Beautiful Cobb salad comes out with literally a shot glass size portion of bleu cheese dressing.. a salad that size needs at least 4.. French fries were very bland, no flavor.. my wife had a cheeseburger that looked great.. again.. ketchup came out in a shot glass portion.. popcorn and atmosphere was the only thing going for this below average lunch.. Too many great restaurants in the area to settle for this.. 2 stars

Really disappointing. Boring menu, not well prepared. Loud, cold, echoey interior. Very low effort decor.

Avoid the pasta dishes, they have been badly over cooked every time I've been there.

Server was a doll; interior look was a neat log cabin. Food was terrible. I had an inedible pasta A La Vodka. The pasta was the consistency of Chef Boyardi - too wet? But also gritty and disintegrated in your mouth. The sauce was dark and nearly flavorless. I ordered it without mushrooms, though, so presumably it was made “fresh”…
The Philly egg rolls were so WET, but from dripping with grease, and my husband actually removed chunks of fat from his mouth and put them to the side on his plate. Woof. He did say the ribs were decent and had a lot of meat, though.
There were also 3 different birthdays going on- wicked original 😂

Well, the GR did not disappoint; Went for a Sunday afternoon reunion with friends, and enjoyed my wonderful Cobb salad! It’s definitely not the ground round of the 70s, no popcorn on the floor and no black-and-white movies, but hints of the nostalgia are all there – Especially the kindness of the waitstaff and management; The newest location is decorated in Halloween memorabilia – one statue particularly stood out to us –
When we told the manager that it was our anniversary on Halloween, she then commented to please take the statue and enjoy your anniversary! The meaningful thing here is the friend that married us passed away years ago and had bought the same statue for us, but returned it because we kept changing our date!! 🤣 I have never seen a statue then or since like it. The manager was kind enough to offer the statue as a gift and remembrance of my friend. Thank you Ground Round! – it was a wonderful experience and we will be back again and again and again.

Great to see The Ground Round back! Our experience was relaxed and comfortable, the menu is diverse, and the service was friendly. portions are generous. The relaxed atmosphere makes it perfect for families or friends. Just like it was 30 years ago, The Ground Round is a dependable choice for good food and a good time!

Yes, The Ground Round is back! The popcorn is still there, it's just not all over the floor, the way it was in the 70's and 80's. The silent movies are gone, but they've been replaced by a new generation of old theater, in the case of my visit, Tom and Jerry. The food was good. The staff was great. What more could anyone want?
