Excellent food! Love the ambiance and the servers! Eating on the patio on a nice day is the best! Sitting in the large room with a big group is perfect! Granite Grill is a fantastic addition to our neighborhood! read more

My buddy and I stopped by Granite Grill on a Wednesday evening during Fourth of July week, and despite being packed, the experience was outstanding from start to finish. There were only a couple of tables available, but they were clearly well staffed. We were greeted immediately at the door, and it was obvious there were multiple managers on the floor making sure everything was running smoothly. The ambiance struck the perfect balance--upscale yet approachable. It felt polished without being stuffy or overly formal. The lighting was just right, creating a comfortable atmosphere for dinner, and they offered a nice selection of beverages and cocktails. The food absolutely delivered. My friend ordered the Cobb salad with fried chicken. The chicken was perfectly cooked and lightly breaded--not overly heavy at all. His only suggestion would be swapping the mustard-based dressing for something brighter, like a lemon or citrus vinaigrette, since it competed a bit with the blue cheese crumbles. I ordered the Mediterranean Bowl with shrimp, and it was fantastic. A small detail that made a surprisingly big impression: the shrimp tails had already been removed! It's such a simple thing, but not having to stop and pick tails off while eating made the meal that much more enjoyable. The dish was perfectly balanced and delicious exactly as served--I wouldn't change a thing. My martini was also expertly made. No notes there either. The restaurant attracted a friendly, well-dressed crowd, adding to the overall experience without feeling pretentious. It's also easy to find, located on the corner of the shopping center with Trader Joe's and Planet Fitness. Granite Grill exceeded my expectations, and I'll definitely be back. Great food, attentive service, an inviting atmosphere, and excellent attention to detail. Highly recommended. read more

The Granite Grill - Mediterranean bowl - Salad Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

We had a late lunch on a Sunday which was a great time to visit. Every other time I've been it's been mobbed! It's a beautiful space and very quiet while we were there which was important to my party. Everyone was very happy with their starters and meals. We ordered the Beet Salad, hush puppies and a few side salads to start. Main dishes ordered were the Mediterranean salad - my uncle practically licked the plate, the Hanger steak was perfectly cooked as were the crab cakes and burger. I had the salmon salad and it was the perfect size. The lemon dressing was delicious too...not too tart. We finished with the brownie sundae and it was so good. The perfect ending. Service was fantastic and very attentive. We were well cared for. read more

Six of us were there for dinner. The place is nice and very open. We were in a large booth. I wish I could remember the name of our waitress. She was great, funny and attentive. Food was fair. We all ordered a different entree except two of us got burgers. Mine was very well done and ordered medium well... but it was still good. Even though this is in a strip mall with a huge parking lot, parking was packed!! We found a spot on the other end of the mall read more

Out on a school night with our faves! Nothing short of an amazing time @granitegrillandbar! Nestled in the TJ's shopping strip off of Stony Point Rd! Our first visit and definitely won't be our last! Customer care from the time we entered until we exited: top tier! Our waiter David was very helpful in navigating the menu and super friendly! All of the drinks throughout the evening were stellar, shout out to the bartender, lol! And all of the food from the appetizers (hush puppies and crab dip) to our main courses (chicken sandwich, fish sandwich, salmon and not pictured was a pesto chicken pasta) were all served fresh, piping hot, and delicious! The modern decor and the vibe gave me all the Northern VA feels...an overall amazing foodie experience and we highly recommend you give them a try! #rvafoodie #thursdaynightdinner read more

First timers and thankfully we made a reservation for four persons..arrived early and had no problems. Ambiance and restaurant layout was top notch. Our server was Allie(?) and she was spectacular, offered a lot of great suggestions and really knew the menu. We started with the spinach n artichoke dip with chips...wow this was amazing and portion was perfect. Between the four of us we had the Hanger steak, wedge salad with grilled chicken, pesto pasta and last was the cajun pasta. All the entrees were top notch, Thank You Chef. My fries were a-bit cold but the steak was perfect. Too stuffed to try desert...Easter treats at home to try. Overall the food was really good and the service was the best part, thanks again Allie! read more

