Cheeseburger was excellent, service was excellent. Friendly folks, was a great lunch at a great price. I only wish the joint was air conditioned, but not a deal breaker. read more

They're not closed!!! Went here last week, got a fried bologna sandwich and fries. Food was really good, restaurant was clean, and the staff were very nice. Food came super quick. Really enjoyed the grill! read more

A coworker and I went to The Grill today. I was my first time dining there. I ordered the English Dogs and onion rings. My coworker got a hamburger. She said they have the best burgers around. My hot dogs were pretty good. I wasn't a big fan of the type of ranch they use. I'm a ranch dipper, lol. I dip my onion rings in it. But the chili they used was pretty tasty. I'll definitely be back whenever I'm on the West Side. Pop, onion rings, and two dogs was close to $15 (excluding tip). That was a little higher than what I expected, but prices are higher everywhere nowadays unfortunately. read more

I was in Charleston working and saw commercial about some guy name Sheff running for some office, BUT what I remember most was he got a Hot Dog at THE GRILL and I had to try it out. I got a hot dog with chili, slaw and onions light on the mustard and fries with a cup of ice for my drink in the car. No dining in at the time due to Covid 19, so I paid $7 with tip and taxes. Only major complaint they didn't give me ketchup, straw or napkins. The Hot Dog was very good. Great chili and slaw. Bun was slightly steamed I definitely would eat here again read more

This place is a classic hole-in-the-wall, with GREAT food! I need to get my pal Guy Fieri here to do a "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives!" Episode. I had two English Dogs with chili and Cole Slaw today, on two great toasted split buns! This place has great burgers, but maybe the BEST French Fries in West Virginia! Brown and crisp on the outside, hot and moist on the inside - potato Heaven!! Great daily specials on Charleston's hip Elk City district!!! read more

Delicious! English dogs and onion rings! Absolutely Amazing! 5/5 stars and would highly recommend!

The business is closed/out of business. We went by tonight, a Monday evening, based on recent reviews. Yelp verified they were open on Monday at 6:30 pm, but when we arrived the door was double locked, the lights were off and signs in the window said "coming soon". Don't know what's "coming soon" but it's not the business that Yelp indicates is serving food from that location. read more

I was in town visiting and was across the street getting my shoes repaired when I needed to kill some time and was hungry. The place is not very lavish but the food and the customer service is excellent. I had the special of the day which was catfish and fries and it was very good. I was the only person at the time so can't speak to eye candy. However, I would visit again. read more

The Grill - Beer Bar Near Me - Charleston, West Virginia

I love the Grill!! The Hamburgers are amazing, the hotdogs are really good too! Have to try the Onions and oh the taco dog ( YES) ...... It is my go to when I want something fast and friendly service from a hometown feel. read more

Food was ok, not great. Service was pathetic. Slow,. Asked me to move tables after I sat down because "they have a guy that comes in later and likes that table". read more

First time going here and I fell in love. I don't think I will ever find a burger so juicy and flavorful like I have here, anywhere else! I got a regular cheese burger expecting it to be half dry because most burgers are like that. But no, not here, this was excellent. This burger was so juicy and cooked so well. I didn't even realize I took a bite of the burger. This is saying a lot because the burger only had cheese, tomato and light mayo. After eating the burger I almost got another one to go. The only thing that stopped me was my wallet lol if not for that. I saw another burger in my future. My friend who dined with me had hotdogs. And me being from Michigan, I was very surprised at them with the coleslaw. But if your traveling in this area and you are curious give those dogs a try. They were mouth watering too! read more

I love this locally owned, homemade food restaurant. Haven't been here in awhile and was craving their cheeseburger!

Simple but delicious when you want an old fashioned hamburger! The wings weren't bad either.

