Against Da Grill

Really not the best french toast. Didn’t like the sausage. Now lunch was great my daughter had a burger and I had the buffalo wrap its good. I much rather delivery than eating at the location.

I’ve only been for breakfast but I keep coming back. It’s a secret and I almost dont want to tell but on Sundays they have Red Velvet waffles and they are amazing! I’ve gotten the chicken to accompany it many times and the first time the chicken was under cooked but every other time was awesome. Star is usually my waitress and she’s the sweetest and totally accommodating. No pork is served here but they have lots of beef replacements. Solid place on the island, which is must needed. I will be returning. Preferably on Sunday :)

They changed their homefries and I am bereft.

Love it here! I use to order their incredible steak wrap, but they don’t do steak anymore. So I do order the incredible chicken wrap which is just as amazing as steak. yumm!
I always get their coco loco smoothie which is HEAVEN!
Food is great here, love it, it is a bit pricey, but it’s worth it !!

Came here on a saturday during lunch and it was slow. Place has a good atmosphere considering the area. I ordered a chicken sandwich and a fruit shake. Food was very good and tasty but I agree with some of the other reviewers in terms of value for what you get. So overall I would come back because I care about quality and taste of food over quantity and price within reason.

great food good service slow delivery!

I’ve only been here for breakfast. With that being said, the french toast is delicious. I like the breakfast wraps because you get so many (healthy) choices of what to stuff it with! The turkey sausage is so juicy!
The only thing that turns me off is the seating and décor. The tables and chairs and bar area are kind of cheap and tacky. There aren’t many tables or places to sit… I think they should re-​think the table layout.
Also — there has never been a hostess or someone to seat us. Just a girl, behind the «bar» area, to tell you where you should go.
And please, please, please start taking AMEX!
I do love the music though. It’s a mix of 80s and 90s!

Food is delicious, lots of variety and the menu is incredibly creative. Love to come here for breakfast or lunch. Staff is nice, there is one particular waitress who is a little forgetful but she means well. It’s noticeable though. I would suggest one of the creative wraps for breakfast. PS no pork anywhere on menu if you’re expecting it and i respect that, but if you’re looking for ribs it ain’t happening.

Today was only my second time eating inside Against da Grill, we’ve ordered from them countless times.
Needless to say, our dinner today was somewhat of a disaster.
No diet any kind of iced tea
No mozzarella sticks, no chicken fingers, no naked chicken fingers. ok well I guess we’ll have the wings. (which were good)
No pepper jack cheese, ok, well I guess we’ll have cheddar…
10 minutes later. no wasabi sauce left either. ok scrap the Jack of all Trades burger then, because now it’s just a plain old bacon cheeseburger. They did let us sub a wrap for the burger at this point and the waitress was extremely nice.
Burgers were good, but the wraps I’ve had are better. The green goblin and the chick in the red dress are my favorites.
The mac-​n-​cheese is disappointing, you’re better off ordering it elsewhere.
Delivery has always been prompt and delicious. I don’t really know what people are complaining about it being pricey, Where else does a burger and fries not cost 11 $?

Delivery service is pretty quick but the prices are high for some chicken and hamburgers. $ 8.75 for a small chicken and macaroni and cheese!!! The chicken was pretty good but the mac n cheese was kinda dry and when they small serving they ain’t messing around. 2 piece chicken (Thigh and wing) and a small serving of mac ‘n’ cheese… and that was the cheap price. Maybe i should have gone for a wrap. Ah well, since it was so pricey i’m only eating half the cheese and one chicken and save the rest for tomorrow. At least then I’ll have lunch for tomorrow and won’t have to go out in the cold and spend more money. ;-)

Great place in a shitty location, which I think will hinder their business. It isn’t on a main street and the area isn’t well lit, but parking isn’t bad. I’ve only been there once on a Friday night and it was dead. Maybe it’s mostly a lunch place? I was surprised to see how clean and funky the place is and it seems most of their business is take out (probably because of the less than desirable location). I took off a star because someone was sitting at the bar without ordering anything who I guess was a friend of the wait staff, and they have a curtain blocking off the kitchen and cashier area which doesn’t seem very hygienic.

