We used to go to Top Grill often years ago because the food was always fresh, healthy, delicious, and generously portioned. I especially love the grilled salmon, and my go-to is usually the steak and chicken bowl with vegetables and either white or brown rice. My husband loves their chicken bowl as well. Everything we've tried has always tasted fresh and high quality at a very fair price. Recently though, after the ownership change, I became disappointed because instead of the delicious teriyaki sauce in the little takeout containers, we were only given salty soy sauce packets and chili sauce packets. It completely changed the experience for me, and honestly made me not want to come back. I finally decided to call and speak with Bob. I explained how much we missed the original teriyaki sauce and how the portions had started feeling skimpy compared to the past. Bob was wonderful. He listened, cared, and simply said, "I got you. I'll take care of you." And wow....he absolutely did. The steak and teriyaki chicken bowl I received was one of the best I've ever had from Top Grill. The portions were generous again, the food was fresh and flavorful, and that delicious teriyaki sauce was back! My husband loved his chicken bowl too. Customer service really matters, and Bob completely changed our experience. Because of him, we will definitely be coming back. Thank you, Bob, for caring about your customers. Ask for Bob, he's the best! I called Bob after dinner tonight to let him know how much we appreciated him, and that now we will return. read more

I called and ordered chicken bowl with no rice and extra veggies. The person was nice and asked questions to make sure he had my order correct. When I got there asked if I wanted extra sauce. The restaurant was small with few tables and clean. It's close to my house and easy for me to grab on my way home. The chicken was tender and flavorful and the vegetables were cooked perfectly, just the right amount of crunch. Delicious! Thank you Sorry I didn't get to snap a picture of my food, I was starving hahaha read more

Im not sure why they have so many good reviews. The teriyaki chicken had weird taste to it and was dry! The place looks unsanitary and the service is lacking social skills. read more

I came here since I was in the area nearby and wanted to try a new place. I got their chicken and beef platter which comes with a side salad and an orange. The meat was juicy and they gave enough sauce for the amount. The staff is nice and the place is clean. read more

Dined in and service was great. Love the little chilies they have next to a chili sauce and sriracha. Food came out quick and tasted great. They give extra teriyaki sauce in small containers and it's reallllly good. The Salad in our plate wasn't great but we got it replaced with steamed veggies and I loveeee the cabbage Chicken is tender and so is the meat, there was no avocado this last time but usually I add some Fire grilled so no oils is a great option, this is like a top notch wabba grill So yummy! Been coming here since 2016 especially after the gym. Fireee read more

I use to come here somewhat frequently. It's a family run place and I was always satisfied with the food I got here . The last 2 times I have had to throw my bowl away after becoming a bit grossed out after getting a lot of fat/ grissel on the chicken. I let them know prior to ordering the last bowl and was met again with the same experience. The kids are nice in there but unless there is a change I won't be coming back. I'm giving it 3 stars because I appreciate small businesses- otherwise less stars. I will come back and edit this review if there is a change- otherwise I threw away about $30 on my last 2 trips. read more

It was 8:30 at night in Murrieta, coming home from football practice, and we decided to stop at TOP GRILL. Same order, same top quality--just like always. You can tell we've been here 30+ times, and they never miss! After eating, we walked down to Delight for some ice cream, and by the time we got back, everything was already done. Fast, fresh, and consistent every single visit. The menu is simple, healthy, and easy to read! Quick and fast service and an easy to navigate menu for the win altogether another five-star performance! read more

Excellent food and service. The menu options are clear and the ingredients very fresh. Polite workers and plenty of variety of sodas in the cooler. read more

Top Grill is located in a small plaza in a residential area off Margarita Rd and Date St. Their menu is very simple and consists of chicken, beef, salmon, and short ribs that could he made into a plate or bowl combo, kinda like Waba or Flame Broiler. I always get the short ribs or sometimes a beef plate. Proteins are always marinated well and grilled to order. I highly recommend Sriracha w every bite, as it gives it a slight hint of heat and balances the teriyaki flavor w its tart and spice. read more

Decent. They use fresh ingredients, cooked in non rancid oils, and I can appreciate that. My only two complaints are, for one they don't give you enough sauce to spread around that dry a** meat, and for two they have some of the most watered down boba teas. Two stars deducted for that meat and drink. Sorry but facts. read more

