Although not alot of options for vegitarians, the food was great! The staff was super friendly and of course, great beer!Vegetarian options: Not many options for vegitarians, but a few, and they're good (avocado grilled cheese sandwich).

Had the worst experience ever...I WILL NEVER RETURN!!!!! Ordered the Crispy Asian Shrimp Tacos...have had them before but this time the first bite was so HOT I could only tolerate the one bite....my husband had the fish tacos and after the first bite you could smell the fish was NOT fresh...disgusting!!!!! We told the waitress and she took the plates away and I watched as she took them to the back. When she came back we told her we could not believe how bad the food tasted. She took our check and said she was "going to do something about it" Next thing we know, the "chef" was at the table asking what was wrong with the food.....we told him we just wanted the check and this confrontation was not welcomed or wanted. He asked where the food was and then proceeded to RUN to the back to retrieve it from the trash...WHO DOES THAT!!!!! The waitress returned and we told her we did not appreciate her telling him to come over to us and to just give us the check so we could leave. We paid and heading to the door and the chef came up behind us as I was asking the hostess if they had a General Manager...he then informed us HE was the executive chef....YOU MY FRIEND ARE NOT AN EXECUTIVE CHEF!!!! you are a cook fixing items on a menu someone else created and doing a POOR job at best. Please read this....."The executive chef is the leader of a professional kitchen. Also known as a head chef or chef de cuisine, this person is in charge of all back of house activities, from menu planning and ordering, to rostering and mentoring of kitchen staff. As an executive chef, cooking is the easiest job you will have." You do NOT meet this criteria.....bottom line is the food was awful and the service was almost as bad...I would encourage anyone considering eating there to think twice...DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY AS WE DID!!!!!!

We had the Valentine's dinner special. This is the second year we have went for this dinner and the food was amazing. The service unfortunately left something to be desired. Started off fine but when we received our entrees became nonexistent. Will go back again as this is the only time we have had an issue with service.

We had the buffet and the waitress didn't explain how it worked as there were 2 stations Food wasn't real warm Gravy on the biscuits and gravy was not good probably won't do the brunch again Mimosas were way watered-down

Went in there yesterday with a group of 4. 3 of 4 of us got food poisoning from the chicken. The food was alright but the after effects…were not. This was the only place we had eaten all day.

Our food arrived quickly and was delicious, especially the Mediterranean chicken and bison burger! Our server, Isabelle was very friendly. Would definitely come again.
Loved brunch. Two food stations. One with an awesome friendly omelet chef and carving station and the other from fruit and salad to sausage, bacon and Mac and cheese everything in between. Great Sunday dining experience for a first date (wink).

My son ordered a steak med rare and it came to us completely rare. The waitress was very nice but the table next to us asked to speak to a manager at some point and they said very loudly this will be the last time we come here so I think she was stressed from that situation and forgot some things that we had to ask twice for. I feel that the food was subpar for the price but I also understand that the industry as a whole is struggling so it makes sense that they raise the price. I compare this place to olive garden or red lobster, but it used to be a better experience, closer to biaggis. Now that they are a famous Dave's ghost kitchen, I feel like the quality has slipped.

Granite City has always served good food. However post CoVid the service is dissapointing. I have walked in and there is no one at the counter. I had a confusing communication over the phone while placing an order, so she hung up on me. I specifically explained a food allergy and was given the allergen anyway. I have to admit the one manager ive engaged with always creates a solution, but even LeBron needs adequate team players, she has a unfortunate circumstance of managing employees with poor communication skills. The GM needs to have some training implemented and hire a professional cleaning service.

We arrived and were seated in a reasonable time. Server showed up a few minutes later and took drink orders, which were brought to us a few minutes later. We discussed the menu with her and orders an appetizer to split, a soup for my wife and salad for me. She ordered the chicken alfredo and I ordered a steak, med rare. The appetizer and soup/salad were delivered in about 10 minutes while we visited. We finished them and set them aside to wait for our entry. After about 30-35 minutes we hadn't seen it, and our waitress went to check on it. Was delivered about 5 minutes later, stone cold. We discovered that and waited for the waitress to let her know. She talked to her manager and they promised to remake it all. Within 10-15 minutes they brought it back. It was a different steak, was warmer but still not hot. Sighed and ate about 1/2 of it and took the rest home. Wife picked the chicken out of the alfredo because the noodles were still not very warm. Took cheesecake home. They bill was adjusted about 10 dollars, but the experience was less that satisfactory. Won't try the New Year's Eve special again. Have never had problems like this at Granite City.

Ordered a Cesar salid with grilled chicken and got lettuce no dressing no Parmisian cheese croutons that were so small you could barely see. The chicken was little to none ! NEVER AGAIN
So good every time! Definitely one of our favorites.
