How did a small Montrose burger and breakfast stand turn into a spot with weekend lines and loyal regulars?
Curbgrill started as a family-run curbside stand and grew into a brick-and-mortar restaurant on Honolulu Ave that locals treat like their neighborhood hangout.
People keep coming back for big flavor, generous portions, and warm, family-style service.
How Curbgrill Won Locals’ Hearts
Curbgrill began on the curb, serving hearty breakfast burritos and burgers to hungry Montrose locals. The idea was simple: comfort food cooked with care.
Burritos, bowls, and burgers quickly turned into favorite orders. Huge breakfast burritos are stuffed with eggs, meat, hash browns, and cheese.
The smash burgers have crispy edges and juicy centers that turn first-time visitors into repeat customers.
Guests also enjoy cheesesteaks, croissant sandwiches, and bowls.
The menu stays focused on a tight lineup of well-executed comfort classics. Diners feel they get strong value because the portions are generous and the prices are fair.
What people talk about most is the service. Staff are friendly, attentive, and quick to make things right.
Stories about extra steak added to shared burritos, free bottled water, and patient handling of picky eaters spread quickly through the neighborhood.
The space is casual, clean, and easy to relax in. Indoor seating offers a cozy spot to sit, while outdoor tables make it easy to enjoy the Montrose air.
Hikers, families, and nearby workers all find it convenient to stop in. Over time, Curbgrill has turned into a true community hangout, not just a place to grab a quick bite.
