My husband and I just moved to the area and were looking for a bite to eat and came upon this spot. We looked over the menu and ordered the pizza rolls. They tasted like spaghetti in a roll form with marinara sauce. It was phenomenal. I ordered the Bacon cheeseburger Mac n Cheese and it was good. My husband ordered the mushroom Swiss burger with sweet potatoes fries and he loved his as well. This is definitely a spot we will be returning to. Plus the service is great! read more

The Grind Mac & Cheese Burger Bar...very cool little spot in Martin, TN that serves some of the biggest milkshakes I've ever seen!!! I decided on the Star-Spangled Burger with their homemade onion rings and my daughter went for the Black Bean Burger and Sweet Potato Fries. Everything was cooked perfectly and delicious. Saw a few of the milk shakes go by and they look like they are designed for two people...LOL Great food and awesome service, would love to come back in the summer and enjoy a meal on their patio! read more

This is a fun place to eat! We really enjoyed the atmosphere and how hospitable everyone was. They even gave balloons to our girls (3 yo & 17 mo). There was also a mini Pac-Man to play at the table. The onion rings are awesome! Don't skip out on those! The pickle fries are interesting. I had the Chicken Apple Salad. Wasn't a fan of the apple chips in it. My husband had a Shroom and Swiss burger that he enjoyed. The girls shared the kids burger sliders. I was really impressed with the sliders! It was a good small sized burger patty! We also tried the Oreo Cookies and Cream milkshake. It was good, but it's a lot! read more

The Grind Mac and Cheese Burger Bar - OVERCOOKED ONION RINGS LOTS OF MAYO ON AN OVERCOOKED BURGER NOT WORTH THE PRICES - Burgers Near Me - Martin, Tennessee

The food is mid and pricing is overboard IMO. Dont go on a lunch break or you will be late coming back. I've gone twice and it took well over thirty minutes to receive our food. The atmosphere is very loud as well so stay at home if you don't like loud places. read more

This place is truly a gem in Martin. Moves here for school and this was the first real restaurant I came to out here. The compliments literally flow through me. The service was beyond excellent and attentive. The atmosphere here is fun and lively. The staff add to this feeling of excitement, fun, and overall sense of being welcomed. The food is flavorful and delicious. Had some burgers. Fried Mac and cheese balls. Milkshakes. Sodies and some special drinks. Definitely will be coming back. I have so much to say, but this place is great. It's a must visit when in Martin. read more

wait staff are great, checking on you making sure you have what you need. The burger was well made and very tasty. The decor is great too.

This place has been on my bucket list for awhile. I finally made it, and it did not disappoint. Let's start off with the food- hats off!! The stuffed jalapeños were outstanding! They came out in a smoke-filled dome and swirled so the aroma was "in my face"...in a good way. I also got The Big Kahuna- and let me say the flavor was explosive. The fries were hand-cut and seasoned perfectly- served hot and fresh. Now on to the best part- the hospitality. Wow. Service was on point- as Christen did a phenomenal job. Being in the industry- I generally find myself people watching. When I walked in, I immediately spotted the person you know who was "in charge." I have to say... you guys are hiding a diamond. Tonya, who was "talking" to a table near me is the most genuine type who knows just how to speak. She cracked a joke that it was her 1st day- and clearly it was not. She actually delivered my stuffed jalapeños- and her smile and presentation was captivating. I just continued to watch. She stopped a few minutes later to see how I was, and to top off my drink. She ran this restaurant with ease- filling drinks, taking plates, and even sang!! She embodies a true leader- and was everywhere!! You can't teach this type of hospitality- and all jokes aside- I contemplated offering her a job! Now on to the aesthetics and vibe- y'all have done this right! The old school feel, 80's- 90's theme is awesome! Keep up the good work- and I will definitely be back. read more

It was okay....they claim to have gluten free items, but they do not really have much of a selection

What a great spot!! They have some amazing food and drinks here! I had the Mac and cheese balls it was okay I enjoyed it better with ranch. The service was AWESOME! She was very upbeat, welcoming, and nice! She made some great recommendations and jokes. Don't forget that this place has some massive milk shakes.! The place is very chill with pictures all around the building. I would definitely come and enjoy more. read more

Two stars for trying. The best thing I can say about the place is that the atmosphere was fun and our server was super sweet. Actually, all the staff was super friendly And yet the food was mediocre at best. We had the deviled egg appetizer. The eggs were very bland. The candied bacon was sweet is the best I can say about them. The combinations of the burgers sound much better than they taste. The food presentation was nice. But again the food was underwhelming. I had the Mushroom and Swiss burger with Onion Rings and the huz had the Big Kahuna with fries. Huz said his burger was okay, and he liked the fries. The onion rings were notably the best thing we tried. The batter, while sweet, melted in your tongue. We ordered a shake, but ended up leaving before we got it. We waited over 30 minutes after ordering it and it still had not come out. read more

