If you’ve been eyeing a Blackstone griddle but want something a bit more versatile than the standard flat-top models, the Omnivore Griddle just showed up at Costco and it’s worth a serious look.
This isn’t your typical Blackstone. The Omnivore comes with a hinged hood that transforms it from an open griddle into something closer to a grill-griddle hybrid, plus it includes a cover to protect your investment from the elements. The hood feature is a game-changer for cooking items that benefit from trapped heat—think smash burgers that get that extra melty cheese or veggies that need a little steam.
At this price point, you’re getting Blackstone’s solid build quality with added versatility. The hinged hood genuinely expands what you can cook compared to a standard griddle. That said, it’s still a substantial piece of equipment that’ll take up real patio space, and you’ll need to commit to the seasoning and maintenance routine that all flat-top griddles require.
Key Features:
- Item #: 1934226
- Current Price: $429.99
- Hinged hood for increased cooking versatility and heat retention
- Protective cover included to shield griddle from weather when not in use
- Large cooking surface perfect for feeding a crowd
- Blackstone’s signature thick cold-rolled steel griddle top
- Multiple burners for independent temperature zone control
Bottom Line: If you’re ready to level up your outdoor cooking game and want more flexibility than a standard flat-top offers, the Omnivore delivers. Just make sure you’ve got the patio space and you’re willing to put in the upkeep—this isn’t a set-it-and-forget-it purchase, but it’s a solid value for what you’re getting.
