    I consider myself a homebody, so when I leave the house to run errands, I always feel like I deserve a reward in the form of food! My new favorite pastime is to browse the apps for freebies and deals. Today, I was near my local Sonic Drive-In and the app had multiple offers. I chose the Free Entree with purchase deal and snagged a free Footlong Chili Cheese Coney. I had toto make a purchase of $1 or more, and add you know, you can barely get anything for a buck. I ordered a Cherry Limeade and Groovy Fries with sauce. After tipping, I spent $6, but the deal was still worth it in my opinion. I received service with a smile and my meal was delivered promptly and it was accurate!

    The speed in which we were able to order our food was a big win. The food came out shortly after and it was the exact order we had placed. The issue was the quality of the food and the portion sizes that ultimately left us shaking our heads.

    I just keep putting us through the pain of giving this place a chance. I truly do not understand a restaurant selling tots, fries, onion rings, etc NOT automatically putting ketchup in the bag. But when you specifically ASK when you're ordering and are still made to wait another ten minutes while your food gets cold and kiddos are complaining because there's no ketchup or the sauce for their chicken bites... well it's beyond frustrating. I finally waved down the delivery lady in the parking lot as she was running back inside from another stall. Cause they will also ignore you standing outside the door. Then they look at you crazy because you actually want condiments with your food and hand you three packets of ketchup when we ordered three large tots, an onion ring, and two large chicken bites. SERIOUSLY?! It's just such a simple thing that ruins it all. If you're not going to include condiments then put a sign on each stall. Or specifically end each order with ASKING the customer. Something, anything. Ironically, after this we went next door to Grand Park and had our Sonic cups and about 15 people started griping about the EXACT SAME THING. Everyone figures the only reason this place stays in business is because so many out of towners are coming through for tournaments at the ballpark and just don't realize what they're dealing with. The concession stand lady at the park even said how many people come back with Sonic bags and have to ask them for ketchup, sauces, napkins, etc. Ridiculous and such an easy thing to fix. The service would still be way too slow to answer a speaker but I could overlook that for the yummy options. My family says never again.

    This is tough for me to rate. It's not going to make it if it cannot get staffing correct. Waited at walk-up for 15 minutes just to orders slushie. Waited about 35 more minutes to get it. I want to give it a higher rating but cannot at this point. I will try again in future.

    My youngest son has been obsessed with empanadas ever since he tasted them at an event we attended…read morea while back. So, I decided to take my dear son to Gringtinos to eat some empanadas, because this Latin-ish restaurant has several different varieties on the menu. We sat down, looked at the menu, and my son wanted a cheeseburger, instead. Oh, kids! You gotta love them, right? (Right?) Luckily, Gringtinos has a kids menu that includes a cheeseburger, as well as a quesadilla and boneless wings. My son said that the cheeseburger was the best that he's had in a long time, so there you go. If you want a great kids' cheeseburger, visit Gringtinos. I was there for empanadas, so I got us a few: barbacoa, chicken, ground filet and street corn. We loved all of them, but the ground filet was probably our favorite (it was basically ground beef). We also ordered the yucca fries, which are served with white queso. They were like regular potato fries, but more earthy and dense. One order can feed two or three people -- they're very filling, with an interesting texture. I'm glad I ordered them. The service was OK, but we had to ask for plates, even though the server saw us dripping empanada juice all over our napkins. (It's like, hello! Yes, plates would be good. Bring us plates.) I'm also not a fan of servers not writing down my order, and instead, trying to memorize everything I say. I'm not impressed! It makes me stressed! Please, for the love of everything that's holy, just write down my order. It's truly OK to write things down. I promise. The construction around Gringtinos is murder, but don't fret. There is parking in the back, off of a gravel road. Once you park, enter through the back and you're good to go.

Noticed right away that the chicken was v fresh, a piece of breast (not some formed piece, like a Nugget), with a thin layer of crispy coating, cooked in v clean oil -- VERY good. Both burgers were delicious. Lunch companion had a basic cheeseburger which was great, all elements. Food came out fast and hot. We split a pint of a cold, tasty, dark amber beer that was a bargain at $6. The employee who waited on us was kind, helpful, polite, and just nice to be around. We didn't order sides, as we believed the burgers (% chicken san) would be enough, and ... yup, we were right.

Not spectacular, but good. The Sidewinder fries were nicely cooked. The star of this show was unexpected; the Caesar side salad was presented beautifully and was an unusually large portion (being that it was just a side item). Ambience: They're in a relatively small space. It's a burger bar, so it is what it is, but at least the building is in a nice place in Carmel. Service: You order at the counter/register, and they bring the food to your table. Service was prompt. Those three categories were all good, but I think this was just a case where the whole seemed less than the sum of its parts. They do appear to offer boxes of sliders as a take-out item, so I may try that in the future.

Super friendly staff. We chatted with the hostess for a bit about the other Family of Grindstone restaurants. We started with the short rib poutine.

I also love the added touch of the scallions. For our meals, I had the Jambalaya pasta which was a large serving with plenty of meat, my husband had the tenderloin sandwich (which was massive and the best he said he has ever had on all of his trips to Indy) and our friend had the piggy melt grilled cheese (Mac and cheese and pulled pork!) That sandwich had incredible flavor and I said I'm getting that next time. We ended the meal with bread pudding bites as the photos on here looked delicious and the waitress recommended them. They certainly did not disappoint. The restaurant has a bit of a nicer vibe and there are certainly some people that were there dressed better than us, but it is not a stuffy atmosphere.

Every so often, I would get an enormous fry that was way bigger than the others. It was more like a steak fry! It was like a little baked potato. It was nice to have that variety in the appetizer (which I was treating like an entree because, again, I was eating this giant appetizer by myself without shame). One of my children opted to get the kids meal here, which is the mac & cheese with a side (he chose fries). The mac & cheese is cavatappi pasta, so it's that pleasing curly texture that kids love (my kid loved it).

Our tenderloin sandwich was served hot and fresh. We got it with lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onions. They have a variety of sauces you can add as well. Since the seating area is small, my wife snagged us a table while I went to the counter to order. This was probably our mistake. Our order was priced incorrectly in that we only got the tenderloin Tuesday discount on one of the tenderloin sandwiches. We probably both should have gone to the counter and ordered separately. We got sauces on the side and my wife got the ranch and I got the fiery ranch. However, when we picked up our bag at the counter, my sauce was not included, although it was on the printout of our ticket. So, technically you could say both our order and our bill were incorrect Although the bill, you could say, was also our fault since we did not order separately. That being said, we have gone to other establishments on Tenderloin Tuesday and had one bill and we both received the discount. The tenderloin sandwich was OK and fairly priced given market conditions. Would we return? If we were on the far east side of Carmel, we would stop in again.
