The food here is decent and the fries are some of the best with a crispy outside and a fluffy inside. But holy is it expensive eating here. For a cheeseburger combo and a chicken sandwich my total was over $32. Just a side of fries is $7. I understand food costs are up but if I had to feel a family of 4 I'm spending over $100 on a basic meal. read more

Ordered the carne asada nachos because I remembered that even though it was expensive at ~$20 w/ tax, it was a good-sized portion and they used good meat. Well, Not Anymore!! The cheese is now the gooey, movie theater/ball park junk, not real shredded cheese. The carne asada is now no longer chunks of steak but thin, skimpy, shredded pieces of beef that were overcooked and almost burnt. I won't be back. read more

The burgers had absolutely no flavor at all. It looked like they were frozen flat burgers, terrible

This time-worn little diner is located in a small, obscure plaza. The clientele seems to skew older. I have passed by it from time to time and decided to give it a try for lunch on a weekday. They have several booths indoors and some outdoor seating as well. You order at the counter and your food is brought to your table. The menu board has many options, mostly sandwiches and burgers. I decided on a chicken club sandwich and a strawberry milkshake. This stacked sandwich had fresh lettuce, tomato, and avocado along with some pieces of real chicken breast (not the sliced deli stuff) and crisp bacon. It was presented cut into four pieces which made for easy handheld eating. The shake was superb, very flavorful, topped with whipped cream and even had a strawberry in the glass. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to bus my table after eating but saw a tub near the counter so deposited my finished plate there. 3.5 stars rounded up due to friendly service. read more

On Saturday morning, my husband and I visited your Seal Beach, CA location after noticing an advertisement while passing by. It was our first time at your restaurant. We ordered two burger deals--my husband got an Orange Bang, and I got an Orange Fanta. While waiting for our food, my husband began drinking his beverage directly from the cup. After a few sips, he noticed several black specks inside. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that his drink contained multiple fruit flies. Alarmed, we immediately informed the cashier, Claudia. What was most concerning was not just the contaminated drink, but the response we received. Before my husband could finish explaining, Claudia interrupted, saying, "There's fruit flies," and replaced his cup without any apology or further action. No sign was placed to warn other customers, and no attempt was made to address or remove the contaminated dispenser. When I approached her again to ask for the manager, Claudia stated that she was the manager. I explained that my husband had unknowingly consumed fruit flies, and expressed my concern about the lack of apology and corrective action. Claudia's response was, "It's just fruit flies," followed by refusal to post a warning sign or clean the machine. When I mentioned that I would report this to the health department, her reply was, "Do whatever you want." This response was extremely unprofessional and dismissive of a clear health and safety issue. My husband consumed a contaminated drink, and other customers remain at risk since no corrective measures were taken. I find this unacceptable. I am requesting that this matter be taken seriously, that the dispenser be properly inspected and sanitized, and that appropriate action be taken regarding the lack of accountability shown by your staff. I would appreciate a call back to discuss how your company intends to address this issue. I have left a review on your company page with my contact information. I also called and left a message, with my contact information. No response. This picture was when he had already drank, almost half way down. Imagine how many he accidentally swallowed!? read more

Hot Off the Grill - Chicken Taco - Burgers Near Me - Seal Beach, California

I'm a 77 yo person who had not been out to a sit-down restaurant since 2019/2020. I took my grown son to lunch on the way home from a doctor's appointment. Ordered a couple of gyros and onion rings. Menu is extensive; portions abundant. Nothing fancy. It is a neighborhood diner-type eatery for basic grub. NOTE: I guess I have become so isolated and uncivilized that I forgot my manners: when I got home it hit me like a ton of bricks that I did not leave a tip in the jar or on the table. I felt so bad I couldn't sleep. I will drop by another day this week just to place a tip for them. They fulfill a thankless job and I am grateful. read more

It was so disappointing. The 2 fish sandwiches were so dry luckily I had tartar sauce at home I could put on it. And the zucchini was so wilted and soggy they should have been embarrassed to serve it. The prices on the website must be very old. $33 for 2 sandwiches and 1/2 zucchini order. I won't be back. I really was hoping it would be a regular stop. I'll continue going to Paul's. It's a few miles further but so much better. read more

