Trimana Grill

It’s my first time writing a review but I was very upset when I paid for a cup of coffee at 8:20 in the morning and then realized they ran out of regular coffee the person working there told me that they were no longer going to make coffee and tried to tell me to get a hot chocolate and said it was the same thing. He was rude and did not offer any solution. Will not be coming back. Shame on me for not noticing the Coffee Bean next door until I walked out.

Decent food. Good service.
What’s with the Fox News on the TV? Thanks, I don’t like right-​wing propaganda with my tuna melt.
LOSE THE FAUX NEWS.

Having gone here on several occasions out of convenience, I highly suggest not ordering from Trimana. Sure your dish is prepared the moment you order it but nothing is fresh. The ingredients from the rice to the hash browns are low quality. The chicken is dry or taste as if it has been sitting for a day. Even the salsa is sad and reminds me of something from a plastic container. I would rather waste away with hunger than order from here.

Extremely poor customer service. I had been patronizing this location for over 4 years, until an unfortunate incident yesterday.
First off, I should say that I’ve always had disdain for the long waits for my order. That is not what has gotten under my skin, however. I’m big on customer service and apparently they are not. The staff are slow, rude, and generally unattentive. Worse, barely any of them speak solid english. Yesterday when I went in, though there was no one in line, I waited nearly 15 minutes for a simple BLT. Outrageous. When I went to the bar to find out how much longer it was going to take, the cook seemed annoyed and rudely said «2 minutes!» He then began speaking in spanish to the other cook behind him. If I wasn’t so hungry, I’d easily have demanded a refund and left. Service is appalling, the food’s over priced, and the cooks are rude. Won’t be back.

I think the food is overpriced and the service is not that great. I hate going there. But sometimes I go due to the convenience. The food is not that great. If there any other choices I’ll go there. If I’m short on time, unfortunately Trimana is the place. It is run by very sullen individuals. I would recommend going to other places before I go to Trimana. This is an absolute last resort restaurant for those with very limited time in regards to lunch.
I ordered the grilled chicken. It’s dry. It’s as dry as wood. I can’t eat there unless I have to.

Overpriced, I immidately regret it everytime. That’s what I get for forgetting my lunch! $ 8 for tuna over greens. There was in a Trimana in the other building I worked at i Westwood… same thing. #lastresort
ANY ONE IN THE BUILDING WANT TO ORDER MY HOMEMADE ORGANIC EMPANADAS FOR LUNCH (MADE WITH COSTARICAN LOVE)???

I come to this place just because it is convenient. It is located right under my work. The sandwiches are decent and the breakfast is good.
BUTT was really blew me away was the fries. It actually pretty amazing how the outside is crispy yet the inside is like pillows of soft potatoes hahah.

This could be the DRIEST hamburger in North America. A co-​worker walked by asking me why I bought a hockey puck for lunch? Dry, and burnt… no thanks. $ 8 for this? Best part of my lunch were the ketchup packets.

I call this establishment «The Bull by the Balls Café,» and it’s a nickname that’s been well-​earned. Here’s why:
The majority of their business comes from the office building complex where it resides, as well as the Boeing facilities that sit across the street. Let’s say for this review that you work in this double-​building complex and you are in need of lunch. So, you go to Trimana, and are immediately appalled by the prices. So, you decide to go somewhere else for lunch. You could go get your car from the parking lot, and drive to some other place, only to find that there are lines out the door. You could go to the gas station, but you’ll find that all their sandwiches and other lunchable items are gone by 10:00. So, back to the parking lot you go (now, that killer spot you had earlier is gone, and you now have to park on the top floor), with only three minutes left on your lunch time. So back into Trimana you shuffle, lubed up and prepared to take it.
There are some that will tell you that the food here is fantastic. I call these people «In Denial.» The food isn’t all that great. At best, it’s above average. There is nothing unique or worth going out of your way for. There is nothing special or that stands out on either the menu or this location. It’s all just a little above average.
The one and only thing that needs to be noted, is that the prices are surprisingly high. We’re talking the kind of take-​it-​or-​leave it prices that you see in an airport terminal. My advice: bring your own lunch and save some money, or pick out some other place, and either phone, fax, or use a smartphone app to place your order ahead of time (which typically cuts down the wait-​time to about five minutes or less). Frankly, Trimana is only good as a last resort, Murphy’s Law, haven’t eaten a damn thing all day type of situation.

Wow this place is horrible. They NEVER charge the same for their products. Everything is super pricy and they are not consistent at all. I had ordered a chicken caesar salad last time and they provided me with the normal and the egg on it for $ 9. i went to order the same thing today and they said it was a dollar more. i’m like woooow you’re gonna charge me $ 9 + $ 1 more for a salad? how ridiculous. I still have no clue how they charge stuff since it doesn’t even show it on the receipt or on the menu. So ridiculous. I recommend stay away! I will be choosing a new location to purchase my food from.

A place where corporate faces line up for lunch to eat some greasy option while they sit at a four person table by themselves. It’s really nothing special, and the French Fries are decent My advice, save money and calories by bringing your own lunch.

If i didnt work here i most likely wouldnt eat here. Food is good i love the Greek salad, staff is great, super nice and helpful and never once have i had an issue with my food. just seems like stuff I could make myself if i wasnt too lazy to pack my own lunch. Prices r skirting that fine line of too high just enough to keep u coming back, and really they r my only choice unless i walk and ive established the laziness issue. :) quality of food is good though, and i do go here about 3 times A week :) i do like it but i dunno just seems like work and a part of work reminds me of a cafeteria of sorts, call ahead if possible as waits can get long.