My wife and I stopped by the top grill for lunch. The food was pretty good, except my wife asked for brown rice and got white. While we were waiting for our food, we noticed that they had one TV and they were showing the movie the Hangover. They had the volume extremely high on the television and everybody in the restaurant could definitely hear it. There was a family sitting in the restaurant with kids two under 10 years. The movie was inappropriate and loaded foul language and unsavory scenes. None of the stuff was appropriate for my wife or myself or especially for those kids. For that reason, my wife and I will not be coming back to top grill. While I was there, I went to purchase an iced tea that was marked $.99 and they tried to charge me two dollars for it. I told the dude at the register it was illegal to upsell commodities that are already priced. Needless to say the 20 year-old man who was making probably $17 an hour, didn't give a crap. Yes, charging more than the marked price of $0.99 for a $2.00 item is illegal in California under deceptive pricing laws, not price gouging, which applies during a declared emergency. Violating the deceptive pricing law is a criminal offense that can lead to fines and imprisonment. Deceptive pricing vs. price gouging Deceptive pricing: This applies when a business charges a price higher than what is advertised, marked, or displayed. GET A CLUE TOP GRILL!!! read more

I wanted to love this place. But upon entering l noticed a smell that l never could get over. I have no idea what it was. But it was off-putting. Our meals were fine, but nothing we would come back for. The interior is very casual, order at the counter and then sit and wait for it to be made. Staff was kind and helpful. I may come back but it would be awhile and hoping that this was a one-off as our first try of it. read more

The high review you see is from the previous ownership. Something happened. The portions are are all out of wack 75% rice 15% veggies 10% protein. I remember back in the day these things were stacked! Half an avocado for $2! Steak quality low How the mighty have fallen. read more

Restaurant is a little dated, in need of a refresh. Service was good. Chicken was dry and tasted like Salmon. My guess they warmed the chicken in the same spot they warm the salmon. read more

Almost a mirror product of what you expect from flame broiler. The exception is that it is mom and pop owned but comparatively better. The beef was a step better and had good size cuts, but overall the side salad, vegetables and orange slices were the samr. Definitely a nice go to spot for locals. They also serve boba drinks that I didn't try this time. read more

Really delicious. Saw the reviews and realized it was just around the corner at a shopping center I never went into. Got the steak bowl with brown rice which was good brown rice as it wasn't dry and hard as it sometimes can be. The steak was tender with a very good teriyaki sauce Service was very quick and efficient though I wouldn't say overly friendly but they were super efficient so that's ok with me. Good value too ! I'll be back read more

Thank you again ! read more

I stumbled upon this place as I had arrived too early to an appointment nearby. I ordered one of their customizable bowls and found they have brown rice! Many of the chain places stopped offering brown rice so I was happy to see Top Grill had that. The portions are generous and everything tasted delicious! I was glad I found this place for future reference, too. The person working there (maybe the owner) asked me how everything was which was nice. I will be back! read more

We ordered chicken and steak with brown rice plate and steak plate with brown rice. They gave us white rice. We told them twice and still didn't care. Never coming again. This was the first and last time. Look like teenagers working here but can't get it right the first or second time. read more

I ordered 3 bowls tonight; 1 chicken and 2 steak bowls. As soon as I took one bite, it was absolutely delicious - the veggies were steamed to perfection and the chicken had just the right mount of sauce and cooked perfectly! SO delicious - 10 out of 10! read more

Honestly loved my whole experience. The place was empty when I went there, very nice employees quick to help. Yes, as mentioned in another review there is an odd smell but honestly didn't bother me. I ordered to go the steak and veggie bowl with brown rice and Thai tea boba. With tip paid about $20. The steak veggie bowl looks just like the pictures posted, I didn't take a picture but it was so good! Very similar to Flame Broiler. Will definitely go again. read more

3/28/25: I ordered a salmon plate for takeout yesterday and noticed that the portion size had been reduced, even though the price had increased. Today, I realized on the receipt that they also charged a 3.5% card fee for paying by debit card and the tip I paid was calculated based on the total amount, including sales tax and the card fee. This wasn't right! . read more

Been to this spot a few times so far, they have very clean & healthy food, I like to build my own plate, I went with steak, shrimp and white meat chicken, the chicken is very well marinated, the flavor is there in each bite, the steak is juicy and has no any hard or chewy pieces, the shrimp marination as a as well. The rice is good too, made fresh, paired with their steamed vegetables, make a full meal. They also added bobba too, the mango is great!

