The Best Burger Joint in Greenville SC?
Who doesn’t love a good burger joint? Unique burgers, great beer, yummy sides, relaxed atmosphere… what’s not to love at
Grill Marks?! Located in the heart of downtown
Greenville, with a patio perfect for people watching, and indoor dining complete with full bar and wide-screen TVs,
Grill Marks
delivers atmosphere and a taste of the unexpected.
Everything at Grill Marks is served a la carte. So, no, fries aren’t included with your burger, but order the fries–worth every penny! All of their sides are a perfect match for a burger, but luckily you don’t have to choose just one! Grill Marks offers a “three way,” a selection of three sides so you can try them all. So, go ahead, order the Blue Cheese and Pimento Fries, Onion Rings, and Fried Pickles… you know you want to!
The Portobello Napoleon was an unlikely addition to their appetizer menu, but offers a lighter, and just as tasty, option! Two thick, grilled Portobello mushrooms are topped with tomatoes, grilled onion, brie cheese, and pesto. If you enjoy a classic wedge salad with no fuss, then I would highly recommend the Marks Wedge. Crisp iceberg lettuce is topped with crunchy bacon, bleu cheese crumbles, diced tomatoes, and finished with a drizzle of blue cheese dressing.
Grill Marks’ burgers are a step above the rest. I thoroughly enjoyed reading through the interesting combinations with many inventive and scrumptious choices. They even have a burger called “The Boneafide” topped with brie, red wine butter, bone marrow, and demi glace. Talk about decadence! Grill Marks also gives customers the option of upgrading their burger to a DeBragga dry aged patty for $3.99 more.
Normally I’m a fan of the classic, no-nonsense burger, but Grill Marks may have changed my ways after trying their “Hawaiian Punch.” This one of a kind burger is topped with applewood smoked bacon, pepper-jack cheese, grilled pineapple, jalapeno pesto, lettuce and tomato. With every bite you get a kick of spice from the cheese and pesto, and then a hint of sweetness from the pineapple. Combine all of those flavors with a toasted, soft bun and you have yourself a true burger experience. You just can’t order a burger without fries, so I indulged in the White Truffle Parmesan Fries. These fries are crispy and topped with a dusting of parmesan cheese and a hint of truffle flavor, served with a side of dijonnaise for your dipping pleasure.
Grill Marks famous milkshakes come in two varieties. The classic shake is spun with house-made Madagascar vanilla ice cream, but if you’re feeling adventurous, go for the “Shaketails” which are milkshakes minus the milk, add liquor! The S’Mores Shaketail is spun up with s’mores vodka, chocolate, graham cracker, and mashmallows. My sweet ending to the meal came in the form of the classic Caramel Espresso milkshake. It was sweet, creamy, and made caramel and espresso an irresistible combo.
Great burgers, inventive toppings, craft beer… and alcoholic milkshakes!? It almost sounds too good to be true. Realize the dream at Grill Marks!