After wanting to try this place because of the recent social media hype, I was finally able to visit. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the waiter was very attentive, making sure I had everything I needed. I started with a New York Sour and the crab dip. The New York Sour was okay, but the crab dip was amazing and easily the best thing I had all evening. The foam and wine on top of the drink were overpowering at first, but the flavors felt more balanced toward the end. For my entrée, I ordered the crab cakes, which were under-seasoned and had an unusual breading/crust that isn't typical for that dish. The remoulade also had an odd flavor, and the mixed vegetables were not good at all. I actually ended up asking for fries instead. The fries came out hot but definitely needed salt. My partner got the fish sandwich, which was disappointing because the breading was soggy. I ended with the sticky toffee pudding, which was just okay, much like the rest of the experience. Overall, the service and the crab dip were the highlights, while everything else fell flat. read more

Decided to try this place out with my wife a couple weeks ago. Service was great, vibes were great as well. We had our baby with us and the staff was very accommodating. I got their ribs and a Caesar salad. My wife got the salmon salad. We both really loved our meals, their ribs are surprisingly good. I really like the Caesar salad as well, they went heavy on the dressing which I love. Definitely recommend this place and will be coming back. read more

Our service was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable of the menu. I appreciated our server and his answers to our questions. However, the kitchen service and food was sadly short of impressive. We had a party of 6 and despite all ordering together, our food came out in very random batches ~10 minutes apart. Those of us that got our food first were encouraged to start eating instead of waiting for the others, so we did. I ordered the Pesto Chicken Pasta and was thoroughly impressed with the portion size. Unfortunately, though, it came out lukewarm temperature at best. It must have been sitting out for quite some time before it even got to our table. And the sauce, though flavorful, was extremely thin and watery. My fiancé got the ribs and shared some with me, and while we both enjoyed them, I found them to also be lukewarm, borderline cold. I can't help but wonder if our food had been prepped too quickly and ended up sitting for too long, so they had to make the call to serve it despite the other half of our table not receiving their food at the same time. The first few dishes did come out rather fast. I think this just points to a KOT issue- whoever the Expeditor is may need to revisit their process! Normal kinks of any newish restaurant! Overall, my experience was just fine. The food was good, our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable, and the restaurant itself was clean and well designed. I think they have some kinks to work through, but I look forward to seeing them flourish in the years to come once they figure some stuff out. read more

What a stunning restaurant! We came here for my mom's birthday lunch as a group of six. It was easy to make a reservation online. This spot has incredible service. We had the kindest and most attentive servers. They were beyond charming and very patient with all the requests. I wish I could rate this spot higher because I loved the service and atmosphere, but they might have been having an off day for food. Maybe my expectations were too high. I started my meal with the rosa spritz which was ok. I loved my fiancé's gimlet. Our tabled shared the hush puppies, which came with a very yummy honey butter. Two people got the Mediterranean bowl at my table which was underwhelming. My fiancé got the fried chicken sandwich. Unfortunately, it felt crunchy in an old way. We both had fries with our meals which were stale. My burger was fine. The main courses we got were not what I was hoping based on other reviews. However, I think it might've just been an off day. Because the service is so perfect here. We got desserts for my mom and they had candles and everything. The key lime pie and the brownie were nice. I think I need to come back on a day different then Sunday. read more

We came here a group of our friends and from the very beginning we were well taken care of. The food was surprisingly tasty and prepared well because of how it was seasoned. You would think a party of 8 would have bogged down the kitchen, think again everything came out hot and fresh, Granite grill seems to be a staple in the community. Good Job! read more

Cool new-ish spot. A little out of my usual geographical range, but heard good things so gave it a shot. All around great experience. Solid menu. Good variety. Nice price range for the types of fare served, and all the dishes were delightful. As was the bar's selection of beers & cocktails. Place was busy enough to feel bustling, but service was attentive and as quick as should be expected. Will definitely go back at some point. read more

