A coworker is a Grind regular, so when we were looking for a place for lunch on our way to the…read moreoutlets, I figured we'd give it a try. And it was an excellent choice! I had a SmashBurger and it was perfect... the right crunch, perfect amount of cheese, and the BBQ sauce was a nice touch. Hubs had the Grind signature burger. He was also pleased but felt it was a little dry. Our friends had the Grinder w/ chicken meatballs and arrabbiata sauce, the Meatball Bowl w/ beef over squash (said the squash was the best thing ever) w/ bacon Gouda, and the Italian Melt (delicious but rich!). Four of us had fries and they are absolutely the perfect fry - pure potato taste! There was also 2 bowls of loaded baked potato soup and 2 bourbon flights for us! Everything got 2 thumbs up. We don't live nearby but we'll be back! PS... the value is there... it's priced just right!

We appreciated that there were gluten free options for some of our family members in attendance. We also loved the drink menu -- there were lots to choose from, including specialty cocktails and a full bourbon list. The overall ambiance was rustic and relaxed. There are three separate rooms -- bar room, lounge, and the waterwheel room that was brighter (where we sat). We definitely will be coming back!

What Happened????!! Oh Iezzi's.....we have loved our…read morerelationship together, but the local adoration has dissolved. We have been to Iezzi's many times as a neighborhood watering hole and quick bite. Once the outside was created we loved going, but over the past few seasons and especially our last stint, it's gotten worse and worse. Food and service was terrible, on our likely last go round a few months ago. Decided to eat inside for an early bite, I think on a weekday. The bartender mostly sat on her phone and didn't connect with patrons. The food was awful. Took forever and not worth any wait. The pizza was an inedible mess- I refused. My husband's sandwich was capable but he had to finish my Zep, as I also couldn't get through it. Odd tastes, dry bread. How sad! Iezzi's we are sad for you. We will miss you.

WOW. First time ever I didn't finish my breakfast. I like this place for the friendly attentive staff, the 50's atmosphere, and for inspired selections for both breakfast and lunch items served all day. Give it a try, I know you'll find something you'll like. Plan on going back for a loaf of crab bisque next time.

A sweet scene across the street from the Colebrookdale Rail, we sat outside and enjoyed the quiet view. My husband ordered an Iced Caramel Fluff Coffee and my being on a chai kick lately, tried their small hot variety. Drinks came out quickly considering the line of patrons ordering and most of the indoor seating full. We sat with our number at a table outside. The brisk air was delightful and even more delightful was the rest of our breakfast. My husband ordered an Everything Bagel Sandwich with Cheddar and Sausage. He enjoyed it, said it needed some spice or sauce though. I was delighted in my pick! An Everything Bagel with the lemon-dill cream cheese. This cream cheese should be sold on its own! I'd purchase (or would love to steal the recipe!). The cream cheese was more a like a dip in consistency. Smooth, flavorful and light. This was inspo for me to try to make later and put on bagels, sandwiches and crackers (still thinking about eating it, lololol). What a wonderful start to the weekend! A local gem in Brakeman's!!

One waitress who was working the bar and restaurant and was clearly overworked. I get that she was busy, but she was very uncommunicative and we sat for at least 45 minutes with no food, not even an appetizer. I was honestly getting woozy and asked for something, she dropped off some crackers, saying your Food should be out soon. Still waited much too long! The potato skins were very dry, the fried shrimp was dry and the baked potato was so small and hardly anything Inside, my husband enjoyed his hot roast beef sandwich.
