grind gastropub and kona tiki bar

a little far from me but worth the trip. the burger choices are limitless and the names they give them are super clever. love the hidden wine tasting room in thebackand the outside vibe. service was a bit slow but maybe because there was only one person taking care of that area.

thebackbar had a great atmosphere, but unfortunately it was packed. the friendly host informed me there was pretty of room inside and escorted me in. the bar was nice and there was a lady who personally greeted everyone. i think her name was maybe laura. she checked on me several times to be sure everything was good. there was live music. the menu is quirky in that all the items are given song titles. i can't remember the name, but there was a great cocktail with ginger beer, bourbon, and ginger beer. food was good and reasonably priced. i had the filet and it was very good. i will visit this place again.

great place with a eclectic menu!!. what a cool place with a great eclectic menu. i love the different things that were added to the different dishes. i had the grind burger that was really good with a cheese sauce that had some jalapeno kick added. good stuff, would recommend this place to anyone. we ate in the inside on this night but we will definitely will dine in thebackkona tiki bar outdoor section the next time we go, as we walked through thebackpatio area to our car there was a lot more drinking and fun outside where every table was all smiles.

these empty nesters give "grind astropub"
five thumbs up and five stars!!

ended up making a pit stop on a sunday afternoon and wasn't in the mood for the usual exit fare. grind & tiki bar popped up. not too far from i-95 and totally worth the stop! the tiki atmosphere is fun, the music is a good even volume, and the food was fantastic! ordered the poke nachos, love bites (steak tips), crab cake sliders, and "kids" mac & cheese. everyone in our party loved their dishes from the picky teenager to the even pickier three year old. the mac was gourmet, steak was well seasoned, and the tuna poke was plentiful and had a nice little kick (almost reminded me of the tuna poke flavors from epcot food & wine).

there is a wide variety of options on the menu, clean restrooms, and super friendly staff (who was quick to manage a drink spill.) parking in thebackis most convenient vs trying to enter off of the main street.

we would definitely comebackand even might make the drive from orlando just to eat here.
