Grindhouse Killer Burgers

We stopped by for Saturday lunch. The food came out relatively quick. We tried their iconic dirty south fries, grind house style burger. The portion is big. The food is fresh and flavorful. We opted for counter service, they also offer full service upstairs with large screen TVs for game days. Staff were friendly. Plenty of parking around the building.

Waiter on the balcony was off the charts awesome. Burger was delicious and made perfectly. And the milkshakes? Well, you'll just have to take a sip and find out 😍. (Bathroom was super cool, had to snap a pic 😂)

I went to take my mom with me to lunch who is hurt and elderly and was rushed down at the counter downstairs by a girl that later started to record me in the moment she was rushing us and we felt we couldn’t even look at the menu. I spoke with the manager because she rushed us she said that she was going to handle it. I guess there was a guy (who refused to give me his name) with long blonde/brown hair that scoffed at me the entire time I was there. We ended up eating upstairs and had great service from a young lady named Cassidy. Finally while walking out of the restaurant the long haired short man scoffed again at me this time I asked if he had Something to say because I was sick of being hounded wvery time I walked to the bathroom or when he walked by the upstairs bar. He turns around with food in his hand and start yelling at me and my mom who is just upset that this man was yelling at me, he then points his hand in my mom & my face and was being so rude he wouldn’t tell me who he was nor would the general manager. Whoever is running this location needs a new team. I’ve worked in the restaurant industry for over 15 years and what I experienced was so disrespectful and my mom almost fell down from him charging towards her. She was so scared she called 911 they started recording me and felt like I was going to get jumped by the whole staff downstairs. I do not recommend this location. Piedmont location is amazing though!

My husband and I had a great visit tonight. We shared a fried pickle appetizer, and I had the Yankee style burger with their crinkle cut fries (pictured). Service was quick and easy, the atmosphere was cozy and relaxed, and I enjoyed my burger. A great place with kid friendly options, and a 21+ upstairs bar area. It’s in a great location with onsite parking. I recommend you give it a try!

Great service, delicious food, amazing atmosphere at the rooftop bar! Environment was so clean for a place that has been open for 7 years, looks brand new as if they opened yesterday. I was so comfortable here, could have stayed all night. I did stay for a couple hours to try as much of the menu as I could, but all the food came out so fast! Fried pickles were hot and crispy! Beef & chorizo chili was delicious and exactly how I expect chili to be served, WITHOUT beans! My first time having sauerkraut and the New York dog did not disappoint! The Grind house style beef burger was cooked to a perfect medium! So good! Beers were cold, cocktails were great, milkshake was smooth! Tyler was kicking ass, even with a full bar, he was still taking care of everyone with ease! Cannot wait to come back to this place for the most reasonably priced meal I've had at a restaurant in a long time! Absolutely phenomenal experience!

Outstanding burgers full stop. I will start with the only negative comment I can say about this place, the parking. If you come on the weekday in the afternoon, you should have no trouble, any other time of the weekend or evening it is not fun at all. Typical Decatur. The good and great: the burgers are absolutely out of this world. The buns are super soft and mildly sweet and all of the ingredients are real fresh and not factory made ( referring to the bacon). If you get the sautéed onions on the burger. It makes them taste like a dream. I really don’t understand how these burgers are so delicious. The specialty burgers are an added treat and I cannot wait to go back. The french fries are thicker crinkle cut and look like nothing special. However, there must be something in the seasoning because they were devoured by me and my family. There is something on them that is absolutely delicious and they are super crispy on the outside. Best crinkle cut I’ve ever had. Seating inside the restaurant on the main floor is ample and cool and they have unlimited refills at fountain drinks, which is nice. We did not go upstairs to the bar since we had children with us, but I’ve heard good things. There was a decent amount of outdoor seating as well, but it was too hot to use it in July.