WOW. That's really all I can say. I went in with fairly high expectations, knowing the owners also run Tazza and Conejo. I also gave them some grace since they only just opened last Friday and I expected there might be a few hiccups. Instead, the entire experience was a solid 10/10. :) My husband and I went for a date night and made a reservation about nine days in advance. We're so glad we did -- the place was absolutely packed, and there was definitely a long wait for anyone without a reservation. Thankfully, as soon as we walked in and spoke to the hostess, we were seated right away. Our server, Grayson, was incredibly sweet and offered great recommendations, including the hush puppies and the calamari. Both were SO delicious. The calamari was coated in cornmeal with the perfect crunch, and the hush puppies were well-seasoned, light, and doughy on the inside. They really reminded us of the kind you'd get further down South. We also shared a side Caesar salad, which was the perfect size for two and honestly one of the best Caesars in the city. It wasn't overdressed, the sourdough croutons were clearly fresh, crisp lettuce, and the Parmesan on top was just chef's kiss. For our entrées, I ordered the chicken pesto pasta and my husband got the ribs. The pesto pasta was a 12/10. It's not something I usually order, but I saw someone nearby get it, it looked amazing, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The real star of the night, though, was the house baby back ribs. The sauce, the bark, the tenderness of the meat, the way it just falls off the bone -- unreal. Neither of us would normally think to order ribs here, and now we're so glad we did. Please try them. It might seem like a random item on the menu, but they are seriously impressive. I would go back just for those ribs. All in all: make a reservation. You won't regret it! read more

Loved everything about this place. Beautiful space, wonderful menu, outstanding service. My group of 12 ladies ordered a variety of cocktails and entrees. Everyone was thrilled with their order. I had the beef bourguignon, which was absolutely delicious. Beautifully presented as well. Looking forward to going back with DH read more

Granite Grill has been on my list, and we finally made it! They opened about three-ish weeks ago, and if you love Tazza or Conejo, you'll definitely enjoy Granite Grill since it's their sister restaurant. Totally different concept, but the flavors were on point and we all thoroughly enjoyed everything. I was honestly shocked by how *big* the space is. There's a very spacious bar area with both bar seating and tables. The main dining room is large too, and we ended up in the side room with about eight tables and a TV -- there's even a door you can close off, which would make it perfect for a private party. The vibe gives a little "Southbound," but with more of a true grill feel. **Drinks:** We tried the Bourbon Old Fashioned, Black Manhattan, Mojito, and Blackberry Mojito -- all tasty and well made. **Starters:** We ordered the warm crab dip, which reminded me of the wontons at Dippers. Loved that they give you *enough* dippers so you're not left asking for more (a huge pet peeve of mine!). **Mains:** * North Carolina Rainbow Trout * Chicken Pesto Pasta (they make their own pasta!) * Kids' Cheeseburger (amazing char -- made the adults consider ordering a burger too) * Kids' Spaghetti Everyone enjoyed their meals, no complaints at all. **Dessert:** We wanted the full experience, so we stayed for dessert -- even though we joked about heading to Gelati Celesti or grabbing something from Trader Joe's instead. So glad we didn't! The Sticky Toffee Cake and Key Lime Pie were both delicious... not a single bite left of either. Overall, a great new addition. Excited to go back next time! read more

Honestly, so impressed by this establishment. We needed a last minute dinner option on our way back home after a very long weekend and road trip. We were welcomed in without a reservation and with warm smiles. All staff were so nice and generous. I chose the clarified strawberry martini- so freaking good! We each opted for the Salmon, trout and Mediterranean bowl. Everyone licked their plates clean. We left talking about how fantastic it was and lucky we live so close by. Will be back and can see it becoming one of our go to/local haunts. read more

Great food! (Please bring back the Greek Salad). Great service! Lots of Parking! Strong cocktail game!

As we walked in we noticed a nice relaxed classy environment. Loved the ambiance. Quiet but not too quiet. Service was great! Noah checked on us frequently. He was nice, knowledgeable and efficient as well. The food came out beautifully and its was hot and most importantly delicious! The only problem i had was that my granite burger wasn't cooked well, but I was starving, so I ate most of it. I didn't complaijn. Everything my husband had and my fries were amazing! read more

