Fried zucchini!!! All day, every day! The fried zucchini is really good. It's crispy and cooked well inside. I saw one of the Yelpers recommend it, so I had to try them. They did not disappoint! The fried zucchini was a 10/10 for me and my husband. The Oreo shake was great. It was creamy and had a smooth consistency. No chunks of anything. It had good flavor too. The Oreo was there, but it wasn't over-powering. Solid Oreo shake! 10/10 Here's what I didn't love. My salmon plate with hummus and a salad. The salmon was cooked well, but it had zero flavor. It was a bit dry inside and with no flavor, it was hard to eat. Just tasted so bland. Every bite felt like a chore to eat. It did not excite my taste buds in anyway. I got halfway through the salmon filet and decided to stop torturing myself. Tossed the rest in the trash. The hummus didn't taste fresh. It tasted like store bought hummus thrown on my plate. Not good and also lacking on flavor. The salad was fresh. Overall, this was a disappointing plate for me. 6/10 My husband got a burger, chili cheese fries and a hot dog. He was raving about the hot dog and burger. He loved those. I would say he was a 10/10 for those easily lol

The Grill is a good place to grab take out. I miss the old restaurant before the remodel. Now it seems to small for dine in. I used to enjoy a beer and sit at the spacious tables. Anyhow, the gyro plate is delicious and affordable. The hummus is good and the salad is amazing. Service is always good.

Way better than expected. Stopped here as I was driving by and I'm glad I did. Too many options so you know I'll be back. Friendly service with an ultra clean dining area.

Dang.... 5 stars for the Fried Zucchini with Ranch. The ranch is tangy and the fried zucchini has the perfect batter.

Krystle G.

The Grill's Fried Zucchini and Ranch is all I need to get. It is dee-lic-ious! The zucchini is thin, not thick, with a perfect crunchy panko batter. Then you have a great balance of a tangy ranch to compliment the Fried Zucchini, all make this place have the best Fried Zucchini dish to me. At least, I haven't found a better one yet. But right now, this is my go-to for Fried Zucchinis :) Thank you The Grill!

Recently my coworker got lunch from here and brought it in the office and offered some of her fried zucchini and when I found out it was from here, I was sold. I've been by 3 times since then and I've tried a patty melt, the club sandwich and the pancake combo. Overall I'd say the food is really good. I used to work close by to Paul's Place and I'd say Paul's is still my fave, but the Grill is the newer, nicer version. Every time I've stopped by, either in the drive-thru or at the counter, the staff ladies have been so nice and helpful. I feel like the customer service here is more mature than going to a chain restaurant. The portions are great for what you pay. I thought the patty melt was ok, the pancake breakfast was standard mom and pop to-go pancake breakfast combo and it was filling. My favorite things I've had so far are the club sandwich and the fried zucchini. The best club sandwich I used to get was from the Fullerton Marriott and this just reminds me of that one. It's really good, filling and it's nothing crazy that strays from a solid club sandwich. Also, everything goes great with ranch. I would stop by here over a chain restaurant because the service is great, it's clean inside and newer and the food is solid.

To my surprise, this small spot was absolutely packed at 11am when I came. I always drove by so I decided to check it out for brunch on Sunday and when I say it was packed, I mean literally every table was full including their outside dining area. Luckily a small table opened up and I was able to get seated with my 93 year old grandma. This place is a local diner, so I was surprised how full it was. They sell Mexican food, American food, Mediterranean, and breakfast foods. I was so confused on which to get because as I looked around, everyone was eating a mix of everything. I ordered the #5 which came with 3 eggs cooked to actual perfection, a huge plate of hash browns, couple pieces of bacon, and some French toast. Everything was perfect cooked as I'd imagine, and by the end of it all I was extremely full. I enjoyed every bite and the workers checked up on my table plenty of times, so A+ for service. From the looks of it, it seemed like everything here on the menu is a favorite, so I'd definitely come back for brunch again or to even try something new on the menu.

Gyro Dinner, New York Steak, Onion Rings, kid chicken strips

This drive through was amazing. I got so much food for a reasonable price. And it was fast. The steak was a little over cooked to my temperature, but the flavor was spot on. The onion rings were a highlight. And gyro plate was equally delicious. I didn't try the chicken strips but my kids loved them. Definitely my place to go if I'm ever in the area again.

The Grill is an awesome corner restaurant. If I'm craving breakfast or delicious comfort foods, this place is perfect. Especially if you are in a hurry, there is a drive-thru. I have tried a breakfast burrito, bacon and french toast, LA street dog and taquitos, all delicious! LA street dog definitely lives up to its name. The taquitos (an order has 3) was tasty and filling. It was topped with a generous amount of guacamole, diced tomatoes and cheese. I look forward to trying different items in the future.

