Alameda Grill is next to Alameda Bicycle. It is a small shop with outside tables. We visited on September 8, 2012 and we had:
- Make your own Burger – This was really good (four out of five stars), but messy. Linnea’s (G&V’s cousin) burger dripped on her pants. She ordered sautéed mushrooms and avocado on top, so it tended to fall apart. She said, “don’t go here on a first date.”
- Korean BBQ Chicken Plate – Greta said it was very delicious. She gives it five stars out of five stars because it was juicy and she liked the texture. She liked the rice the best. Vera gave it seven stars out of five stars. She liked the chicken the best. There were sautéed onions on top (which the girls took off) and a green lettuce salad on the side.
- Salmon Burger – Greta said that the salmon burger was very delicious and filling, but slightly cool (she would have liked it a bit warmer). Vera liked the salmon. It was her favorite part of the burger. We also had onion rings and fries (which were okay).
We would recommend Alameda Grill as a good, casual take-out place (since there’s not much seating). It looks like it is popular among the bicycle crowd.
Compost report: Alameda Grill did not have compost, but they did have recycling. We looked at their small trash area and they had two gray carts for trash and one blue cart for recycling. So, if they traded a gray cart for the green cart, they would be able to compost! All of the wrappers and napkins are compostable at Alameda Grill. If you order “for here” they give you a reusable basket. If they had composting, the only thing to throw away would be the forks and knives. We asked them if they were interested in composting, but the servers didn’t know. So, we gave them our new Miss Alameda Says “Compost!” brochure and asked them to give it to their manager. We think it would be really easy for them to compost and save money on their trash bill.
Next time you are at Alameda Grill, try the rice plate and ask them if they compost!