The main dining area is very pretty. The patio is lovely with lots of potted plants and overhead fans. Our server was Ben and he was a friendly, professional server. We were well attended by him but other servers will help out, too. It's nice to feel like all servers are watching for any customers needs. The food was really wonderful. The Tempura Cauliflower was served hot and crispy with a tasty dipping sauce of curried yogurt. It was so good that I would recommend that as an entree to any vegetarian. Hubby's salmon salad was great. It was cooked just a tad longer than desired but he said the flavor was great. My Hanger Steak was tender and flavorful. I would get that again! We will return! read more

Steak was delicious and cooked to order perfectly read more

I'm obsessed! Had dinner here on a Saturday night with no reservations! I only had about a 20/25 minute wait. Definitely suggest making a reservation though. The vibe here is a little upscale and intimate. The service here is very good, all of the staff was very kind and welcoming. The drinks are so fire. I had the blackberry mojito which was SO GOOD. The spicy Marg which was also delicious and the granite mule. For appetizer, we got the calamari. The calamari was a little too crispy but still good. The house remoulade was INCREDIBLE. For entire, I got the Cajun pasta. My partner got the hickory smoked baby back ribs. The portions are very generous, the dishes are so delicious. Hope they keep up the quality/service. read more

We went here for lunch and had a great time. The food was served very quickly despite the fact that the restaurant was pretty busy. While we didn't have reservations, the hostess was quick to find a seat for us which we were very appreciative of. We started with the crab dip app and had a glass of wine and beer. The crab dip was full of big hunks of crab. Very delicious! For our entrees we had the grilled chicken sandwich and their crispy fish sandwich. Both were really good and very flavorful. Our server was very friendly and efficient. He had several tables he was working with, yet he always checked back with us and never left us needing anything. The interior of the restaurant is very clean and modern feel. Seems to be a lot of booths there, althought we sat at a high-top near the bar and really enjoyed its location. All in all I was really impressed and will definitely go back. read more

The Granite Grill - Crabcake - Salad Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I've been to Granite Grill a couple of times now. Things were a little shaky with the hostess and getting seated when they first opened, but since then it's really settled in and become a solid spot in Bon Air. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the food has been consistently good. The only real miss for me is the bourbon selection...it's pretty limited and a bit boring for anyone who enjoys a good pour. Still, it's a dependable neighborhood place that I'll continue to come back to. read more

Been 3x in last few months. Good food, drinks and setting. Nice long bar. Key lime pie and cauliflower app are delish. We've enjoyed all entrees. Recommended!!! read more

Elated that the highly anticipated and elevated dining option has arrived to the Stony Point Shopping Center: Semi-Fine Dining Done Right Upon entry, it's clear that this restaurant is exactly what the neighborhood has been missing. Drinks That Set the Tone- A Cosmopolitan and a red Sangria. The cosmopolitan was perfectly balanced--tart and smooth with just the right amount of sweetness, served ice-cold in a proper martini glass. The sangria was equally impressive, brimming with fresh fruit in a well-crafted blend that was neither too sweet nor overpowering. They were thoughtfully prepared by the bartenders. Appetizers Worth Savouring- The Warm Crab Dip arrived bubbling hot, with generous portions of lump crab meat folded into a creamy, perfectly seasoned base. Served with crispy, house-made chips. It disappeared embarrassingly quickly. The Southern Fried Shrimp were a revelation--light, crispy coating that stayed crunchy without being greasy, revealing plump, perfectly cooked shrimp inside. The accompanying remoulade and cocktail sauce options were great complements. We were thrilled that it was served with both. Entrees That Deliver- Fresh Catch of the Day--a beautifully prepared Rockfish--and the Cajun Pasta. The Rockfish was impeccably fresh, with a delicate, flaky texture with gentle seasoning that didn't mask the fish's natural sweetness. The accompaniments of rice and asparagus were perfect pairings to the dish. They offer three choices of sauces/glaze which we opted to try them all without disappointment. The Cajun Pasta delivered bold, layered flavors with a tomato cream sauce that had genuine heat and complexity. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, and the generous portions of shrimp and chicken were perfectly seasoned. It's comfort food elevated to an art form. I was truly impressed. Atmosphere and Ambiance- The modern décor is sleek and sophisticated without feeling stuffy. Clean lines, warm lighting, and contemporary finishes create an inviting space that feels both current and timeless. The sizeable bar is a destination in itself--welcoming and energetic, it offers a refined twist on the sports bar concept. You can watch your favorite game here while sipping a craft cocktail and enjoying elevated bar fare, which is a rare combination done this well. The outdoor patio deserves special mention. It's the perfect spot for al fresco dining, whether you're enjoying a leisurely weekend brunch or a warm evening dinner. The thoughtful design makes it feel like an escape, even though you're in the heart of a shopping center. The Verdict: Stony Point Shopping Center has long needed a restaurant where you can celebrate special occasions without leaving the neighborhood, and this new addition fills that gap beautifully. The service was attentive without being intrusive, the ambiance strikes the perfect balance between upscale and approachable, and most importantly, the food delivers on every promise. The food and atmosphere feel special! The Granite Grill will quickly become your new go-to spot. Stony Point Shopping Center just became a lot more delicious. read more