Great spot. It's really cool to have the option to hang out downstairs as a more casual family spot where u just order at the counter and if you're 21 or older, you can hang out upstairs for a full service bar. The service was great. They constantly checked on us, and since we ordered a pitcher of beer, they were ready to serve us more as we finished our pitcher off. I never felt neglected. The food was actually great, but it wasn't the best burger I've had, but it was solid. For the price, it's pretty hard to beat, but it's beatable. However, I would still be happy with them compared to most places. I love you can stay fairly simple or even get a lil creative with their signature burger options for those unsure of what toppings they want. If you're looking for a chill spot for great bar food and some beers this place is prefect especially with the rooftop seating. Love that I finally got to experience first hand what I've heard was such a great place

Not usually a fan of chains. For a small chain the Atlanta metro area. This place doesn’t disappoint. They have a cool atmosphere and tasty food. This location has a full service bar separate from the general area. The bar area has plenty of TV’s to watch games. The burger was cooked to requested temperature. Fries crispy and great with cheese sauce. Tried the Grindhouse beer, good combo burger, fries and beer! Parking gets a bit tight, Sundays have extra parking because of the closed chic fillet.

Price: $-$$ (About $10-15 pp) Food: * * * * Service: * * * * Ambiance: * * * * Grindhouse burgers is always a solid choice when you're looking for a fun and tasty place to visit. The location in Decatur, with two stories and plenty of parking, make it a frequent stop for me. From their original grindhouse burger to their house made chilli, everything I've tried here is pretty savory. My go-to is the Euro burger, with mushrooms and Swiss cheese... yum! They are also known for their impossible burger. Honestly, I've never had it myself.. but will make a point to get it next time I'm here. Great lunch place if you're in the area.

It's a good burger as advertised but with that said is it a great burger, No. Tried 4 different burgers and a hotdog the cowboy burger was the best of the 4 Grindhouse Apache And hillbilly were all just boring and low flavor. Some of the toppings on these recipes should be tossed out and start over Hotdog was a solid glizzy Lastly lettuce doesn't go on the bottom bun it kills the flavor of the meat which is why I think the 3 I listed scored so low Cool vibes and atmosphere Service was average

The burgers here are really good. I got the single patty because didn't want to over do it. The fries were just fries nothing special. My sister got the fried pickles. The batter came off when trying to eat. Not sure why but we didn't really like them. My cousin had the Carolina coleslaw and that was very tasty. It's vinegar based. I recommend giving them a try.

Always love Grenell but super Duper miss the buy one get one free trivia nights and the original veggie burgers. You can't really go wrong here and ordering pick up is always a win as well!

Very good burgers and service! We came after a basketball game and they took great care of us! The roof top is very welcoming and they have a ping pong table to enjoy.

Grindhouse Killer Burger is truly outstanding. Despite ordering my meal to go, I was impressed by the freshness of the food and the meticulous packing. I opted for a bacon burger, and a side of fries and chili. My meal was flavorful and deeeelicious! For those who prefer dinning in, you'll find ample space both upstairs and downstairs to comfortably accommodate small and large groups.

Without our kid, We opted to upstairs which is more of a sit down service and there is a bar to order drinks. Downstairs is more order at the register And pick a table for food to come to you. Staff was very friendly . The upstairs was nice and covered for the most part . We ordered the grindhause burger and cowboy burger and a side of rings. Must get the cowboy burger (super flavorful with that bacon) and the rings(cooked perfectly - crispy and firm and not too much coating).

Went fo the upstairs bar dinner area everyone talks bout; v comfortable, spacey, and clean. Sits nicely on pleasant Decatur space off McDonough. Dug their alt. burger options :) Upstairs staff, hostess, were tooo kind, friendly, and helpful. Their onions rings hit it, as well as their own esoteric homemade veggie burger option ;) (yes they gots Impossible option as well) Add the extra green chilis option fo sure. Sautéed mushrooms or fried green tomato another Excellent add-on. Bo was kind bartender/upstairs overseer.

This is by far my favorite place for a burger.The service is awesome and the atmosphere is amazing. There's a handful of Grindhouse killer burgers around Atlanta and I venture to / recommend all of them. Sit on the rooftop in Decatur or outside on the patio on Memorial Dr. I love it when old school Martial Arts movies are playing on the screens or any other Grindhouse movie like a cheesy B rated horror movie is playing it's the icing on the cake.

