Best Grill Store in Anaheim: Top 3 Picks

See how Arteflame compares to grill retailers near Anaheim, CA — American-made Corten-steel, 1,000°F+ searing. Ships free, no gas lines needed.

Introduction

If you're hunting for the best grill store in Anaheim, you're probably picturing a Saturday afternoon spent wandering a showroom floor, kicking tires on stainless-steel cabinets, and getting talked into an upsell. Fair enough — that's how most people shop for a grill. But compared with what Orange County retailers actually stock, the showroom model has a built-in tax: someone has to pay for that Lakeview Ave real estate and the sales floor, and that someone is you. Local showrooms still earn a visit if you want to see fit and finish in person, but for pure cooking performance per dollar, a direct-to-consumer flat-top like the Arteflame is worth comparing against what's on most Anaheim showroom floors. The options compare as follows before you make the drive.

Key Takeaways

  • Best for Browsing in Person: Backyards In Style, right in Anaheim, for high-end built-in and outdoor kitchen brands.
  • Best for Selection & Accessories: Barbeques Galore in nearby Brea, a full-line showroom with same-day accessory stock.
  • Value: Buying an Arteflame direct online — no showroom markup, and a hotter, more versatile cooking surface.

The Best Grill Store in Anaheim?

The best grill store in Anaheim isn't necessarily a physical building — it's whichever source gets you the best cooking performance for the money. The local showrooms compare as follows against buying direct.

Backyards In Style (Anaheim)
Located at 1241 N Lakeview Ave in Anaheim, this is the closest thing the city has to a true grill showroom, carrying built-in brands like Delta Heat, Twin Eagles, Coyote, and Blaze. If you want to see high-end outdoor kitchen components in person before you buy, this is the stop. Expect built-in-grill pricing to reflect the premium brands and consultation service on offer.

Barbeques Galore (Brea)
The nearest Barbeques Galore location to Anaheim is about 15 minutes north at 2315 E Imperial Hwy in Brea. It's a solid choice if you need parts, propane, or a grill the same day, but like most multi-brand showrooms it's carrying overhead that shows up in the sticker price.

Arteflame (Online, Direct)
Skip the showroom drive entirely and order direct from Arteflame's webshop. Because the carbon steel cooktop is sold factory-direct, you avoid both the showroom markup and the limited floor selection. Shipping is fast and the support team knows the product well.

Comparison: Price, Searing Capability, Maintenance & Social Design

Option Price Impact Searing Capability Maintenance Social Design
Arteflame (Online) No showroom markup 1,000°F+ center sear Solid steel, no grates or burners Open, round cook surface faces guests
Backyards In Style / Barbeques Galore Showroom overhead included Varies by brand, typically 500–700°F Grates, burners, and igniters to maintain Most are enclosed islands
Big Box (Lowe's, Costco seasonal) Retail pricing, no showroom customization Standard gas grates Grates and burners wear out over time Chef faces the grill, back to guests

The Best Outdoor Grill at Home

Because a wire grate is mostly open space, heat and juice escape between the bars instead of building the crust a solid cooking surface produces.

You can get that same result at home, better than most sit-down spots near Disneyland, once you understand how heat actually moves across a cooktop. It has nothing to do with the badge on the lid and everything to do with the surface itself.

The Searing Technique

The Arteflame's solid carbon steel cooktop reaches over 1,000°F at the center, giving you an instant, edge-to-edge crust that locks in juice without the flare-ups you get from grates dripping fat onto an open flame.

  1. 1,000°F Sear: The center of the cooktop runs hot enough to sear a steak faster and more evenly than the gas grills on most Anaheim showroom floors.
  2. Cook Everything At Once: The heat zones radiating out from center let you sear steaks in the middle while vegetables roast and buns toast on the cooler outer ring — no waiting for grill space to open up.
  3. Social Grill: With the fire out in the open instead of behind a lid, the cook stays part of the party instead of stuck at a station.

Pro Tip: Stocking up for a big cookout? The closest Costco to Anaheim is the Fullerton warehouse at 900 S Harbor Blvd — the same Harbor Blvd that runs past Disneyland — and their prime cuts are a great match for the high-heat sear an Arteflame puts out.

Why It's Called The "Social Grill"

An Arteflame isn't just cooking equipment — it changes how you host. Traditional grilling puts the cook behind a lid, staring at a wall while everyone else is on the patio. The Arteflame's open, round cooktop puts the fire at the center of the gathering, so guests can lean in, grab a drink, and watch — or help — instead of waiting on you from across the yard.

Don't take our word for it; Arteflame has been featured in countless publications with raving reviews.

"It looks like a Claus Oldenburg sculpture. It functions like a wood burning grill & plancha. It's great for steak, fragile fish, veggies and everything in between."
Forbes Business magazine
"The Arteflame will be the food and fun focal point of any backyard and is equally at home on a prepared surface or grass lawn."

"I love this grill - it's made of half-inch carbon steel and corten "weathering" steel with a cooktop that heats from the center."
Barbecue Bible Barbecue & grill recipes
"If the mythic gods of fire had an earthy temple, the Arteflame grill could serve as its baptismal font. Its design, at once primeval and modern, symbolizes mankind's relationship with the awesome power of fire."