We enjoyed The Granite Grill's food and the ambiance. The staff were sweet, but still figuring out the timing of plates; dishes weren't coming out at the right time or were going to wrong tables (new restaurant-quirks they will sort out). We did find it slightly overpriced compared to their sister restaurant, Tazza Kitchen, which has better service and food for cheaper prices. We will give The Granite Grill another try in a couple months. read more

The Granite Grill - Tuna tartare - Salad Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

This is a bit tough to rate and I hope the owners read this. I tried the Granite Grill for the first time. It was highly recommended and judging by the crowd, it's a popular place to eat. I know that meal prices have increased because food prices have increased significantly, but I feel for what the restaurant offers, the prices are way too high. My biggest complaint wasn't that the main dish, 1/2 chicken au jus wasn't good. It was very good. BUT, what was delivered to the table wasn't a half of a chicken. What got delivered was a leg and a wing, and very small ones. That, the owners should understand, was a 1/4 of chicken, not a half. For $24, that was outrageous. We had an amazing waitress, Maya, and unfortunately, it was her last day. She was one of the best servers I've ever experienced. She didn't seem to be that concerned and I was shocked at the response, until a few a minutes later she came back and told me she spoke to the manager and they would compensate me for the complaint. THAT is the proper way to handle a complaint. The mashed potatoes tasted wonderful, but they were mush. The owners need to revise the menu if they are going to serve a 1/4 chicken and charge $24. I ordered a side salad ($7.50) and it was delicious with the vinaigrette dressing. We both ordered a brownie sundae ($10) and it was two scoops of a vanilla ice cream with a delicious brownie, caramel sauce, and whipped cream. I think the one sundae is made to share, it was a generous serving. My buddy ordered the Chicken Pesto Pasta. He said it was excellent and THAT looked like a fairly decent portion, but I don't know what he paid for it. Overall, I think the prices are way too high, even with menu prices having been on the rise. If the portions were somewhat more generous, I could understand the prices. The ribs looked delicious but what looked like slightly less than half a rack for about $25 also seemed expensive. The food was delicious but, I feel, overpriced. I am really dying to try the ribs so I'll be back. I hope the other servers are as good as Maya's and I wish her luck in Denver! read more

Today some friends, my husband and I celebrated two birthdays at The Granite Grill for lunch. First of all, the server, Adriana, was excellent!

First time visit for a nice Sunday lunch. We had 1PM reservations, but were able to be seated earlier. Hostesses were very nice. Great lighting and professional staff. Our server, Marywilla, was attentive and friendly. She greeted us with a warm smile. For an appetizer we had the spicy chili crisp shrimp. Not a fan of the bowl of sauce, but the shrimp were nicely cooked. The Granite burger was delicious and the crispy shoestring fries were the star. The Fork & Knife Baby Back ribs were a little fatty, but very meaty. You do need a fork and knife. Bathrooms were clean and easy to find. Outdoor seating is available. read more

I am so excited to have The Granite Grill in the neighborhood. While the restaurant is in the middle of a busy shopping center there is so way to tell once you are inside. Granite Grill has a calm yet lively ambiance. It was packed on the Thursday night we dined there but we were seated quickly and received fast service. I ordered the Scottish Salmon with Herbed Beurre Blanc which was absolutely incredible. My husband ordered the baby back ribs and was highly impressed. We look forward to returning both for a seated dinner and casual drinks at the bar. read more