I stopped here to finish my day of remote work and to grab a quick bite to eat. On a nice day, the top adults-only deck is a nice option to work or meet up with friends. I didn't want to eat anything too heavy so, I ordered a side of brussels sprouts and cheese fries. The sprouts were pretty good but, the fries stated like they were missing something even with cheese sauce and ketchup. Thats just a personal preference of mine though; takes nothing from the restaurant.

Reverse review. This place might not be the worst bar/restaurant in Atlanta. But it's probably in the top 5. I live about 1 minute walk from this place. About 6 months ago a tried a few times to grab a beer and some food. I found the staff 'weird'. Not bad but definitely not good. For 6 months I've walked past to go into the square for the many other options totally forgetting this place existed. Tonight my memory let me down and I tried again. Holy shit. Why! It got worse, way worse. I blame myself. I knew it would be terrible. The only reason I'm writing this is to remind me to never go there again.

This place always slaps & the service is always killer! Good prices, outta this world food, great location, fun local stickers and delicious food! You can't go wrong eating here!

Fries, burger, boozy shakes all amazing! Fried green tomatoes and slaw, delicious! Can't wait to go again!!!

This impossible burger taste so real it's really impossible I enjoyed it so much I accidentally ordered it while trying to just order the vegan burger gringo style but I'm glad I did

In just the past few months, my husband and I have ordered from here a couple of more times than I'd like to admit... lol. While not grass-fed (as far as we know), we think the burgers here are more flavorful than another burger place nearby. In our opinion, you really can't go wrong here. The food is consistently good, and we like that there are a variety of options on the menu. We've tried a few different combinations of burger toppings each time, which has been great. We really enjoy the turkey burger and crinkle fries with cheese sauce. I've ordered with no bun a couple of times and it doesn't disappoint. The Brussels sprouts and the fried pickles are also yummy. Customer service has been pleasant each time, too. All in all, you know what you're going to get when you come here, and that's why we keep coming back.

We went today around 4pm and sat downstairs in one of the booth seats. When we came inside we were greeted and told that upstairs was for 21 am over. Since my son is 13 obviously we had to sit downstairs or outside. We ended up ordering at the bar at the entrance and given a number tent that you sit on top of the table. My son ordered the pick your own burger combo and I got the dirty south fries. Let's just say the serving size was big! And the food was yummy. We're definitely going back.

Decatur is not a part of town I get to often, but once I learned about this Grindhouse location and saw some pics, I knew I had to check it out. They are located next to the Chick-fil-A and they have a small parking lot that surrounds the building. I like the two-story layout of the restaurant, with the open air rooftop area which is good for dining in on summer or early fall days. Sat upstairs and ordered a build-your-own Impossible burger with all the fixings that I like and a side of fries. The food was tasty and matched the quality that I am used to from other Grindhouse locations. Minus 1 star because the service could have been better. The staff seemed more concerned with chatting amongst themselves or with their friends rather than checking on us to see how we were doing or if we needed anything. However, I would still return based on all the other positives during my current visit.

Some guy bartending, black guy w/ glasses. I ordered a beer, beer was good, cold, no complaints at all. I get half way through it, and i notice a hair inside. I notify the guy, no apology no nothing. He literally laughed and start shaking his head. Little does he know, i was gonna just tell em to refill it. To the same spot it was at. Before he caught an attitude, and then the person i was with tried to have a conversation about it. He immediately dead's the conversation and walks off in the most rude way possible. Nobody was rude to him or anything!! Customer service by this guy was just terrible, and I'm almost positive this isn't the first time. This guy needs some serious training.

We went picked up food to be eaten at the zoo. We ordered the Brussel sprouts because we have never seen it offered at a burger joint. We all enjoyed it and the sweet chili sauce isn't too spicy for my 4 year old niece. She actually liked it. My 3 year old loves the fries. And we thought the sweet potato fries were great, it was thin and crunchy. Kid's meal actually came with a kid's size burger. The burger was quite good though would not say it was the best we've had. The chili though was really special. My wife loved it so much that we planned on getting it again at the airport (unfortunately we got there after 6 and they closed on us). The service was great and the restaurant was super clean.

