Even with two tablespoons of creamy dressing, a salad has fewer calories and less saturated fats than a quarter-pound hamburger on a bun.

Pass on the hamburger and fries and choose from a broad range of cold and hot grinders served up on whole wheat bread or gluten-free rolls. Savor a healthy cold, turkey breast or veggie grinder or go for a hot grinder filled with, our grilled chicken, balsamic or chipotle grilled chicken and served on a bed of wholesome greens. (Also, we offer gluten free soups.) So, how does the food at Nardelli’s Grinder Shoppe stack up against popular fast-food restaurants?
