Got food poisoning right after eating there. I had a cheeseburger, fries, and a milkshake and a coke.

I’ve been to Sunny Grill in Mar Vista twice now—once almost a year ago and again today. The first time, the older lady working there was extremely rude, but I let it go, thinking maybe she was having a bad day. Everyone goes through things.
But after going back today, it’s clear this is just how she treats people. She was just as nasty—cold, dismissive, and clearly unhappy to be there. It honestly feels like she hates working there, and it shows in how she talks to customers.
If you can’t treat paying customers with even basic respect, maybe it’s time to bring someone else in who actually wants to be there.
And let’s be real—the food isn’t even that good for her to be acting the way she does.

The grilled chicken sandwich is decent that's why I gave 2 stars, instead of one. The fries are horrible, unsalted and cold. A side of ranch cost an extra $1.25 and it's TERRIBLE!!! RANCID really! I have been eating here since I was a kid, since it was Demi's grill and it's just gotten worse and worse over the years. I'm so disappointed because it's a family run business and I would love to support them. It's time to rethink the menu options and some of there recipes.

Cool old spot.
Burgers are thin & overcooked, fries are basic, onion rings are frozen & just not that good
Cashier was super friendly & helpful

This review is due to the owner’s attitude (older lady with long white hair). Doesn’t greet you and just stands there rudely just begrudgingly waiting for you to order.
Also forgot to order coffee with my order and she didn’t let me order because there is a “$5 credit card minimum” that’s not noted anywhere that I saw. She just smirks and raises her eyebrow at me.
People say the prices are reasonable.. and they are but the portions are small. I can’t support a business with a horrible owner and they have only like two to three actually “Greek” options. Byeeeee forever.

I’ve lived in Mar Vista and Venice (Westiiiiiiiiiiiide!) for half of my life and Sunny Grill has been my go-to spot for 20 years. Great food and service. They literally never get my order wrong! The chicken gyro, quesadilla and grilled chicken sandwich are my favorites. Yes, the drive-thru can take awhile when there’s a line, but it’s fresh food and well worth it.

They undercook the meat in my breakfast burrito every time, even after asking for well done. Will not be spending anymore money here.

Honestly, not worth your time or money. There's so many other places in the neighborhood that you could go and support.
I drove by and noticed this small modest cafe in mar vista, and decided to give it a go. I love to support small businesses when I can. But I was honestly so disappointed with this one.
Food was mediocre. Service was awful. Walked in, and Noone bothered to say or offer any sort of acknowledgment.
An older lady took my order behind the counter, but not bc she asked what I would like. She just stood there, and I assumed she's who I ordered with.
Prior to ordering I asked if she had wifi in the establishment bc I needed to do some work on my laptop. She said that we use the Mar vista library wifi, which is an open connection. I asked if the connection was good or spotty. She said it was good. So i decided to order based on the fact that i could use my laptop
Ordered my sandwich, and she didnt even bother to ask me if i wanted anything to drink. I sat down, and opened my laptop, and OF COURSE, there is no Mar vista library wifi! I pointed that out to her and mentioned that there is a connection labeled sunny grill. To which she shrugged and said she couldn't give me the password for their wifi.
Never coming here again.

Someone teach them how to use the credit card machine. They said it didn't charge me $15.98, then they charged me $8 more? They were taking forever to try to figure out what they did and it took forever just to get them to hand me my card back. They didn't give me my food since they were so confused as to whether they charged me or not, and now I have to call my credit card company. Terrible customer service and I've been coming here for years. Never again.
