Free Meals for Kids During Minnesota School Closure at Minneapolis and St. Paul Restaurants | Eater Twin Cities

"I learned they’re offering kids free turkey sandwiches, applesauce, and chips—just ask for a manager." - Joy Summers

Great place for food and drinks. My session IPA was really good. Pretzel sticks appetizer was good; we loved the mustard and beer cheese dipping sauces. The Nashville Hot Chicken and Dill Flatbread was good; the Nashville hot chicken was pretty mild in heat. The Asian Chicken Salad was great! Full of flavor and loaded with toppings. Portions were huge, so bring your appetite!

Went there for the buffet style brunch. The food was delicious & a good variety to choose. However there were flies on the fruits and cocktail shrimps. Service was good, however spoons or stirs were not available to mix sugar/cream in our coffee.

Pretty generic bar and grill atmosphere. Free beer tasting. The ones I tried were okay. Service was good. Prompt but chill. Mostly chicken and fish. Specials seem interesting. Margarita was strong.

We went for the Thanksgiving buffet. This is one of the more “reasonable” options in the area at $35/person. The food was okay. The turkey in the buffet was served already covered in gravy, no option if you aren’t a fan. Other than a green salad and cranberry sauce, all of the side dishes were starches or high in fat (looking at you green bean casserole). Serving trays were frequently empty without staff to refill. The plates were appetizer size, not meal size, this was frustrating when hoping to sample multiple things. Staff were on hand for drink orders, but glasses were not refilled - made that $3 soda feel like a rip off. Our semi large group was seated at a long table making it hard to chat. With tax and tip, (and soda). This ended up being closer to $50/person. Not sure it was worth it.

After Orland Park closed it had been a few years since we decided to go back to Granite City. Three of us had the Prime Sandwich which was good, but the fries were WAY over salted. After I had my last fry I had a 22 oz beer and 1 hour later I was still tasting salt and I had only eaten 1/3 of my fries. The jambalaya was also over salted unfortunately. Also the side of Sweet Potato fries was very small and for 4.50 that they charge I would recommend skipping that item. The picture in this review is before 1 fry was removed. Our server was very attentive and on point with refills and asking if we needed anything else. I may try it again in the future, but for now the salt left a bad taste in all of our mouths.

Brunch was terrible today. French toast was hard. Empty bins. Limp salad. Cold ravioli. The only good thing was the make your own omelet. Definitely not worth $28. Won't return.

Top Notch Service. Best restaurant we've been to in awhile! Cameron was a great waiter. The beer is delicious, get a Northern. Flying monkey is great if cocktails are more your speed. Meatloaf was out of this world, the kid loved his pasta, and the flatbread left me wondering why I dont order that more often. Will come back when near Naperville. Also, green beans were the bomb dot com.

Pretty solid brewery with a good menu. Pretty standard pub fair with some of the salad and seafood selection that I'd expect of a good chain place. Beers were good, and there was a nice selection of different types and flavor profiles available. Service was great as well, very nice and quick as well. Out of the nearby larger restaurants I'd go to this one first.

Amazing service and staff! Ashley was a great bartender. The Sunday brunch is YUMMY!! And the omelette station with Monica cooked one of the best omelettes I've ever had!

Not into buffet lines. This is my only exception. Sunday brunch was truly enjoyable. The omelette creator cooks as love of a family. Very comfy.

Our second girls night at Granite City and it was better than last time. The bartender still needs a personality and needs to try and make the customers feel welcome. (Our last experience was the same). But this time our server was different and much better. His name is Sam and dealt with us ladies and made us feel welcome! Flatbreads were great! $4 pints and $6 apps were our jam tonight!

We came in from out of town (Orange County, CA) and stayed at a nearby hotel. This was our first time visiting Granite City, and we were so lucky to have Lalaine as our server. She was absolutely phenomenal, super attentive, kind, personable, and really knew her stuff when it came to the beers! She made us feel so welcome and taken care of. Her great energy and top-notch service were such a standout that we're literally coming back tomorrow just because of her! Thank you, Lalaine. We will definitely be back again!

