Is the Royal Gourmet 2-burner griddle worth it at $85?

At $85.00 at Home Depot as of November 5, 2026, it is a low-cost way to get two burners and 227 sq. in. of griddle space. It makes sense if you want a portable griddle and can live without a lid or thermometer.

How many people can it cook for?

The 227 sq. in. surface is rated for about six burgers at once, enough for a small family or a tailgate group. Larger crowds will need two rounds of cooking.

Does it come with a lid or cover?

No. The griddle has no lid, so plan on a separate cover or a dry storage spot to keep the cooking surface clean.

What do I need to run it?

It runs on gas and needs a propane source and hose, which are not listed among the included accessories. The only included accessory is the slide-out grease cup.

How do I clean the porcelain-enameled plate?

Scrape off food residue while the plate is still warm, then wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid metal scrapers and sudden cooling, which can chip the coating.

Griddles like this usually drop around spring grilling season and end-of-summer clearance. Check the price history before buying outside those windows.
