And the cheese fries actually had at least 1/2 pound of freshly cooked real bacon... I loaded up with meals and food and spent $38!!! This place has the best prices for what you're looking for!! Definitely try it out!!!! No question!!!

You know what? I think I have to give this place another try honestly. I was starving driving down…read morethe street when I came across Grando's! I walked in and they had a decent amount of space to dine in. It felt like your mom and pop shop which I liked. The cashier who I felt was the owner was so nice to me even tho I was not dressed to impress. I just felt the genuine kindness from his heart. I ordered my bf the Gyro and my thick lovely self had a bacon cheeseburger and we split the fries. Im so happy to report that the burger was delicious and had everything on it, grilled onions, tomato, bacon, mustard etc. The gyro I honestly didn't care for but my bf smashed it! He ate the whole thing! Damn near ate the wrapper! lmbo I am not kidding. So based of his review Im going to say it was good and the fries were shoestring and fried a little soft to my liking but they were still good since I ate all of mine. I sadly didn't take any pics since my order was to go but Honestly I think it's worth the try and I would be back to try something different.

I was treating my parents for my dad's birthday month (My daughter has a lot of activities, lol) and the menu appeared to have something for everyone. The 22 minute drive to Itasca was so worth it! The restaurant, which is open to the public, is on the same property as the Itasca Country Club, which is not open to the public. You go down the stairs, through the developing pizza bar, and to the restaurant. The restaurant space itself is cozy, with beautiful, natural lighting, and lots of seating options. We were asked booth or table and seated right by the picture window with beautiful views of their ice rinks and golf course. The food was above and beyond my expectations! Between the 5 people at the table, I sampled the French Onion soup, Sweet & Spicy Brussels, Bacon Smash Burger, Pot Roast Grilled Cheese, Sweet Tees (Donut Holes), Peanut Butter Smore-o, and Verde Dulce. The soup was not salty as I find some iterations, the brussels had complex flavors with hot honey, bacon, candied pistachios, and crumbled feta. The pot roast grilled cheese was very flavorful, but my boyfriend did state he wished the sandwich had more meat in it. The Sweet Tees donut holes were cooked to perfection without being oily and the jam accompaniment was a perfect texture and level of sweet. The Peanut Butter Smore-o was creamy and decadent with its perfectly ratioed layers of ganache, peanut butter mousse, Oreos, and whipped cream. The Verde Dulce, though, was the delicious classic olive oil cake with pistachio gelato & that throwback of candied pistachios from my appetizer. Even better than the food, our server, Kara, was one of the sweetest, most attentive human beings! She answered all of our questions, refilled our fountain drink and iced tea glasses when they were at 75% without prompting, made sure my dad felt celebrated with a candle, etc. Her teammate who was in charge of clearing our table was also prompt and I appreciate her asking what plates she could take. Overall, it was a beautiful late morning/early afternoon with delicious food and impeccable service. 10/10 recommend!!!

If you haven't discovered Fox & Turtle yet, you're missing one of the best hidden gems in the area…read more I was genuinely surprised to learn it's open to the public because it feels every bit like an upscale private country club. The outdoor patio overlooking the golf course is absolutely beautiful--relaxing, scenic, and the kind of place that makes you feel like you're on vacation. Even on a busy Thursday evening, the atmosphere was lively without ever feeling hectic. Our server, Jordyn, was outstanding. She looked young, but don't let that fool you--she was completely on top of everything. We were a party of six that couldn't decide what we wanted, laughed way too loudly, and probably tested her patience more than once. She handled us with grace, humor, and a smile the entire time. Somewhere along the way we started calling her "Wednesday" from The Addams Family, and she rolled with it perfectly. Great sense of humor and fantastic service. The food was excellent. The Crispy Eggplant Salad was absolutely phenomenal--fresh, flavorful, and easily large enough to share between two people. The burger was cooked perfectly, the cocktails were outstanding, and everything arrived promptly. The bar staff also deserve a shout-out. They were welcoming from the moment we arrived, made great eye contact, acknowledged everyone immediately, and had drinks in our hands in no time. That's the kind of hospitality that makes people want to come back. Fox & Turtle has the rare combination of great food, attentive service, excellent drinks, and a beautiful setting. It's the kind of place you expect to find inside an exclusive club, yet thankfully it's open for everyone to enjoy. We'll definitely be back.

The tv was blasting the evening news. I ordered a gyro sandwich with fries and a pizza puff with fries. The pizza puff was fine. Hard to mess that up. But the gyro... ugh. The meat seemed old; the tomatoes were pre-ripened; and they put huge chunks of onion on it. The pita bread was greased up and looked like it was rolled over by a car. I actually cleaned it up some before I posted the attached picture. They honestly need to shut this place down.

Extremely rude and unprofessional bartender -- Katrina…read more We've been coming to this place for the past 10 years and have always been allowed to bring our well-behaved dog onto the patio. Today, Katrina completely changed that experience. She was aggressive, dismissive, and downright disrespectful from the moment we arrived. No explanation, no politeness -- just attitude and hostility. Instead of calmly explaining any change in policy (if there even was one), she acted like we were a nuisance for even asking. Her tone was sarcastic, condescending, and entirely uncalled for, especially in a hospitality role. It's one thing to enforce rules, but it's another to do it while making customers feel small and unwelcome. If this is the kind of staff management is choosing to represent them, it says a lot. Katrina's behavior completely ruined what could have been a relaxed visit. We won't be coming back until this place remembers how to treat paying guests with respect.

As far as hotel restaurants go, this is one of the better ones. This time, I had a steak sandwich…read moreand it was perfectly cooked and the toppings and roll were well-matched and fresh. Our server was nice and attentive, but not too much since she knew that we had work to finish up before we could turn in for the night. While the sandwich with fries was a little over $20, I feel like it could easily be shared. The fires were also very good: hot and fresh and somewhere between "regular" and "steak" or plank-style fries. We also had potato skins -- and they don't use small potatoes or skimp on the cheese and bacon. I wouldn't say there is much in the way of "ambiance" since it is located in the hotel lobby, and sometimes there is live music, which I think is a little distracting in such a small space and, well, inside the hotel lobby (though the lobby is 12 floors of hard surfaces and largely open space)

I know the prices have gone up so I removed the menu photo I took two years ago. FYI.. the price is now $12.99 if you want two of them and $8.99 for only one. You also get a choice of fries, chips, or coleslaw. Since we're diabetic, we can't really eat anything but the coleslaw and it was served in a very small cup. The sloppy Joe was good and the sauce was only slightly sweet. It was not what I expected, however they were delicious and worth trying at least once. Will have to come back another day and try one of the other specials. Our waitress was very nice and she took our order right away, brought us our drinks, and we did not wait long for anything. We will be back soon!
