We had an awesome experience! My husband and I came here for our anniversary dinner. Food and drink came a little slowly but otherwise we had a great time and our server was great. She was very sweet and personable and made us feel very welcomed. The food was fantastic. I finished my plate and that never happens for me! The drinks were also great. The value for your buck is definitely worth it.

My favorites are the salads, fried green tomatoes, mozzarella triangles, French onion soup, burgers, chicken tenders, ribs, tenderloin, and the fish and chips. Today we had the brunch for the first time and oh my!! The pancakes were amazing!! The cinnamon rolls were great as well!! Also, the breakfast bowl was so delicious!! Everything was so amazingly delicious!! So, now that I know their brunch is so good, I had to let everyone know!! The best people are employed at Grindstone Charlie’s! Everyone is so nice and down to earth!! This is one of my favorite restaurants to frequent!!