Burgers have went up in price and down in size where is the beef? Bad business choice

the behaviors of employees having their meals at table next to us and not being at the ready is just a little off putting. still chewing while serving at counter is a little strange. its obvious the food quality but this place could make it with better lighting and a touch more refinement on service. read more

Ate there recently and thoroughly enjoyed the service and my grilled chicken salad. Very generous portions! Definitely will return! read more

Yup! This is my place! The staff is so freaking nice and always asking about my day! They have such great smiles and make you feel like family here!!!! I will always always be back!!!! read more

Nothing special. Prices Are Not Posted and are no bargain! Not worth the trouble of going!! read more

Today Sunday 7/30/23 My family and I attempted to dine at "Hot Off The Grill" in Los Alamitos, CA and I'm compelled to share my disheartening experience. Being disabled I've always known that restaurants in California accommodate all customers with disabilities, in compliance with the law "Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)". Upon my arrival, however, I was met with surprising resistance by a verbally aggressive employee as I kindly asked to be seated, I am accompanied by a service dog, a companion who assists me daily due to my seizure disability, and is permitted by law to accompany me in all public places. The female who is pictured in the attached photo refused to give me her name and yelled "No dogs allowed" my dog wearing her "Medical Service Animal" vest and badge, regardless I kindly replied " It is a service animal" she need said " I don't care! No dogs allowed we have the right to refuse service" the customers seated all turned around including (2) Los Alamitos police officers. I then said "This is against the American Disability Act" and she aggressively replied "I don't care!" and completely refused to serve me due to the presence of my service dog, which is a clear violation of the ADA. I tried to explain the legalities and the importance of my service dog, but to no avail. This experience left me feeling marginalized and discriminated against. The staff's lack of understanding and empathy was quite disconcerting. It is my hope that this incident will serve as a learning opportunity for "Hot Off The Grill" to improve their staff training and awareness about the ADA. It is essential for businesses, particularly those in the hospitality sector, to ensure their operations are inclusive and non-discriminatory. For now, I'm left with no choice but to give "Hot Off The Grill" a low rating and make a complaint to the ADA. I urge potential customers, particularly those with special needs, to consider this incident before deciding to dine here. The restaurant's non-compliance with ADA laws not only diminished my dining experience, but also showed a significant lack of sensitivity towards those with disabilities. It is my hope that no other customer will have to experience the same. read more

I just paid $18 for a pastrami sandwich only. Insane. And it's tiny as can be.... Rip off read more

We use to come here often! Stopped in for dinner and first of all my husband got a taco salad. The ground beef meat smelled and tasted horrible. He ordered a pastrami and was greasy and not made well. I ordered a tostada w/ chicken on a large shell. The chicken so dry and just weird looking and gross. The shell had 1 cucumber ? And a few tiny tomatoes on it. I didn't eat it. Very pricey also for junk. Will not be back. They were dead at 6pm. read more

They always close early before 8pm even in a Friday night owner is not involved and absent

Three stars means I like it fine. I come with my family when they suggest this place. I usually get a burrito, the bean&cheese is my favorite. I tried the taco salad tonight and it was generous. To-go only at 8:00pm when we ordered. They take Apple Pay! read more

One of the worst breakfast burritos I have had and it's expensive. The bacon was undercooked and the hash browns were undercooked. They need to learn how to cook. read more

Frequent stop for me, with great chili cheese fries and the best ranch. Good spot for a small family to sit down and have lunch. Outdoor seating too! read more

The menu is huge, the people are SO nice and attentive, the portions would fill up Shrek and the quality is top-notch. This is truly one of those hidden gems, tucked away between an AT&T and Verizon store in a shopping center that is virtually hidden from the Main Street. They have seating inside and out, with a walk-up order counter and table service once the order is ready. Maybe others have had different experiences, but ours was 5-star. Highly recommended. read more

My first and last time I come here , lady at the cashier wasn't polite at all, she wasn't courteous either, they need to work more on customer service. read more

I guess I should've read the reviews before I went. This place is so bad that I will never go back. The food is OK at the best. They just seem like they just don't care. If they actually care just a little bit, they might make some money, but customer service, and customer liking their food is not important to them. I get it now don't bother. In-N-Out is down the street. Even Carls Jr is better than this. read more

They are over priced and incompetent rip offs. Got the order wrong and missing items They Won't correct unless I drive my ass back there. Screw that. Thanks for the healthy does of anger and a crappy product . Thanks for getting my. Family order messed up. Hacks !!!! Update.

