Best Flat Top Grills & Griddles for 2025
Top Rated Flat Top Grills
Do you enjoy outdoor entertaining? While just about any grill is a great way to both delight and feed guests in an outdoor setting, flat top grills and griddles offer a new level of entertainment possibilities. Also known as gas griddles, teppanyaki grills, planchas, or hibachis, these appliances have large cooking surfaces that are open for all guests to see, unlike a traditional grill where their view may be blocked by a lid. Flat top grills are also evenly heated and provide great versatility, allowing you to cook fun dishes like breakfast, fajitas, and stir fry while friends and family watch. How’s that for outdoor entertainment? To help you find your new entertainment station, we asked our team of experts to compile a list of our best flat top grills based on their quality, performance, and features. This is a fairly small category of grills, but we’ve seen our share of griddles while testing and selling grills over the past 20-plus years. With models from popular brands like DCS, Blaze, and EVO, you can be confident each gas griddle we’ve picked will meet your outdoor living needs.
