I love this place! It's reasonably priced a really good! I prefer Al Hamra more, but this food is good. The basic Kobideh is filling and tasty! I stay away from the non Mediterranean items. Meats that have been sitting in steam table trays for hours should come with disclaimers. I don't hold it against them. You can place an order, go shopping and generally, your order be done at the conclusion of shopping. So, I have a new rating system......I will be write what I feel honestly about an establishment. The only ratings I will give are 5 stars, which is enjoyable, or 3 stars which is "needs work." read more

Market Grill is located inside of Jon's Market. There is plenty of parking. As you enter Jon's Market, Market Grill is to the left. There are a couple of tables and chairs for a quick meal. Our go to meal is MMP 1 which includes: 1 Whole smoked chicken 1 Large basmati rice 1 Medium salad shirazi (cucumber, tomato, onion salad) The chicken, we will request it to be cut in 8 pieces and to provide bbq sauce and salad dressing on the shirazi. We've also enjoyed the tri tip, sausage, ribs, salmon, white fish, and kabob. They will run out so try to go before the lunch or dinner rush. read more

For fast Mediterranean food, Market Grill inside Jon's Market is highly recommended for quality & price. My favorites are the Chicken & Beef kabobs, Chicken Bargs. Service is fast & staff patient. read more

I've been to Market Grill once before but somehow only noticed the American BBQ part. The other day I was yelping Mediterranean food and had to do a double take when it listed Market Grill at the very top. Conveniently located inside Jon's Market, there is a big parking lot but just be aware of people driving in the wrong direction. *SMH* Market Grill is Just to the left when you first enter. You won't miss it as all the wonderful aromas come wafting towards you. There is quite a selection and you can order your kebabs at the same time as your baby back ribs. I ordered #3 which comes with chicken kebab and a beef kebab along with basmati rice, a green pepper and a tomato as well as a small cup of refreshing cucumber salad. We also ordered the baby back ribs with two sides. There are plenty of choices for sides. We chose the potato wedges which I didn't care for because they were too crunchy and the veggies. The portions for both orders are huge and it took us two days to finish them. The meats were cooked perfectly and were so flavorful. You can order by phone but I only had a 10 minute wait on a Saturday night. You can opt to shop in the market while you wait for the order or sit at one of the tables. I was very pleased with my order and will be back to try the other offerings. read more

Okay boys and girls, don't waste your money at Chicken Maison or similar spots that give you miniscule chicken pieces on the shishkabob orders. If you truly want the best kabob for your money, come here and enjoy a delicious and Houmongus chunks of chicken kabob. The dish is made to order and the chicken it's absolutely juicy, tender and flavourful. The order comes with a generous portion of basmati rice, a huge tomato and pepper plus a side cucumber salad. I've been here before and other dishes such as the tri-tip, the chicken, the chicken skewers, the lentil soup, the potatoes have all been amazing. One order is sufficient for two people at a minuscule price. This grill is inside Jon's Market. It definitely does not disappoint. There are tables if you want to eat there and you don't mind the ambiance of not being a regular restaurant but you will be glad that you came to eat all of this amazing food. read more

I was here for the bbq two days in a row!! The bbq is soooooo good and compared to other establishments you can't beat MG prices! I loved the ribs, smoked chicken and sausages. The sides are good as well! I had the potato salad and the cornbread muffins melt in your mouth! The service is great and the place itself is clean and inviting! It's inside Jon's grocery store but don't sleep on Market Grill!!! read more

Located inside Jon's market, I had no idea that this place existed until our friends catered chicken and beef kabobs and veggies for our group gathering. The portions were big and everything was cooked well and tasted delicious. I've also had their tri tip and it's always cooked perfectly for my taste. Love this place!! read more

Located inside Jon's Market, you can choose traditional American BBQ or Middle Eastern food. Just like everything at Jon's, the quality is excellent and there's something for everyone at Market Grill. You can take out or order at the counter and dine-in. I usually order and then shop a little before picking up my order. Of course, I ordered the Chicken Koobideh. It came with, interestingly enough, a large corn muffin plus a delish cucumber condiment salad. Yum! The only thing missing was the garlic toum which I did purchase separately from the actual grocery section at Jon's. I would definitely be back again. Parking in the large lot. read more

Food is always good. I cater from here often and it's always a great experience. The staff is very helpful and friendly.

