Nu Grill

A Nu Grill burger NEVER disappoints. They are the inventors of the so-called "smashburger" that now seems to be new and all the rave right now with these newer burger joints in the big cities. Nu Grill has been "smashing" burgers for more than 50 years since I was a kid along with the former Boone & Daubens, Larry's Carryout and Dairy Mug. "Smashburgers" are not a new thing in Fort Scott, but it seems to be in these bigger metropolitan cities. If you're ever in southeast Kansas, it's definitely worth it to swing by and grab you a burger with some Susie Q's and onion rings and a delicious old fashioned vanilla malt! Delish!

Nostalgia is what came to mind when I first saw this spot. It looked smaller from the outside, but the inside has a great big dining area. It appears that at one point they may have added space. The service was good here too. We were seated and we didn't have to wait long. Our waitress was super nice and fortunately she recommended the onion rings, which are home made, and myself can't recommend them enough.My husband and I had the double cheeseburger and it was surprisingly out of this world good. It was a bit on the greesy side, but still what I imagined would have been the typical diner cheeseburger back in the day.

Great food and service. They broast their chicken, which is really good. Pressure fried chicken is the way KFC used to do their fried chicken back in the day. This place rocks!! Don't miss it!Great burgers and fries and onion rings too.

We always look for local diners when we are traveling. NU Grill fit the bill. They were full at lunch time which is always a good sign. We got a double cheeseburger with SuziQs and broasted chicken dinner with fries. Fries and Qs are fresh cut. Food was really good, exactly what I would expect from a small diner. Reminiscent of the diner in my hometown as a kid.

My husband and I had dinner at Nu Grill. I ordered a cheeseburger and Susie Qs my husband had the broasted chicken with mashed potatoes with gravy & a salad. The burger was just ok, not that great, I was hoping for a really good burger, it wasn't bad just average at best. The Susie's were a disappointment, the were just little pieces and were just barely warm. They were completely cold before I finished eating. I must have gotten the bottom of the fry basket, not very good at all. I had to use a spoon to eat them. My husband said the chicken was pretty good. We had good service and it's a neat old place. If we decide to give it another try I'll try the chicken also.

I was visiting friends in town, basically this is the local "watering hole". We ate here for breakfast, and dinner a few times. Oddly enough, not for lunch. The dining area is ample enough for the demand. The service there is consistently friendly, fast, and accurate. I have ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs, and club sandwich, but really can't wrong with any menu item. If you're rolling through town off of Hwy 54, I would encourage to stop by for a bite.

This is the kind of burger I search for. Seared well with outstanding cheese on a great bun-perfect. Side of tater tots and onion rings were also very good. Place takes you back in time and everyone inside very friendly. We got there 15 minutes before lunch started and they took our order early and our food was served literally like 11:05. Great service and friendly waitress.

We were super excited to try this place on our way to visit our daughter. Our experience was very disappointing and not at all like the reviews we read. The service was unwelcoming to say the least. Our server was more interested in gossiping at the drink station & being on her phone than being at work. We thought the food would be great even if the service was terrible. We were very wrong about that. Nothing we ordered tasted fresh or made to order. Greasy and tasteless. I would definitely suggest trying something else in Fort Scott.

Nice interior Nice serviceHas the chicken No flavor Crust had no flavor Chicken was tough I'm sure the other items are fine others meals looked quite good I just wouldn't order the breasted chicken

Every now and then we come across a real gem. Decided to stop in at the Nu Grill. While I try to eat local whenever I can, this is one diner that I will plan to eat at again on my next trip to Kansas City. Stopped in during the slow part of the afternoon.Food - ordered a cheese burger plate, no bun, with the fried zucchini. Straight forward and very good.Got to talking to one of the managers and that's where small town America shines through. He bought an ad for the local high school yearbook - and made the kids go through their spiel to practice it. Took care of another employee, because it was the right thing to do. They even refroze a freezer pack that I let thaw, a very kind gesture.Have been eating in KCMO all week, and paying downtown prices. I left a twenty, which more than covered the meal with a generous tip. $20 might not get me much more than a St*rbucks and a roll in most cities anymore.Spent well over an hour here, and the food is good, the service is good, the ambiance is good - but I will eat here a hundred times before I spend another hundred for an OK meal in KCMO.Stop in - it's a diner, not a tourist trap, and the people and food are genuine and honest. Not that all diners are great just by being in a small town, but Nu Grill is one that has earned its high mark.
