DJ’s Super Honest Food Review: Island Grinds
Who's in the mood for some TRADITIONAL HAWAIIAN CUISINE?
It's time for Island Grinds. They're located at 1973 W Sunset Blvd in St. George next to Little Caesars, near the Albertson's grocery store!
THE VIBES:
Walking inside, the restaurant was clean and simple with island music playing back in the kitchen. My friend and I got there at around 6:15 and there was hardly ANYBODY inside the restaurant. No wait to order!
You order at the front, find a table, and when your food is ready they'll shout out your name. It's a very chill, laid back environment!
THE ORDER:
Both, Brayden and myself ordered the same meal: Teriyaki Beef-Regular Plate. The meal includes teriyaki beef, two scoops of white rice, and a scoop of macaroni salad, with a couple little containers of teriyaki sauce.
Brayden doesn't like the macaroni salad, so he gets 3 scoops of white rice.
I LOVE the macaroni salad, so I order an extra side of it!
I like to drench my teriyaki beef in MORE teriyaki sauce, and I smother both scoops of rice in the teriyaki sauce.
THE REVIEW:
DJ: The teriyaki beef was tender, and full of flavor. I like it best with lots of teriyaki sauce dripping off it (It's a very thin, runny teriyaki sauce). It's the star of the meal, but the white rice is AWESOME with the sauce on it. Without the sauce, it's a little dry and would be hard to swallow. The Macaroni salad is SO GOOD, and again... Tastes a little better with Teriyaki sauce! 8/10
Brayden: I'm not a fan of their Mac Salad, so I went with 3 scoops of rice instead of 2 with Mac Salad. The beef was good and flavorful, but had some fat. Rice was good, but rice is rice. Hard to mess up. 8/10.
Likelihood of going back:
DJ: I think this is the BEST Hawaiian food in Southern Utah. Better than Honolulu Grill, and Mo Bettah's. The Mac Salad doesn't have big hunks of carrots in it. 10/10.
Brayden: I don't think it's better than Mo Bettah's or Honolulu Grill. 7/10.
What do you think? Is it the best Hawaiian Food in Southern Utah?