I love stopping by here when I get the chance! Fast, affordable, delicious and so many options. Everything is well seasoned. I haven't explored the b.b.q. side besides their chicken but everything to the left side is delicious! The picture shows a drink with their combo but they don't have drinks, ever. You're paying for the plate itself. They should at least reduce the cost since there's no actual drink included or remove the drinks from the photo. @makeMePrettie Highly recommend! Try different things when you're there! read more

Amazing Mediterranean food and selection, kebabs and skewers are great, and they have party platters

Located inside Jon's Marketplace on 190th street in Torrance is Market Grill. Market Grill offers both Mediterranean cuisine and American cuisine. On the Mediterranean side one can get a variety of kabobs, lentil soup and basmati rice. One of my favorites is getting the Mixed Koobideh with Cali Rice and Dill and Fava Bean Rice. I love their different basmati rice. Typically combos just come with plain basmati rice but you can pay an extra $3 and get the special basmati rice that has veggies or other topings. The extra $3 is a tad pricey but the special basmati rice such as the Dill and Fava Bean rice is so good. It is a meal in itself. The American side is called the Smokehouse and they offer different bbq such as tritip, bbq ribs and sausage. The meat is so tender. You can pair the meats with a variety of sides such as creamed spinach and potato wedges. Prices range from $8.99 lunch specials to mixed plates for $16.99. The prices are fairly good and you get a ton of food. They also offer specials of the week which can be found in their weekly ads. I love getting lunch here after grocery shopping at Jon's because the food is fair in price and great in taste. read more

So good! Who would've guessed that a grocery store deli style Mediterranean/Smoked BBQ meats place would be so good? I don't have pics of our food cuz we ate it so quick! Was looking for some Mediterranean food around where I was driving and came across the yelp reviews here. Granted there aren't a lot but they are all high. I decided to give it a shot and we ordered the beef koubideh plate, the chicken koubideh lunch special (a good deal) and the chicken kebab plate. Everything was deeeelish! I also ordered 2 lbs of their smoked baby back ribs and 1 lb of smoked tri-tip (sold by the pound or as dinner combos with sides) to bring home for dinner. The meats were really well done! Even after reheating they were tender and the flavor was such smoky goodness. Their bbq sauce tasted homemade it I really liked it--it wasn't too tangy or too salty. Would definitely order from here again!! We did have to wait for them to cook the lunch food but we just shopped around the Jon's marketplace! read more

I hate leaving these kind of review....3 stars. The customer service was amazing, but the food was just okay and very bland.

Market Grill - Bbq - Mediterranean Near Me - Torrance, California

So many grocery stores are competing in the take out meal category these days. Jon's has an excellent entry in this category with their Market Grill. I was in for supper and I went for the BBQ section as the 'Greek' food looked a little tired. I went for the 6 oz tri tip. It wasn't tender but it wasn't chewy. Not a lot of flavour to it so thank goodness for the BBQ sauce you can get. It both 'softens' up the beef and adds some much needed flavour. The potato wedges were crunchy and tasty, even late in the day. I was hoping for one of their salad sides but they were out so I had to settle on the baked beans. They were okay, nothing special Glad I tried but I would not go out of my way to try it again. read more

Love love love grabbing food here! The Hawaiian Chicken is my go-to, sooo tender and flavorful and yay onions . The staff is always super friendly and quick with the service, and the price is very reasonable for a good amount of food. read more

Pleasant surprise. Enjoyed the flavorful grilled meats. Cucumber salad was bland - had to dress it up. Other sides were OK. Inconsistent quantity on sides and carved meat, depending on server - from adequate to quite generous servings. Overall excellent value. Would like to be able to buy the meat entrées separately, rather than limited to plates with sides included. Near dinner time, popular items ran out. Lower priced lunches offered. Conveniently inside market that sells amazing variety of East European and Middle Eastern foods at good prices. One can supplement take-out food with more economical market items. read more

Every time I go here there is no lunch menu only a few things you can order and bbq which price is pretty high. Please don't advertise lunch menu on yelp or other places if you will not offer it. read more

Excellent food! Shish kabob, ribs, tri-tip, saffron rice, good prices. The reason I gave 4 stars is because your chicken veggie soup is made with fresh veggies except for the slimy canned mushrooms that I picked out today (and there were A LOT). Should be called mushroom soup, aughhh. Please replace with fresh mushrooms (or none at all). They're gross. TY! :) read more

