The Grainery is one of those places that consistently gets it right. The food is fresh, flavorful, and served in generous portions. Whether you’re stopping in for dinner, meeting friends, or attending one of their events, the experience is always solid.

The atmosphere strikes a great balance — welcoming, comfortable, and lively without feeling overwhelming. It’s become a true gathering spot for the community, especially for watch parties and celebrations.

The staff is friendly, attentive, and efficient, even when they’re busy. You can tell they take pride in what they do.

If you’re in the Pleasant Plains area, The Grainery is absolutely worth a visit. Reliable, enjoyable, and a place you’ll want to return to.

I ordered a ribeye sandwich for take out very disappointed. I did not want to eat the bun . The ribeye was dry and very thin . Looked more like a piece of over cooked roast beef

Living in plains, we stop by often to enjoy lunch or dinner. We like the buffalo chicken horseshoes, crawfish appetizer, corn nuggets, and steak. On the new menu the pizza and Mac and cheese (pulled pork, tomatoes and mushrooms, and all the toppings) are winners! We love supporting local and eating great food!

We went at a slow time. Only 2 or 3 tables with people. Took 10 minutes to even be acknowledged. I asked what beers they had on draft, she had to go ask the bartender. 10 minutes later, I had to flag her down, she said the bartender was writing them down. She finally brought me the list. The list had 6 beers on it! You can't remember 6 beers as a server??? We order our drinks and meal.
About 8 minutes later we get our drinks. So doing the math...28 minutes to get 2 drinks.
Food was really good. I would completely understand if the place was packed, but as i said only 3 tables had people. Sadly it wasn't a good experience. We probably won't be back. Sidenote: the entryway was horribly icy! As we entered there was a huge bag of salt sitting in the entry way.

We went to the Grainery last night for their fried chicken dinner. It was the best. Totally recommend driving to Pleasant Plaines to the Grainery. It will be worth the trip!

Our party of 7 met up in Pleasant Plains from Kansas and Ohio, and wanted to find a local place to eat. So glad we ended up at the Grainery! Bridget was an awesome host and server, so warm and friendly, and helped us feel at home. The food was delicious; most of us tried (and loved) the corn nuggets, and no one left any food on our plates from the variety of sandwiches we ordered. We were out of towners but felt welcomed like family. Thanks for a great experience!