Nice dining option in Naperville. We ordered the seasonal special turkey dinner and patty melt on a gluten free bun. They were very flexible with food allergies and service was good. The atmosphere was also a plus. Thank you

We've been to Granite City a few times now and the experience has been consistent every time. The atmosphere is really nice and the food has been excellent. We can't say enough about the Menu and the Quality of the entrees. BUT the Service leaves much to be desired.It's been from almost being ignored to an attitude of by being seated in a section, the server seeming to be upset he had to work. On our last visit I asked about a new item on the menu which our server then raved about, so I ordered it. When the server returned to ask how it was, I stated that it was good but not really to my liking. Attitude that followed was as if I had personally insulted him. We were ignored the rest of our time. Our table wasn't bussed as we finished and when we asked for the check, we waited over 15 minutes to get it. BTW, Granite City was not busy at the time our server only had 2 other tables. We will return due to excellent entrees and pricing, but truly wish management would learn how to hire and train its servers. As a note, I come from the Restaurant business and truly understand busyness, new employees, and back of the house.

I didn't think it was anything special. It was okay but the tap is all craft beer. I had Cajun pasta that was pretty good. It was walking distance from the hotel, that alone is worth a star.

The theme of my review for Granite City is dry. First of all, we frequent a place right across the lot from this place and I've noticed it a few times. I've always been confused by the name, because you think of a stone slab / home goods type of a shop, rather than a restaurant. It does say Food & Brewery right in the name, but I'm just saying it threw me off every time I looked over. I was in the mood for a burger, so we decided to swing by one day and try something new. Now, first of all I'll add a blurb that it's kind of sad that most of the burger places have stopped doing some kind of real veggie burger and they just do Impossible or Beyond meat patties. It's kind of an easy-way-out for them. Good that they offer a vegetarian option, but I just wish some of them put a little more effort into it. So the place inside is really nice. Huge space with huge bar, huge kitchen, etc. It's definitely a great spot in terms of decor, ambiance, etc. We were there at like... 1pm on a Saturday and it was very very quiet. Maybe 4-5 tables occupied out of ~50. So anyway, the server was friendly and helped the 2 of us keep our order in the limit. Apparently they have a massive nacho dish, which is appropriately called a tray, but it sounds like if we had order that to start, we never could have even dented that thing. So we ended up not doing it. So the dryness. My impossible burger with pretzel bun was so so dry. First, they burned the bun. It was literally burnt on the bottom and I tasted the burnt char in every bite. Then the impossible pattie itself was very very dry. Almost as if it wasn't fresh, or something like that. Probably just over-cooked, the same as the bun. Then the side of fries. Again... SO dry. In this case, I think fries are dry if they were fried probably a long time ago. I mean, we were there at a normal time. I don't think 1pm is too far off the standard lunch time, so I wouldn't say that was an issue. But it was kind of quiet in the place, so maybe that's why? I don't know why, but they were really dried out. The other person had this avocado grilled cheese, which was more avocado than cheese, but it seemed to be OK. So in summary, good place, good enough service, but I wouldn't recommend the food - at least not the veggie food items we tried this time. I'm sure they have their specialties and do a better job at those. Thanks and you'll always be a stone's throw away from "my spot".

This was an interesting dining experience. Our server was a flop. It started right off the bat when I ordered the simplest of drinks from the bar (literally vodka on the rocks). He came back twice to check the order (he didn't write it down and forgot 10 steps away). When he did bring the drink out it was the goofiest glass imaginable for it. I ordered a tall, I think the bartender thought that meant I wanted a glass that was greater in elevation than was normal. Not bright at all. The food was mediocre. The burger was overcooked, for a medium rare it had zero pink. The fries were the best part of the meal. Skip this location and try another option in the neighborhood. Lousy service, meh food.

I dined here 2 nights in a row. First night ordered the maple pepper bacon flat bread & it was outstanding. 2nd night, the Nashville spicy flat bread. Also, outstanding. I had given up on flatbreads a couple of years ago because none of them anywhere else were very good. GC nailed both. I will be back to sample other things on menu. A shout out to our sweet, efficient bartender, Ashley, too. Kudos to the chefs!!!