A great place that has a neighborhood bar feel but with dive bar vibes. The burgers honor southern and how different the states are. The service is always homely, knowledgeable and give you a great witty joke while you enjoy a good priced drink. The house beer is a steal. I recommend sitting at the rooftop bar.

We recently moved back to Atlanta from NYC- which has meant meeting up with old & new friends/ family. This has quickly become our go-to restaurant for meet-ups as the menu is a guaranteed crowd- pleaser. Despite being near the Decatur Square, there is parking, no small consideration. But the food is crazy good. We crave it on the regular. The fries, which are the perfect crispy texture. The burger choices for garnishes & add-ones are inspired- and really deliver. The chili - oh. My. god. ( I normally don't eat meat and I have the hillbilly burger so I can have a bit of the chili on my *first rate* veggie burger.) The appetizers - I could make a meal of the appetizers alone. Fried green tomatoes. Brussel sprouts. Excellent bar & beer choices. I can say with total confidence there is not a bad item on the menu. And shakes. My husband is a shake connoisseur, and he is happy every time. (They also have boozy shakes.) Service is friendly and professional. It has a fabulous vibe, and I know it will continue to be a staple. And what a great spot to watch any game~ or totally ignore it. Your choice. Nice large bar with plenty of seating if you want to come alone, too. Genius.

Order: Grind house burger with add ons + chili fries + fried pickles + strawberry milkshake Kid-friendliness: yep! It checks all the boxes. They have two floors, first floor that you enter to is family friendly (that's where we sat) and upstairs is for 21+. This set up makes it great to bring kids since they are kept separate from the adult crowd. There a separate kid menu. There are TVs playing cartoons everywhere so that is a huge bonus. Vibe: Casual and chic. Order at the counter, get a table and they will bring your food to you. Modern chic vibe with retro decor. Large windows for great lighting. Larger tables available. Low music, if any at all so helps with conversations. Food review: It's very similar to shake shack: but I'd say Shake Shack wins. It's really good burger but shake shack was better seasoned and juicier. It's thicker patty than shake shack's but shake shack has more flavor and the shake shack sauce pulls everything together really well. For this burger, no matter how you do add ons, it just doesn't bring all the flavors together all that well. But I just give it to these guys, their food is fresh! It was piping hot. Overall, the service and the ambience was great and the food was good.

Came here for dinner with my boyfriend back in December. It was chilly out, but we wanted to sit upstairs - thankful they had heaters! The food was great, I really enjoyed the "Cheesy Poofs" (fried pimento cheese). The sauce that came with it (sweet chili sauce) really topped it off. I got the Apache Burger - it was a good burger, but not the best I've ever had. It still hit the spot! I'd go back, but it wouldn't be my first choice for a burger.

I like this place. Great atmosphere and great food. I had the turkey burger with grilled onions. It was fresh and seasoned just right. Fries were good and you have to get the grind house sauce to eat with them. I forgot to take a pic but please try the Large Marge. It was so good. You have space to sit outside or inside. This is a must go to place for a good burger.

One of my fave burger restaurants. I love the consistency. I like that you can stay down stairs with the fam or meet up with friends upstairs for drinks. The food is always fresh. The staff is always willing to make recommendations to. The burgers are cooked just right and the perfect size to me personally.

Decent burger, but I had higher expectations which makes the review challenging I'd eat there again if i was in the area but would not plan to go there like some other burger places

Love the upstairs deck! The beer selection is great but we also love trying their other drinks and boozy shakes. The absolute best smash burgers we've tried in Atlanta too. And the staff is always super friendly and helpful.

