We were referred to the Grinder (www.grinderdeli.com) by family for a nice, sit down, affordable dinner. I have never been so disappointed. I thought the prices were a bit high for a "deli" and my food did not get eaten and was taken off the bill.
My husband ordered a french dip sandwich while he expressed that it was dry, he did consume the entire meal and said the taste was "okay".
I ordered a turkey club sandwich that was $10.99 (outrageous in my opinion) and was so dry that the turkey meat just crumbled. Thoroughly un-enjoyable.
The staff was not friendly enough to take notice, long waits for drink refills, all around an un-enjoyable experience.
Cost for a table of 7: unknown but I can tell you the price for a turkey club was $10.99 and a second turkey sandwich of similar toppings was priced at $11.99.

Firebirds Wood Fire Grill, Chandler, AZ
A family of meat and potatoe lovers craving a steak? Hmmm... we were tired of the same old places and really looking for something different. We tried Firebirds Wood Fire Grill (www.firebirdsrestaurants.com) by the Chandler Mall and had a great dinner.
It is a business casual attire setting. Dark lighting, rustic outdoorsy feeling. Price was high but it was as expected.
The husband ordered a dinner salad, baked potatoe and a New York strip. He states that his steak was well cooked, well seasoned although smaller than he prefers (he has a large appetite). "Best steak I have had in awhile".
I ordered the Blue Cheese Filet with a baked potatoe. The bake potatoe, in my opinion, was oversalted and unenjoyable. The Blue Cheese Filet is the best thing I have ever tasted (and I am not someone who enjoys steak). It was a bacon wrapped filet mignon with a blue cheese sauce topping with blue cheese crumbles and mushrooms. Delicious.
My father in law had the french dip sandwich which came to our table as a surprisingly large sandwich with plenty of meat. My father in law was pleased with his selection.
With three adults and two children, plus soda/tea as a beverage, the total cost was approximately $93.00. Not bad for the quality of the food we were eating and the staff was friendly and polite. Some place I would definitely go again!
Total Cost: $93.00 plus tip
