RJ Grunts

I have been patron of RJ grunts for over 30 years and unfortunately it has turned into nothing but an outrageously expensive burger joint.  Seems they have found their niche to be zoo visitors as the place is pretty quiet after 8:00 p.m.  Also tells me that the locals know what a racquet they have going -- $15 for a salad bar that is 3 foot by 6 foot?  Come on!  It was just ok, nothing all that special, and as fresh as you would expect any salad bar to be.  Service just ok, food is ok, burgers are the best choice.  There are many better restaurant  choices - save your money.

It was a good experience, but didn't knock my socks off.  Food was good, but not awesome.  Service was decent, but not awesome.  Might be back if I'm in the area, but not a place that I'll go out of my way to go to again.

Love this place. I have been going to this joint since i was a kid and have some of my fondest restaurant-going memories there. All their food is pretty darn good and the atmosphere is super relaxed accompanied by some really good music. They are popular for their burgers and salad bar. Their burgers are super hearty and they don't slack on the homemade potato chips on the side (fries are extra) but you can get a good burger in a bunch of places in the city. The salad bar on the other hand does not parallel with many others. They have tons of fresh ingredients and antipastos as well as 2 soups and this one dangerously delicious sweet cream chocolate ship dip. For desert, you have to give their cookie/ brownie a shot. It is one of the most decadent yet satisfying deserts i have had. Their bar is great and carries Three Floydds which should be enough said. As for the service... 5 stars (out of one). That's right. I know its a serious statement but I have not had a single rotten experience there in the 18 years I have been eating here. In case i didn't drive this point home: Go to RJ Grunts for dinner tonight.. you know.. if you can beat the rush.