I'm not really sure how I've gone so long without writing my review for Grindhouse, but better late than never right? I've lost count of how many times I've gotten burgers from here. The parking area is usually packed around peak lunch and dinner hours, but there's walkable street parking nearby. This Grindhouse is unique from other locations in that it offers a full service 21+ rooftop patio seating. Downtown Decatur is very family friendly, so having this makes it a popular choice to half out in the area. Burgers are pretty good here. They have set special burgers you can order, or you can build your own burger. Impossible and turkey burgers are available. The pandemic really ruined the dining experience here. The condiment station was gone the last time we visited, but you can ask for condiments at the counter. Overall, I still love Grindhouse burger :)

The food was good but pricey. The service was fantastic, ask her to rock paper scissors. But we turned the corner and much to my surprise i saw a man in a dress with the bulge showing, not the meat i was expecting. The ambiance of the place was very nice, i recommend bringing a jacket as it seems to get a little brisk. Once again come here for the burger meat not the non binary meat

Burgers are juicy came out fresh and the view was great for a lunch break. You have to try the fried green tomatoes

How have I not reviewed this Grindhouse??? For starters Grindhouse burgers is so amazing. I am a burger fanatic and Grindhouse is superior. Every single time I get a burger from here I'm impressed. This is the closest location to me so I order from here quite often. They are always consistent with the quality of food and service. The upstairs area is such a great atmosphere no matter what time of the year it is. All of their burgers are so creative and good. I will say the fries at Grindhouse are some of my favorite. (Add their special chili and cheese on them. You'll thank me). The beer menu isn't massive but has some awesome choices! If you're on the fence about Grindhouse don't be. Grab your keys and your wallet and go get yourself a burger! My typical order from Grindhouse is a double patty burger with bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and jalapeños.

Food was good and service was fast. I will definitely visit again. The ambiance was as expected.

Literally, one of my favorite burger joints. I was a long-time Five Guys fan but after giving up red meat, Grindhouse not only became a favorite but superseded my expectations. They are reasonably priced and offer way more! I got the cowboy-style burger and added jalapeños because I'm a spicy girl lol but I wasn't prepared for that kick! I loved it!!!! I started eating and forgot to take a picture

Can't go wrong with Grindhouse! Most options can be made with vegetarian protein. They usually have a bit of a wait, so ordering online is the way to go. I downloaded their app, which makes things easy. The impossible patty is a little pricy, adding $5.50 to a salad. The decor is really cute, bathrooms private and semi clean.

The food is good. I have been here a handful of times. The reason for my rating is low because of the poor service my wife and I received the last time from a young white lady. It has more to do with the fact that they had tables for 4 or more people and she asked us to move. The restaurant was empty and another similar table had 1 white guy. He was not asked to move. We do meet that demographic. See where I am going with this? Yeah. We will never be back.

So upon first entry I notice parking is creative. Mask is encouraged but not required. They I opened up their roof top and patio. The space is 90s nerd in love with retro sci-fi. I'm instantly excited. Big space downstairs an apparently upstairs is supposed to be a sports bar but I never made it up the stairs. (Pro tip signage says that's for the 21 and up). Now I had to order to-go so that's all I have on decor and service. Food: I built my own beef burger with fries. Bae built his with Turkey. I will add I was excited they had red onions and that it was listed on the menu. Made me get creative and add pico to my burger. Now keep in mind I searched for good fries when looking for this place. They did not disappoint. One bite of those fries and I remembered eating them on DoorDash when I was pregnant and giving birth. That's how good the food was that after the birth of my son I remember how delicious the food was. Even though my fries were a bit over cooked I still would say the fries made the trip worth while. It's the kind of good that as a kid you hope the v other person doesn't finish they food so you can eat it. Oh and yeah bae liked his too. Barely talked while eating good. I asked how he liked it all I got was a "yeah" good. The food deserves the "" as a review good. The milk shake was good but mine felt like what you'd expect nothing that unique. Bae like the peanut butter chocolate though.

I am such a long-time fan of Grindhouse! I honestly have never had something that I didn't enjoy. I also love how customizable everything is and you will find something for everyone. I usually get a turkey burger and will switch out toppings but usually with pickles and onions and it is always perfect, I also get a junior and it is just the right size and is very filling. It is also such a good price, not very expensive but so good! I also love the fries and onion rings because they are so crispy and just a perfect fry. The onion rings are good and also very crispy but with a nice big piece of onion that breaks just the right way. Recently, I got the milkshake of the month which for May is a Strawberry Shortcake and that was also delicious. It was just the right thickness and had little bits of angel food cake which was a tasty way to differentiate it from a strawberry milkshake. The service here can really depend on when you go but lately, the service has been really good and also helpful with any questions about the menu. I will definitely go again and would suggest this place to anyone because everything is so customizable.

