    Food and service were amazing! Did not like the table we were seated at. We were party of 10 and we had 2 separate tables next to each other with it being a booth and some chairs. Made it very hard to get out and get food.

    The Easter brunch at Granite City was very busy when I arrived for my reserved time. The staff was great! We were seated within 10 minutes of arrival. The dining area was congested with what looked to be extra tables so getting to the buffet was a little challenging. Our waitress was exceptional! The food as a whole was very good although the create your own and carving stations were a bit cramped. The pasta dish was by far my favorite. Overall great holiday experience!

    I ordered the meatloaf dinner. It was delicious. The bourbon sauce was excellent and green beans with garlic mashed potatoes complimented the dish. I would definitely order this again.

    We made a reservation and were seated as soon as we arrived, even though it was busy. I asked for a cocktail that was not in the menu and the waitress was kind enough to ask the bar who made it for me and it was great! Everyone enjoyed their food, service was great, our waitress was very knowledgeable, attentive and did a great job. Great place for a nice evening out, a date night or to celebrate a special occasion. Would definitely recommend and hope to return again soon.

    The service was great. The food was a little lacking in some areas.
    Granite City Food & Brewery - Cedar RapidsResponded on 17 February 2025
    Hi Grace, Thank you for sharing your experience at Granite City Brewery. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the service, but we're sorry to learn that the food didn't meet your expectations. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we will take action to look into this matter with our team. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope to provide a better dining experience during your next visit. I completely understand the noise level at that time on a Saturday. Yes the staff was preparing for our brunch service on Sunday. I will make different arrangements so you, the guest aren't disturbed while dinning. I truly respect your feedback. I have also addressed the issue with the mashed potatoes not being hot with the chef. Do you remember who was your server? I would like to acknowledge him. Thank you again for your input. Sincerely, Paul Priebe General Manager Granite City Food & Brewery

    Overall experience was good. On our way home I started to feel sick. I could barely make it home before I got violently sick, which continued through out the night. I have never been that sick before.
