Not sure exactly how long this place has been called Emerson's on the Grill, but the building was a restaurant back when I lived in "The Clem" during the early 2000's & I never thought to give it a second look then. I have to say, I'm SO glad I read about it online a few months ago, because it's definitely a hidden gem of a restaurant! They serve breakfast, lunch & a few dinner items, but they're only open until 3pm. It's not much to look at from the outside, which is deceiving, but inside is a clean & tidy little dining establishment. Their menu isn't huge, which isn't a deal breaker, because honestly, I'd rather see a smaller menu knowing the food is fresh as opposed to a ginormous menu with all sorts of options, now knowing how often the turn over is. My friend & I each had salads, which were HUGE & absolutely fantastic! Everything was prepped to order & presented nicely. I had the Maurice salad, which included four tiny sweet gherkins (YUM!), a hard boiled egg, TONS of delicious julienned swiss, ham & turkey on a bed of shredded iceberg lettuce with TWO containers of delicious homemade Maurice salad dressing. My friend had their crispy chicken salad, which they accomodated her request of replacing the crispy chicken with grilled chicken that was tender, along with a fresh greens blend, tomatoes & cucumbers all with a homemade Ranch dressing. As far as prices, extremely reasonably priced for what you get. I also had a cup of their piping hot chicken noodle soup (I forgot to ask if it was homemade, but it sure tasted like it was!) which was delicious. Our server was very friendly & professional also. I heard they're known for their breakfast.......can't wait to try that option out next!

This place has been here for over a decade. I've only come to learn of it recently but my boyfriend and his two adult twin sons have been coming here since the beginning. It's straight up a mom and pop grill where the owners and kids know you and your family. They have great family stories, so down to earth and your drink is always refilled in a hurry! Their cabbage soup is as good as mine and that's saying something! Lol... if you want some damn good breakfast and a cup of Joe, this is it!

The Jambalaya is EXTREMELY AMAZING. I COULD EAT THIS EVERY DAY. And it's affordable! Great portion sizes! One thing is I Know for a fact is, I would never dine In due to the ambiance. It's full of old heads lol...like I traveled back to the 1950's.The service was fast and my food was piping hot! Perfectly seasoned and the garlic bread was soft and bold with flavor! Definitely try this place to go, cause I definitely recommend it!

Service was great! The waitresses were very kind and treated us like family. Food was much better than expected, I had the breakfast sandwich with bacon and it was so good! The hash browns as well were cooked to perfection. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for somewhere quick to eat!

Great food. But out the door, two of us. Eggs meat toast and two coffees for $32? Rip off. Won't go back. Can get better deals on the exact same breakfast elsewhere.

The most delicious dump you'll ever eat at. I'm completely addicted. The food, the coffee and the service all betray a fantastic dining experience which wonderfully contrasts with the old-fashioned diner ambience. This place feels like a warm hug. The owner and his employees treat us like family. I've recommended Emersons more times than I can count. A++ and keep up the amazing work!
