Long Island, you have something I want. Who wants hot juicy meat on a stick? This girl!
Dressed up like a fast casual chain restaurant, Grill Mark offers burgers, salads, dips, fries, and juices. But the star of the show are those perfectly seasoned, delectably fresh meat sticks, served with a side of pita and and dense house made tzatziki. Enjoyed the chicken and filet mignon (medium – yes they cook your stick to temp) sticks and was floored by their succulence and depth of flavor. Fingers crossed they open more locations. Until then, this place finally gives me something to look forward to when I trek out to Long Island.
Why am I disappointed again when this place actually had good reviews. I tried GrillMark when it first opened because I love the concept. Grilled fresh food nothing better. Yet both times I ordered, the pork platter was dry, had soggy fries as a side this time. The Spanish rice however was pretty good. Also ordered a garden salad with shrimp (comes with 5) with a side of honey mustard. The dill honey mustard might have been the best part of the meal, wish I could bottle it up and keep it in my fridge. The shrimp was cooked right but not enough. The pork, dry, only 5 pieces on the stick. The platter says it comes with a side salad but opened my back and nothing…
Why would I pay $27.50 for this food when I can have Mediterranean food down the block at Yummy Gyro? Only way I would try GrillMark again is if I go in and sit down. Both times I have picked up the food seemed like it was sitting there for 20 minutes. I love the concept but portions are so tiny for the price. If the food quality was better, that would make up for it but as of now, no thank you!
I ordered from grub hub and wasn't left with many options and had to get something that was kosher. I found grill mark and everything sounded so good. When my food arrived, I sat down and unwrapped to eat it.
My fries were cold and soggy, I couldn't even eat them so I threw them out. I took two bites into my gyro before also discarding of that. It was literally the worst gyro I have ever tasted in my entire life and I've had plenty of horrendous gyros in my lifetime. This place definitely took the trophy on that.
That being said, it was a waste of food. A waste of
My time waiting while I was starving. And a waste of whatever money I've spent on it. Never again will I be ordering anything from here. I advise you do the same.
If I was in the area I might come back. But I might just as easily hop into Wendy's for a salad.
Its a cute restaurant. Light and breezy and the staff is friendly. It doesn't have a rushed feel to it even though I see about a 50/50 for staying in and to go orders.
BUT they need to work on their bathroom!! It's unisex which is fine except when I go in, the seat is up, and there's pee on it and the floor.
And on the whole the food was lacking. I had a pork stick and it had no flavor. Thankfully it was good pork. Would have really sucked if it was shitty meat and no flavor. I liked the pita, the tzatziki had no flavor.
Moms salad was large but it was mostly lettuce. There wasn't enough chicken bacon or avocado to have a good flavor with each bite. But then they do want you to splurge on extra meat so from a business standpoint I get it. I was surprised the Cobb didn't have more.
Had a long day of errands and was at the little strip mall that this restaurant is in, right next to the citibank. Parking is always a challenge in that lot, the design is weird and it gets flooded if it rains a lot. Once you get in you are greeted with music and casual crowsed tables and chairs and a row of couch with tables and chairs. The menu is well organized and pricey but feels like it's fresh and abundant. $25 for lunch for two of salmon sticks ( cooked cubes on a stick) that came with 1 small cut up pita, dipping sauce and with one $5 beer. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. I got up to bus my table on the way out and the kind worker told me she'd take care of it for us. They have kale and quinoi and vegan wraps too.
Definitely a fan. If this establishment is to expend, which certainly seems to be the plan, SUBURBIA would only be the better for it. "Healthy food fast" or whatever this places cheesy logo is may seem like a trite cliche, few places do it, and fewer still do it well. This place successfully using Middle Eastern mains as a starting point, and backing it up with excellent healthy side options, including a Quinoa salad I get whenever I have the chance. Of those mains, the chicken schwarma is reliably juicy and my go to option. Setting is suburban and sterile but the assembly line is efficient and the staff actually genuinely friendly. Best of luck to this place and hopefully it remains solid as it expands a la Shake Shack.
Per the other yelpers reviews, this restaurant is just a mixed bag of reviews. It was either going to be a home run or run for home review. I am going for 2 stars for this review. I may have given it 2.5 just because the bathroom was very clean.
The price, let's say…overly priced and the portion of meat, incredibly small. Meat to price ratio is way off.
You will get an huge amount of French fries, then they stick the meat stick on top of the meal trying to make it look big. The side salad is served in a plastic container which always gives me the feeling like it was pre-made in the fridge. I just don't like that feeling. Eating visually is important. The dressing for the salad was a Greek style Mediterranean but had absolutely no flavor except that of bad olive oil. I always test me dressing before I put it on salad because I hate to ruin a salad with horrible flavored dressing. The
Tzatziki was made fresh, it has to be or you will get a watery mess. That being said, it was pretty much the flavor of the yogurt and the dill, but not much cucumber and certainly limited garlic. It was bland.
They give you some pita slices with your meal. These were not warm at all. It's as if they again, give you more of the cheap stuff to keep your mind off the fact that they give you so little meat.
G had the lamb stick which he said had no flavor and his sweet potato fries were limp and lacked taste also.
The employees were friendly and nice to speak with, so 4 stars for the good customer service, but if if the food is lack luster, then no amount of friendly will get return customers.
We doggie bagged all the fries and pita parts for the birds at home. They will eat anything. As for us, we will not return here, as there are better places to spend $32.00 for better food.
Overall: 4.5 stars, rounded down to a 4 bc it's not quite a 5.

Will I go back? Absolutely.
Decided to go outside my usual radius (roslyn) today, for lunch. Was glad that I did.
Food:
I ordered a simple chicken pita wrap. The meat was exquisitely seasoned and cooked. The rest of the food looked very appetizing, will go back for more.
Service:
The staff is helpful, but the wait for take out is slow. Order ahead (as I will surely do, next time). the upside to the wait is the sandwich was hot and perfect. While I waited, I observed the staff bus the tables, even though it's a "fast food" type layout. Very impressed. The only knock on service is the wait.
Value:
It's not cheap, it's not expensive.
Bottom line: This will definitely be added to the lunch rotation.