We've had Top Grill several times now and each time, we've really enjoyed it. The food is always served hot, fresh off the grill. Vegetables are never overcooked and the sauce is delicious. Service is also consistently great! It's usually just one young man, but last night, it was him and another older cook, and they are both so wonderful and sweet. read more

Food is delicious, service is fast everything is fresh I will be coming back. Guys working are friendly as well that's always good to see. Restaurant it's self is pretty big I thought it was going to be smaller but accommodate's big party's as well and sells party trays but I recommend this place cheap and filling in a clean eating area read more

I made the choice to try this teriyaki restaurant. Let's start by stating that it is nice but not exceptional. That is exactly what we want at times. delicious teriyaki every time. The service was rather swift considering it was a Saturday. Our wait for the to go order was between 10 and 15 minutes. I tried teriyaki chicken plate, which was $8.99 or $9.59 for all-white meat. The food was delicious and the chicken was cooked to perfection. It was perfect. The teriyaki flavor is comparable to that of other restaurants with a similar menu that I usually go to. The serving sizes are ideal. For an additional fee, you can also add more meat if you'd like. It's really close to Metroflex gym, making it simple for me to grab some chicken and rice whenever I'm hungry. 3/5 stars If you're hungry and want something better for you to consume than other manufactured foods, this is a terrific option. read more

I used to come here and the food was great. Now it's 75% rice, meat quality poor, and flavourless avocados. Restroom is run down and mess.

first time at this restaurant, to try their teriyaki bowl. It was fantastic. So fresh, chicken and veggies were cooked to perfection. All layered up, so every bite was a tasty experience. read more

Stopped by Top Grill off Margarita and loved the customizable rice bowls, fresh veggies and perfectly grilled salmon made my meal a winner. The boba drinks are reallly good, and the casual vibe was spot-on. Service was quick and on point, and the price was right (under $15). Very nice staff and owner. Definitely recommend trying this place out! read more

We were craving grilled food and thought about Top Grill located in Murrieta. We went to visit on a Sunday and there was plenty of parking space available. The cleanliness inside the bistro was apparent and the lady behind the cashier was calm and very welcoming. Prior to visiting Top Grill, we took a look at the menu on the web and found the bowls very appealing. The bowls were also packed with food. Of course, we knew the concept of the images of food in the pictures do not always represent in real life. So as always, we were not as hopeful. We ordered the following: 1. Chicken Bowl 2. Salmon Bowl 3. Steak Bowl 4. Shrimp Bowl When we received the orders, I noticed immediately how heavy the bag was containing four teriyaki bowls. Once we were ready to eat and opened the lids, we were surprised by how much food was inside each bowl. The food in real life rose on the occasion and actually had more than what was shown on the menu. The meats were tender and tasty and there was plenty of white and brown rice to indulge to savor each bite. The price was affordable with so much food to offer. We will certainly visit this place again anytime soon. --- Break --- Customer Service: 4.5 Cleanliness: 4 Cuisine: 5 Overall Rating: 13.5/3 = 4.5 or 5 stars read more

We bought boba milk tea and the boba Perla was hard as a rock and the texture was weird and the tea tasted bitterness.

The food was really delicious and flavorful. We got the chicken and veggie bowls and they were quite filling. The service was quick and staff friendly. Really enjoyed the simple ordering and was floored by how flavorful it all was. read more

Top Grill is no-frills, straight forward bowls and plates that have options for folks that are trying to eat relatively healthier. My go-to is the salmon bowl with rice and vegetables--the bowl is pretty rice heavy, but the salmon is grilled well and I like the simple steamed vegetables. I order takeout and it's usually only a 15-20 minute wait. Facilities are clean & the folks that work here are friendly. Also they're the only takeout place that I've seen at the area that carries the Poppi prebiotic soda that I like so I appreciate that read more

Delicious food with REALLY good portions. Come here for an affordable filling clean eat!
