Great option to sit outside on a nice, cool night. The food was delicious. I started with the crab dip.
Good flavor on the dip. Decent amount of crab in the dip, with old bay on the pita pieces. The seared tuna with wasabi aioli and teriyaki was delicious as well.
The brownie skillet to end the meal was tasty. I sat out on the patio and it was nice and breezy, with a fireplace outside.

Table was dirty when we first sat. asked waiter to clean and she sprayed me with cleaner while spraying table.
Decided to give the place one more try because I can bring my dog and the waiter we had kind of sucked. Mid Food took forever and ok maybe the kitchen is busy but other tables were getting their food and it took a long time to get the check too so I think our waiter was just kind of lousy. Also, soft fries.

My friends and I have been coming to bingo nights basically every Monday for the last year and are becoming increasingly disappointed with the service. One of the friends I go with and I have been servers on Main Street for a couple years, so we are very familiar with the restaurant industry and the steps of service. Because of this, we tend to be very accommodating with our servers and are usually very easy going customers. However, the service here has just been so bad since school started. We've gone to bingo so much to the point where we've had pretty much every server that works Monday nights. The ONLY one that's ever been attentive and given good service is Carly (she's great!!). With every other server, we're constantly going long periods of time (15+ mins) without being checked on, while our server is just up at the host stand or bar talking. Tonight, for instance, our server got us our drinks and then disappeared for at least 20 minutes. We're all starving and wanting to order food, so I get up to look around for her, but am unable to find her, so I ask one of the other servers if they can go get her. She comes running from the host stand where she was talking (I guess I didn't recognize her up there idk) and takes our order. She then doesn't come back to our table again. My one friend and I decided we wanted to leave before the second round of bingo started, so we're kinda waiting to see if our server will come around at any point so we can grab our checks. After about 10 minutes of seeing her just talk to the other employees at the host stand, I manage to wave her over to our table. The lack of attention to tables seems to be a common theme amongst all of the different servers we've had. There have also been two instances this semester where it's taken at least 20 minutes for a server to greet us.
The food here is good and my friends and I love bingo, but the service needs to drastically improve.

I highly recommend that people review their receipt closely when paying. On several occasions there have been random upcharges for menu items that were ordered as is. Example, $2 charge for toast on a meal that was listed in the menu as Toast, Eggs, meat, and homefries. The answer that I got was that the price went up but they haven't re-printed the menus. That seems messed up.

Great place with friendly staff, excellent food, and good drinks. I stopped here for a Sunday brunch by myself and sat at the bar. Jake was a great bartender and he knows his stuff. I ordered a lavender lemon drop that was good but I requested deep eddys lemon vodka for my second one and that made it even better (it made the shock of them being $14 each a little more tolerable). I ordered the Crabby Benedict w/o pico and that was really good brunch food. Overall this place has a family friendly atmosphere, great food, and good drinks!

Grain Craft Bar + Kitchen is definitely an excellent place to grab any meal. Their menu features food inspired by classic American dishes, which are not only tasty but also prepared with fresh ingredients. However, I do have some notes that could improve the overall dining experience. Firstly, the prices for the main dishes seem a bit high. Despite this, the restaurant boasts an amazing outdoor area that is fully equipped for seating even during the colder months. The servers are incredibly friendly, although they could be a bit slow at times. Nevertheless, this isn't a significant issue as the overall atmosphere of the place makes for a fun and enjoyable time. In summary, the restaurant offers good food and a great atmosphere, but it is a bit overpriced.
Vegetarian options: There are not a lot of entirely vegetarian options and few vegan options.
Dietary restrictions: Brunch can be a little difficult for those who have egg, dairy, or gluten allergies. Just make sure to check the menu beforehand.
Parking: A lot of free and paid parking space close by.

Disappointing experience. Restaurant was crowded and we waited over an hour for our food. Waitress never came back to our table to refill drinks or clear appetizer dishes away. My child’s meal came out first but we had no silverware to eat with and when we finally flagged our waitress down she didn’t bring enough for everyone at the table. When our food finally came out, my was wrong but waitress never came back to check on us so I just ate it anyway and I had to share silverware with kid because we didn’t have enough.

Really dropped the ball, came in on family weekend, was very busy, was told 45 minute wait, gave our name and number; we waited outside and they proceeded to sit every customer that came in after us , 45 minutes later as we sit outside cold and hungry we walk in they we say table of 4 they say ok seat us and I say you can take us off your waiting list and there look of oh shit was priceless
Very disappointing, last time here
Came in with a large group. Server greeted us when we were seated and got the drink order. Food order was place and came out mostly correct. Then server disappeared and we had to track down a few people to get our drinks refreshed and get a few other things. Overall, the boneless wings I had were great and I was excited that they were gf. Crushes were good too. Food reviews from the other guests were positive.
Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian and gluten free items clearly marked on the menu
