We discovered Grinder’s this year, and have eaten here six times in 2025. Our favorite pizza joint used to be Old Shawnee Pizza, but we noticed their service started becoming more rude and inattentive, and their floors were filthy. I personally prefer OSP pizza (more St. Louis style) a bit more than Grinder’s, by my wife likes Grinder’s better (which is more like NY style).
Without a doubt, Grinders service and cleanliness is much better than that of OSP, and you can’t beat the outside eating area. It’s a very cool building. Out of the six times we have been to Grinder’s, the service has usually been good; however, a time or two, servers sometimes seemed to forget something we asked for, or not notice when we were ready to order.

Had a mid week lunch. It was not very busy. Cool place in a cottage looking house sitting on a good size lot without outdoor games and some interesting art decor. Inside is equally unique. You can tell the owner is a very unique person. I had the Grinders Famous South Philly, but went with chicken over steak. Sandwich is stuffed with mushrooms, peppers, onions, cheese, and jalapeños. It also came with choice of chips or tots. Philly was very solid. It’s not at the lever of a true Philly cheesecake from the NE, but still very good. Tots were just like any other tots. Waitress recommended to get Cajun seasoning on it. I couldn’t tell much difference. Overall, this is a cool funky spot with solid food and service. It looked like the bar scene was pretty good as well, although I didn’t partake in this visit.

Pros:
(1) More indoor seating than pictures seemed to show
(2) Well decorated interior
(3) Fairly good prices and portion size
(4) Bacon was very well cooked
Cons:
(1) Noisy interior (needs more sound absorption
(2) Slightly too much ricotta in the calazone – lumps were slightly cold and it overall made the calzone sort of quiche-like, which I found weird and not bad but different
(3) Possibly the bacon is too sweet and overpowers the other flavors. But this one is sort of borderline and it is good bacon overall
Info:
(1) The Italian sausage and the garlic on the pizza were really all that noticeable, so you could leave them off

Great Service…pizza arrived fast and piping hot. Had the KC BBQ pizza with pineapple, ham, red onions, bbq sauce. The potato barrels as an appetizer were good too.

If you loved the location in the crossroads district your going to love this just as much. Its a combo of both sides at this one location. Very nice little play ground and outdoor patio and just like the one downtown great atmosphere.

Nice place for a lunch on the patio or inside at the bar. Several good food choices. Will stick with the pizza options next time. Wife had the Calzone. I chose the burger, just ok. Variety of beers on tap. Great choices for cocktails.

My first time here and I am blown away!!! What a cute and welcoming place. This was only made better by my servers/bartenders Caitlin, and Basha. They were so funny and helpful and attentive. They gave me recommendations and made me giggle the entire time. I usually am greeted with servers that are unkind to me due to them judging me the moment I walk in, but they were so lovely to me. The food was amazing!! I got Mommy’s pastrami and it was DELICIOUS! I had a happy plate and a happy day. Thanks again!!

Down right delicious BLT with a wide selection of specials, drinks, food, and seating. Even with a massive party that arrived soon before me, the staff was great and the kitchen was buuuusy. Keep it up!

I love a good Philly so I decided to give it a try. Pretty good sandwich but not the best I’ve ever had. My wife got the Supreme Pizza. It was decent but my daughter’s NY style was the best thing out of all 3. We did get the cheesy bread for an appetizer and it was very good. Overall I would definitely come back. Our server was home from college and she was awesome.