I called at 7:30pm on a Sunday and nobody answered the phone. I attempted 3 times. I drove there and arrived at 7:45pm and when I walked in they said they were closed. On Yelp in said they close at 11pm. I was never impressed with their food or services but this was the last straw. I have gone this Hot off the Grill for over 15 years. I won't be going there any more. read more

Great neighborhood eatery. Very casual. Burgers, fries, zucchini fries and milk shake a tasty. The pastrami sandwich is great. Thick slices of pastrami with lots of flavor. Going to have to try the Colossal burger next (cheeseburger with pastrami on top). And they're cop friendly! read more

I've been coming here since i was a kid 20 years ago. I'm visiting my family and came in at 7 am this morning with my service dog and was told she wasn't allowed inside which is illegal under ADA policy. The bleach blonde employee needs to study up on her food service laws and realize that is not lawful. Very disappointed read more

One positive is the big menu with a wide variety of options. Everyone in your group should be able to find something they want. Seating is limited and can get full when they are busy. When they are not busy, they will offer table service, but is just as easy to order at the counter. Staff are friendly and food is decent. Prices have gone up a lot (more than double) over the past few years, although that aligns with pretty much everything else in California. Portion for most items is large, so I can usually get two meals out of it, so that also helps. If in the area and hungry, it's worth checking out. read more

This review is specific to Hot Off the Grill's fabulous pastrami sandwich. Several local places "claim" to have the best pastrami sandwich....and I have researched them! I'm here to say that Hot Off the Grill serves the BEST pastrami sandwich around!!! Heaped high with delicious lean pastrami, with pickles and mustard on a Kaiser roll....yummy! I always tell myself that I will only eat half and save the rest for later, but I love it so much, I eat the entire sandwich ‍. It comes with steak fries (I actually prefer thin crispy fries, so I can skip these). They have several locations and all are great. The staff is friendly and efficient. I call in my order, so it's ready when I arrive . read more

Used to be good and with fair prices but the quality has dropped and the prices have gone way up! An order of toast is $4.25! The chili fries are $10.49. Ridiculous. Oh, and let's not forget to mention that there are no prices listed on the board or even in the printed menu. When I asked when the prices would be published, they said they didn't know. read more

Food was prompt, hot and delicious + the portions are definitely not stingy. Staff was friendly and they offer inside & outside seating.

Posted hours say they're open until 11pm. Walked in at 7:30 and was told that they're closed. Eff this place, their food is overpriced crap anyway. read more

This is close to home and one of our go-to breakfast spots. Been coming here since they opened the restaurant and never had bad service or bad food. It's usually crowded on weekend mornings for breakfast. I love the huevos rancheros and my wife loves the make your own omelets. The coffee is great! And the service from Claudia is excellent. She always comes to check on us and refill our coffee at least 3 times. And the best thing is they didn't raise their prices exorbitantly like other restaurants have over the past year! Good food at a good price! read more

Rude customer service. Overpriced mediocre food. Pass this up. Hofs Hut around corner has better food for less.

Saw this place looking out my hotel windows (Ayres Hotel-5 stars there too). A lot of people going in and out of the door. After reading the reviews, I decided to take a look. First this is NOT a "Mexican place" and does not say this anywhere. It serves a wide variety of food and ice cream desserts Do I feel it's "over priced", not for the amount of good food you get. Plus it's served fresh and hot. As I'm sitting here trying to finish the Mixed burrito I ordered, the booths keep filling up with friendly people wanting a good lunch that will keep you fueled for the rest of the day. The Mixed burrito I ordered was stuffed with ham, bacon, sausage, eggs, hash browns and cheese. It was excellent and the salsa on top added just the right amount of heat. I'm watching burgers, onion rings, sandwiches... going by to other tables. All of it looks fantastic! Plus thereShakes, Sundaes and BANANA SPLITS!! The staff is friendly which is always nice. Come try it for yourself read more
