Taylor L811 Gas Three Platen Two Sided Grill

The Taylor L811 is a gas-powered, high-capacity double-sided grill built to deliver speed, consistency, and cook quality in high-volume operations. Designed to cook up to two-thirds faster than traditional flat tops or char-broilers, it’s a powerful solution for kitchens equipped for gas and looking to maximize throughput without sacrificing precision. Let the grill sear and perfect your product, while your staff keeps the ticket times down and your customers happy.

From burgers and grilled chicken to steak and cheeses and sausages, the L811’s 36 inch grill surface and three-points of contact on the upper platens ensure even, repeatable top-and-bottom cooking across every menu item. It’s a smart fit for universities, restaurants, and stadium concessions—anywhere speed, food safety, and flavor are non-negotiable.
