    French toast

    I can't even describe how amazing the French toast was! The flavors of every dish I've had there so far are beyond measure! They're so sweet and friendly, it's really like an extended kitchen outside of home!

    What an amazing hole in the wall! Service was beyond incredible and the classic diner food is exactly what I was hoping for. Just no thrills 5 star classic breakfast. Cannot go wrong here. They will take care of you and you will leave happy and full. Plenty of parking, no wait, we will definitely be back. Hope we can keep this spot our little secret ;)

    Let's start with it is really small and quaint. The owners are awesome, nice, and attentive. Like having a private chef. The menu is decent for the size of the place. They serve a full breakfast and lunch. My two colleagues and I sent for a late breakfast, and all chose breakfast as opposed to the lunch. All three of us ended up with pancakes, but different styles, all had two eggs (different styles), and I had bacon the others links. We all agreed it was really good and hit the spot. Our only knocks were that they have 1 more table than needed in the restaurant, which causes it to feel crowded.

    Located this place on Yelp for breakfast and it didn't disappoint. Welcomed in the door, immediate drink order and arrival, and the friendliest service throughout the entire meal. Ordered the diced ham and eggs which came with a side of hash browns and toast. All of it was wonderful! (I would suggest putting the eggs and ham over the hash browns and smothering it all with gravy as a new dish on the menu. Just my crazy idea, but I think it would be a hit!) I left full having really enjoyed a great breakfast, and next time I want to try the Baconator cakes. Just didn't have room on this visit. Great little friendly breakfast place with great food and great service!

    Loved this little hole-in-the-wall spot for breakfast! It's family-owned and run, and you can really feel the warm, welcoming vibe. Lots of regulars, which is always a good sign. We went for breakfast and had the French toast, sausage, eggs, and bacon. The French toast was a standout--super light and not too sweet, just perfect. The service was great too, really friendly and made us feel right at home. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

Had a sister's brunch today and the celebrant sister chose Hope Breakfast Bar. Another sister and I were like darn, it was the choice lowest on the list for both of us. But on our drive there, we decided we'd both try something that we typically wouldn't try to see if it changed our views. I tried the breakfast sandwich. It was decent, not anything I'd ever crave. The bacon overpowered everything else, even the everything bagel! She did the egg farm grazer which was vegetables and quinoa topped with an egg. She said it was fine as well. Both of our meals were on par with previous experiences. Our two other sisters chose some sort of waffle. One was the hope waffle which was good, standard waffle with fruit. The other was chicken and waffles, the taste is decent but the portion was surprisingly large! 4 pieces of chicken with the waffle! As we finished with our meals, I was happy that we weren't disappointed with our food, so that was a win! But they watch your time so carefully. The moment we were sitting for 90 mins on the dot, they asked us to go. So if you're looking for a place to catch up with someone, don't let it be here!

My dinner was especially good....the chicken fried perfectly...all dark meat the way I like it. The potato salad was not what I expected but I was pleasantly surprised. I'm used to a mayo based potato salad but this was even better with lots of flavor! The corn was also delicious. Everyone was very happy with their dinners. The chicken and waffle dish was also good. Ratio of breading to chicken was perfect and perfectly seasoned. The honey butter that came with it was also delicious. The New Orleans shrimp bowl was great too. The ratio of shrimp, which was perfectly cooked, to rice was good. Lots of great flavor. I think that everyone in our party enjoyed what they ordered. The only "ding" would be the service. We had to ask for silverware so we could eat and had to wait for straws because she forgot. I'm still going to give it 5 stars even though the service was lacking a bit. She was very nice but seemed rushed.

    What a disappointment today. Party of 4 to celebrate a birthday. I suggested the restaurant and was…read morequite surprised by how drastically different this visit was compared to the previous. I ordered the Social salad. It was good but the presentation was trash. I also got a cup of the She - Crab soup. It was also just okay and certainly overpriced. Husband got the Pork Belly Burnt Ends at my suggestion. He asked if they had sauce added to them and if so, to get it on the side. Our server said they are prepared and the sauce caramelizes so no, no sauce. He asked due to being a type 1 diabetic and needed to calculate his insulin. Well, they came out covered in fresh sauce and were too dry to swallow. There were six chewed up bits of pork left on his plate when it was cleaned away. The Texas toast was the only redemption. Lastly the two others shared the half bird entree. Presentation was haphazard and the chicken was visually dry looking. They ate most of it and said the biscuit and sweet potatoes were good. The food alone wasn't bad enough to keep me away; but combining it with the service was. Our server Laura (sp?) didn't make her debut well after we've been sitting 10 minutes. We were there at 5:30 on Sunday. It wasn't busy at all. She was very nice. Her second stop was to take our orders. Food runner came and asked if we needed anything else. I asked for water as my glass was bone dry (I even ate my ice) and others' were 1/4-1/3 full. She said she couldn't bring beverages. It's water...not vodka. Weird. So Laura eventually comes back and filled our drinks and left the bill. She did overhear the birthday happenings and was nice enough to offer a free dessert. She got her cash payment and we never saw her again. Maybe it was the end of her shift? It just felt off. The table next to us had quite a few complaints and had a different server, so maybe there was just a bad vibe with the staff today? Hopefully management can figure it out. Bathrooms were nice and decor was nice throughout the restaurant.

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.

Solid start. Then came my entrée, the Mediterranean chicken. And let me tell you... those tomatoes were not behaving. They tasted like they took a wrong turn on the way from the garden and picked up some strange personality along the way. They looked sad and faded like they'd just been told their vacation got canceled. The rest of the dish tried its best, but the tomatoes were such little troublemakers that the whole thing landed at a 5/10 for me. Not bad, not great, just "yeah... that happened." They took our order and they delivered our food just fine. Prompt. I think the ambiance is decent there, although it would be nice not to get seated in the middle of the room.
