The restaurant has a bar-and-grill atmosphere, which makes sense given the brewery focus. It felt lively but still comfortable for a holiday dinner, and the menu offered several appealing choices both for the special and on the regular menu. We started with shrimp, which was cooked properly and had a good texture--firm and enjoyable without any rubbery or off-putting qualities. The French onion soup was a comforting course and fit the meal well. For the main, I ordered the burger, which was solid and satisfying. While not flashy, it was well prepared and enjoyable. A standout side was the sweet potato fries, which were exceptionally crisp with just the right amount of salt--easily some of the best I've had in a while. The dessert rounded out the meal nicely and completed the four-course experience. Nothing during the meal disappointed me; everything we had was good and well executed. Service was pleasant and professional. Our server was friendly and attentive, though the kitchen timing was a bit slow. We did notice that a few tables seated after us received their food sooner, but it wasn't enough to detract significantly from the overall experience. At $69 for a four-course Valentine's Day meal, the special felt like a good deal, offering variety and solid quality without feeling overpriced. Overall, Granite City delivered a comfortable, enjoyable holiday dinner with reliable food and good value.

The huevos were such an interesting spin on other versions and I loved it. Cocktails are great and inventive too! So they get five stars because they nail it on all points!

We ordered the Rancher for the wife, the kids pancakes for the daughter, and the chicken fried steak breakfast for myself. Delicious.

We received our drinks right away, and although we didn't time it, felt like it only took 5 minutes to receive our food.

I called ahead…read moreto make sure they were open late, and when I arrived just before midnight, they were still serving drinks and didn't close until around 1:00 a.m. The service was decent, especially considering there was only one bartender working. There were fewer than 20 people inside, and it had a true hole-in-the-wall neighborhood bar vibe that seemed popular with locals. It was the closest bar to the airport that I could find open that late, which made it a convenient stop during my layover. Unfortunately, they didn't serve food, so I ended up heading back to the airport and buying something from the vending machines after going through security. Overall, it's a good option if you're looking for a late-night drink near the airport, just don't expect a food menu. I gave it 3 stars only because no late night food and wasn't really busy. Also, side note: I was sitting at the bar, but there was a table behind me with a group of people in their 20s who were really loud and annoying.

The fries have some really good seasoning on them which made them stand out otherwise they would've been ordinary fries. We got the wings really fast and our food too!

The experience at this restaurant is weird. Show up at 11am…read more- you'll have a line out the door. That is understandable, as it's peak brunch time. You talk to the front desk, and they'll tell you there's an hour wait if you don't have a reservation. You look around and see open tables. You think: "that's odd". You check on the website and it says you can get a reservation for 15, 30, and 45 minutes from now. You select a reservation for 15 minutes from now, and magically there isn't an hour wait for you anymore. You note the still open tables and the line not moving. The restaurant is very loud. They're doing late 2010's industrial chic with not a soft surface in site and garage doors, so everybody's conversation bounces around indefinitely. You wait a while for a server to come. I find the way the food looks when it arrives is always different than the way it sounds when you read the menu - sometimes for better, and sometimes for worse. The coffee and bar menu is pretty decent for a brunch place. Prices are on the high end, though some are more reasonable than others. Then you get hit with a 3% credit card fee which isn't adequately disclosed on the menu or when you enter the restaurant.
