Burger: Super burger. Toasted bun with two beef patties topped with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, diced red onions and mustard ($9 including fries).
Sides: Fries, sweet potato chips, beet chips (try them please, they are amazing), daily soup, garden or side salad.
Atmosphere: A tiny room with a kitchen-counter-cash combo built into the corner by the front door. The original brick walls are painted off white and accented with artwork. It’s a friendly space made even warmer by an exceptional staff.
Menu: Holy Grill is only open 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Saturday, and, therefore, only does breakfast and lunch. It has a simple yet interesting menu featuring paninis, burgers, traditional breakfast, eggs Benedict and sandwiches.
Decision: Hoping for a religious burger experience, I was keen on trying Holy Grill. Unfortunately, I didn’t find God in a burger. I enjoyed the super burger, but I can’t get past the skimpy patties. As in previous reviews, I was grateful I ordered a double burger — a single wouldn’t have come close to my preferred bun-to-meat ratio. The liberal application of mustard really brightened things up, reminding me that one simple condiment can go a long way on a decent sandwich.
