We ate at Grind burger and built a chicken breast sandwich on ciabatta roll and added peppers and onions with honeymustard dressing and our second choice of dressing was barbeque sauce. We had some wedge fries on the side as well. Our service was absolutely fabulous, the staff was extremely, and they took good care of us. We have to tell you that we will be going back again. We’ll let you know what happens when we try their burgers.

“[...] there is only one way to find out, and thats trying it. what ELV says here has NEVER swayed me from not trying a place, I like to think that I am able to formulate my own opinion”

Definitely agreed. While I respect Mr. ELV’s extensive experience with the Las Vegas food scene, I’ll try a place if I’m curious enough no matter what he or you or any of the other folks here say. I like forming my own opinion, just like you do… And that’s just fine.

What really irks me is when a restaurant’s employees and best customers all come here to try to shut down something even as mild as some constructive criticism. They may think there’s nothing wrong with the restaurant, but we think otherwise and it’s our right to air our opinions and suggest what needs to be done to fix the problem(s).

If John Curtas can handle criticism of his own reviews here, then these restaurants need to learn to grow thicker skin and address legitimate concerns that we bring up here.

sure, if they want to waste their money on shitty food!!!

if you take 100% of what a critic says for fact, then you are an idiot, but when there are always true points within a criticism. but when several people say it sux, then it probably sux, but there is only one way to find out, and thats trying it. what ELV says here has NEVER swayed me from not trying a place, I like to think that I am able to formulate my own opinion

Has a clue,
So what you saying is that Jon’s opinion and his friend Max’s opinion don’t really mean anything, so people should probably go check it out for themselves and make up their own minds.

Elizabeth-

Sounds right to me also. I just popped on their Facebook page and noticed someone complaining about them deleting negative comments. Hmmm, are they “pulling an Andre/Paymon” on us?

I’m fairly certain that Grind Burger and/or Preferred Public Relations (their PR company) have employees who search the net to comment on stuff like this. They are constantly posting whatever positive reviews (no matter where they are from) on their Facebook page.

i actually have a few and i have had my share of bad and good reviews!! but at heart i am more a diner then operator!
i know what attention to every detail is, and obviously you dont!! id advise you to get a new person to run your kitchen and make the food taste good, cuz after the ballon of the near naked lady is pulled down from your front door (by the county), and the confusing menu, there is all that really matter, THE FOOD. if food is great, patrons forget about all the other stuff.

certifiable jack ass…….is that your cartch phrase????

has a clue,
What restaurant do you own or operate? Its pretty easy to pick apart everyone else when you do’t have the balls to put your own money into opening your own restaurant. You too seem to be a certifiable jack ass!