We found this place on yelp while looking for something quick and family friendly on our way into town. We're so glad we gave it a try! The inside is clean, bright, and inviting. The staff are so friendly and ready to help with anything you need. They were patient as we reviewed the menu and looked at pictures as first timers. As a large family of 4 adults and 2 kids, we ordered the 4x4x4 (four burgers, four fries and four sodas) and added on one more burger and decided we needed to also try the taquitos which were so good! When the food came out it looked hot and fresh and tasted delicious. I'd say this is a good alternative to those looking for more variety than your typical McDonald's or Burger King, as they also serve breakfast and a few Mexican dishes. The zucchini fries were heavily recommended and reviewed on yelp so we upgraded one of our fries to those and they did not disappoint - it was like a panko breading. I did reduce my stars from 5 to 4 due to no high chairs or changing table in the bathroom which as a mom is important to me.

Mary E.

Amazing. Home style feel and cooking. So many options! Open everyday from 7am to 10 pm and have a drive through. For sure a win!

I loved the grill so much even before their remodel. They added a drive thru within the past few months and I would imagine there's a huge learning curve and growing pains involved with trying to make things quickly but they've almost always been quick and pretty nice You get some cheaper sizable portions with a diner style vibe so you can't really complain if things get a little busy now and then.

Came to The Grill after a soccer game and so glad we did. Food was delicious (didn't even get a picture before we all dove in). Customer service was excellent. Super attentive, asked if we wanted refills, and if my kids could receive a little surprise after the meal. The location looks brand new. Very modern, open, and clean. If you are in the area and have mixed cravings this is your spot. Burgers were juicy and thick. My asada fries had great flavor and if a spot can make good beans you know the rest will taste good as well. Definitely would come back and recommend. read more

I don't understand the people hatin on the grill, it's hella good! The food is excellent and the quality has been consistent for years. I used to work in Fullerton and the Grill was on our regular lunch rotation. Their burgers were my guilty pleasure (SOOOO GOOD). Today I needed a post workout breakfast so I got the avocado, bacon cheese omelette which was served with hash browns. The omelette was delicious but of course I couldn't finish it all (this is really big food). The hash browns are great too but I'm trying to cut down on carbs so I only took a couple of bites....I had to. LOL I don't have a lot to say about the service other than it was pretty quick and the cashier was very friendly. If you are in Fullerton and looking for quality order counter for dine in, the grill is it! Highly recommended. #supportlocal read more

Decided to try this place today. We ordered an all meat burrito and an asada. The hubby said his was good but smaller than Chipotle's. The asada burrito was just ok. I really didn't like how tiny the meat was cut it looked like ground beef My kid got the tenders combo and the tenders were tough...she didn't eat them all and she loves tenders. The fries were decent. We ordered chips and salsa the chips didn't taste homemade and for salsa instead of giving a large order of the salsa they gave those tiny cups ‍ Like c'mon!! And they only gave us 4 little cups but we also got burritos ‍Cheap! Also, this is a pet peeve of mine...they don't line the styrofoam plates they just place hot food in it!! Luckily, none of the food burned through. Don't plan to go back. Not worth it. read more

There's plenty of seating inside if you want to take a little bit of a break from moving around all day. The food here is great. I got the chicken souvlaki pita wrap, and my girlfriend got the lamb/beef gyro wrap. Both were really tasty. The meat in these is cooked to perfection and seasoned beautifully. The pita is soft and the sauce is really nice and complimentary. We do wish there was a bit more veggies in these wraps, as the meat can get rich and overpowering at times, but other than that, no complaints. Nick's fries are your classic loaded fries with sauce, feta, meat, and green onions. Their fries taste great on their own, and even better in these. The feta does get a bit overpowering but its not a complaint for me... I LOVE FETA. Overall, my experience at Nick the Greek was really positive. I'd give everything an 8.5/10. 100% gets a recommendation from me and I WILL be coming back!

In-N-Out Burger

This review is LONG overdue for In-N-Out, I have been to over 20 locations and have to say every…read moretime they have always delivered above and beyond. These locations are clean, and I mean spotless. You won't go 15 minutes without seeing someone wiping down and cleaning in the lobby, restrooms and patios. The food? You already know it's the best burger in any town you're in. The talent with In-N-Out is the consistency of quality and fresh food time and time again. For this specific location in Placentia, it does not have a drive thru, so parking may be tight but it shouldn't be a problem as the dining room is huge. My experience was amazing here in Placentia, and the team here is special and will take good care of you with a smile. Thank you store #32! You guys are the best!!

**NO DRIVE-THRU AT THIS LOCATION**…read more PARKING (3/5): Small parking lot, gets full during peak hours and you may have to park on the nearby residential streets and walk a tiny bit. The only downside about not having a drive-thru here because parking can get challenging. SERVICE (5/5): Always top tier service at all In-n-outs! FOOD (5/5): The quality of the food for the price you pay is outstanding. I don't even like hamburgers, but if I ever do crave a hamburger it's In-n-Out. $5.50 FLYING DUTCHMAN WRAPPED WITH WHOLE GRILLED ONIONS - this was honestly the best thing I've ever eaten here! It's 2 patties with cheese, and whole grilled onions that act as the bun. Must love onions. I would totally get this for my normal order going forward if I don't want a bun. Amazingly delicious. $2.35 FRY "WELL-DONE" - only do this if you love crispy fries like myself. It also takes a little bit longer since they make them fresh. So BE PATIENT! Good things are worth the wait. $2.30 SOFT DRINK - the drink is as much as the fry! I don't drink soda often, nor get a hamburger, so I order everything at once just to get it out of the way.