I've never had such a peculiar dining experience before. My mother-in-law was visiting from Florida, and with the Stanley Cup Finals Game 6 between Florida and Edmonton on, we decided to head out to watch the game. After ordering our drinks, we were informed that the TV system wasn't functioning properly and that all the screens were stuck on one channel, which happened to be the Cubs game. Feeling disappointed, we decided it was best to leave since there were five other places in the same lot to choose from. Although our drinks were full, we wanted to settle our tab and head out. I went to ask the manager for assistance, but she ignored me for about 12 minutes. I then asked the bartender to send her over, but she continued to overlook us for another 8 minutes. I even approached a random server for help, but to no avail. Finally, I asked our server--who was very nice and apologetic--to have the manager come over. When she finally did arrive, she had a poor attitude, dismissed our concerns about the TV issue, and told us to just close out our tab and leave. All we wanted was to leave without having to pay for drinks we didn't want, especially since the game was about to start. After being ignored for a solid 15 minutes by a manager who seemed out of her depth, I felt compelled to write this review. To be fair, the other establishment we walked to mentioned that their TV issues had been ongoing for a long time. It's clear that some serious management issues need addressing. Overall, our experience was frustrating, and we won't be returning.

We came for brunch with a group and had reservations for two months prior. The brunch itself was good. I'd recommend giving it a try. There's things I've had better:the prime rib. I had a fresh one and it was cut in half and I took the middle (it was offered) and it was over cooked for my taste. More well done and I prefer medium rare. I thought the biscuits and gravy were nice soft and the gravy added a nice flavor. The veggies and fruits were really good as well. We had the infinite mimosas which are actually a bottle and assorted juices. My grievance more so comes from the fact that we were half way through our mimosas and told there's another party so we need to leave. Everything was bagged up quickly and I had to go to the bar to finish the mimosa I had just poured. What started out as a relaxing Sunday visiting friends and catching up that I hadn't seen for months was cut abruptly short. I've worked in the restaurant industry and I would never shoo guests out during their meal. I absolutely understand holidays and special occasions have time limits and I'm always mindful of that when told upfront. But I'm not even sure I was done eating. So for $100 for two with tip i'd be weary. There's better options out there.

My wife and I decided to have an early dinner there on a Friday evening and were promptly seated. While fending off a few gnats floating around our table we ordered their juicy india pale ale and the summer special shandy. The shandy apparently was not carbonated (I think it was intended to be) and the IPA was the most god-awful beer I have had lately. I then thought I'd try my luck with the pale ale but had the same result. I know beer is somewhat subjective, but I am a homebrewer and know my beer and this was bad beer. I am not sure it was to the level of being the result of dirty beer lines, but it was not good. That wasn't the worst part: the service for a place that was not at all busy was non-existent and our waiter seemed not to care if we were taken care of. There seemed to be plenty of wait staff. It takes a lot for my wife to want to get up and leave, but get up and leave we did. What a crappy experience we had. I would really like to support this place but between the terrible beer and the lethargic service, that won't be happening.

Went on Friday with my husband early, so not too busy yet. The specials menu had some seafood choices that were excellent and specially priced. Our server was attentive and worked hard to make sure we enjoyed our visit. The shrimp and grits was excellent and the fish and chips, which is on the regular menu, was great too!

Jane S.

Yelp
The service and ambiance very nice. Food was average. I ordered the meatloaf which consisted of a pre-formed obviously frozen meat patty with no seasoning whatsover it was awful served over cold mashed potatoes and stale onion ring straws- all served cold while my partner had a pipping hot chicken pot pie which he said was good we dine out often and this will not be on our rotation. Expensive for food quality (and wine) not a good value or overall good experience

I had my order delivered to my hotel. The delivery guy didn't knock on the door. So, the food sat for almost 20 minutes before I realized it had been delivered. No update in the app. No fork, knife, or napkins in the bag. I had to go down to the lobby to get utensils...You'd think for $40+ I could have a fork. The food was pretty good. I would not recommend getting delivery from this place.