Had dinner at the GRILL this evening with two of my best friends for a birthday celebration. We were very excited to try it. I must tell everyone that is was very disappointing. Two of us ordered filet tips,Brussels sprouts and macaroni and cheese. We also ordered appetizers. We ordered stuffed mushrooms, artichoke dip and some kind of potato appetizer. Service was just so so. Not good and not the worse that I have had. Food was absolutely a disappointment. Had to send it back due to being cold. I doubt that we would go back there due to the quality of food for the price. I don't know right off the bat if I have had that bad of food anywhere of the caliber that that restaurant was suppose to be. Would have to give it a 1 star. The place was not even busy and it was a Friday evening. read more

Do yourself a favor and order the white beans with a slice of cornbread. Customer service is friendly and laid back. There is no other place doing comfort/country food this consistently and this well. I truly love this place. Plus, where else are gonna wet your whistle with a classic selection of domestics cheaper than you will here?! read more

This is certainly a hidden gem in Charleston. This place offers great "home cooked" meals, with a wide selection. Each day there are specials and they are usually the best meals to order. Burgers and cornbread/beans are always good. Not the nicest interior (older decor and a little rundown) but the food is worth it! read more

The Grill is the perfect casual spot for your 9-5 lunch break. Great food for not that much money. The double chilly dogs were my go to with fries. It's a nice spot bc you can tell they have usuals for casual lunch. My only complaint is that they could use some facility upgrades and an interior designer. read more

Daily specials! Can't beat the seasonal BLT made with green tomatoes! Best taco salad in town! And, one of the best Reubens! Check out their FaceBook page for weekly menu. read more

Stopped for lunch passing through town. Couldnt have been more dissapointed! Floor was dirty and had food all over. Paint on table was half chipped off and not even a plastic ta le cloth. Ordered boneless chicken dinner, it was a chicken mcnugget on steroids. All pressed together with rock hard tatseless batter. Canned green beans and two rolls with a gigantic blob of some kind of gold oleo! Should have guessed when I arrived and used the bathroom. Terrible! I love small family places but this was really bad. read more

I'm giving this place 4 stars for one reason and one reason only, the dining environment is old and dingy looking (but clean). The restaurant is in an old building in one of the oldest districts in town, the menu is on a chalk board and if your sitting at the table beneath, you feel as though everyone is watching you eat. The best Vegetable Beef soup in the Kanawha Valley. Hot dogs are wicked on an English bun. Best sandwiches in town! The pulled pork BBQ sandwich is a gift from the gods. It an old joint so don't expect much in dining atmosphere, but don't let first impressions fool you, this is the best place in town for lunch. Most underrated restaurant in town. read more

I'm so very torn about this place. I'll start with the positives: the food is great, and is a great representation of what you come to love about southern cooking, and even a few surprises such as the oliviero cheeseburger. The wait staff is friendly, inviting and prompt. The ambiance reflects a great amount of pride in the local culture, featuring posters of famous mountaineer football players, including, randomly enough, pat white. Additionally, for those traveling through town, it's conveniently located right off the highway, which makes it ideal for a quick pit stop, which they certainly are able to deliver on. Despite all of this, I can't in good conscience say this place is between four and five stars. The biggest detractor is is that it feels dirty. I'm sure the service industry isn't exactly booming in charleston, but a restaurant should at least put a modicum of effort forward in making sure that their surfaces and decor are somewhat tidy. I was thinking initially about two stars for the grill, but this restaurant went a long way in changing my mind about West Virginia, which in my circle of friends (including someone attending med school at Marshall) is bad mouthed consistently. I certainly wouldn't be disappointed to return here, or charleston in general, should my travels take me back through WV. read more

If you're looking for some great local establishments you need to stop here. Ownership is very nice and accommodating. But the best thing is the food. My kids loved the hamburgers and told me they are the "best ever". No bites were left on their plate. I ordered the Reuben with white beans and cornbread. No exaggeration when I say it was one of the best Reubens I ever had. Next time I am in Charleston I will stop here for sure. read more

I almost did not stop for lunch here because there were only 5 yelp reviews. Well the type of folks who eat here are probably not hanging out on their smartphones! This place is the kind of gem that I usually hope yelp will guide me to-- if you are driving thru definitely stop for a bite of classic Americana done with care. Another reviewer commented on the environment but I would say it adds to the experience. read more

Just a small hole in the wall on the West Side, but for the price, you cant beat it. You be surprised how many attorneys, businessmen, and doctors frequent this place. I usually get a bowl of Brown Beans, Corn Bread, and an Ice Tea,. Don't expect anything lavish. But you will enjoy the food. Ask for the Divorce Chowder! Its good! read more

Awesome burger joint. Couldn't ask for a better atmosphere. Really chill people and cool memorabilia on the wall. 10/10 recommend.

