A hidden gem in the area! With the abundance of chains, I always make an effort to search out new local places for lunch. Grindstone on the Monon was a fantastic choice. The braised short ribs were delicious and tender. The carrots and mash were equally as good. Service was quick and friendly. I'll definitely return to try the menu further!
My gf and I stopped here today on our way to Michigan. She found the place after we passed it, had to turn around since we were 7 miles out. BEST decision we could have made! We got to eat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather. She got the chicken tenders and fries, basic! I had the bison burger. It was so good! We both had fries for our side and I think I eat about half of my fries before I even touched my burger! I could eat a plate of the fries with some ranch and a sweet tea every day!! Definitely recommend! We might stop by on our way back. Enjoy!
The owner (I think) and the chef legitimately care about hospitality and quality. My family came here after my graduation and both of these gentlemen came to check on us multiple times, asking how everything was, if the steak was cooked to our liking or how the desserts tasted, how the drinks were, everything. They clearly wanted to be sure that we were enjoying ourselves and our meal. The waitstaff was absolutely phenomenal and very nice.
Hunter's service was great, every food item we ordered was outstanding. It's very far out of the way because my wife and I live on the south side, but we will find time to come back and try more things. Short Rib Poutine, Hoosier Hot Plate, and Fish & Chips were all fantastic.
This place is excellent. Three of us went there today and were seated right away, and all the staff were very friendly and efficient. The interior of the building was very pleasing with a homey atmosphere, and as a bonus wasn't even cold. Thank goodness. I started off with a Manhattan cocktail that was very good and not watered down at all. That's almost rare anymore. I then got the southern fried salad, which was just perfect and very good sized. My tablemates both also loved their food. So all in all I have nothing but good things to say about this place and I can strongly recommend it to everybody. I know I'll be going back too.
We enjoy coming to this restaurant in the summer with our dog because it has a nice shaded patio with fans. It is also close to the Monon trail so we can walk with our dog afterwards.
I had the grilled salmon salad—the salmon itself was nicely charred and crispy, the zucchini nut bread is delicious and who doesn’t enjoy candied pecans?
My husband had the baked rigatoni pasta which he said he enjoyed.
Sierra was super nice and attentive. 😁
We've been several times now, and every time, it's been excellent. Food is never a disappointment, and everything we've tried on the drink menu has been great.
Came here with family for my birthday, and had a phenomenal experience! Highly recommend, and shoutout to our waitress Anna. She made it fun and was very attentive without being disruptive. What a perfect birthday!
Fantastic food, good atmosphere, pretty good service.
Cheese curds were top notch, wild mushroom burger with the demi glace on it was phenomenal, fried fish was decent (could have been crispier), fries were fantastic. We sat in the bar area so our waitress was the bartender. All things considered, the service was great, she obviously had a lot of other things to attend to.
Will definitely come back here.
I ordered a breaded tenderloin. All the condiments were on the side. It was not one of the large thin type, but a little larger than the bun and ½' thick.
It was fried just perfect and very delicious.
I was only able to eat half of it because of its size plus it came with my choice of sides which were steamed broccoli which were also perfect.
We are in town from AZ visiting family, and they recommended visiting the restaurant. We came in for dinner for our Anniversary, and we were not disappointed. Robbie B was our server, and he was incredible. He started the night with saying I looked like a Bourbon guy, which was funny because I was going to order a Old Fashioned. His recommendation was even better with the Manhattan. He pointed out some great choices for dinner, and we had a hard time deciding. He is a great sever, and made our night perfect. The food was incredible, and the French Onion soup was the best I ever had. He brought us a desert to celebrate our night, and really showed he cared how our night was going. We can't express how much we enjoyed visiting the restaurant. We felt welcome, cared about, and appreciated.
Thank you again
Outside seating!! The food was delicious and our waitress Sierra took very good care of us. It didn't take long to get our appetizers or our meals.
GREAT service and good food. Nice atmosphere. It was also nice that the Manager came around to check how everything was. We had a 16 people and our server Adrianna was very accommodating and spot on! I would recommend and will return.
Our server Anna was fabulous! She was friendly and welcoming and offered menu suggestions. She was attentive and provided outstanding customer service. Our food was delicious. We had the crab crusted salmon, wedge salad, and beef short ribs. We will definitely be back and will request Anna!
Had a huge party request for noon, and they don't open until 11. Without missing a beat they accomodated our table; our waitress was awesome, thorough, fast, and kind. Party wound up being 13 people deep and felt like a regular ol' table for two with how quick the service was. Food was great, price wasn't awful, and thought the ambiance was cool/nice. Outdoor seating area also looked great although we sat inside. Thanks to our server who was amazing!
Had a Rehearsal Dinner with 40 people on the patio with buffet consisting of house salad, meatloaf, chicken, mac&cheese, and green beans. Also had beer and wine package. Service and food was excellent. The atmosphere allowed us to all mingle without disturbing others at the restaurant. Alan and the crew did an excellent job.
