   Normally a good place to eat. But for the cost not a solid recommendation for Thanksgiving buffet!

   Met expectations very well! Only negative was that we were seated directly beneath a vent and it was freezing! A support group I participate in dines at the Granite City frequently, and it is a common complaint that the air handlers put out so much cold air. We’ve all gotten used to the fact that we need to carry a jacket because it’s so cold.

   Great food as always! Traveled from St Louis where our GC closed and was excited to find one in Cedar Rapids! Service from Cecily was perfect as was the wine! We found one in Franklin Kentucky also while visiting! I can’t believe the StLouis store closed because I know we helped them many many times during Covid!

    The Mother’s Day Brunch was a great idea but in my option it didn’t go as smoothly as it should have. You are allowed 1 hour after your reservation time to eat. You have to stand in line at least 10mins to get to the food, there were no plates available, had to wait on clean ones or run to the other side of the restaurant where the prime rib was being served to grab a plate where they ran out too, someone eventually comes out with a stack of maybe 15-20 clean plates, finally get to the food and there’s no bacon, chicken, hashbrowns, eggs, salad, pastries so we had to grab fruit and French toast and sit down until they brought more food out. During this time the waiter still hadn’t came to the table to ask our drinks and my grandmother was sitting there for that reason because the line was too long. So that’s like 25 mins passed. We get back up to get in the long line again because finally food is coming out and as we stood there the waiter came to the table and asked her for our drinks. Now we’re back at our booth so that’s like 35 mins into our reservation that we could finally start eating! 3drinks came out. Food tasted good but for some reason I lost my appetite and left most of it on the plate because it felt rushed and I can’t eat fast and it took the enjoyment out of it all. The waiter was nice but never came back with the napkins that was asked of him after he brought out the drinks. Never saw him again until he brought out the check and didn’t give me a receipt. So $128.00 for only 3 plates(no seconds) and 3 glasses of sweet teas (no refills) is absurd!! Great place to eat but not during a special occasion such as MOTHER’S DAY BRUNCH!!
