Grujos German Fast Food

I absolutely loved it ! It did remind me of the authentic Turkish Doner I would savor in Hannover Germany! The portion sizes were perfect. Our host gave my little one a piece of German chocolate which we both enjoyed … Definitely going to visit again

I thought it was really good. I got the schnitzel plate. I really liked it. My husband got the currywurst. He didn’t really like it. But he’d never had anything like that. The only problem I had was the staff seemed undertrained and the associate we spoke to didn’t speak very good English. I don’t think most people really understand German cuisine around here, so I think it’s important to have a staff that is warm and enthusiastic to teach customers about it. I just didn’t feel that at Grujo’s.

My experiences at Grujo’s have been inconsistent. The first time I had ordered the currywurst with broetchen, I got the wurst cut up in small pieces. On my next visit I ordered currywurst again but this time asked for the sausage in one piece. I received 2 whole currywursts. Now the last time I was there I again ordered the currywurst (off the menu). This time, however, I was served only 1 whole sausage and for the same price as all the other times. Why the inconsistency in the quantity?
Let me add, however, that the quality of the food is excellent.

Absolutely delicious. Love the Doner plate, Doner sandwich, Jäger fries, falafel, schnitzel. I would eat there everyday if I could. I highly recommend this restaurant. It’s the best place, by far, for german food in Knoxville.

Love the concept of German fast food! Arrived about 5 min before the lunch rush to find half-​doz lunch specials, including drink, for $ 5.99. Got brat on a bun w/​very good sauerkraut & skinny hot fries. Friendly staff, fast service, great food. I’ll be back to try other options. At corner of Emery Rd & Dry Gap Pike (directions under «get» not exactly accurate).

The food is just ok. It’s more middle eastern food than German food. Super expensive for what you get. I haven’t been back since my first visit

Excellent !!! Nuff said good food good German beers good prices. Easy to get to. Emory rd exit off 75. Schnitzel was huge and order of sauerkraut was enough to share. They had something called a European salad and it was really good. Can’t list everything in it but was unique

Went there last weekend for the first time and tried the currywurst which came with a nice and crusty roll. It was spicy hot (which i like) but you can get it mild as well. I throughoully enjoyed every bite of my meal and will be going again soon!

We set out to check it out, having read good reviews of the place. Both of us ordered the Doner Plate with spicy yogurt sauce; it came with sides of pommes frites and a cucumber and lettuce/​cabbage salad. Good German Spaten beer on tap. The meat on the plate was really good, softly seasoned and then spiced up to taste with the yogurt sauce. The guy behind the counter who took our order was personable and very helpful; food came out quickly. Very clean restaurant, not too terribly atmospheric but efficient and bright and clean… sort of reminded me of the quick food restaurants in The Netherlands and Germany. We’ll go back to try the currywurst, for sure. Great weekend lunch spot.

First visit here. Small place, but good food. I tried the Currywurst, white brat, with the mild sauce. Great flavor. Do yourself a favor and dip your fries in the curry sauce.

I come every Wednesday for happy hour and I have to say I love this place. The staff is friendly and I love how informative they are on all the food and beer they have. I love the bratwurst and the warsteiner beer is awesome. Please come check them out and I know you will enjoy it as much as I do.

Great food with healthy portions. The lady who took our order alerted us to all the specials and was knowledgeable about the product but after us and the only other table there were served she came out and did this group check thing where she stood in the middle of the floor and asked us all if everything was okay. I’m not sure if this is just how this restaurant operates but it felt rushed and impersonal.
We will eat there again.

I have been here a few times now and I always leave happy! The food is great and the staff is knowledgeable about it and have no problem explaining things to you or giving recommendations. I understand they have some great beer too but I still need to try it. The owner is super sweet! And more than willing to go above and beyond. My sister and I ordered 2 things to share. When she came with our order and we said we wanted to share she went to go cut the items and plate them for us!

Will never go back. First time we went wanting lamb and they were out. What we had was ok. Second time we went they were out of lamb again. My husband and i both got schnitzel. I got chicken and my husband got pork. He barely had any meat in his. I was eating mine and noticed it was totally raw. I happened to be 9 months pregnant at the time too. So I took it back up there and the cashier finally came over. She was kind of apologetic but I was so worried about whether or not I was going to get sick from it. She walked back to the back and the manager wouldn’t even come over. She is the one that cooked it. She told the girl to tell us we could have a free cookie since we didn’t want more food. Such a rookie move cooking raw fried chicken. And for her to not come even apologize I will never go back.

With service like this Grujo is here to stay!!! Went in on valentines day because I was cooking German food for my girlfriend. I inquired about the posibility of buying only some potato salad and brochen rolls to accompany our meal. I would assume that a request like this in most fast restaurants would be met with some resistance. Not only did they accommodate my odd request, they gave us our rolls for free because as the awesome girl at the counter said…“it’s valentine’s day baby”. She also told us that «Mama said bake the rolls at 380 degrees for 5 minutes» and sent us on our way. The rolls were awesome (as usual) and so is the rest of their fare. I hope this place is around for a very long time. 5 ENTHUSIASTIC STARS!

One of our new favorite food spots in Knoxville. Delicious German fast food. Staff was friendly and patient. I haven’t eaten much German food and some of the food choices were foreign to me. They patiently explained food options. Loved the food! We will be back soon!

The wait is definitely worth it. The food was very tasty and I was quite impressed. The portion is large, so you’ll even have leftovers for the next day. Make sure to save room for dessert. It was amazing!

I was born in Germany and have lived there on and off my whole life. So I know a little bit when it comes to German food.
My mom heard about this place and wanted to go try it.
I have to say, I wasn’t impressed.
The food is good, but it’s not really something I would go back for. I had the currywurst. It was okay, but I didn’t like the sausage they used. Normally something more like a hotdog is used for currywurst, they use something more like a bratwurst (or like a breakfast sausage) for theirs though.
And the wait was something else. Their was a line out the door and all of the tables were full. My family and I simply decided to wait and take our food home with us. When we finally ordered our food, the cashier didn’t put in my mom’s ordered. We didn’t notice until our food was done, so she ate a little of my food. And the cashier kept chewing on her lip piercing, which is just something that bothered me.
Their idea is really good, but they still need time to perfect it. I might try it again later on, I hope they have it figured out by then.

Seriously the best food. Everything I have tried has been fantastic! There is a bit of a wait, but it is totally worth it! They have not stopped since they’ve opened which is a testament to their quality. Not to mention their customer service is amazing!

So far I’m not impressed. The first time had to wait over 90 minutes. Last night three couples ahead of us and it still took 20 minutes to place our order. Just like the first time they were out of Shnitzel, which set the mood for the night. Then it took another 15 minutes to get the coke machine refilled. All the mustard sauces were empty.
The food was ok. Not something I was impressed with. My wife did enjoy hers which was a vegetable wrap. So for the time being I can’t rate any higher than a two star. It just seemed like there still need to be a lot of work done before being prepared for a public opening.
