I was excited to visit the granary today while I was in Norfolk. As a kid, I used to come and eat…read morehere with my grandma. It's been many years since I've been back, and I was so sad to see that they really haven't kept the restaurant up very well. While traveling on business, I thought I would grab some lunch and work on a project. A hostess offered to seat me, but became quickly confused about exactly where to put me and we ended up walking to several areas of the restaurant that had empty tables before she was able to get some assistance and find the right booth for me to sit in. Unfortunately, they do not have Wi-Fi so I wasn't able to stay. I would have ordered their classic "French Cheesy" sandwich which sells for only $4.50 (it is sold a la carte, as all of the sandwiches are). Much of the menu is fried, although they do offer a salad. I choose to keep my nice memories of the granary as a fun, family-friendly place to eat. I was really sad to see that it had aged so much. I hope that it's current owners, or anyone who takes it over in the future will opt to redo the interior & give it the love that it needs. It's meant to feel warm and homey. This has definitely been a treasured restaurant in Norfolk for many years and it deserves to be taken care of.

We weren't there for sports, we were there for lunch; however, we definitely took notice that it would indeed be the place to go for sports. A group of five of us, seated at a table and the only reason I'm docking a star is because we were seated just a few feet away from the Keno ball machine and it was quite unpleasant when it was running, which was during most of our visit. Excellent burgers, pork tenderloin sandwich, hand breaded chicken strips, fries & tater tots! Not a morsel left on anyone's plate! Our service was wonderful and attentive, we were checked in several times and beverages refilled often. We will definitely be back when we return to Norfolk!

We waited a good 20 mins for a table, meanwhile we got a drink at the bar. The place is nice and it looks like it's a local favorite. Lots of people and good ambiance. The screens played the Husker game but it was not overwhelmingly noisy...they had live music playing in the background enough to hear but not overpowering. The food was good, steaks and burgers were cooked just right. Looking forward to another date night here.

When we entered, there was no host to greet us. We did not know if we were supposed to seat ourselves. We did not see any menus. Eventually someone who was wiping down a table came over to let us know we needed to go outside of the restaurant area and order from the somewhere in the grocery store. There was one cashier at the counter and a long line of people waiting. The only menu available was hanging up behind the counter and had very small print. When it came to be our turn, we were told there would be an hour wait for any food. Since we were visiting from out of town and went there because we love the milkshakes, we asked if we could please get a couple of milkshakes, and we were told no. There are clearly staffing problems here that need to be addressed and some signing that could be added to help people navigate this concept much better. We left and found another place to have lunch.

My first thoughts were ugh, bar food. But it's better than that! It's delicious. I had the chicken taco salad. It was made with a homemade chipotle tortilla shell. It cooked up just like a regular tortilla and was yummy. I really enjoyed the salad as well. It was HUGE. Sometimes taco salads have like no lettuce and they are a soggy mess, other times they have lots of lettuce but no goodies. This was a nice balance. In addition to fresh lettuce, it had spinach, onions, lots of yummy veggies. I didn't really care for the guac and the salsa is Pace. A homemade salsa would text this up a notch or two! My friend also had a taco salad but she had the beef. Both equally full and delicious. The third person in our party stole the show with his meal. He got a philly and probably the best sweet potato waffle fries I've had. They were large and full of soft mash but with a little crunch on the outside. Sometimes sweet potato fries are small and overdone but these weren't. They were sweet like a funnel cake. They were hot and crispy and you get a ton in your order! Literally perfection. We all shared them. Kim was an awesome server!