Went to the restaurant for their Lawless Brunch on Mother's day. The brunch was set up buffet style and offered $15 bottles of champagne, which came with 3 different types of juices (orange, cranberry, and pineapple). Also brought to the table were cinnamon rolls and water extremely fast. They offered different items from cold shrimp to omelet station, craving station, breakfast items like sausage and bacon and more. They kept the food coming out quickly.

Have been here a handful of times now and each time food and service have been great. Today came with a friend and we sat at a high top by the bar. I wanted to watch golf and asked if they could put it on one of the TV's and they immediately put it on. Was very nice of them. Our server Amy was great. She clearly had a lot of tables and was working her butt off. Yet gave us her full attention when she was with us. Food was so good. I have never had an avocado grilled cheese sandwich before and would come back just for it! Huge fan!

My Bride and I haven't been back to Granite City since this same time last year. Our first experience was for my 50th HS Reunion brunch. This time, the food and service were identical to our first visit. Exemplary What I cannot understand is why this restaurant was not crowded. Food: Flawless Service: Impeccable Price: Unbelievablely reasonable.

Went for brunch. The service far outshined the food (temperature of the food was off, but tasted ok). Definitely recommend this place for the atmosphere and service. We were one of several large groups and have no complaints on the service at all. Almost don't want to recommend this gem for fear it'll be difficult to get a table, but will do it any because everyone deserves to know how good it is.

Last evening, my wife and I ordered a flatbread with bacon starter to go with our beer. Half way through our starter, I bit into a penny size chunk of plastic wrapper in my mouth. I spitted it out, showed to our server, who duly reported to the manager. The manager at the Naperville Granite City did not have the courtesy to come to our table and apologize. Furthermore, the Jambalaya my wife ordered was highly salty, so also my French fries which my server changed out. I am not sure how many smaller plastic bits we may have ingested last evening. We have been to this place several times before but this was a truly bad experience. We are surely not going back there again.

I loved the listing on Orland Park, IL, which used to have. Cane to this Naperville, IL for the first time, and I was very disappointed. We ordered the appetizer of Idaho fries. There was barely any shredded cheese on it, and what there was on there, only half was melted. They put all the toppings on the center even though they serve it on a small cookie sheet pan. Too much only had a tiny bit of melted cheese that was not in the center. I also ordered a cup of onion soup. Imagine a really cup of onion soup, water it down, and put cheese on top, but don't put it under the broiler, so it is nice and toasty. For dinner, I ordered the Chicken Tuscano. It was very flavorful. Unfortunately, the chicken alone did not make up for the other items nor the lack of attention from the waiter. One another employee brought us our entrees we did not see him for a long time. Empty water glasses and our look of waiting did not draw his attention either.

Stopped in for dinner and a beer with a coworker. I was happy they had a couple gluten-free options I could order. I had the Mediterranean Chicken entree, and the overall flavor was good but the chicken was a bit over cooked & tough in places, and the rice wasn't completed cooked (most of the rice was fine, but there were grains in each bite that were hard and under cooked). The grilled asparagus my meal came with was cooked perfectly. My coworker had one of the flatbreads and he said it was just okay and not really what he expected based on the menu description. He also ended up eating the flatbread with a fork because it was impossible to pick it up and eat it by the slice without all the toppings sliding off. Their beer selection on tap was okay with about 8 beers, but we were disappointed they didn't have any stouts or porters on tap, as we prefer dark beers. We ended up ordering their Bock style beer, and that was very good. The service was friendly and quick. It was quite chilly in the restaurant, though, (it was 5:30p in January) and we ended up putting our jackets back on while we ate).

I have to say that Granite City has never let me down. We had family in and being able to make a reservation for dinner on a Friday night could be exciting, but Granite City was exceedingly awesome. Great seating for four adults and one kid. Great service, drinks and a shared maple bacon flatbread. Our order went smoothly, service was timely,and the food was awesome. We were there for almost three hours and my nephew took five chocolate chip cookies with icecream back to where his sister's kids could have something special too. Thanks Granite City for a great dinner and relaxing time.

