Green Tomato Grill was built around the core principles of serving fast, fresh, and flavorful food that everyone can enjoy.
OUR STORY
Green Tomato Grill opened its doors in 2013 in the heart of Orange, California, on Tustin Street. Founded by Chris Stern and Kyle Markt, the restaurant was born from a simple idea: make fresh, flavorful food that everyone can enjoy. What started as one neighborhood location has grown into a Southern California favorite, with additional restaurants in Brea and Huntington Beach, plus a ghost kitchen in Costa Mesa serving even more guests across Orange County. At Green Tomato Grill, we’re proud to be a part of your community—and your table.
BOLD FLAVORS
We’re a small, passionate team committed to serving food that’s as nourishing as it is crave-worthy. Everything we make starts fresh—from house-made sauces and marinades to grilled proteins, vibrant vegetables, and thoughtfully sourced ingredients. We don’t believe in shortcuts or artificial flavors. At Green Tomato Grill, we believe everyone deserves to eat food that makes them feel good—no matter their lifestyle or dietary needs. Whether you're vegan, gluten-free, keto, or just love a perfectly grilled steak, our menu is designed with you in mind. Every dish is fully customizable, so you can eat your way without ever giving up bold flavor or satisfaction.
We take every precaution possible to create safe food, however since there is gluten, nuts, shellfish, soy, and dairy on the premise we cannot guarantee any our products are 100% allergen free.
OUR CORE VALUES
At Green Tomato Grill, we’re more than just a place to eat—we’re a team driven by purpose and passion. We believe great food should make you feel great, and that starts with how we treat our guests, our team, and the planet. We bring energy, positivity, and genuine care into everything we do, creating an uplifting experience from kitchen to counter. We invest in our people, celebrate growth, and believe that when our team thrives, our community does too. Sustainability is at the heart of our operation. We use low-waste cooking methods, organic cleaning supplies, biodegradable packaging, and always look for ways to reduce our impact and do better.
