Service was friendly, our server went above and beyond to emsure that we had the best experience. The food was amazing. I don't like liver, was never able to choke it down no matter how it was prepared and not only was I able to eat it, I actually LOVED IT!! The clam chowder is also amazing! Tight thickness and full of flavour. Our kiddo ordered the Mac n cheese, it was perfect and so so good! The prime rib burger was tasty and juicy. All and all, one of the best place to eat in St Albert! Hidden gem that needs to be known !!

We have had dinner here on many occasions and the food is Amazing!! You can tell it’s a small business run by the owners as the food is incredible. Tonight I had the butter chicken and again was Amazing!!!! We all had different main courses and everyone stated their meals came out hot, tasty and a good size portion. St Albert is lucky to have this Hot grill as we come from the city just to eat there. As we said so many times in past, we will be back again soon! Thank you hot grill as you never disappoint.

Just visiting and found this little gem of a restaurant!! Our food was fresh and very tasty, not to mention how beautiful it looked when it arrived to the table. Even the kids chicken burger was incredible! The entire experience was elevated with our kind server, Kerry, as well - one of the partners came out of the kitchen to check in with each table while we were there to see how our meals were. I have not experienced this type of service that went way over and above in my memory, and I didn’t want to let it go without the praise it deserves. Also just ordered dinner for tonight too 😅

First time at the Hot Grill and definitely won't be our last. I couldn't decide between 4 dishes and our server was helpful in helping make my decision. Ended up going with the Sri Lankin Curry pot. So good.

First time trying this restaurant. Had the Chilli Beef bowl. It was excellent. This place has a great selection of gluten friendly meals as they have gluten-free penne for pasta and gluten-free bread and buns for the sandwiches. Their burgers are made without wheat, and they actually have a few dedicated gluten-free meals where even the sauces are made with no gluten. Friendly service and a very clean restaurant top off the experience. I will definitely come back and recommend it to others.

The Sri Lanka Curry Pot is the best meal I have ever had! The service is excellent. Dont pass up this little gem of a restaurant. And if curry is not your thing, there are plenty of more conventional items on the menu. The Thai noodle salad and ginger beef are also delicious. Highly recommended.

The Prime Rib Burger is by far one of the best burgers I have ever eaten in my whole life. Juicy, fresh, and generously sized. The kitchen was very accommodating and even added an egg on top of my burger. To once again restate it, it was one of the best burgers I have ever eaten!!!!

My daughters (11 & 8) stopped in for dinner. The Sambuca Rose Penne was super tasty and unique. The Alfredo pasta from the kids menu was also a hit. The lovely chef came by the tables to ask if the food was alright. He was very nice and friendly, as was our server. Excellent atmosphere as well (we enjoyed the retro and new game shows they were showing on tv).

Best food in St. Albert , great service, classy touch that the chef comes to your table to ask how your meal was.. presentation is great But unfortunately I likely wont go back because of the multiple tvs blaring and music also competing with the tvs. Sensory overload in such a small space. This used to be a nice classy little place to go before the tvs were installed.They take away from having a nice dining experience. Its to bad. But if the sports bar feel doesnt bother you Im sure you will enjoy everything about the Hot grill.

Four former work colleagues went for lunch today at the Hot Grill. For three of us, it was a new destination. The service was excellent. An exceptionally pleasant young lady engaged us in conversation and took our orders. We all truly enjoyed our choices and the portions were so generous that we all took some home. Ingredients were very fresh and the menu was amazing in its choices. The chef/owner came out and personally assured that we had enjoyed our lunches. We all said we would definitely be returning! Parking: Lots of free and accessible parking.

December 23, 2023

The service was good - thanks Bree. The food - meh. We aren t fussy eaters but this definitely did not live up to the five star reviews we have seen. Perhaps it was just an off day for the cook? My hubby had the curry dish with shrimp. It was just ok. I had the sambuca pasta. It was so sweet it was difficult to eat. In hindsight I should ve returned it so that on me. Not sure if that s the typical way it is served but not a recommend. We each had a glass of wine. Total with a tip was $86. We have had much better food for the price and atmosphere. I hope this isn t the norm and it was a one off because we love to support local. I can t see us returning enough.

I wish I could give 10 stars to this place! We dropped by The Hot Grill for some lunch while in St. Albert, ordering the Hot Grill Club House with the green salad side, and the Chipotle Onion Rings Burger with sweet potato fries. Along with some coffees too. Emily, who served us, was super friendly, super nice and gave us the perfect customer service. The food was absolutely delicious! it arrived in good time, hot and fresh. I can honestly say it was one of the best sandwiches Ive ever had! It was also nice to meet one of the chefs, who came out to say hello. I know well be back in the area and will certainly be heading back to The Hot Grill to try some of their other options on the menu! Thanks for a lovely lunch experience, well see you soon

One of the best dining experiences we have had in St. Albert. From the moment we arrived, right to the assistance as we walked out the door, the service was top notch. We all ordered a different dish (curry chicken, ginger beef and stir fry) and it was unanimous that not only was the presentation 5 star quality, but so were our dinners. The flavours were perfect and everything cooked to perfection which made for an unbeatable dining experience. Many thanks to Kushan for all his kind attention and special thanks to the Chef and kitchen staff. We will definitely return as soon as possible.

We have eaten at the Hot Grill over half a dozen times now. The food is exceptional and always consistently good. The presentation alone deserves 10 stars! The Sri Lankan curry pot dish is authentic and flavourful but they also have a variety of other dishes to accommodate everyone s taste. The ingredients are fresh and of good quality. Even the desserts were so tasty. My sister had been there for breakfast and had the veggie omelette. She said it was the best omelette she has ever had. St. Albert is very lucky to have a restaurant that serves food of this calibre for such a reasonable price. You can tell the chef genuinely cares about the food he is preparing. It has quickly become our favourite restaurant in St. Albert!

