Reviews for Grease Monkey Burger Shop in Arlington, TX

It was a very busy night despite the fact that it was a Tuesday. Since it was packed the atmosphere was pretty hyper. The place... lives up to its name of being a social club because everyone was socializing and chatting. Despite how crowded and busy itwas, no one was being belligerent so that was cool. They have several areas to sit both indoors and outdoors including adecently sized gazebo and an outdoor half of the bar. I first came here in 2018, but my family and I weren't a fan of the foodthat we ordered. My burger was kind of soggy and the fried breaded onions were just not tasting how I thought theywould. Tonight (Nov 8th of 2022) when I initially sat at the bar to order, the bartenders ignored me for a while, but maybethey are just too busy. I tried to order a Cranberry Summer, because I had looked it up on their drink menu under their Googlemaps page, but the bartender said he had never heard of that drink, so the online drink menu needs updating. It was just kind ofa weird start to my experience. I ordered a Cobb salad without croutons to keep things gluten free and it was pretty large forthe price, tasted standard, and it came in a timely manner, so I'm pretty satisfied with that. I also had a Strawberry Breezefor my drink in lieu of the drink I mentioned above, and that was decent, though drink wasn't the best, it was still a stepabove what you would get when comparing it to the average drink from a chain restaurant. It was OK, but I really don't see areason to come back here over other more interesting bars that are more intimate and less crowded. This place just isn't my cupof tea, but it certainly is for many people and that's great. Read more

It was okay. Clean and fun atmosphere. The nachos ended up being tostadas. Not that appealing to me. I had the chicken fried... bacon burger. It was alright. My coworkers liked their salad and angry burger. Next time I'll try something else. If it's betternext time I'll review again. Read more

Pretty good food, looks to be made to order. Presents a good enough different taste to see if you want to put it on your burger... stop rotation. Highly recommend the fried pickle and jalapeño appetizer combo! Read more

Since I live around the corner from here, I was hoping they’d really knock it out of the park. The place gets super busy so I... ended up getting takeout and eating at the much calmer beer place next door while enjoying a beer flight. The burger is prettygood and a generous portion. They have gluten free buns which are soft. The downside, the tater tots were a bit soggy, themedium rare burger was well done. I’d give them another try. Read more

The fam was craving burgers after an event so we headed over to Grease Monkeys - our first time there! We were greeted with... themed decor the moment we walked in. Menus on car hoods hanging overhead the cashier and open cooking area. Ordering processwas easy and straightforward. I opted for the build your own and the hubby ordered one of the chicken fried bacon burgers. Theothers ordered kids meal items and various burgers. We grabbed the Salvage Yard basket for the table which consisted of theonion rings, fries and sweet potatoes fries. They carry bottled root beer - yum! There are drink stations and condimentstations so that you don’t need to go back up to the cashier for needs after ordering. Our order was made promptly and theburgers were juicy and tasty! Enjoyed the fries and the onion rings. These are large burgers! I didn’t realize it would be somuch food, but that’s ok! Half to enjoy today as leftovers! Bathrooms could have been a little cleaner for myliking. There’s a bar inside and various tv’s for watching sports. On cooler spring or fall days, the window side of thebuilding rolls up to allow open air flow. Overall, a tasty burger. We will come back again. Read more

I had the 1/2 pound burger with jalepeno, bacon, and cheddar cheese. This did not disappoint the bun had a sweet taste and the... meat was juicy and full of Flavor. Will definitely eat again Read more

Our first restaurant choice had a line which extended around the building so we decided to try Grease Monkey. The wait time to... order was minimal, the cashier was very friendly, there was a good variety of menu offerings, we decided to build our ownburgers which were seasoned and cooked to perfection. They were de-licious! The sweet potato and regular fries.. not so much. They were cold and had very little taste. The burger bun offered too much bread for my liking. Choosing to remove the bottom ofthe bun and eat my burger like a pizza resolved the too much bread issue. It was the perfect day to dine on the patio (which wedid). All was going well until we noticed a stray cat on the patio. If cats are your thing, you’ll love this place. This wasvery disappointing because the outdoor sports bar atmosphere was absolutely perfect UNTIL…the cat. Will I return? Maybe butpatio dining will not be an option until the stray cat has found another home. Almost another clean plate???? Read more

Tried this location for the first time. It will also be the last time. The place wasn't all that busy and there was no line to... order, when we arrived. I ordered a Chicken Fried Bacon burger. There was only a small amount of bacon on top, hidden under thecheese. My girlfriend ordered the Cheese Fries. There was very little cheese on it and what was there looked very old and dried.The fries themselves had very little in the way of flavor. This place seems like they want to have gourmet burgers, but they aremissing the mark. The quality just isn't there. The place was very loud and I was almost yelling to speak with my girlfriend.There was even a lady walking around with no shoes or socks...barefooted in a restaurant. Not good at all. She even went to therest room and you know those floors are never that clean. Germs man...germs. Pass on this place until they do better by thecustomers. Read more
