    We love Grain & Grog! Everything we've eaten there has been delicious and they have great cocktails. They also have a lot of beer options. Their portions are big and we have yet to try something we didn't like.

    Bottom line - the 3.5 star yelp ratings is really unfair. This is solidly a 4* and maybe that's the problem. The food was excellent! It was Flavorful, unique, and well presented. The beer was cold and they had many many great local options. The cocktail menu was amazing. Service was as expected for the area. The restaurant was casual. But here's the thing their prices are way too high...about 20-30% too high for what the food is. And here in lies the problem the perception of value is lost. The salad in the picture was $15, add a $8drink, and tip your meal is over $30 for a lunch salad. Get a second drink you are nearing $45. The value was missing for the price point. Even though the food was good. Let's bring it home...when you have the price that high you have to generate the perception of value. So the very solid 4* can't get a 5* and gets dragged down by a few annoying posts.

    Monte cristo. One of few places that does this correctly. Scrumptious.

    Glad I got to make it here as there's been a lot of buzz about this place. Grain & Grog did not disappoint and both Jessie, the owner and Ryan provided exceptional service. Poutine was off the hook and everything was delicious. My Monte cristo was one of the best I have had in a while and their mac & cheese was superb. More importantly, Grain & Grog is filling a void by being Gainesville's new farm-to-table restaurant.

    Good food, atmosphere, friendly bartenders. They care about their craft and how they do things.. impressed and delighted. To bad they are 3 hours away from home. They are tucked away in a shopping center but worth the search and find. Will be back again when coming through from DC

    Recommendations from the NoVa Foodies Group did not disappoint. Dinner at Grain & Grog was excellent. Service was on point. Atmosphere was laid back. Will definitely visit again!

We are from Seattle so thrilled for the Seahawks! They simply dominated this whole season and especially last night! Keep up the good work, boys! This place is very nice has lots of overhead tv with a large dance hall and prominent stage for bands to play. Service or lack their of a definite issue especially at checkout, I gave a good tip and I said thank you, the staff did not even acknowledge-we were so happy with our experience- both watching the game and the band-but definitely dampened by the unfriendly staff at checkout. What's with the ´titude? We did not order food. We ate at UJ before coming here. When we arrived-place was full-and then this nice gentleman offered to share the extra chairs in his table which was really kind-it did set the great mood & vibe but not by the staff workers but rather of the good patrons to this place-and yes, drinks my hubby had were pricey $24 each time, he was charged 8 drinks so not sure about that-oh well, it was a fun night-well worth game watching the Seahawks play against SF and seeing the Reflex at the same time! Simply overload of joy!

    BLUF: it's what you'd expect from a chain restaurant with a large menu. Good but not great…read more Four of us went for dinner before a concert at Jiffy Lube. We ordered the steak dinner, avocado egg roll appetizer, and wings. The steak came out well done even though we'd asked for medium rare. The vegetables that came with it were overcooked and a bit too mushy. The flavor was okay. The avocado appetizer was a bit bland, but it was also very mushy. It needed something inside it texturally to add some element of chewiness to it. The dipping sauce that came with it did help with the flavor quite a bit. The wings were well cooked, not too crispy and not dried out. They actually must have come right out of the fryer because they were incredibly hot when I got them, and the waiter did warn me about that. I had them with the dry rub which was quite flavorful. The service was okay. I think we waited a bit too long for the appetizer to come out and to have water refilled. The server himself was friendly. I would recommend making a reservation if you're going on a weekend. I was very surprised how crowded it was and there was a line waiting to get a table the entire time we were there.
