    Had a nice Greek salad with yummy pita bread. Extensive menu. But get there before 2 as it's breakfast and lunch.

    Yes it does "bite" here. They don't advertise that they have a breakfast buffet but for about…read more$15.00 each that's not much more than some of the limited menu items so we thought we'd give it a try, a mistake. The buffet was also a limited number of items. They were a few minutes late starting it after they opened and everything on it was basically cold. I'll give them barely warm, but that's a far as I will go. I thought maybe the idea was to let the warmers under the pans warm the food to a more edible temp but no that didn't work either. We were there over half an hour and I got another plate just to try a small sampling and nope, the food was no warmer than it first was. One other note anything to drink is NOT included in the buffet price. Expect to pay $2.99 for an iced tea or whatever. I guess in a way it didn't matter because the food served really wouldn't have been any better if it was warmer‍Not in my opinion. Slices of French Toast and mostly cut into 1/4 strips, cold and dried out. Warmed syrup (a plus) no butter to be found, you have to ask for it. Some sort of funky tasting seasoned potatoes. Neither my wife or I cared for the flavor. The biscuits weren't too bad. Some sort of milk gravy with cut up sausage links thrown into it. I say that because it doesn't appear that the gravy is made "from" the sausage as the gravy itself has no flavor, just bland. The sausage patties had an odd flavor. The sausage links were not bad. There was some bacon but we didn't try it. That's about all the buffet is, saw some cut up fruit off to the side. We decided to give it one more try for lunch. Thought it was somewhat unusual for a Saturday that we were the only two people there at 11:30 - 12:30. It still took half an hour to get our food! And ours were not difficult selections. The roast beef for the dip sandwich was well seasoned, I'll give them that. The curly fries though, those were a fail. Mostly over-fried, too hard. I will give them some credit for opening another choice for food selection here because Keller's Express is the only thing they've had for several years now for breakfast or lunch during the day. Unfortunately, this isn't much to solve that problem. It's nothing even close to 22 & Vine at Riverside Casino. Not to me it isn't. I wish the would bring back the full buffet for during the day that they once had. Or just open Keller's full restaurant for during the day.

    We were promptly seated upon arrival around lunchtime, The wait staff was very kind and welcoming…read more The food was so delightful that I can't wait to return and try more! There are many options to choose from. I had the Bock and Cheese pasta, while my partner enjoyed the Millionaire Bacon Burger. Both dishes were phenomenal. The only minor issue was that the burger, ordered medium well, was served medium rare. No big deal. The restaurant was being decorated for the holiday season, which added a fun touch! The space is open and airy, ensuring you don't feel crowded, and it's very clean. The beautiful modern-industrial style is perfect for hosting events. Looking forward to our next meal with you Granite City! Thanks for spicing up our Sunday!

    We stopped in to Granite City as it is right next to our hotel. Easy…read more. A hostess will seat you. No greeting arriving (or departing,) other than "just two?". She was efficient and smiled. Our waitress came over in good time and took a drink order which showed up in very good time. I also asked a menu question which she got the answer to right away. As another reviewer stated it is *cold* in there! I keep a sweater in my bag for this purpose but still, I was cold. 86 outside, 66 inside (at a guess of course). They may keep the air cold to cool down that hot open kitchen. Bring a jacket or sweater. Our food came out in good time. Portions were generous. Plenty of cheese on my burger. I can understand how another reviewer mentioned the food is salty. The burger is mixed w/a GC spice blend that does seem heavy on the salt. At first it was fine, but I couldn't finish my burger. After a while the taste just stuck in my throat and was too much. May want to pull back a bit on the amount of spice blend being added. The crinkle fries were really good. Nice and crispy. My dining comlanion got the buffalo chicken wrap. Plenty of meat, spicy sauce and veg in this wrap. Trouble is the wrap barely holds the filling in and as the sauce makes the wrap wet, it inevitably fell apart. It is very tasty though, and he happily ate it with a knife and fork. Maybe a bigger wrap is available? 'Cause that portion size is excellent. Staff do seem to congregate in the kitchen area with the expediter. As the dining room got busier, we naturally saw less of our waitress but she did check in a few times and was sure to keep the water glass full and offer drink refills. The ladies room really needs a visual make over and deep clean. It does have a bit of a swampy smell. A machine by the sink, that I believe is a dehumidifier, had a light on it blinking "empty". So the tank was full of water? If it had been running, that may have helped with the smell but I don't know. It wasn't offensive, just a humid bathroom smell. The beer is good, as one would hope from a brewery. They have a selection from Irish Red to pilsners. The menu says to ask about sours. The interior is comfortable, casual with a mix of booths and tables. A couple of the booth seats are in serious disrepair (torn/split material exposing the foam cushion) and need to be fixed. A bar with high top tables is on the other side of the hostess stand keeping the areas seperate. A glass wall seperates you from both the brewing tanks on one wall and the kitchen on another wall. Restrooms by kitchen. Plenty of parking in their private lot. Those entry doors (two sets) are *heavy!