I was stopping by the store to grab some things to make for dinner. I couldn't help but to follow the smell of amazing fresh food being served right next to me. As I approached, I was greeted with a warm welcome and a free sample of the best Hawaiian Chicken I have ever tasted! I ordered their Ghormesabzi (Herb Stew) and Chicken Barg Kabob. I can't explain how delicious they both were! Truly cooked to perfection! Traditional and Tasty! They will most definitely host all my events as well as be our go to spot for quick, clean and great food! Must go and check them out! read more

I'm new here on Yelp and I decided to review this restaurant here because I'm trying to put them on the map. It's THAT good. They have a large variety of options, there's Mediterranean dishes such as chicken and beef kabobs and home cooked stews. There's also Hawaiian chicken and fire chicken skewers that come with 2 sides. There's soooooo many side options. The taste of everything is superb. Not to mention the look and service of this place is unbeatable. Definitely gets an A+ from me! read more

Very good food in Jon's market. Not a typical food court in the grocery store. It's way beyond that. The smoke chicken is the our favorite, the best tasting chicken in this neighborhood hands down. The koobideh plates are freshly made and great price for the portion of food. But the meat is slightly dry, grab some hummus and garlic sauce that conveniently located in Jon's, that accompany this kind of dish very well. read more

I trusted the good reviews and came here to pick up chicken kebab + 2 sides. Nothing special.. chicken was huge so it's a good deal but it's not that good. One of the sides I picked was beans with sausages.. it almost tasted like canned beans. I think it's 2 stars if I only think about the food.. but 3 because of the reasonable pricing. Probably won't come back. read more

Great place! Delicious and well cooked food! Fish, meat and all sides are daily fresh. Prices are very affordable. It is conveniently located inside Jone's market, if you'd like to get a dessert or ice cream after your meal you can find a lot of great options on the store shelfs or even in deli section right next to the Market Grill cash register. read more

I picked up some kebobs for work. The food was great and the price was very reasonable. Highly recommended.

We have been ordering food here for a long time - when it was just the Smokehouse section. Now that there is a Mediterranean and an American food section, picking up food for all members of my family has been easier! For the bbq, we love the tri-tip and smoked chicken. The pink ring from the smoking is present and the meat taste delicious. There are no toughness or fatty pieces. The chicken is good that it is completely smoked and tender. Breast meat is not dry at all and the dark meat is super moist. On the Mediterranean side the koobideh (beef and chicken) are full of flavors, portion is good too. The sides are great too. We enjoy the mac & cheese and mashed potatoes. Basmati is fluffy and Shirazi (tomato/cucumber) salad is refreshing. I don't recall any of the other sides we've tried were bad at all. They're all good and flavorful. Main entree portions aren't small but a little bit on the generous side. The service is always friendly quick and efficient. The workers are really nice & helpful too. We have ordered at the counter and over the phone. The wait is never too long. If it is, at least you can place your order and do some grocery shopping while your order is prepared. read more

We've been coming in and picking up BBQ for over 10 years here! So tasty! Beats fast food any day, especially after a full day of work and you don't know what to make for dinner. Smoked chicken, tri-tip, ribs, and brisket are our go to's! read more

Beef koobideh is the bomb. Rice, cucumber salad . Tzatziki sauce is considered a side so you pay extra, but their price and portions are considerable. I get two meals from their servings. They also have smoked meats. Usually will pick up a smoked chicken too. Located in the Jon's grocery store, so the place has not closed during the pandemic. I saw a lady who said that her relatives owned a local Persian restaurant and she was ordering here, so I figured this place must be good, it was. read more

It's was good I caught what was left for the end of the day and I can say it was still good tastefull

Delicious food and fast we don't have to wait to much fast & Delicious Chicken Barg Kabob.and good services

We recently catered from this place for a friends baby shower and the food was extremely delicious - all of it! The manager, Brian, was extremely helpful in creating a personalized menu and making sure we had enough food and variety without over doing it! The price was beyond reasonable and many people walked away with their contact info! I came from NorCal and Brian was trusting and flexible in his normal deposit policy as well. One thing to note, this is a restaurant in the Jon's market - we drove around looking for the place only to realize we had to go inside! It's too bad I don't live in SoCal, else I'd be back here in an instant! Thanks Brian and team! read more

Absolutely love this place! The food is authentic, delicious, and always fresh. We went to Brian to help us get sorted out for a graduation party and he went above and beyond to make sure we got everything we needed. The food was a big hit. We still go there all the time for lunch or if we're having guests over. Great people, great food, and great service...what else could you ask for? Do yourself a favor and check them out. read more

Good place. A bit busy and had to wait in line outside store. The Mediterranean plates are good.
