    Steve's Steak Sandwich is absolutely delicious. The steak is juicy, and the chimichurri sauce is the cherry on top. I will definitely be having this for lunch more often. I recommend ordering ahead of time.

    Delicious food! I ordered the beef with chimichurri as a bowl. Very good and beef was tasty sauce has a spicy kick. Lunch special had a fried dumpling and small salad. Great place to grab a quick lunch. Service was prompt. Inside was clean with tables. Looking fwd to trying the other entrees

    With the name The Grillery, I really didn't expect to see Asian food bowls on the menu. We expected a sandwich or burger restaurant and was thrown off by the bottles of soy sauce on the tables. We ordered the beef bulgulgi and the chicken teriyaki bowls. Portion sizes were good with a lot of meat with grilled vegetables over rice and came with sauces, a small side salad, and two gyozas. Though I wish there was a dipping sauce for the gyozas because they were a bit bland. The young lady who was working that day was very sweet. She came by to refill the water cups often too.

    The Alpha Meal Salad

    Thank you so much for delicious alpha meal salad all the time !! The beef is very good amount and generous. This beef is better than Korean bbq, very tender and even the salad sauce is perfect! Thank you very much again and see you soon ! Elisha

    Everything is made fresh to order. Lots of love put into the food. I always go with their steak with chimichurri sauce. Hits the spot every time! Get the Steve's Sandwich, it comes with either fries or salad. Great portions with lots of well thought out seasonings that'll satisfy your palate for lunch. Dine in or takeout, you won't be disappointed!

    Alpha male salad add chicken

    This was one of the best salads I've ever had so I had to post this review. I ordered the Alpha Meal salad and I added chicken for more protein. I also got it spicy. The green aoli dressing is a perfect compliment to the chimmichurri steak marinade. It was kinda pricey around $25 (because of the added chicken), but so worth it. Thanks again Vu!

    Bulgogi and Chicken Bento
    Lotus S.

    4.5! Great little hidden lunch spot. Amazing steve steak sandwich. Paired great with the jalapeno aioli. We also got the combo bento. Bulgogi was delicious and flavorful but chicken was a drier than I would have liked. Ginger dressing for salad was bomb. Will be back again to try the alpha salad and other items on menu. Plenty of parking here!

    My work ordered us some food from The Grillery. I think this is the sister restaurant of Teriyaki Grill down in Chula Vista. Anyway, I ordered the Steve Steak Sandwich. That seems to be the go-to item to get. And now I know why. The Steve Steak Sandwich is delicious. The steak is cooked medium rare and the torta bread is toasted to perfection. I really like the chimichurri sauce. Its garlicky and fresh. I feel like if they added arugula or a spring mix, it would complete the sandwich. This is a great place and I'm looking forward to trying more items on the menu.

    I don't normally leave reviews and I don't normally eat steak sandwiches but this is one of the best I've ever had. Shaved thin it basically dissolves in your mouth. The bread was toasted perfectly and the chimichurri was perfect. Get this sandwich

    The Steve's Steak Sandwich This is a flavor-packed sandwich! The steak is super tender and the chimichurri has a good amount of garlic! Has a nice spicy kick to it that helps cut through the oils in the chimichurri, and all wrapped up in a nicely toasted torta! The seasoned fries also just makes it a great sidekick to the sandwich. My personal suggestion? Wish it was bigger because it's so bomb!! Definitely recommend this spot for a quick lunch!

    The food is so good but they're super inconsistent with portions. I come here at least 2 times a month and the portions vary widely. You can see that if you compare my photos to the photos posted by other users.

One of my favorite things about this place is how easy it is. You order on the kiosk, grab a seat, and your food usually comes out within like 10-15 minutes. The inside has a lot of seating and even games like Jenga which makes it feel like a fun spot to hang out for lunch. I didn't interact much with service since I used the kiosk, but the worker upfront was really friendly and even brought my takeout to my table. This time I tried the Dynamite Crawfish Bowl and the Dynamite Fries. The bowl comes with crawfish, rice, dynamite sauce, eel sauce, seaweed, sesame seeds, and pickled radish on top. The fries normally come with sweet potato fries but I swapped mine for regular fries because I just wasn't feeling sweet potato that day. The fries were honestly kind of underwhelming. It was basically fries with dynamite sauce and only a few pieces of garlic confit, which was the part I was most excited for. They weren't bad, just really underwhelming. I honestly think the sweet potato fries probably would've worked better with the flavors. The crawfish bowl though was really good. The crawfish had this slight smoky flavor to it like it was lightly torched and they give you a lot in each bite. The rice was fluffy and cooked perfectly and the pickled radish on top helped cut through all the richness from the sauces. Everything worked really well together flavor wise. My only complaint is that halfway through the bowl the flavors started blending together a little too much and it gets boring, but overall it was still super satisfying and filling. Definitely still one of my favorite quick lunch spots in Carmel Mountain and somewhere I'd bring friends because the menu has so many good options. Their dessert menu also sounds insane so I already know I'll be back.

It was a bit hard to eat as the whole thing fell apart quickly so we ended up picking at it like a salad. SISIG COMBO PLATE: I was able to get half half garlic fried rice and pancit for my carbs. Nice, crispy pork belly cut into the perfect bite sized pieces. Loved the mango serrano salsa! UBE CHEESECAKE: I wanted the minis but they were out at the time, so I ended up getting the full sized one. It's still not too big so perfect for 1-2 people. Good flavor and not overly sweet! Overall, great Filipino food although pricey for what it is; I got a bit of sticker shock when my total showed up. It's also a bit out of the way, but I'd definitely return to try other menu items if I'm ever passing though the area again. Definitely just a once in a while visit for me anyways because of the cost.

This place popped up at #1, and honestly that was enough for me. I didn't even read the reviews. When I pulled up, I almost drove right past it because it's tucked inside a liquor store. But hidden gems are usually called hidden for a reason. I walked in and asked what their most popular sandwich was. The guy recommended the California Club, which happens to be one of my go to sandwiches anywhere, so I told him to make that and add pickles because let's be honest, you gotta have pickles. Now I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, the guy making the sandwich took a sweet time. I mean almost a solid almost 10 minutes, and at one point I caught myself thinking, "This thing better be incredible." Well... it was incredible. Absolutely worth the wait. Fresh bread, stacked, flavorful, tactical, and one of those sandwiches where after the first bite you immediately stop caring how long it took. In fact, after the baseball game I went back a second time and grabbed a Cobb salad for my wife. Of course I had a few bites as a delivery tax. That thing was tremendous too.

The salad also took longer than expected, but honestly I'd much rather wait a few extra minutes for food that's made right instead of rushed garbage. Well done. Easy five stars.