The food here is DELICIOUS! The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because it is a little pricey. :-(But in there defense so far it has been worth it everytime :-) I’ve only had breakfast (french toast, cornbeef hash, eggs, homefries, toast) here and am glad to report this isn’t a powder egg type of place. I also never dined in here… only ordered to go.

I have never dined in but I have had delivery service twice. That 5 boro sandwich is wonderful and tasty. I had the steak salad which was just the way I ordered medium. It came loaded while thin slices of steak and mixed greens. And yesterday I ordered a fried chicken dinner with string beans and mac & cheese. Now That tasted home made! I was surprised at how good it was. That might have been my fried chicken if I had not been too lazy to cook. My daughter lives in Westchester and just from word of mouth from others wants to go there. I guess I’ll will be making an appearance soon. Check out their menu, they have lots of healthy options and a slamming juice and smoothie menu. I find their prices quite reasonable. I got to try their breakfast menu.

I’ve been ordering from this place for awhile now, mostly breakfast and the last 3 times my order had been missing something I’ve asked for specifically or completely wrong. I have no complains about the food. I just wish they’d pay more attention to the orders, maybe the cook doesn’t pay attention or he just doesn’t care. Things like, asking for white bread and not challah bread for French toast… they still made challah. Adding cheese to an egg, got no cheese. I have nothing bad to say about the food, just please pay more attention, bcuz the order is correct on the receipt, but its wrong in the plate. Please act like you care and pay attention. Thank you.

When they’re slammed, it’s a mess but generally the food’s good.
The owner should stick around on Sundays because that’s when they get really busy and send out horrific food drenched in grease after a 35 minute wait.
Enough with the Sunday madness.

Their food is tasty and healthy, but small portion for the price you are paying. I have only gotten food to go and have not a chance to eat in. However, the ambiance is pretty nice with the brick exposure and pretty big flat screen tv.
Onto the food, it’s not greasy, but tasty. I don’t eat much, but I want to get my money’s worth and I felt that I was not fully satisfied with the food.
Maybe I will give them another try soon.

Awful food! Food cooked in old oil and over done! Disgusting. I paid $ 30 for two meals, had it delivered. The staff was nice enough but the food was like someone was just learning how to cook. This was my second time ordering from here. The first time food was alright but this time was simply embarrassing. If I were the owner and knew the condition of the subpar food that was being sent out if that kitchen I would never show my face in public! I was actually happy to see a new business opening up in my neighborhood and was looking forward to patronizing there. Too bad. I am definitely «Against» Da Grill. I do hope for their sake that this was just a one time occurrence.

One of my favorite places on Staten Island. The best things I have ordered for breakfast were the blueberry hot cakes and the french toast. The variety of shakes are all good and for lunch they have many other options that are consistently good. All the wraps and specials are good. If you order the the meal with the works it comes with fries and onion rings. The nutty nana and the strawberry colada are great smoothies. Try them. They need to make more of these joints around the Island. Love it!

I love this restaurant. I try to stay away, but I find myself wanting a dish. From their fried chicken, to grilled tilapia and their ever so great smoothies. They don’t serve spirits or pork but thats okay. Their menu provides so much that you don’t even miss it.

Two thumbs up for
friendly service, Great smoothies
Well cooked AND seasoned food
Nice Substitution options
Wide variety of items on the menu
FRESH ingredients, food MADE ON ORDER – no dried up food waiting around to be picked up.
They are willing to please – one day we called to order and they had run out of an item for one of the smoothies. We were offered another smoothie for free and comp’ed 10% off our total order. Now that is customer service!
Bathroom is a little small and cramped but I think they just let me use it because I was pregnant… and no one wants an angry pregnant lady. Try it out if you want something clean and healthy – though they have your not so healthy burgers, fries and mozzarella sticks as well… Cant beat it.
