I have been going to the Granary for many years, from its time as a steakhouse to high-end dining, and then to a more casual, sports-bar sort of place. The service has always been excellent, the staff are friendly, and it has one of the best patios in Billings. However, it has become one of the most expensive restaurants in Billings, for the quality and quantity of food served. A friend and I ate there last week, and after two Manhattans and two entrees, the bill came to almost $200.00 without the tip. I went home hungry and fix something to eat at home. read more

The spinach & bread appetizer was great as well as the BLT ordered by a friend. The chicken sandwich was a pressed patty on Texas toast. The patty was thin, flavorless, and dry. Especially for $22. Service was great also. But stay away from the chicken sandwich! A McChicken is far superior! read more

Nice atmosphere. Large circular bar area. Seated promptly. Very pleasant and attentive watron. Food all well prepared. Not one single bad thing to report. Pricing is reasonable especially considering the portions and quality. Definitely recommend. read more

A little higher on the budget scale, but I think it's worth it. Staff is friendly and professional. The food was so good! With so many chains these days, the Granary genuinely felt fresh and homemade. Good date night spot. read more

Stopped by for dinner after hearing they had a new chef. Wow! What a great meal! Vegetarian friends don't be put off by their menu, there is always a vegetarian option and best part is it changes so always something different to experience. Great spot and even though it's winter the patio is a great spot for warmer months. Excited for another night out and to see what Chef Megan has in store. read more

The Granary - Vegetarian romanesco steak special with pumpkin purée. - American Near Me - Billings, Montana

One of the worst meals I've had in Billings to date. The appetizer listed as "chicken dumplings" turned out to be freezer burned commercial gyozas that we lukewarm and leathery. The entree I settled on, after being told that they were out of the bone in pork chop and all the steaks, was the baked airline chicken breast. That poor, poor chicken... Firstly, at $30 it was ridiculously small and being over cooked didn't help; dry and flavorless. Accompanying was a thin smear of potato puree that was way over salted, and sauteed asparagus that was a vegetable crime scene, way over salted and peppered, mixed sizes so a few of the spears were al dente but the small thinner spears were verging on mush. The kitchen has no idea of how to execute the menu and should go back to McDonalds where the cuisine would match their skill set. The service was attentive and I felt so sorry for my waitress, she deserved a better product to serve. The bar did a quite adequate job with my martini and the wine list, though small, was interesting and varied. I'd go back for cocktails. It is a very nice, up scale and comfortable space, it's a pity that their kitchen's abilities are more suited to a greasy spoon. read more

We had our first meal here and really liked the ambiance and friendly service. The giant pretzel and mussel appetizer were excellent! Unfortunately, the main courses were hit or miss. The French fries that came with three of our entrees were cold and soggy, and even the kids commented on it. My daughter's steak was tasty, but my bone-in pork chop was dry and served over leeks that weren't very enjoyable. For the price, I expected a bit more substance -- maybe a starch or side that complemented the dish better. read more

Just come for dessert. My parents took my husband and I out to dinner at the Granary. Our server, Kim was very friendly and has a great laugh. She gave us great service and her fun personality just shined. My husband and Dad ordered the Paella, which was just ok. It didn't have much flavor and only a few pieces of seafood. I ordered the Nicois salad, which was brought to me without the ahi tuna - the kitchen staff let me know this was her mistake & that she would get my tuna out right away (which she did). My salad also seemed to be missing the dressing on it so just didn't quite taste right. Mom had the Louis salad, which she enjoyed. We ordered a nice Pinot Grizzio, which went well with all our entrees. Our server Kim ordered bread to be delivered to our table, but the kitchen did not bring it so she gave us a dessert on the house due to the serving errors. We had what I would call a s'mores charcuterie, which was more than enough for all four of us to share. The dessert was home made fluff served with graham crackers, Oreo crumbles and white & choc. chips. It was delicious & one of the most creative dessert I've ever had. There is definitely room for improvement on the food. The prices are far too expensive for what you get & flavor of the food (with the exception of our dessert). Kim gets four stars for service and the rest of the staff was friendly. I enjoyed looking at all the old of photos on the walls and liked the ambiance. Just come for dessert & a drink. read more

Good food, atmosphere and service. Personally, I'd like to see some more choices on their dinner menu but I recommend it anyway. In the summer, they also have a great patio. read more

I'm pretty sure they forgot to make my order and then set the other plates under a heat lamp. Absolutely disgusting for the prices they charge. read more

We have ate here a few times. Beautiful restaurant. Love the decor and customer service. Every time we go, there is no one there. The menu looks delicious. But everytime we go we get nasty tasting dish or two. Took my boss and his family there. They kept sending their food back. They finally just didn't eat it. It was so embarrassing. The restaurant has potential, sad the meals couldn't be presented as described. read more

Great service, ambience, and food. This was such a relaxing experience for me, our server was attentive, the food was very good, and the environment is pretty, calm, and allows for a relaxing lunch where we were able to take our time and enjoy good conversation. read more

my wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary at this restaurant. I unfortunately left my sunglasses on the table and realized once I got back to the hotel that I left my glasses and when I went back, the restaurant was closed so since July 8, I've tried to call them at least 15 times and emailed them twice. I've been on hold for at least 2 1/2 hours over the last 15 attempts to call them I've emailed them nobody ever returns my emails nor does anybody ever answer the phone, I will never go back to this restaurant. Their service sucks. I do take responsibility for leaving my but was hoping that somebody would have at least called me to let me know that they had saved them, but I am assuming at this point that somebody at the restaurant probably just gained $150 pair of sunglasses..... very disappointed with the unfortunate poor professionalism by this establishment. FYI don't leave anything at this restaurant because they'll take it and never call you back nor will they ever answer your emails. read more

