My friends and I planned to grab Sunday dinner at the Westwood location, but turns out that location is closed on Sundays! Luckily, the West Hollywood location is open and this is where my friends and I ended up. We easily found street parking right outside Fresh Corn Grill at a metered spot. Since it was a Sunday, the meters werent on and we got free parking. Fresh Corn Grill has you order and pay before you can grab a seat with a number. My friends and I decided to eat family style, so that we could try a little of everything on the menu. We ordered a salad, pizza, pasta, and 2 tacos plates with 2 sides each. The Fresh Corn Grilled Salad w/ Shrimp ($10.95+$3-4?) is a pretty large portion and was refreshing, light, and tasty. It has a mixture of cherry tomatoes, zucchini, corn, and various other veggies. I think the salad is delicious enough on its own and doesnt need any added protein. The Smoked Salmon Pizza ($14.95) was quite pricy for 6 slices, but oh so delicious. The crust is light and crispy. The pizza has a thin layer of cream cheese covered with layer of smoked salmon and a sprinkle of green onion. Its like a bagel without all those calories. The Salmon Taco Plate w/ Brussels Sprouts and Mushrooms ($12.95) was really dry and forgettable in my opinion. However, one of my friends enjoyed it. The Brussels Sprouts were still bitter, so I didnt eat the rest of it. I didnt try the mushrooms, since I normally dont like mushrooms to begin with. The Skirt Steak Taco Plate w/ Grilled Zucchini and Grilled Corn ($12.95) was the better taco plate, but again probably wouldnt order it. There didnt seem like anything special to it. The Grilled Zucchini was also underwhelming. The Grilled Corn was the standout side dish and would be ordered again if needed. The Sundried Tomato Pasta w/ Chicken ($10.95 + $2-3) was also really good. It comes with a creamy sauce and 2 slices of toasted bread. The pasta came with big pieces of sun dried tomatoes and chicken. For 5 girls, we were stuffed. We had only 2 tacos and 1 side leftover. Out of everything we had, I would suggest the Fresh Corn Grilled Salad, Smoked Salmon Pizza, and Sundried Tomato Pasta.

Fresh Corn Grill is easily one of my favorite lunch spots for many reasons. Its also very popular (for those reasons that Ill dive into in a bit) among many locals and businesses during lunch time so please be warned - youll be greeted with a long line. 1. Their staff is SUPERB - always nice and polite with a smile. 2. Ordering steak with your salad, bowl or sandwich is always a tricky decision with any eatery - whether its fancy sit-down or a fast food joint. Theres always a concern with the meat being too dry, which happens all too often. Fresh Corn Grill have mastered the art of cooking steak just right. The tender slices on my favorite KALE ROOT BOWL are always perfect and plentiful. I crave their steak! 3. If youre like me and dont like to overeat, theres always an option to get a HALF SALAD for any of their options, which also helps to save some change in the wallet. My favorite salad is their BEETS SALAD either by itself or you can add extra protein for a few more bucks. 4. Ive always been a big, big fan of their CAPRESE SANDWICH (fresh buffalo mozzarella, tomato, fresh basil with balsamic vinaigrette and olive oil), which comes with their delicious panini bread with a side salad. Its really delicious and is a BIG portion. You can split half the sandwich with someone else and itll cost less than $5/person. Another yum sandwich is their GRILLED CHICKEN, which comes in a choice of cajun or citrus sauce. Always a great choice for lunch or dinner and extremely delicious and affordable!!!

IMPORTANT FACT: I used to think that this place uses fresh and healthy food but its just the opposite. After realizing that I felt sick after eating at this place and heard the same from a few of my friends I looked into it and found out that they use GMO and their vegetables are not pesticide free. Its one thing if someone does not care about eating healthy but when the name of this place is Fresh Corn Grill and you use GMO corn its just not right. I asked the manager if they use GMO and after hesitating and saying its not organic he confirmed that they DO USE GMO. I could not believe it so I asked the owner (Josh) who needs to learn how to treat customers and not be so rude and arrogant and he confirmed the fact that they do use GMO and that their vegetables are not pesticide free. I told him how GMO makes people sick and it is not right to give the impression that it is and he went off on me. Apparently this place is just about making money and does not care about peoples health. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.

This is a great place to meet friends for a quick bite in West Hollywood. Theres a great parking structure next door, or across the street. The menu here can be very healthy. I usually get the chicken with 2 sides. This time I opted to try their Turkey Meatloaf, which was very salty and prepared with too much breading. For the sides I had the brussels sprouts (also very salty) and the glazed yams (served drowning in a bowl of sugary syrup). I think next time Ill stick with my usual chicken with corn and slaw.

I used to camp this restaurant working DOORDASH App so I can make some money delivering food TIP: For those of you with lactose intolerance or an attention to healthy eating, note that they put BUTTER in the salmon tacos. One of my favorite places to eat in WeHo that doesnt destroy your wallet or self esteem (cause its healthy..i think). ive had their grilled shrimp, shrimp tacos and their turkey meatloaf which were all equally amazing.”

Good food. Always consistent. Spencer the manager is the jewel in their crown, dont let him go guys... I usually order the shrimp tacos but the shrimp is getting harder and harder to find in them. Im one of those people that would rather have a price hike then lowering the quality but everyone doesnt agree. They are usually crowded and do a great takeout business

Great outdoor seating with umbrellas, although we sat inside because it was a little warm. I had the chicken caesar salad and it was incredible!! You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. We didnt have to wait long for our food. Well definitely go again next time were in town!

Fresh! And corny! Jokes aside, the patio feels removed enough from the street so youre not enjoying your shrimp salad with a side of exhaust but close enough that you can still people watch. Reasonably priced bottles of wine and supafresh ingredients definitely make this place a repeater.