A majority of the characteristics of this place are about average. It does offer a selection of snacks and drinks that you’d find in a gas station; but it’s more expensive. Their food is relatively expensive for what they sell, but for the most part, the food is fairly well done. There’s just nothing about this place that stands out.

It was like an AM/​PM Arco without the gas pumps
Located on ground floor of a tall business building, this place appears from the outside to be a small restaurant next door to a Flame Broiler chain restaurant. I have never heard of Trimana Grill, so I had no idea Trimana was a larger entity. Free 1 hour parking is available with a validation. They have about 6 deuces and 5 quads indoors. There are some patio tables that are shared with the Flame Broiler next door.
When you walk in, you think it’s an AM/​PM Gas Station store. There are several shelves with snacks and a few fridges with drinks, beer and ice cream. You order and pay for your food at the counter. Behind the guy at the counter is a wall of cigarettes, so you really feel like it’s a gas station. I didn’t look closely, but it wouldn’t surprise me if you can find condoms on the wall next to the ciggys.
The menu is on 5 big boards on the wall. They have burgers, sandwiches, salads, and breakfast. The kitchen looks just like a business cafeteria. About 6 guys working each station. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger, chili cheese fries and an AYCD soda for a bit over $ 12… and I didn’t get any gas, cigarettes or condoms for that price.
It doesn’t matter if you say you are eating it in or to-​go because everything is served in to-​go containers and they have a self-​serve bag system at the pickup counter.
Luckily, I got a deuce table. When I opened my containers, it was ugly. The burger looked like an AM/​PM burger. The Chili Fries had some meat, but not that much. The fries are what I call cheater fries. They dip the fries in a cornstarch type solution to help crisp them up when they are fried. I gives them a sandpaper type texture on the fries.
It was a disappointing lunch for $ 12. My only explaination for the crowd of people eating here is it’s one of two places to eat in the entire complex and it’s walking distance. If this place is crowded, what does that say about Flame Broiler? I should have walked over and looked to see if it was packed wall to wall which means the only saps that couldn’t get in there went next door to Trimana Grill. I am a Sap.

This place is crap crap crap. The only reason I go here at all is because it’s the only place to eat where I work. Or I’d never go here.
And today was the last straw of this below mediocre place.
I got food poisoning. And then I just found out two of my co-​workers got food poisoning the other day, so this isn’t a coincidence. I almost blame myself for it because this place is so crappy but I end up going here for convenience anyways and now I’m blowing up from both ends. Thanks Trimana, for sucking.
Hopefully this review stops at least one person from getting sick.

This place is kind of hidden. It’s on the first floor of a huge building. And you can’t see it from the main street.
I go here for their Lite Lunch Express. Which comes with half a sandwich, and soup. I usually like to get their turkey chili. They add cheese and onions in it. So good.
It’s actually a pretty good deal. The food is good. Parking is easy. People only come here for Trimana or Coffee Bean. And you get your food pretty fast.

The only reason I go to Trimana is because it is convenient. They are in my building so they are a quick run downstairs if I want some food and don’t feel like traveling far.
Most of their food is mediocre. You pretty much have to order something off of their daily specials to get a decent value. Their sandwiches are probably what you can make at home for ¹⁄₃ of the price. And you don’t even get fries with most sandwich orders. Their breakfast burritos are decent though. I will give them that. However, they are not worth it unless you order from their specials. Otherwise, the cost/​value ratio is way off. Their hashbrowns may be the worst I have ever had and their omelets are unappealing as well. On a good note, they do have amazing salads and they give you a generous portion. They cost is still more than it needs to be, but at least you can somewhat justify it by making them two meals.
The service is good and the people there are really nice. So that is definitely a plus.
So eat there if you must, otherwise, try and find better value for your dollar.

Where: Right below my place of work so it’s super convenient!
When: You know, lunch time! So it can get a bit busy in here but the service is with a sense of urgency. All the utensils needed are here so you don’t need to drink your soup — lol. The employees here are nice and informative. There’s a lot on the menu so most customers are checking it out for a bit — ask if they’re in line if you’re ready to order, most of the time, you might end up in the front of the line. =)
What: Lite Lunch Express, ½ Turkey Sandwich on whole wheat bread — toasted — with mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato & 8oz Chicken and Sausage Gumbo Soup & a Fountain Beverage. The sandwich was good especially with the soup. The soup was quite excellent! The flavors were a bit spicy and I was glad there was rice in it. The soup exceeded my expectations. The sandwich was as it sounds, nothing special but good.
Price: Moderate. It cost me $ 7.67 total including tax for my Lite Lunch Express which was satisfying. I’m not hungry yet for a snack which is good.
Frequency: I will come here again but since I am new to the area, I think I will check out more locations before I come back…

Nothing to brag about but if you work in walking distance from this place it’s pretty good for the following reasons:
— Plenty of indoor AND outdoor seating
— Cheap (about $ 10 for a chicken avocado sandwich & fries)
— Their fries are pretty fantastic
— Their salads are pretty good quality and a decent portion
— They have a little convenience store section with tylenol, cookies, drinks, energy bars and probably even condoms

Needed a quick pre-​flight meal before the flight @ LAX.
Trimana, located underneath a score of companies, had a great choice of sandwiches, salads and wraps.
#25 Chicken Bacon Club $ 6.49
#26 Chicken Avocado $ 6.49
Both very good & fresh, choices of grilled breads/​wraps & basically any combination you can think of. Portions are big, easily can split one order into two meals.
Healthy additions: alfalfa sprouts!!! Not seen much b/​c of all the E. Coli scares.
Parking lot: 5pm on a Monday, dudes in their biz casual wear hanging out, smoking. 20 minute limit, for the cars, they should extend it to the smokers also.