The check-in didn't work…read more I placed an order on the app. Pulled up and parked in one of the stalls. Tried to check-in and it said "invalid number." I did it several times and same issue. It wouldn't let me check in. I had to get out of my car and tell them I had arrived. My order wasn't ready though, they were still working on it. I went back to my car and waited. They eventually brought it out. The ambiance was very busy. Most of the stalls were taken already when I pulled up. The mozzarella sticks weren't the best. They tasted like they had freezer burn or something. Not my favorite place for cheese sticks. I'll just say that. The shake was yummy though. Sonic is good for the shakes and ice cream.

My first time to go to this Sonic was actually for a Yelp Elite Event. It was fun to go and an…read moreinteresting experience. I'd always enjoyed Sonic at other locations, and this one is closer to home so I was hoping for a great time. It was fun because of the Elite event, but service wasn't up to par even that night and they even forgot I was waiting out there for them to bring me my order. But fast forward to a couple years later, I took my husband back because he had never been to a Sonic and wanted the experience. I love the sonic experience normally so back I went with him. Wow was the service ever slow!! And what makes it even more annoying is that the screens here (on both of my experiences) don't update after the food starts cooking. So you are in an unknown limbo. Because of my forgotten order at the Elite event, we checked in after quite a long wait.... nobody answered. Tried again a couple times, nobody answered. After a VERY long wait our food finally came out. No sauce, no napkins and missing an item. Ugh. I really really want to love you Sonic in Fullerton, but you are losing me man! Because I do like the food and LOVE the slushies, I will be back, but it seems too coincidental that both times I have been here my orders have been completely messed up (or forgotten) and took far too long for a "fast food" place. Food is still delicious and the location is nice and clean, close to the freeway and easy to get to. Hoping my next experience is like those I've been to before. Stay Chill Sonic!

Tried the carne asada, chorizo, and machaca and all three were solid. Real classic flavor, nothing fancy, just good food that hits every time. Definitely recommend it first thing in the morning too. Somehow tastes even better when you need a legit breakfast. Also gotta mention the green salsa... it has that perfect slow burn. Not crazy spicy at first, but it sneaks up on you in the best way. If you leave hungry, that's probably your own fault. For sure a recommend if ur in the Fullerton/Placentia hood!

We were there on Sunday, 5-20-12. We had stopped going there for 2 months because they cannot get our order right the first time. We again again today. I ordered something simple since the other breakfast orders were too complicated for them. I ordered a chorizo and egg burrito; nothing else on it. I also ordered a side order of has browns. I wanted the hash browns to be brown on both sides; top and bottom. My burrito came with the hash browns inside the burrito. The waitress caught it when she tried to get the plate of hash browns to bring to me and so did I when I took a bite. She came back later with the browns and another burrito; only one side was brown. She came back again and the same thing happened again one side brown. I told them I wanted my money back on the has browns and she gave it to me. What is wrong with this place?? I told my wife that we will never come back. It's too bad for them since we bring 2 adult sons with us most of the time. Good bye. read more

So here's my review as promised JERK!!! Let me start off by saying I use to go here like once every other month but NEVER AGAIN will I go to that place! I just went there to get a simple burger meal and waiting for a HALF HOUR just be told that my food had been sitting there for ((10 minutes)) without anyone telling me and that they would only redo my fries? Like hello my burger was cold too and your totally at fault! Then to top it off after they finally remake my food they get a bacon avocado burger with no tomato wrong! HOW THE HECK DO U GET THAT WRONG.. So I go back in to a RUDE ILLITERATE JERK telling me that I shouldn't be upset! WOW!!!! Get a life.. You have one job.. It's to make food and you cant even do that right!! read more

I had such an amazing experience at The Grill! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The service was friendly and fast, and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection full of flavor and made with care. You can tell they put a lot of effort into both the quality of the food and the overall experience. I'd definitely recommend The Grill to anyone looking for a great place to eat. I can't wait to come back! read more

MexicanBurgers offers a unique twist on classic burgers, blending flavors you won't find anywhere else. The taco-burger fusion is intriguing and pretty tasty, but the execution can be hit or miss. Sometimes the patties are juicy, while other times they can be a bit dry. The service is prompt, but the atmosphere is just average, making it more suited for takeout. Overall, it's decent! But I hope they can refine their consistency. read more

Must go! The food is delicious and plentiful! It looks expensive until you get your plate. You get a lot for your money and it's well prepared and fresh! The only downside is the driveway. There's a big dip off of state college, so go slowly when you enter and exit from there if you have a low ground clearance. read more