I love this place .. everything on the menu is done to perfection, the price is right and the staff is fabulous highly recommend. Update* I have to say that the quality has really gone down hill since they first opened, we kept coming back thinking it was an isolated incident but it s not . Something has happened pretty much every time we eat here now. Don t get me wrong, there are a few dishes they do well consistently. These are some of our bad experiences. 1. Tiramisu with a rock hard cookie inside ( it hasn t been soaked to soften it) very rushed like they didn t have it ready and threw it together. Out of the 4 times we ordered it 3 times it was rock hard. 2. Tough, venous, tendon filled steak, on almost every time it was ordered, you can t chew it at all & it s hideous looking with the giant arteries everywhere. Poor quality and old cow. 3. The fries were the best at one time, now they are often twice fried & not fresh. If you want a great burger they do that well, if you don t end up with twice fried fries .. they re good too. I hate that the quality has gone down and we kept giving this place a chance because of the times where we loved our meals. More than anything I hope the owners take note. It s hard to compete in the restaurant business and I m not the only customer that s noticed the decline in quality. I ve lowered my rating to a 3 star now, to reflect the lower standards and quality. The owner reached out to me and I did return to see if they improved the quality., the food we ordered was good, .. ginger beef bowl, pork chops, and of course the hamburger. We are yet to try anything else, I adjusted the rating to a four

We wanted something different from the usual chain breakfast restaurants so we had breakfast here and did not leave disappointed! The server was lovely, the menu had a great variety for breakfast selection, the food was hot and there was a lot of it! It was delicious! My husband kept saying great choice, we have to come back here!. Cant wait to go back and try the lunch and dinner selection. Fantastic!

Called in my order for pickup. The girl said it would be ready in 20-25 minutes. When I arrived she told me she accidentally forgot to give my order to the kitchen. Very unprofessional, I definitely wont be back.

Ate here a few days ago, but Forgot to leave a review. This establishment deserves its credible reviews. Delicious food, prepared with care. Prices are fair, as (considering the portions) most items were under $20. The owner introduced himself whilst I was picking up my order. He and the staff were polite and Friendly. They also provide a special of the day (happened to be lasagna that day, a party ordered some, and wow did it ever look good, I was eyeing that dish up and down ). You tell me where you can go to get a premium lasagna meal for $15. Last but not least : The presentation... icing on the cake !! Bravo !!

Both the food and service here are nothing short of spectacular. Delicious dishes, enough variety for those who want to experience some exquisite Sri Lankan, Indian or Asian flare, or those who want more classic (i.e burgers). The Sri Lankan dish was exceptionally yummy! Wonderful people and and a great dining experience.

I ate here the other day with my boss and coworker for lunch and the food was phenomenal. I had the lunch special which was fish and chips -which was delicious and fairly priced. The chef came out after our meal and asked how everything was and I commend him for doing so. It shows that they care about the service and food being provided to the customers. I have already recommended this place twice and will for sure be back!

Ive only been to this restaurant once so far and oh man am I impressed. The restaurant has a nice cozy feel and nice charm to it. The food is delicious and hot when served. One of if not the best club sandwich Ive ever had. Everything combined perfectly. Now it isnt a review if there wasnt any negatives. The only negative I believe is that maybe having a non alcoholic list but thats only because of my brother being under 18... Anyway thats really is minor.

First timer! Just went today for a late lunch and was very impressed. This place hits on all points! Staff was friendly and prompt, food and drinks were delicious, the restaurant is clean, well designed, lots of natural light. They have a little patio too which is great! (We ordered the clubhouse sandwich and chipotle onion ring burger by the way) One of the partners came to talk with us mid-meal to see how everything was, which we appreciated. All in all, The Hot Grill is a hidden gem and more people need to know about it. Highly recommend checking it out!

The chef came out to ask us how we were enjoying our meal & felt that added a nice touch to our visit. The booth we sat in was comfortable, the dining area is so bright & welcoming. The A/C was wonderful that day too as we went on an almost 30+ day but stepping inside was like a cool oasis. Definitely intend on going back sometime :)

This is one of St.Alberts best kept secret. However it is getting busier, if you have a larger party make reservations. The owner/chef is an amazing cook along with his sous chef is also amazing.

Have always enjoyed the takeout we have picked up from here, however today (Friday) we decided to order via Skip after a long day. I called the restaurant after it had been some time without the order being confirmed to see if there was an issue with the order. The server I spoke with advised the following: - I wouldnt be the person to ask about that - No, were not on Skip at all - Yes, we are on Skip but not on weekends - No, only on Uber Eats - I dont know. You can order for pickup if you want Quite disappointed as once the order was processed and waiting for confirmation, our refund was in Skip credits which meant we had to order elsewhere. I feel the restaurant should remove themselves from delivery apps if there is no intention of fulfilling orders.

The Hot Grill is the Cats meow, Bees Knees, the Cats Pajamas, it is a delightfully simple yet elegant place to eat. The food is to die for. Delicious with every bite, filling and at an amazing price. The Keg was my favorite place to eat until I discovered this wonderful restaurant. The size of a Cafe but with the chefs of a five star restaurant. Whether its for a small lunch or a large dinner they are spot on every time. I have yet to be disappointed in any way. The serving staff is quick, friendly, talkative and deserve every tip they get. As a picky eater its hard to find a place that gets my return business and I keep going back over and over and over again. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant!!!