Confused - had dinner here - things were quite mixed. Service was slow, but we suspect a server had let them down and not shown up. The waitress needed quite some alerting to attend to us. Entrees were a mixed bag. Sprouts were delicious. Paella seemed to have been cooked by a confused person who likely has never visited Spain. Instead of a saffron yellow a brown tasteless porridge made up mainly of peas (not mentioned on the menu) was produced. Chorizo was allegedly included - but Poirot would have been needed to investigate the traces to affirm it was present (the taste surely was not). The wine offering was good - ordering a Napa Cab resulted in similar random results. A decent central California cab was produced but not a Napa Cab as ordered.. This restaurant seems to be run by a schizophrenic poorly travelled chef who will arbitrarily replace or add ingredients. Ultimately seemed like a casino for food. Roll the dice - maybe you'll be lucky!! read more

I had the privilege of going to dinner with my family there last week. We had a wonderful experience from the very get-go. The presentation of the food was outstanding and very creative. The food was exceptionally tasteful, and the portions were great. The server was very friendly and met all of our needs. I want to tip my hat off to chef Megan for a wonderful dining experience!

The Granary has the best patio in town so I was excited it was cool enough to eat outside. Was a little disappointed in the upkeep of the patio - needed a good hose down on the ground and tables. That said the server was wonderful and very patient. The oysters and crab legs were excellent according to my husband (I don't eat sea bugs). My hummus was a little bland but still ok and the naan was really good. A but pricey but not horrid. read more

Food is delicious, the beer is cold and there are fun cocktails on the menu. I love the patio!

This place was a mixed bag. Went there for lunch. The tuna tostadas were great. The pasta was ok. Had good flavor, noodles were just ok. Pretty pricy. My wife had the gyro, which the meat was very good, they're was just no toppings you usually find on a gyro. Don't get the Bloody Mary, was not good. read more

Food was adequate, at best. Service was very poor. Waited nearly 5 minutes atb the hostess stand for someone to seat us. After we were seated our waitress came by to drop off menus then disappeared for over 10 minutes. When she finally returned we ordered then after another unreasonably long wait she brought out the food. Both dishes were bland and forgettable. I needed more dressing for my salad as the amount provided was very small. I had to go track down our waitress to get more dressing as she never came back to the table. Extremely underwhelmed in every way. I will not be going back. read more

Oh sooo disappointed! Sunday eve 4 of us about 5:45 for dinner. Food was not good, not hot, not flavorful & service was slow...& it was not busy in the dining room where we were or the adjacent bar area. Prices are too high for quality of food/service. Won't be back for winter season... read more

The food was amazing. My dad and I shared the Big A** Pretzel and their steak special. Both were amazing. The pretzel was fluffy, buttery, and absolutely delicious. The steak had a beautiful crust and great flavor. Plus the broccolini and mashed potatoes great fabulous! read more

Good food and atmosphere with exceptionally slow service. We have had 3 poor experiences in a row. Last week, it took over 2 hours for our meal of burgers and salads to make it to the table. Our expensive wine was gone an hour before our food. For the trouble, we received a free dessert. We had a similar experience the prior time we tried dinner. Staff forgot to put our order in, so we waited 2.5 hours for meals. I sent an email to management with my concerns, and they have not responded. I would recommend spending your hard earned money elsewhere that values customer service and communication. read more

Paige served us at the bar, great service! She recommended the Fuschia 'Round (and find out). It was perfect, she deserves a raise! Great ambiance, love the decor. We will be back! read more

My wife and I celebrated her birthday here on 9/12 we had a 5 PM reservation for two. The food was excellent as was the staff, we were enjoying our time in this quiet part of the restaurant. There were two ladies next to us who were also enjoying their wine etc. Then came a gaggle of females who right off the bat were very loud and obnoxious. The noise got so loud the two ladies next to us picked up their silverware/ wine and moved to another table exclaiming to us that it was difficult to have a conversation and we agreed. During this time more and more feral females came in to join the rest of the obnoxious bunch. We could have enjoyed it more and stayed longer but one can only take so much so the wife and I left. My compliments to the staff whom had to deal with such filth, I hope they got a good tip. As for me and my wife we'll not return to this establishment and we definitely will not recommend this establishment to friends and family. They can keep their clientele of ferals... My only recommendation to the proprietor would be to start addressing such behavior so that all guests have a peaceful and enjoyable time with their family and friends when they do support your establishment. read more

Food and service were excellent. However - I ordered a mocktail and was served a regular cocktail. After taking a sip, I verified with the waitress that there was no alcohol in the drink, and she confirmed. Several minutes later the bartender came by, profusely apologizing, saying that there was alcohol in the drink. I haven't had an alcoholic drink in 8 years, and I am also pregnant. So I was pretty upset by the whole thing. Just be very wary if ordered a non-alcoholic beverage. read more
