Background of Queso Grill® After many years of research and due diligence, Jason Emerson opened up his first Queso Grill® in 2010 in Lincroft, NJ. Mr. Emerson has over 25 years in the food industry and Queso Grill® is located adjacent to a successful dine-in restaurant that Mr. Emerson owns. Queso Grill® was designed and tweaked over the years to make the build-out, operations, recipes, and comprehensive training program where Jason is able to leverage his many years of experience in the restaurant business to create a partnership between you and him for a successful Queso Grill® franchise. While Jason believes in setting the standards high, he keeps his motto at Queso Grill® simple: keep it clean, fresh, friendly, and you will have a customer for life!
