    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.

    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.

    Great service and buffet was good except the prime rib and potatoes rib were cold and had an ice cream scooper the potatoes where they were too cold to scoop out. We were all looking forward to the prime rib. Brought out of town guests and that was a bit of a disappointment. Plus we didn’t know you had to order brunch… had an elderly family member that barely eats and egg and bacon and seemed like a bit of a waste fore her to pay for a full buffet. But our server was awesome and the rest of the meal was very good. Also appreciated the table being set for 12 as I had left a message. Much appreciated.

    Brook, thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the service and most of your meal. We're sorry to learn that the prime rib and potatoes were not up to temperature and that the buffet format was a bit confusing. Your comments about the food temperature and the buffet ordering process are important, and we will look into these issues. We appreciate your kind words about our server and the table setup. We hope to welcome you back to Granite City Brewery soon!
