Hyatt's Grill

The first trip here was on a Monday and the grill wasn't there. There were a few people there that asked where did the grill go which was out there last Friday... much later we found out the grill is only there from Wednesdays to Fridays. There wasn't even a sign out there that said anything so it didn't look promising to go back and see if it is out there again.

Today being Thursday, we walked there which took more than the average walk to lunch. The grill was out there by the hotel almost underneath some shade from the building and there was a sign on the ground saying Hyatt... the special was five dollars for a grilled sandwich, bag of chips, and pop. The choices were grilled Angus burgers, pulled pork, chicken breast, and Italian sausage. No hot dogs though which was smart because there's a hot dog vendor on the opposite corner. Also, it showed this is the only outdoor vendor in the area that will grill pulled pork so that's what we got.

We revised our order... instead of getting the $5 special we each got a pop, bag of pretzels, pulled pork, and an Angus burger for $8 each. The 6 oz. burgers were frozen before the guy put them on the grill so it took a while. That meant we ended up finishing our pulled pork sandwiches before getting our burgers. The condiments were pretty poor for coming from a hotel. They were just the normal packets of mustards and ketchups. There were two people working it... one for the cash and one grilling and they were quite unorganized. The cashier was struggling at giving change in a timely manner and the cook had bad timing on the grill. We over-waited for the burgers and they ended up being overcooked and burnt and almost not edible, but we still ate them.

The sandwiches each were put on a nice little plastic basket. The pulled pork sandwiches had a lot of meat in the them, but it was a bit salty. It seems like they mixed yesterday's meat with today's meat. The music was playing from the hotel outside and there were about ten tables with umbrellas. The smoke from the grill quite frequently blew in our faces while eating as we sat down. The view here was excellent. Main Street from the area we were at was nice, but it wasn't so nice. There are many vacant places along the street that had something and now have nothing in them and should because there were tons of people walking by. This means the hotel knew they were going to make business by putting a grill out there as the only real food attraction which is a disappointment.

By the Hyatt grill, it is a very enjoyable time. Being almost 5 minutes away walking distance means you are ways away from work so you feel more comfortable and not coming from work but at the same time, a slight rush to get back on time. We do recommend the pulled pork, however when we got back we still had the salt taste in our mouths leftover.

Final Rating: 2.5 out of 5