Burger, hot dog and fries were great! Decatur Visitor Center recommended because my grandson wanted a great tasting hot dog. We were not disappointed.

Sooooo being down south has put me on sum'n I can't get enough of! They call it "the Pickle Back" whisky wit a shot of pickle juice! Perfectly splendid! I love this Place!!!

Open late night, decent size menu, perfect for the midnight grubbers. Interesting ambience and eager to try the upstairs bar the next time I go, service is friendly and the food comes out fast.

I have gone here multiple times before and the food was great. This is the first time I have had extremely subpar service. The woman taking the order was rude when the door was left open for the line and yelled at the like to shut the door. She asked my party and only mine if we wanted to be sat upstairs implying there was no space downstairs when there was plenty downstairs. We didn't want to sit upstairs and be forced to leave a tip so we left.

Grindhouse has the best burgers. I frequent the Decatur location, and I haven't eaten a burger I didn't enjoy. It's in a great location and has a great feel when you walk in to order. If you are 21 and older, you're allowed upstairs to enjoy their bar area. The service has always been great too. If you want an old - fashioned taste to your burger with great toppings you get to choose, then this is the place for you.......and me.

Great service, great food! Milkshakes are the best!! Our definitely go to spot for burgers!

Finally can scratch Grindhouse off my Yelp bucket list. Full services up stairs with a bar but decided to order and go with the self service. Staff was nice and plenty of tables on a Sunday. Parking is a little light on availability. Plenty of Public parking off the lot Burger was very tasty but the Martin's bun got a little soggy after a minute or two. Really good Onion rings and the chocolate banana milkshake was Fire. Great atmosphere great place for a group lunch. Decatur square offers a nice little walk to people watch post lunch.

The burgers and onion rings cooked freshly and taste great. Never a miss ! You have to try the burgers out so good ! The long lines just aren't fun.

My favorite burger place in Atlanta is by far Grindhouse. I haven't been here in a while as I don't live near any of the locations but since I was in Decatur I decided to drop in. Located in downtown Decatur in a busy area with limited parking. The decor is the same as all other locations and always very clean. This location has an upstairs bar with plenty of tv's and outdoor seating. Build your burger - impossible burger with mushroom, cooked and raw onions, lettuce, tomatoes, pico de Gallo, ketchup, mustard with sweet potato fries

Always a great place to eat safely I live that they always have Wild Haven craft beers available Also that I can get my Impossible Burger any way on the menu

This is my favorite burger spot. The staff is friendly. The burgers are so good. The drinks are delicious. Spiked milkshakes. Parking on site and on street. 21 & up upstairs only Covered and exposed seating. TVs around the roof. I can't wait for game season.

Fire. Burger was perfectly seasoned, cooked and the fries were bomb too. I wasn't huge on the onion rings (seasoning and crisp was mild). Had a chocolate shar for dessert and that was fire too. Only thing wrong with the shake was that I could have had more (bigger cup, maybe ask for a medium?). Could be costly for a family of four but it was worth it. Employee working reminded me to check my order and let them know if anything was missing. Parking on a Friday night could be tricky but it was great!

Yes Yes Yes!!! Ok I have been twice in three weeks. First time solo second time w/ Hubby. Turkey Burger (must fee a dbl or you'll be mad. The meat is thin) was soo good. I customized it. I got a single the first time but I knew better the second. I do not like the onion rings. I didn't like the batter it's like a cornmeal batter. The cheese fries ana sweet potato fries were yummy. The drinks - we has 3. I didn't like the mexican Lito drink (I think that's what it was called) it was nasty but I Dont want spicy liquor so personal preference. The other drinks which the bartender made up were delish. The waitress was just blahhhh. This is where they lose stars for me. We had an AA Bartender Man and he was super nice. Welcoming. I told him we just moved over here and he even gave us some pointers on the area. The Caucasian Lady Bartender the second time was the complete opposite. We had to keep flagging her for her attention and it was empty. She also made us feel as if we were bothering her. Her service makes it hard to want to return.
