Used to be a great experience. $15 for this sandwich. What’s with the false advertising on the wall. Super disappointed and won’t be coming back. Plenty of better options in the area.

Amazing service and Jewish-Mexican Fusion offering hand crafting yet unique dishes that will have you mouthwatering. The staff is also diligent and kind which adds to the home style experience. PLEASE TRYY

As an east coast transplant, this place reminds me of New Jersey diners. Bagels and lox plate were perfect but the curly fries were perfection!

Food was perfect both trips here and on the scheduled pick up time also. Zero hassle experience with the counter staff, they are fantastic

Parking: Google Maps leads you to the back of the store, not to the storefront. Be careful.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Once Upon a Grill! From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable. The staff were not just polite but genuinely welcoming, making us feel like honored guests.

The food quality was great. This is a quality mid-teer breakfast diner. I have ordered several things off the menu and each dish was really good. You can get bagels, skillets, omelets, and many other breakfast foods. I have not had the pancakes but from what I have seen it is not that great.

The establishment is very clean and spotless, from the tables to the restrooms. It felt like the staff really took pride in maintaining a pristine environment.

However, it's important to note that "Once Upon a Grill" is not a place for those seeking ultra-fancy, gourmet dining. Instead, it excels as a haven for comfort food lovers, offering delicious, well-prepared dishes in a friendly, inviting atmosphere.

This is the place you go to have great home cooked breakfast so you can chat about current events, laugh, and not worry about making breakfast.

Order at the counter, they bring the food to you and clean your table of your debris when your done. Attendants do enjoy a tip.

Once Upon A Grill is a counter-service style of deli. They have great breakfast options, good bagels, and delicious sandwiches. The service is always good and helpful and their bussers/food runners are extremely friendly and helpful.

They have a ton of food options from deli to tacos to wings. However, I tend to order their Once Upon A Breakfast when I go in the mornings. Eggs how you want them, a meat selection, hash browns or fruit, and toast or pancakes with a beverage.

Lunch is always a deli sandwich...however, they have an extensive menu. You help yourself to anything: coffee, tea, soda, horchata, etc.

You even get your own silverware and napkins are on the table. For all intents and purposes, the counter service acts more like a cafeteria.

I meet for breakfast here once a month and sometimes meet a group during the week. It's truly my go-to breakfast place.

A couple doors down is the Once Upon A Deli so you can purchase items in bulk or order trays for lifecycle events. They are perfect for shivas/wakes, Jewish holidays, family gatherings, etc.

If you're looking for a good breakfast or lunch place, Once Upon A Grill is your place.

I don't know what the food is like in this place, but the staff is so rude and disrespectful that even I think the delicious food will turn nasty.
