Ok, Ok. I know 5-stars for a chain? I must be smoking something....... \n\nDon't be a food snob, it can happen and it does happen with Granite City. \n\nThe appetizers, I can only vouch for the spinach artichoke dip. We first came here several ago and ordered this and haven't stopped. It's that good. It was so good that I called the kitchen manager and bought some for last thanksgiving (which was a big hit)........mmmmm.... It has the perfect blend of ingredients. So cheesy! YUM! \n\nSoups-the french onion is great, a really nice deep onion flavor, and of course the slab of melted cheese on top can't hurt. (have i mentioned that I LOVE cheese? \n\nthe main courses. We have tried most of their menu. The sandwiches-cuban and overlake-the ciabatta bread they use is good, and the meat is a good quality. simply a good sandwich. The signature selections we tried have been good, better than all chains you find the area. \n\nbut now the real reason you should eat at Granite City. The have the BEST HAMBURGERS!! Please for food's sake order the Bedda Chedda Bacon Burger, with a side of reggiano hashbrown casserole. OH MY GOD! When they bring it to your table, your mouth will be wide open, eyes wide open and parts of you will tingle in ways that Homer Simpson would recognize. ALL OF THAT and you haven't even had the first bite. It is simply the best. the best. \n\nThe desserts-we have only ordered for birthday occasions. because with the food they serve it is impossible to save room. The chocolate cake is very good, and worth ordering. \n\nThe Sunday brunch-the reggiano hashbrowns make this brunch worth going to. The eggs are nicely cooked-not gross like you get at most buffets, the biscuits are hit and miss, gravy average, the french toast are ok the strawberry syrup is yummy! and the eggs Benedict are very good. try the one with spinach artichoke dip. \n\nService-We go there every couple of weeks or so and have gotten to know some of the staff. They have always been consistent, pleasant and prompt. \n\nThe only negative is that its a 40 minute drive away.
