The store is relatively small, so the retail selection lacks depth.

I had the kielbasa with bread and sauerkraut, as well as an order of potato pierogi. I also tried the mini mushroom and mini beef dumplings (like tiny pierogi). The sausage was very good, but the bread and cumin-laced sauekraut made the dish. The pierogi are fried, but not overly greasy. One order is very filling. I recommend sharing and trying some other items.
Friendly service, comfortable space, recommended.
The marinated short ribs and jigae (soup) arrived shortly thereafter. I like silken tofu in jigae, but this had run of the mill soft tofu. The broth was good and spicy. The galbi were slightly tough, but not too bad. The cuts were much thicker than I'm used to eating.
Washed it all down with a crisp Hite beer. Friendly staff. Recommended.

Grindhouse Killer Burgers
Category:
Burgers
Neighborhood: Downtown
Still not a bad burger, but every burger at Grindhouse that I've had has been slightly different than the last. If they can lock in the consistency on the quality of my last burger, I'll be there all the damn time. Fries were good. Onion rings were also improved from the early days of the onion straws, but the batter still isn't my favorite.

Quick thoughts:
The burger is slightly greasy, served on a wonderfully soft bun, with all the requisite toppings, plus free Grindhouse sauce if you so desire. A single will do you right, so I imagine a double burger will give even the hungriest of eaters their fill. The meat itself is a bit soft, almost wet. My first thought is that I would like more seasoning in the beef mix, but upon further intense burger reflection I think I would like a little more of a flavorful and seasoned fat crust on the exterior of the meat to add some flavor and provide contrast against the soft beef.
I did enjoy the sides a bit more than my dining cohort, but I'm a sucker for hot crinkle-cut fries and the onions rings (more like straws) weren't greasy and had a lots of salty and peppery flavor in the exterior, though I will agree that this style of onion ring is more of a crunchy batter conduit than an onion.
Grindhouse makes a very satisfying burger, at a fair price, in a location I very much liked. As the guy sitting next to me who stumbled upon Grindhouse for lunch said, "I might just have to do that again."
Steak is also imported, though not from Philly. Delicious to the last bite, I enjoyed a full sandwich with an Iron City beer.
No one else was in there the whole time I was there on a Wed night, which is too bad.
3.5 stars.

I sat at the bar and had the crispy duck confit. Good, not perfect, maybe a bit dry, and I'm not a huge fan of the sweet potato pairing, but it was definitely delicious. Also, it's a half duck - a very large portion. Just that entree, no app, was enough to fill me up.
Everyone was super nice to me - bartender, chef, wait staff, even the valet. When I'm traveling alone on business, that is something that really plays into my experience. Hell, I have no else to talk to at the bar by myself. :)
Can't wait to go back and try the house made charcuterie....maybe tonight...

Ordered the ma po tofu, which isn't on the lunch menu, but I read that they specialized in Sichuan cuisine. Asked for ma la "hot and numbing", a signature style in that region of China which makes use of the fragrant (and numbing) sichuan peppercorn. The dish had slight heat by no sichuan peppercorn. Other than that, good. Clean place, nice servers. Recommended.
