“Nearly Perfect.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 18, 2012

You MUST eat here. Period. Unbelievable burger. Incredible nachos, and no word of a lie: Perfect fries. The last fry I ate was as crispy and delicious as the first.

John, the owner has a grin the whole time. As I sat down to wait for my food in the quaint parking lot, John rolled up in his truck with two giant bags of burger buns.

If you're lucky you'll meet John and his wife's lady killer of a 6 year old. This kid can steal your girlfriend. He also likes to push his dirty hair into your face and body. Be careful, way too cute.

I don't care what other places you want to eat at, make sure you eat here.

“Disappointed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed July 15, 2012

The place is just as described by other reviewers: small, pick-nick tables, hard to find, etc. But the food is not even close to be a #1. I'm not sure if our selection was not the most appropriate, we had nachos, that didn't taste well and were a little bit cold, and a chilli hamburger that was so so. The drinks were fine and the service very friendly, but definitely there are better restaurants in the area.

“Best in La Fortuna!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 14, 2012

Simply the BEST in the area. Not much good eating in town. But we found the NY Grill and we were so happy to find this place. Great food, great people, great service! Such nice folks that took so good care of us we felt like family. Visited them 2 times in our 3 days in town since we found tasty treats at fair prices. A must stop while in town. Enjoy!

“Disappointing after seeing all the rave reviews.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed July 9, 2012

Tried several times to go here. The hotel staff said they had not heard of it as did several cabbies. Our tour guides had heard of it but tried to talk us out of going there. Got the impression that the locals did not like this place but don't know why. Finally made it & the "hole in wall" descriptions are fitting but I don't mind that. We ate in a couple of other small places that were very good. We were the only customers. I ordered the nachos - yellow liquid cheese sauce covered and it was cold. Would not return even though it is inexpensive.

“Great lunch spot”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 6, 2012

Everything about our meal was great here, repeating some early reviews, including the friendly family that own it (he's from Jersey!). The owners daughter entertained us while we waited for our meal with her two pet iguanas, and we enjoyed the friendly chat. In fairness to all of you planning your meals, you might find the restaurant a little rustic (sitting outside on Picnic tables) for a family dinner. But we did have a good burger and chicken parm sandwich.