My family and I chose this restaurant before going to a basketball game a few days ago. The overall vibe, drinks, customer service, and food were phenomenal. As soon as we walked in, the staff welcomed us as if we were regulars. Our waitress was also perfect! Other restaurants should model after this gem! They are the Chic-Fil-a of local restaurants!!! I hope this restaurant is around for a long time. read more

This was tough to review. The waitstaff has incredible energy and great personality. The menu is interesting and the food was pretty good in general. However, the wait for anything was long. We ordered chips and trio of dips. It comes with not enough chips to finish the dips so we asked for more chips. Beware they charge $1 for more chips that should have been included. The burgers were fantastic but fries were cold. Our original waitress was replaced midmeal by another waitress saying she had to go home. But she actually was there on the other side the entire time we were there, so that was weird. We asked for garlic aioli a few times and ended up getting it at end of the meal. The shake was very good. Better than what I see other places with these gourmet shakes. Love the energy but needs tweaking. read more

Small place with a lot of heart. We had to wait a bit to get in but the wait times were spot on with the crowd. A solid selection of draft beers greet you while you decide what to order. The menu isn't too obscure, but lays out a solid selection of food that all sounds delicious. We had the kids sliders, the Luther, and the socal burger. All were amazing. Some places cheapen the kids meat selection for cost but The Grind does not. We ordered the valentines shake and Oreo shake. Although heavier on whipped cream than ice cream they did not disappoint. All the pantry favorites were there from suckers to pop tarts to sweet cakes. The atmosphere was a blessing of the late 80s early 90s and made you just want to stay. The service was quick friendly and as promised offered a slice of home. We will be back read more

Highly overpriced for mediocre food. Onion rings were sopping in oil and cold. They did bring some hot ones out after I told them mine were cold. But the hot ones were still dripping in oil. Service was good though except the waitress kept calling me hon and babe (She was maybe 20 and I am a senior citizen). The blaring music was a distraction. read more

A Saturday at lunchtime me and my wife in Martin, TN. At The Grind... we were seated right away and had a front row seat ( near the main entrance) for seeing all the fun. From amazing shakes to secret menus... super busy. If you do t like loud environments then be warned! Our waitress was jaeann who was top notch..... we waited a little on the food but the atmosphere was entertaining so time went by. The food was amazing... We will be returning in the future... read more

We stopped at The Grind after our day at the Discovery Park of America. I'm glad we got to experience it because we have heard of their infamous milkshakes. Our waitress was Paris (sp?) and she was great! Very enjoyable and enthusiastic- we got her a few minutes into shift change and she was ready to take action! As always, there are some plus and minuses to eating here. The first negative- the wait. Ah, the dreaded "wait to be sat" - we were told it would only be a few minutes while another large party cleared out so that our table of 7 could be sat. Not a big deal, I know how it is with larger parties. But the staff was so overwhelmed- we waited such a long time for the dirty table next to us to be cleaned. [ I will mention that they did have signs up that they were hiring, so perhaps they're shorter staffed than normal? So I take that into consideration] Once sat, all of our arms got stuck to the table from the previous meals. Kinda gross - since it was all sticky syrup from their milkshakes. I think it was more of an issue because it got on our clothes- one of the adults had a white shirt on and it had brand new streaks of chocolate when we left. So maybe a better scrubbing with such sticky food would be great! But again, I'm keeping in mind they're short staffed. [right??] Once we got our orders in, meals came out pretty quickly. Paris took our shake orders then too, which I assume is a very wise idea, and they came out as we finished eating. My food came out late, not a huge deal. I would rather it be me than one of the kids. I had the Buffalo chicken Mac n Cheese- and if you're a lover of anything spicy...you would probably get it too! It was okay, I mean, I ate all of it. But it definitely wasn't spicy like I would have liked. I had maybe 4 pieces of chicken in it- which isn't necessarily a deal breaker...but more would have been better. I loved the dusting of hot Cheetos on top and I could taste the Buffalo- but I woulda loved a cranked up version even better! It said it comes with Texas toast, but I got two slices of toasted bread...that I had to ask for because it was forgotten. And really, I shouldn't have bothered. But...yah girl at it anyways!! Muah ah ah. The shakes were monstrous and delicious! The kids absolutely LOVED them! They're definitely big enough for 2-3 people to dive into. I wouldn't go out of my way to go there- but the staff were all very kind and it seemed like a really good atmosphere to work in. So if you need a gig and you're living around Martin, TN - go check it out! Parking was tough for the time that we got there, but there seems to be two parking lots and some space outside the front of the building. I'm assuming the second parking lot connected is for The Grind - but you can't drive over to it from the first parking lot because of parking curbs. And the kids loved watching in real time as we "liked" the FB page and watched the numbers turn over!! read more

