We never understood how the French word that refers to a metal wall or plate with holes that allows air through it (grille) replaced the English word for a place that food that is grilled (grill), but whatever. English is a constantly changing language and restaurants now call themselves grille all the time. Just goes to show that we don't know squat.
Two Guys Grille is named for the two partners that started the venture. They opened a location on College Road in Wilmington to tap into that very eager and hungry market of college students that line up near the UNCW campus. It's also a great location for traffic that is riding to and from I-40. The original local location, at the other side of the drawbridge from WB, is where we have had a chance to try most of the menu.
Faye had the burger, which was really not that special, but it was a good burger by burger standards. My favorite items are the Classic Rueben and any of the great chicken sandwiches. There's also a great selection of seafood sandwiches which is a nice addition to have when you are anywhere near the beach. The fries are real potato--always a good thing. And you should ALWAYS ask for the sweet potato fries. Vegetarians should hook up with the Black Bean Philly; it is exceptional.
Look. What you have to understand about Two Guys is that it is excellent, young people fast food. The decor, which relies on the surfboard theme, is geared toward the young and the young at heart. It's basically a surf diner. It's good. It's not great, but you'll be able to find stuff you like. Give it a try and go from there. It can get a little noisy and irritating around lunch time because of of the din from the crowd noise and kids (Learn to put a leash on your kids, people. It's not your living room and we're trying to eat!), but sitting outside at either location is far more pleasant.
We do not recommend that you get the food to go, because like most food of this type, it will not taste as good once you get home and it's all soggy; it is a diner, after all. Oh. Sorry. It's a grille.