Although I did not actually eat there yet, I enjoyed the staff and owners immensely. We stopped in to relax at the end of the Octoberwest celebration and were greeted with smiles and wonderful conversation from the owners. The Grill has a rich history and I'm hoping to return to Charleston to have one of their famous burgers! I would highly recommend stopping by The Grill, David and his wife are good people! read more

Delicious burgers and rubens. Hard working and friendly staff. I recommend eating here instead of a chain restaurant.

Horrible, in every respect. Slow. Very slow. Dirty. Food: meh. The menu is on whiteboard and doesn't show prices. Imagine our surprise at a $20 Bill for a turkey burger and a hotdog with fries. We clearly picked the wrong exit too get off for lunch! read more

Fantastic! I'm from Boston where places like this are on many corners-however, very few and far between here in Charleston. The food is excellent, just like having Nana cook for you; (and my Nana made the best). The folks working here are really friendly and welcoming. They have daily specials in addition to their 'whiteboard' menu; such as creamed chicken & fried green tomato BLTs. I highly suggest their cheeseburger & fries as well. We always sit at the counter, chit chat with Dave (the owner), his daughter & the other friendly staff, eat fantastic food, and watch Espn. Love this place! read more

This place was great. It's very old-school diner at the service was stellar and the customers all knew the owner and each other. I'm from out of town so I just yelped and found them from the freeway and you can tell I'm from California (I called it a freeway) what a treat to be able to get off on time not to back track! Been on the road for 2 months and it is great when I find a treasure. read more

Pretty good home style food. I had the creamed chicken and it was pretty tasty. Not a fancy place but enjoyed the meal.

Don't let that guy who's trying to ruin this family business by throwing out the race card deter you. This is great food, an institution in Charleston, and has great prices. read more

Great food and friendly, prompt service. It's a hole in the wall and nothing fancy just good American food and a very local feel. Plenty of TVs in the back of you want to watch the games. read more

I come to Charleston about once a month from Florida for photography work and I ALWAYS stop here. The food is amazing, Pete Allison and Dave are always very inviting, friendly, and treat me like family. the cheeseburger is to die for. Plus, who doesn't love good old fashioned beans and cornbread cooked right and always hot. As long as it's open I'm eating. read more

Great burger and everyone made you feel like they where genuinely glad you came! I'm going back!

Hope you like leftovers from yesterday and the atmosphere of a 1940's sports bar. The winter time is the best here for chili and the rest of the food is something you can make at home for half the price of what he ask. As i entered with my friends we were not greeted as customers more or less like; Tell me what you want to eat and pay me and leave, And always sports on tv if you don't like the season of the sport don't expect to watch something else. This place is full of old-tymers. read more

I love it. The wait is a little long but its worth it. There fries are the best. Even if you don't like burgers, one bite of theirs will make you love them. And the servers are really friendly. One of the servers named Pete, he'll sit down and talk to you while you eat. And then there's Allison. She's super awesome. The place is pretty clean and they always have the game on. 10/10 read more

Best kept secret in Charleston. Had the Ruben was the owners father's favorite sandwich it was perfect.

Visiting from DC as a disaster relief worker. Stopped in to The Grill which looks like it's the local watering hole. Had the best burger and onion rings there. The people are nice and the food is fantastic. read more

The staff was a bit unhelpful. I'd never been in before and I asked what is good/popular there. They only answered 'everything'. They also assumed I wanted my food to go, but I did not. The food however was very good. read more
