Editorial Review for R.J. Grunts – by J.P. Anderson

In Short
The original Lettuce Entertain You restaurant, Grunts is also the least manufactured, with a cozy, neighborhood feel, high-backed wooden booths, mellow '70s music and an amiable local crowd. The menu offers reasonably priced burgers, chili and chicken sandwiches, plus thick malts and shakes served with the tin. The extensive, excellent salad bar--Grunts claims to have invented the concept--features two soups, three kinds of greens, a half-dozen fresh fruits, seven dressings and 37 toppings.

Grunt's soup of the day (aka "temperature soup") is priced according to the temperature outside the restaurant at 11:15am. So if it's 20 degrees outside, the soup costs just 20 cents.

We always look forward to dining here and feel especially appreciated as patrons. The food is fresh + tasty leaving us completely satisfied. There is plenty to sink your teeth into here and the ambience is inviting. Just plan ahead so you don't have to wait too long in line...but boy is it worth the wait.

Pros: Can We Franchise...

Cons: Good Luck Finding Them

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Been coming here since they opened. Never ever had a bad burger. Medium RARE means Medium Rare, cooked properly all times. The French Onion soup is the best. Bring back the crackers and specialty cheese, please.

Pros: Great food, staff and price.

Cons: No parking.
