We went there yesterday and were looked after so beautifully by the lovely Sasha. It was obvious she was under the pump having to make cocktails and take orders at the counter (at the same time ). She handled the pressure so beautifully and continued to give the most stunning service to everyone! What an absolute Queen! Sasha you’re amazing, thank You for making our experience a stunning one and a Big shoutout to Kew (not sure of spelling) but he was an absolute Star as well.

Amazing food here, with a good range of options, the Asian spicy wings are so incredibly tasty, and the burger I had was great too. Also the staff are very friendly and they seem to have nice looking cocktail options. Highly recommend.

I picked up a Crispy Pork Belly Roll around 7:00pm, and it was absolutely delicious. The pork belly was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy inside. The roll was still warm and fresh, which made the taste even better. It came with a flavorful sauce that paired beautifully with the richness of the meat, along with fresh pickled carrots, crisp lettuce, coriander, shallots, and a touch of mayonnaise. Every bite had a perfect mix of textures and vibrant flavors. A satisfying and well-balanced meal. Highly recommended!

Quite possibly the best burgers on the central coast! I visited here whilst having lunch with a mate, and was thoroughly surprised that a small joint I’ve walked past a thousand times could have such delicious burgers. All the ingredients were top quality, the food was to die for, and the service was unbeatable. If you love a good burger, don’t miss Chop N Grind!

We stopped in for a late lunch and didn't want a huge meal but asked if we could share and get an extra plate, it was no problem, also we ordered crispy chicken instead of the grilled again no problem they changed it for us. The service was exceptional the chef separated our salad into 2 bowl that were beautifuly presented. The waitress came to check everything was OK which it was. Chef also came out as we left and asked if we enjoyed and thanked us for coming. I highly recommend this little treasure of a cafe.

Finding a good beef burger is really hard but Chop and Grind delivered. If you want just a simple beef burger, go the The Junior Chop. The other burgers have some fancy stuff going on Everything was fresh and hot, from bun to salad to chips. The staff were amazingly friendly and the only restaurant I have been to in the last 6 months to actually come and check on us after we got our food to make sure we had everything we ordered and everything was ok. For that alone, they deserve 10 stars. The restaurant itself could do with a bit of makeover but it is a burger joint after all so a bit scruffy doesn't hurt. We had dinner there Friday night and I went back for lunch Saturday, it was that good. The staff were all happy, laughing and it was so nice to see. They included the patrons in their good mood.
