and payment processes i get a call from muscle maker grill in lodi that they do not deliver to my home address. Absolutely ridiculous both yelp and Muscle Maker grill of Lodi NJ read more

The food is mediocre to downright bad. I've had a chicken salad of theirs, which was basically some old refrigerated lettuce with small bits of unflavored chicken and a sauce that came out of a bottle. The price for this tiny salad was three times what it should have been. Another time, I had a chicken wrap which was something my three-year-old niece could have made. It was tasteless chicken sloppily put into a wrap with very few other ingredients, which were cheese, a bland sauce, and brown lettuce. The people who work there are nice, but given the price and food quality, I see no reason to ever go there again. read more

I have eaten at a few MMG but I have to say this location has the cleanest and best tasting food I've tested yet. Delivery is extremely quick and great service. read more

The best muscle maker I have been to. The food is great, fresh and never cold or undercooked. Haven't had delivery yet so I cannot speak on that. Definitely worth going for a healthy meal. The manager/owner is also a nice guy who you can tell cares about the business and customers read more

For a while I've been driving by a couple different Muscle Maker Grills and finally "indulged" last week. Now I ask myself, what was I waiting for? I had the Godfather. I thought that a dinner that was less than 400 calories would not be filling, boy was I wrong! The huge piece of butterflied chicken that I had was topped with mushrooms, peppers, mozzarella cheese, and balsamic dressing. The perfect combo. All on top of fresh crunchy broccoli. So filling, so tasty. Who needs pasta? However if you do, then order guilt free whole wheat pasta! I would totally go here on the regular. Only downside was it took a minute to get the food, the upside is that means it is all made to order! A nice new millennium version to fast food! read more

Roughly 80% of the time I visit, the food quality is excellent and the service is very good. But, there have been instances where the fellow at the counter doesn't seem too happy that I'm at the establishment. Perhaps one occasion the food didn't taste too fresh. All things considered, however, the food is is tasty and the selection is very good, especially for folks who are conscious about the quality of the food they are eating. read more

By far the worst food I have ever had. And I am not saying Muscle Maker Grill sucks because I have had it from other locations and it has been great - but the LODI, NJ location is horrible! I have ordered from here approximately 5 times and its either wrong each time or completely COLD. Their excuse being its cold outside -- GIVE ME A BREAK - I have order from other establishments and food has never been cold regardless of the weather. It even looks as if it wasn't heated and just sat there for a long time before they delivered it. I kept giving them another shot but this will be the last time I order from Lodi. read more

me and my boyfriend stopped in and he order the MMG Signature wrap and a shake vanilla and banana cream. the bad part was the shake he said it was to creamy and the favor was to much. overall we like the food, read more