First time dining here. Our group was 20 ladies. All of the meals came out at the same time! This never happens. There's always several people waiting for their food. We had two servers who were absolutely wonderful (unfortunately, I don't remember their names). I had the Beef Bourguignon. The dish was stunning and the food was absolutely delicious. Then I had the Sticky Toffee Pudding. Oh. My. Goodness! I can't wait to go back. What a welcome addition to Midlothian. read more

We had a great first experience here at granite grill. We had reservations at 4:45 on a Friday. By the time we left the place was almost full! Started off with the hush puppies, they were perfectly cooked and the butter was a great addition! My boyfriend got the ribs which were amazing, tangy sauce and cooked perfectly. I got the beef bourguignon and it was amazing as well! Carrots and mashed potatoes and sauce paired perfectly with it. We also got the cream of spinach which was amazing and the Brussels sprouts which were more Asian style. (Was a little strange for me) we ended the night with the sticky toffee cake. It was divine!!! Highly recommend. Cocktails are great as well! Overall, we had an amazing time. Our waitress (Erin I think) was knowledgeable and very attentive. We will be back asap! Add this place as a must try in your list. No pics because we were too busy pigging out! read more

The Granite Grill - Beet salad - Salad Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I hate to leave this review. It's a beautiful restaurant and very lively. Ben is a superb waiter. This was my second visit - the first visit left us underwhelmed with the Mediterranean bowl and eggplant parmigiana. The spinach artichoke dip was the best thing we had. Tonight, we had the eggplant again (just so so) and the crab cakes. The crab cakes were unseasoned and had a weird crumb coating. My crab cakes are way better to be honest. This is a great place to go for happy hour and have a drink and an app - but the entrees we've had are underwhelming. I really want to love it because the service and atmosphere are great - but the kitchen needs help. read more

First time at Granite Grill tonite celebrating our anniversary. We were seated right on time (had a reservation) and service came quickly. He had the filet, I had the ribs. Both were delish. The ribs came with great fries - thin, crispy, and hot. The coleslaw-meh-not a generous portion and not to my taste. His Caesar salad was delicious. For dessert we had the sticky toffee pudding- highly recommend! Liz, our server, was smiling and pleasant the whole time, as was the trainee (BB?). Can't wait to go back. read more

The Granite Grill - Sticky Toffee Pudding with ice cream. - Salad Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Beautiful interior (well done, Helen Reed, as usual), but all the two-tops are arranged in our least-favorite configuration: lined up nearly shoulder-to-shoulder along long benches (one along the front window, one in the middle of the dining room) such that you're privy to conversations on both side of you, no matter how you try to tune them out. I mean, I'm friendly, but I'm not there for a community dining experience. Next time, we'll insist on a four top even if we're just two - they won't love the idea of leaving two seats empty, but it'll be that or nothing for us. As far as food and drink, we'll give them a C. The pasta dish was amazing and got five stars. The Black Manhattan was enlightening and very drinkable. The burger was terrific for the first few bites but is in that category that quickly dissolves into a mushy mess halfway through. It probably wasn't helped by the pair of fried onion rings stacked under the top bun that literally added three inches to the height of the sandwich. (Why do some chefs like to make their burgers a mile high when the human mouth can't possibly accommodate them?) This forces the diner to either strip out the onion rings or smash the whole thing down to edible dimensions, hastening the mushy breakdown. Ugh. (A minor irritation: I asked the waiter for a lager to compliment the burger - any lager, I wasn't particular - and instead was delivered a Legend Brown Ale. A fine libation, just not what I asked for.) Worst, however, was the crab dip we started with. It didn't taste bad, per se ... it literally had no flavor whatsoever. The wonton chips, bland as they were, still overpowered whatever flavor the dip may have brought, and their oiliness didn't add to the experience. Wouldn't order them again, to say the least. All that said, our first experience was enough to bring us back for a second visit (just not for the burger or crab dip.) I hear good things about the trout! read more

Excellent service from the moment we walked in. An honest waitress when asked questions about the food and recommendations. It is a bit of a hike for me from where I live but would return with friends. read more