Whenever we come to visit family we always stop by here for good drinks and milkshakes! I don't think there is anywhere else in Martin that does outdoor seating, with a large patio space. Definitely something unique in this part of town. They should capitalize on it more especially on good weather days. Jordan was our bartender and she's great! Very nice and friendly, and makes the perfect cocktail. Management, please get a new blender in the bar area, that Walmart Hamilton Beach $20 blender is on its last leg! LoL read more

UPDATED REVIEW: Decided to stop in with my sister last minute around 4pm. It was already very busy. I've been here a few times and have decided this must be the only decent bar in Martin. We were told 2 hour wait for table but was able to immediately be seated by a very awesome host who asked some people to scoot to make 2 bar stools available. Thank you guy! We enjoyed our bloody Mary's and had the Deviled eggs and pickle fries. I wish they deep fried the deviled eggs like I've had at The Goat in Gatlinburg, thats pretty much the only way to have devils eggs as a appetizer anymore: We skipped the entrees today. Burgers are okay, not the best I've had. Milkshakes are what make this place famous . They looked awesome. Maybe next time! read more

Our server today was Skylar, or at least that was the name of the server on our check. She was awesome! Super welcoming and engaging, came back to check on us the right amount of times, very charismatic. Was able to remember everyone's orders without writing them down, which is crazy impressive to me. The place itself has a really nice atmosphere, lighthearted and with fun decorations. I really liked the Polaroids on the ceiling; there had to have been thousands of them. The food was good too - the menu is fun and I really liked the Mac n cheese I got. read more

The food was delicious, but way overpriced. I had the mac n cheese burger with fries and ate nearly every bit of it. We shared the s'mores milkshake but I definitely wouldn't get another milkshake from there again. When you take the toppings off there was very little of the actual milkshake. The service was great and very speedy and I loved the atmosphere of the place. As yummy as it was, I just didn't think it was worth the price we paid. But it was a fun experience with friends! read more

The service was great. The atmosphere was awesome. The food was great. Had the Chop Shop Pork chops. The sauce was delicious

We came 2 hours to try out some of the hot spots in Martin. We found The Grind highly recommended on the www.cityofmartin.net website.We ordered, tea, kids meal, onion rings, a burger and one of the shakes. This was on a Monday afternoon in January, not a holiday. We arrived at 12:09. We got our first food items at 1:09. The kids chicken fingers are just frozen fingers Not good. The fries were good. The onion rings were fine. They reminded me of Burger King. Not what I was expecting. They did not have enough staff so we had to flag someone down for anything. 2 girls for about 9 tables of 2 - 4 per table. When I burger finally came out, it had no toppings and was burnt. Literally, black on the top and bottom. We did not eat it and canceled our shake b/c at this point we had been there an hour and a half. Bad experience all around and very disappointing. So sad as we were so excited to try it. Do not recommend! read more

Amazing place with ambience of retro entertainment they have a collection of photos of all visitors. They have a collection of nintendo consoles. For instance i was shocked to see a nintendo zappper. They also have pac man games u can play while waiting for food. Also, food was pretty good. Service was really nice and present with whatever it is we needed. read more

The service was outstanding and the food was top notch. The mushroom Swiss burger was not overwhelming or difficult to eat yet a generous portion. The bun stood up to the meat, toppings, and juices. I upgraded from a side of fries to a side of Mac and cheese. It was adequate but next time would go with the typical side of fries. For dessert, I was presented with a dizzying tower of everything chocolate. The dining area is a little tight but not too bad. A couple at the next table requested the secret menu and I was invited by a server to play along which was entertaining. Overall a great experience and would definitely return next time I'm in the area. read more

The grind was good. They are very tourist friendly and I would definitely suggest a visit. The staff there is super nice and try their best to wrangle a busy restaurant. Seating is fairly limited so if you are able, try to go during off peak hours. They have crazy looking shakes that I would love to try when I get off my diet! read more

The Grind is definitely the place to go if you are looking for a good Burger, MAC and Cheese or a fabulously fun dessert. The High Energy, fun and witty staff keep the restaurant vibe very lively. We ate at the Grind on a Friday night, and had to wait maybe five minutes for a table. We were seated and Jonnie was our server. Jonnie was fun, and I recommend you ask for her as your server. We ordered a Patty Melt and a Nashville Chicken Sandwich, and both were delicious. We will be back next time we are in Martin, TN! read more

Where do I start!? I was concerned that we had a 20 minute wait to walk in, but we sat at the bar and had a great server/bartender. Started with the Million Dollar bacon. Just try it. Candied and then made crispy with a torch at the bar. Farmers daughter burger for lunch with amazing tots. Ok, you can get good food in lots of places, you pay (and not a ton) for the staff and atmosphere. The bartender Juggled a full bar an two tables and was super pleasant. Bet your ass we are coming back, don't get spooked if there is a line to get in, it moved fast. read more
