Waitress forgot to put in appetizer and when I asked after 40 mins she acted like it was the kitchens fault instead of taking responsibility. Food finally came out, after an hour of waiting, and my meal had a piece of cheese separated paper cooked into it. 🤢🤮 Manager made excuses about kitchen staff calling off. We’ll NEVER be back.
Most of our food was cold. The waitress was apologetic, but many of us in our party didn’t finish our meals due to this. We typically enjoy the restaurant but not this time.
We arrived five minutes before our reservation. We were seated right away. Our waitress’s name was Heather. She seemed annoyed that she had to work. We ordered mt. Dew to drink, I had the chicken strip dinner and my husband had a bacon hamburger with onion rings. Once we finally got our food, she didn’t come to check to see if we needed anything. It was horrible service! We needed refills and I could have used more sauce.
I ordered the Taco Salad with Chipolata chicken with chips. Taco Salad romaine lettuce, chipotle ranch dressing, Monterey Jack cheese, black bean corn salsa, tomato, salsa, sour cream, tortilla chips, choice of chipotle chicken or seasoned ground beef (not available in half size) $12.99 It states "not available in half size" if what I was given was full size half size would have been the size of an English muffin. No cheese, a spoonful of black bean corn salsa minus the black beans and corn, 6 tortilla chips. Not worth $12.9... read more
Air conditioning was very poor or not even functioning. I formerly ate there 3 - 4 times, sometimes more, per week. Sadly, each subsequent visit now is worse than the prior. Grindstone seemingly constantly is rising prices, cancelation of mug club, has degrading food quality and portions, and a failing ambiance. You don't even have the company of "regulars" anymore. Yet, other restraunts seem to flourish with consistent prices and menu offerings. Other restraunt price increases in the area seem very minor compared to Grindst... read more
My steak was under cooked then got another steak and it was under cooked,however the staff was polite kept our drinks full and comped me for my steak dinner
We made a reservation a week ahead of time for 10 people they had lost the reservation so we waited about 30 minutes until a table space was available to see 10 people. Service was decent food was just OK. I would probably not go back again nor recommend
Food was disappointing, temperature was cool versus hot. Because of this fish and fries were “soggy”. Service was ok. Didn’t complain, waiter may have fixed it. Will probably not go back.
staff completely unprepared for holiday (Valentines Day). I had early reservation but no table ready and was seated in crappy area right by the kitchen where staff stopped to congregate with their butts in our faces. Food was okay, server was all right, experience was poor. I did respond to company's email and was promised comp cards in the mail.
