Great Lakes Grinders

This place never misses! This is some of the best sandwich bread I have ever had. They season their grinders perfectly, and their menu combinations are great. My favorite is the West Coast Turkey, but you can't go wrong with any of them. Great vegetarian options too! If the side of the day is the potato salad, definitely go for that. It's an extra bonus if you have good weather where you can sit in the pavilion with a nice view of the marina and Cedar Point!

FIVE STARS! Excellent food and friendly people. We loved the outdoor vibe and being near the water. Cannot wait to come visit this place again.

Really good sandwiches and a lovely space to sit outside (with your dog) and enjoy it. Probably would have gone with the chips instead of the pasta salad. The roast beef and Turkey were delish. The bread is definitely the star of the show here. Don't forget to ask for a pickle. They have nice bathrooms too!Oh and the service is awesome. Very nice people.

THIS IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE SANDWICH SHOP. SOME SAY:The name GRINDER is a term that describes the Italian-American dockworkers of East Coast ports in the early 1900's.These "GRINDERS" would aggressively sand and grind rusty hulls of war ships and cargo freighters to a first-class American finish.Each day at lunch they could be found eating a unique sandwich. Something good enough to have every day. The only sandwich that was hearty enough to keep up with their signature work ethic.A sandwich, so substantial, that it took a GRINDER'S work-ethic to finish.Today the only thing better than the sandwich is the view so come and enjoy both. You'll not be disappointed.

I got to Great Lakes Grinders just before a flood of people came from all over the place to grab their dinner. Was greeted by the owner who made several menu suggestions. He said most people choose number seven the turkey avocado, but he had others that he recommended. I like that honesty and personal touch. The service was astonishingly fast. There are many places to sit including a picnic area with a roof and 5-7 picnic tables out in the sun. The views, the food, the friendly speedy service - all amazing and I can see why people flock here. I have to agree with what many people say onYelp: the highlight of my sub was the bread. I'm pretty sure anything on the bread would taste delicious. So go with your gut, or take the owner's recommendations. Enjoy your experience here.

The food was delicious. Everything seemed fresh. It was nice to sit and eat it right there on the waterfront with views of CP. I will go back when I'm in the area again.

Great food service and ambience I am a regular customer. I like most sandwiches.I would recommend it to anyone.

I tried the Italian Grinder for lunch today, and boy oh boy was it delicious! My mom got the Turkey Grinder and loved it as well. They have a great website for easy online ordering to bypass having to wait. We took the sandwiches home, but they have a lot of outdoor seating available. We also got sides of potato and pasta salad. The potato salad was incredible, I wasn't a huge fan of the dressing on the pasta salad but my mom really enjoyed it. Don't forget to add a pack of cookies to your order too! I will definitely be back.

This place sits in a park and is very much a to go establishment. It sits within view of the lake. The customer service was good. The sub was decent. Fresh bread and ingredients. I was thrown by the thick shreds of cheese unmelted and wished there was a toasted option. With that exception the sandwich was good!

Great spot. Good sandwiches. But severely overpriced. $11 for a very small 6-7 ounce veggie sandwich with nothing else. You'd think for $11 you'd at least get fresh herbs on it instead of a crunchy dry herb mix.
