Majewski's appointment as Mongolian Concepts CEO was announced last month. 'I will guarantee you we'll be better operators than we were last time.' Majewski hopes the Grand Prairie outlet can open in December, depending on when the necessary equipment becomes available. Genghis Grill has more than 50 locations in 13 states, but none in Illinois. 'You can eat there two, three, four times a month and not get sick of the food.' 'Genghis is what most people consider stir-fry to be,' Majewski said. Flat Top also offers chef-prepared menu items. The basic concept for both restaurants is similar - diners select raw items buffet-style, place them in a bowl, and a cook prepares them on a circular, Mongolian-style grill. The Flat Top menu includes coconut curry chicken and citrus shrimp. Some non-Asian foods, including carne asada, also are on the menu.įlat Top Grill is more gourmet oriented than Genghis Grill, according to Majewski. Genghis Grill offers standard Asian fare, such as fried rice and teriyaki chicken. Genghis Grill is more a family-oriented, quick-service restaurant than Flat Top, Majewski said. Looking at the bigger picture, I thought it was not a good idea to reopen a shuttered restaurant, so I made the decision to flip to one of the other brands.' 'We were doing good with Flat Top before COVID. '(But) Flat Top wasn't the right brand for the market anymore. 'It was a market we never wanted to leave,' Majewski said about Peoria. It closed for good in June 2020 as restaurants reeled from initial shutdowns because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Majewski said Genghis Grill is more suited for the Peoria demographic than was Flat Top. Primary differences are in what food varieties, sauces and flavor preferences are offered.

The group oversees Flat Top Grill, Genghis Grill and bd's Mongolian Grill. He is the new CEO of Mongolian Concepts, a three-pronged stir-fry restaurant operation. Genghis Grill is the new-yet-old concept planned for the Northwest Peoria mall, according to Gregg Majewski. In fact, it's owned by the same group that owns Flat Top Grill.

The new place is a lot like Flat Top Grill.
