Once again this is a collaborative post including both writers. This first portion is written by myself, Maggie.
One of the many things I adore about Luna Grill is the fresh made variety of dipping options. It’s part of the fun to dip each bite of my chicken, pita or vegetable into a different sauce.
The garlic sauce was a pleasant surprise of well balanced garlic creaminess. The spicy feta paired well with the chicken and vegetables. The hummus just goes with everything I think.
Everyone that works here is very helpful, pleasant and friendly. I’m looking forward to many more lunch visits!

I went to high school across the street. The food choices weren’t that good back then. I remember a Sizzler in this spot. I visited it once but it wasn’t good enough to visit a 2nd time. I wasn’t surprised it closed.
Luna Grill looks new and shiny.
Fries had a nice crunch and delicious fried flavor. I really appreciate the lack of an aftertaste. Manager told me they used sunflower oil to fry. I’m gonna have to give it a try. Pita was served warm. Fluffy with delicious flavor a bit like a flour tortilla. I enjoy eating these plain. Flat cut chicken kabob was tender, juicy, and well marinated in Mediterranean spices. Flavor was bold.
Game hen on the bone was prepared the same way as the chicken. I liked the game hen flavor a bit more than the milder chicken flavor. Hen was tender and juicy.
Mandarin Lime Blue Sky soda tasted a bit like 7Up without the lemon component. I like it a lot. Orange Mango was a close second.
Service was speedy and the employees were nice. I have a feeling Luna Grill is going to last longer than The Sizzler did. We were invited to try the new flat cut chicken dish by Luna Grill. I came back to try the Game Hen dish on my own dime.

I thought Sizzler was in the building that is now iHop? The Luna Grill/Starbucks building is new construction. Anyway, I enjoy the food at Luna Grill, although I haven’t been to the Mira Mesa location.
We’ve been to both the Mira Mesa location and Clairemont. I think they are both equally delicious! The Cornish hen is definitely worth a try, especially with all the dipping sauces. Not sure the exact former location of the closed Sizzler, the iHop looks super new.
didn’t know about the hen! i’ll have to try that on our next visit! for those kabob days close to home, this is a perfect little spot.
