Great spot! Classic breakfast, made to order. Great seating options, good for groups. Classic meals for brunch and lunch!!
This place consistently has the best food! The Machaca Burrito or Spuds are the go-to breakfast orders for our office. How do they make the Spuds so crispy and creamy at the same time?? Truly magical breakfast food.. add crispy bacon to these and it's perfection. Food is quick, delicious, and hot every single time (and we order here often!). Online ordering is a snap and the staff is always friendly, too. Highly recommend.
Stopped here for lunch...everything was delicious. Service was quick and friendly. Definitely a great place to stop by when driving through town or if you live here. My only reason for a 4 star is that they close so early.
I moved to san clemente about 3 years ago . I was recommended this establishment by a woman at the DMV who is related to the owner in some way. I have forgot since then (it was like an aunt or a sister or something) but she was like your on cabrillo you GOTTA check out "theGrill" very excited and adamantly trying to recommend it to me. I was like okay ill check it out. I enjoy sunday BLT's or really any day BLT but preferably sundays. I have come here for my BLT's almost every sunday since it being recommended to me. by that wonderful woman at the DMV! The experience is very nice! I enjoy sitting out on the back patio under the umbrellas on the wood tables enjoying the san clemente air and san clemente sun. also the sounds of the clock tower chiming . being on el camino you get to watch the cars go by. its in a very amazing location to really feel san clemente! It is without a doubt one of my favorite establishments I have found in SC so far. now I have literally only eaten one thing off their menu which is the BLTA which has nice crispy bacon (real bacon!) lovely crispy sourdough bread, fresh lettuce ,tomato and avo. with a lovely mayo/aioli situation going on . really reminds me of the BLT's my mom used to make for me as a kid! they have their own personal parking lot specific to the establishment. which can sometimes be a little tricky to navigate. but that would be the ONLY thing that could be improved on here. ONLY the staff have always been very nice and welcoming , the wait to order and the wait for the food is never to long . the tables are most of the time always cleaned and ready to enjoy my BLT on ! sometimes i actually sit on my tailgate in the parking lot looking over the low white wall and look at the water. they have killer view from the parking lot! the BLTA is always as amazing as the first time i ate it! It seems as though they are some sort of family owned and operated in some way from my observations... i mean how can you be that nice and welcoming and consistent as a major chain! YA really great spot ! if your going to the pier or down del mar on a weekend or after the farmers market on Sunday you should check this place out ! it is all the rage! I have only had great experiences so far! you will too! :)
This was such a pleasant surprise, much better than we had thought! Service was wonderful, and their homemade salsa delicious. Prices are fair and the service was extremely fast. I'm so sad to see they're not around anymore, we had really enjoyed the food here.