Customer service here is poor. Long wait to be seated. When we finally were, the hostess didn't have menus. I looked around for her and she wasn't bringing menus, she was off seating other people. So I had to chase her down for menus. Then before we ordered, our waitress told us our food would be really slow as brunch was still going and the kitchen had to focus on that instead of individual orders. That was the last straw. We went elsewhere.

Family favorite--come on Wednesday night for their $11.99 pasta + salad + unlimited garlic bread special. The cajun pasta is always creamy and flavorful with so much sausage, and the BBQ chicken flatbread is a favorite for the kids. The Monday deals for the $6 slider and specialty beers is always a hit. Wide interior with decent service, but nothing too special.

I had my rehearsal dinner here and from first contact to the very end, they did an outstanding job. The events team was surprisingly quick to respond every single time I reached out. The minimum was far lower than anywhere else I could find in the area for anything even close to comparable. Setting the menu was very easy and we were able to have options for everyone. The service provided was truly outstanding and the servers were extremely attentive, prompt, and flexible, doing their best to make sure it was as positive of an experience as possible. Lastly, everyone raved about how great the food tasted. Their wide variety of options, great service, nice space for an event, and tasty food made the party a hit.

The host was friendly, smiled abs made eye contact, but he forgot silverware and menu for two or the guests. The server was pretty bad- the wait time was long, he was awkward, couldn't remember what he was missing, didn't have a pen, never gave us napkins upon our spill or extra silverware- so we just used spoons. Whenever he ascertained, he said "you okay" which isn't formal enough for a restaurant. He never thanked us at the end, and overall was just awkward and spacey. The burgers were okay, but mine wasn't cooked as asked. The fries were wayyyyy too salty! The kids Mac n cheese was from a Kraft box which I wasn't expecting. The piece of salmon for the kids was impressive as it was a really big portion. Overall, I probably wouldn't come back.

It's a nice atmosphere. It was pretty busy that day and we were able to get a table quickly. My only gripe was the food. It seemed as they just use buffalo sauce as seasoning and flavor. I am not a picky guy and I always feel kind of bad sending food back. 2 items were returned. But this time I had no choice. 2 others were just a waste. We didn't even take it home. Although, the food was not the best I will still try this place again.

I've been going to Granite City in Naperville since they opened. Their beers are good and their food is extremely tasty, but what ties them both together to make an outstanding dining experience is the service provided by Anela. Yes, make sure to note that name and ask for this young lady, ANELA. Anela is service personified. Anela remembers people, she remembers what they order, and she pays A LOT of attention to the feel of the table. She is not the type to be intrusive - far from it. Instead, she reads the table and reacts as needed, there when you require something, but otherwise unobtrusively making sure everything is going well. As for the menu, you pretty much can't go wrong with anything on it. The quality, preparation, and presentation of the food is spot-on, beautifully done. The taste is right where it should be, temperatures perfect, whether you're feasting from the plentiful list of appetizers or the large and diverse main courses. Whatever level of hunger you're at, there is a delicious choice awaiting you on the menu. I've had many servers over my many visits to GC, but Anela really stands out. Managers of Granite City, Naperville? If Anela is not training all new wait & bar staff that you hire, then she *should* be. You need more servers cut from Anela's mold, because she has it nailed, 100%!

First time going in to have a dine-in experience. (We usually order Famous Dave's Ribs and they are only takeout. This review is not about that. ) We happened to get an email about their Friday Night Fish Fry (and it's during Lent). Figured we would give he dine-in experience a try. We did make reservations (it was recommended) and arrived slightly early, however the hostess was friendly and seated us right away. When our server came to the table, she was also pleasant. She suggested an adult beverage which was a special price, so of course we had to order. (Great upsale). We ordered the All you can eat Fish Fry. Our server was back with the beverages in a fairly quick turnaround. Not long after she walked away she'd returned with our food! Whew, it was like the kitchen knew what we were going to order before we got there The restaurant was clean, nice atmosphere and all staff was very pleasant. The food was tasty ( not a fan of the coleslaw). And I loved there were adequate portions of fish and Malt Vinegar brought out without asking. All in all, if you are in the Naperville area stop in. Oh by the way the other food looked delicious as well. We will have to go back for dinner!

