The Grill Next Door is a family-owned and operated restaurant in Gardnerville. The restaurant’s focus on excellent service and high-quality, fresh food has earned it numerous awards. Customers love the consistently fresh classic and creative eats served up from the little kitchen.
If you order a burger, you can be assured that it was not purchased pre-formed, pre-cooked, frozen, or from a factory. Every single one is made to order from fresh ground beef - or fresh ground turkey or chicken breast if you’d rather.
The freshness factor does not just apply to burgers. You will find the same fresh made-to-order theme throughout the entire menu, from sandwiches to appetizers to specials, whether the meal is breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Burgers are just one sandwich offering. I could not help but be intrigued by the “Grill Chzzz” section of the menu, where there are several variations on the old-fashioned favorite. The “New School” sandwich has three kinds of cheese and bacon and can be ordered “Danimal-style,” jalapeño-crusted with grilled onions. Then there is the spicy “The Gringo” with ghost pepper jack cheese, avocado, bacon, jalapeño, and salsa.
The simple dining room features a chalkboard wall full of current specials. The chef values creativity as well as fresh, seasonal ingredients, so there is often something new to discover.
Look at these bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers! You can tell how fresh they are even in a photo, just one of the delicious appetizers on the menu which also includes Pulled Pork Sliders, a Cuban Quesadilla, and Fried Pickles.
Even the salads reflect the creative, home-cooked style that permeates every dish that comes from this kitchen. From the loaded Taco Salad to the Buffalo Salad with a kick to the mouthwatering Steak Bleu Cheese salad, you may want to forego the burger or sandwich!
The freshness of the food at this family-run restaurant fits perfectly with the calm, clean atmosphere and crisp mountain backdrop of this friendly community.
