"We ordered two pick two deals. The photo is of the beef enchilada and cheese enchilada with rice and beans. The enchilada was a flavorless disappointment with barely any filling inside of the tortilla. The food tastes like something you would get from the school cafeteria. The service is average as no one brought me my to go order I had to go back to the counter to check on it even though I was seated inside of the restaurant. The atmosphere is casual and okay for something quick. I definitely would not recommend the food. I could only eat the rice the rest was not good. After I had left the review I went to bed but I was awakened about two hours later with excessive stomach pains. I was awake most of the night sick. This was the only food that I had eaten that could have caused it. I’m still feeling sick."

The food was excellent, although the service could use a bit of improvement—it wasn't too far off, though.

The food at Grub Burger Bar is great and fresh. They offer delicious options like hash browns, ice cream, and sausage.

Party of 2 Arrived at prime lunch time.The simple fact that we stood for 5 minutes before a hostess came out should have cued us in. There were 4 tables occupied.Great location. Horrible Management questionable future? Sad.

Food smelled bad. Sour and funky smell coming from the steak bowl and bowl of soup. The peach tea taste like straight up corn syrup. Chips were really good but salsa just ok. Seats padding is worn out. Left very disappointed.

Visited this place after not coming for a while due to the lack of service we received last few times we came. Tonight and had Ashley as our server. She was awesome, this was the best service we had here. She kept us laughing and we enjoyed our night out! View menu

Brought my date here. she ended up dumping me for my brother. Food was great, ordered the grilled chicken and it was tender and juicy! Server Sarah was so sweet and was very attentive. She offered to many options like dessert, and she was the best. This place is a must must must.

This on the border makes me feel like im on the border. Lights are made out of dusty mattress springs, the decor are ised bike seats and handlebars made to look like skulls. Service was very shotty. It seems like the area has spoken to rhis location as it’s essentially empty on a saturday.

"Our family has been ordering home delivery from this 54th Street location for over a year now and we have never had an issue with delivered food. My kids love the street kid burgers and waffle fries. Other household favorites include the burgers, steaks, gyro, and gringo dip.We've eaten at location twice. The location is about what you would expect from current day sports leaning bars. Lots of TVs, especially around the bar, an eclectic mix of memorabilia on the walls, and Americana leaning music, mostly country and classic Rock with the random top 40 from fifteen years ago mixed in.The first time the service was good. There was a slight mix up when our steak came out and I received another customer's well done steak, and he received my medium steak. The server noticed the mix up immediately and took both steaks back immediately. We were a few tables apart under the same server in the same section. Mistakes happen, the steak was re made, and it turned out tasty. Slight inconvenience but overall the food was good, service was excellent, and there was nothing to complain about. The manager came by and apologized all over himself, but we assured him everything was okay, that it was just a mistake, etc. We were not unhappy at all and the manager was very apologetic.Our must recent trip we were seated under a very attentive server. She took our order promptly, made sure we always had drinks more than half full on the table, and was very quick to remedy any minor issues. Unfortunately the quality of the steak on this trip was just not good. I'm not sure if the restaurant has made any alterations to the recipes being used to prep meat in the kitchen, but there was an overwhelming, unpleasant smoke flavor to the steak. I hesitated to send the steak back, but the server insisted another steak be cooked. I do not like to send food back, I apologized for inconveniencing her and the kitchen, but the smoke flavor was so overwhelming the steak was really inedible. When the steak was replaced it was cooked closer to order temperature and the flavor was a little less smokey, but still undesirably strong. It was good enough to eat most of and we took the leftovers home. After warming the remainder to eat at home it was quite rare on the end that was left uneaten in the restaurant. The steak was ordered medium and after reheating at home there were dark red areas in the middle of the steak. The overall texture was also not great, nearly like it was steamed and the sear was non existent. The server was, again, awesome. She apologized, informed the manager, discussed a course of action with the kitchen, and did her best to make it right. But at the end of the day the steak was just disappointing. I had hoped the manager would stop by so I could ask what changed regarding the steak preparation, but at no point did he stop by our table. Gringo dip was still great, my husband enjoyed his gyro, but the steak was a giant disappointment.Overall, despite the great service, the food being sub par at a restaurant (and in this economy) makes me think we should try another local steak and burger joint. : sad to say because we had really grown to like this place."