They earned two stars because our server was super nice. And, they do have a patio that is dog friendly which is a great feature. With that being said, the food was a miss. Based on prices and pictures, I expected something else. I'm not into super heavy food, and thought I ordered accordingly. The chicken tortilla soup had like 2 small pieces of chicken in it and seemed to be cheese based? It almost reminded me of a queso dip you'd receive with chips or a pretzel. Not horrible in the flavor department, but even a cup was way too heavy to eat. I've never seen this before. I also ordered the Spicy Asian Shrimp. The shrimp were decent and the breading wasn't too heavy. The sauce, however, was seriously sweet. Like corn syrup based sweet and sour sauce with a tiny bit of heat. The slaw they were served with was decent and helped to cut the flavor a bit. But overall, seriously disappointing. I did not sample the beers so maybe they're just better for a drink? Either way, I'd pass. Better options for the money are everywhere in that area.

This places earns a 3 star review but just barely. Got there at 6:45 on Friday. Ordered a few drinks. The server took forever to get the appetizer for our table. The nachos were great. They were a huge portion and very flavorful. I ordered the chicken Cajun pasta and it was pretty good. The food took a while to come out also but the restaurant wasn't busy. The pasta had a ton of flavor and I loved it for leftovers also. My gf got the mahi mahi tacos and they were kind of nasty. They tasted very fishy and smelled very fishy. Not like any mahi mahi we've ever had before. The main problem with this place was the service. I assume the server was new but he left us hanging forever! He would talk by so fast and never get us what we needed. Asked for ketchup, he forgot then we got it 20 mins later. Regardless we asked for the check around 840. He brought out to go containers but forgot the check. After 20 mins I went in to look for him and couldn't find him. Still no check. When it was 930 nearly 50 minutes after asking for the check we just couldn't wait any longer. We dropped cash on the table assuming it would cover the bill. I'm not sure why the service was so bad but they really need to improve, especially for this ritzy area. Kind of sad to see this from such a nice place. Wouldn't recommend.

I was not even aware that this place existed. The places on Freedom Dr. are more well known. You enter off Diehl onto a street that even GPS could not find. However, once it is in sight you will find abundant parking. There is outdoor seating available ~ weather permitting. When you walk in the bar area is directly in front of you. To the right is a separate dining room with access to the outdoor seating. There is seating available in the bar area. We were there on a Friday afternoon and there was no wait. I cannot address the beer menu because we did not come for the beer. We had the warm pretzel appetizer served with two dipping sauces and it was delicious. Soup, some of which are fixed and then the soup of the day ~ very good. We split the cheeseburger slider tower and the chicken sandwich tower. Ample for 3 people with leftovers. My only complaint would be that the fries were cold. Save room for dessert because all selections are delectable. Staff was attentive and very nice. I found it to be clean with nice spacing between tables. Totally enjoyable.

We dined at Granite City in Naperville last weekend. Our server was friendly, the place was spacious, and the food was okay. We ordered the nacho appetizer, which was huge, the Asian shrimp appetizer, the chicken pot pie, fish & chips, and the meatloaf dinner. It was all pretty average. We had gift cards to use so we probably won't go back.

Finally able to get a seat at the bar. It always seems busy. The food was just okay. The best deal was the Happy Hour pitcher. Everything just needed more flavor . . . but plates looked pretty. The staff was very friendly but the service lacked some coordination I think.

Came here Wednesday night for a quick bite to eat before heading to work. It wasn't busy and we got sat right away. I ordered a beyond burger but was so hungry I completely forgot to take a picture. I am a huge fan of beyond burgers so I try them all over restaurants that have them. Greg our server was excellent substituted my bun for lettuce bun,didn't forget my garlic aoli, and remembered my dressing on the side for the side salad I had,all without writing it down. Props to you ! The reason I rate 4 because the restaurant doesn't have many healthy options but that's okay. Besides that the burger was really good and service was excellent .

Completely underwhelming. All food came out ice cold & overcooked. Service did the best she could under the circumstances. Beer was ok not great. Just not a good experience, not professionally managed.
