Kind staff, fast service, good food, and nice options: burgers, pizzas, butter chicken, salads, chicken wings… Very practical stop as well! Washrooms are clean. Would recommend 100%!

Amazing place to stop on our road trip! We were so happy with the high quality, homemade food The Grill serves. I got the soup of the day, which was a yummy split pea and ham soup, and the chicken tenders that were real pieces of chicken that they breaded. So yummy!

Great experience! Lots of tasty options like pizzas, salads, and burgers. Naman was super friendly, and the samosas and korean chilli cauliflower bites were huge and delicious!

We stopped in blue river for a night and decided to eat here. The food was amazing, and the service was great. Wanted to give this little place a shout out. One of the best meals on our 10 day trip!

Good experience here this weekend, while on a road trip to Edmonton. Blue River is a small town of about 200 people, so our food options were limited. However, dinner was so good, we came back for a late night snack. Everything was made fresh in house which was really cool. No complaints.

Haven't been here in about a year or more. So much better than last time. Good to see it has been revived. Good food, service and staff works hard to make it so.

Delicious homemade pizza. Onion rings had just enough batter. Fast & friendly service.
