This place has been my partner and I’s favorite spot for years. Great food and drinks and service. I’m so sad to hear they are closing. We hope all the best for the owners and staff (and hope they reopen somewhere else ?? )

Just ordered a fried chicken sandwich to go. Definitely fabulous!! They sure live up to the Chicken Master name (I made that up).

We loved our experience at Grind! The food was fabulous, drinks were delicious and the service and vibe was fantastic! The restaurant is also located in a great area! I highly recommend Grind and will be back soon!

I'm giving Grind an extra star for the great fried chicken, but service was so slow & our food took about an hour. There was a big party who waited sooooooooo long for their food too (& they didn't get their food at the same time so many in their party had food & others didn't for quite some time - I could tell they were frustrated too!) & we knew we were going to be after them - it was a lonnnnnnng experience. They were also out of the two items we wanted & their menu is TINY. Pretty much just fried chicken & sandwiches. I'm sure Covid has made things difficult, but getting food out in a timely manner shouldn't be such a detriment to the experience. The server said 'it's just two brothers making the food' & the restaurant wasn't full, so not sure what's going on, but it kind of ruined the night. We decided to give Grind a second chance after a bad experience a few years ago... we should not have. Unfortunately we won't be back.

Disappointing evening. Waitress said juices were homemade. Our son ordered orange and it was from a box. Fried chicken was bland. Nashville sauce was tasteless. Wrong order was delivered. Pulled pork sandwich was dry. Ordered a beer which cost $16 for a can???

The chicken was raw in the middle. The server tried to explain that the chicken was pink an bloody because it was marinated in brine. Then he took it back to the kitchen. He didn't bring another piece until we were ready to depart. The woman at the next table waited half an hour before her order was taken.

Absolutely a no go!! Where to start? Overpriced drinks and food, No season on food, wait staff seem very "off". Will not be coming back and I doubt they will last much longer. Please don't use the word "southern" unless you are referring or comparing yourself to Southern Pueblo. Or southern Kansas.

Amazing bar/restaurant with a star of a bartender Nico. Check it out while you can.

Their kale cheese dip, brussel sprouts, and fried chicken were all too notch, and the wait staff were excellent. I'll definitely be eating here again!

The hubs and I came here on a beautiful fall day and were fortunate to get an outdoor table. We ordered everything at the same time and our cocktails came out lightening fast. I ordered the classic daiquiri which is just rum, lime and sugar. Simple yet so delicious and with three ingredients needs a deft hand which this did. The hubs ordered a sazarac and this version was missing something. He ordered a second cocktail, it'll be all rye, which was very good and redeemed the first one. Our server was on top of it throughout the whole dining experience. The kitchen was a bit back logged so lunch took a little on the long side to arrive. When it did arrive, the food was delish. We shared a half fried chicken and ordered slaw, grits and Mac and cheese for the sides. The grits and Mac and cheese were a bit small, especially because they were really good. The slaw was light and had a really nice clean flavor. Overall we really enjoyed the food and our server was great!
Weekend brunch is awesome bottomless mimosas with different juice choices as mix-ins is amazing. Favorite menu item is the cheeseburger and add a fried egg. Good place to hang with friends to catch up or just a girl's day brunch.

Food was yummy. Fried chicken for the win! Brunch served by the incredible Kathleen who is not only friendly and more on top of her game than Pat Sajak, she was so attentive that I couldn't have enjoyed our Saturday brunch more. Kathleen, thank you so much; Grind, give this above expectations server a raise!

Came here for brunch with our friends in Cherry Creek recently - this is a nice spot! They have a large patio & can accommodate a lot of tables quickly. In what seems like a permanently short-staffed service industry environment in the covid-era, this is hard to come by. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Our friends both opted for the biscuits and gravy & fried chicken dishes - both staples of this Southern-themed brunch spot. My husband got the breakfast burrito - smothered in green chile, and I opted for the season omelet (asparagus, mushroom, cheese) served with country potatoes. We heard oohs and aahs from our friends about the Southern staples. If this is your brunch jam - definitely get these items when you're there. My husband said his burrito was good - I mean, he did finish the whole thing ;) And my omelet was surprisingly amazing. I always set my expectations a little lower for omelets - sometimes the ingredients aren't blended/soft enough, or the egg gets cold by the time it's delivered to your table. This was none of those things; the cheese was smoothy, creamy, and fully melted into the egg. The asparagus still had a little crunch, but was soft and tender. The mushrooms tasted excellent. And those country potatoes - perfect bite size pieces & crispy, yet soft in the middle. All in all, a perfect omelet experience. Alright GRIND - you got me! You've got a fan! I wouldn't call this brunch strictly Southern, but it definitely added some comfort to my Sunday morning :)

Food, service, ambiance, all excellent. My group shared deviled eggs, French toast sticks, and then I had the honey butter chicken biscuit. Everything was so good, the staff is friendly and helpful. We also had bottomless drinks, and I like that you can mix and match, bc we could switch from mimosas to their fruity white sangria. Super happy with this place each time.

Great place for brunch. The fried chicken was so juicy and the biscuit and gravy were also great. Good outdoor seating too!
