I grew up going to The Ground Round with my parents, and yesterday I got to have the same experience, but this time in my mid 30s. It brought back so many memories. The drinks were strong especially for the price. You get A LOT of food for the price as well and everything we had was great. Service was awesome, and I believe the owner was constantly going around making sure everyone was good and if anything was needed. Our server was great as well. Amazing personality and excellent. I can't wait to go back.

The food was decent and on par for this type of restaurant.
Caesar salad looked like it came with a whole wedge of parm on it sprinkled with grated parm too. Pretty sure if i got the full salad it would be served in a wheel of parm with a wedge on top as well as a bottle of grated parm. They dont skip out here. Perfect for those parm lovers! Good thing there was some roughage to go with it. I was begining to suspect this was the Ground Round of Parmesean.

The mozzarella moons we had were also loaded with slices of parm and sprinkle parm too. Cheese on cheese on cheese! (Not pictured)

Good news on the greek salad front. Feta and no parm on this! Though preety sure there was more toppings than greenage on this. Big bowl o' veggies with a side of feta. Think there might have been a jar of pepperoncinis on it as well as olives. No skimping here either!

Now comes the pasta, Alla Vodka. One might suspect it would also come with an abundance of parm perfectly perched atop plentiful pasta with poultry. Well, you would be sorely disappointed. There was but a mere morsel of sprinkle parm on it. A sad state of affairs based upon the previous dishes. Sad.

The apple crisp was mediocre at best. The highlight was the cool whip on top. Enough oats in the topping to feed a horse. Controversial ingredient paired with a lack of flavor. No parm on this though. They may have felt bad for our digestive systems at this point. A good decision on their part. (Also not pictured)

Just like the old days, bringing back great childhood memories. The popcorn, the cartoons, but with a modern twist. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. The brick chicken, was the moistest and most flavorful chicken I ever had. The garlic mashed potatoes and fresh green beans were so good.

I attended a networking event here. The food made me feel ill for a day and a half after. It tasted good. It gives the kind of place where they mostly are a nightlife place not a food place though. Like a bar that serves food to get around rules? I just moved here. They don't have bars here like they're a fixture in my home state. Every little county highway is dotted with little bars. Here they have little restaurants.

Very comfortable atmosphere. Great food, and service was excellent. She checked on us every few minutes, filling our drinks without us asking. They also weren't rushing us to leave after we paid the bill.

My husband and I came here for our valentines dinner and had a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was cozy yet lively. Our server at the bar was friendly and fast. Drinks and food were so delicious, we got the steak, ribs, pretzel appetizer and a few cocktails everything was served hot and large portions. We will absolutely be coming back!

I had long anticipated visiting, it was worth it! Food was fair for what you get, the portions were particular generous. Ordered the fish and chips and was pleased. I felt like they knocked it out of the park on all sides of the meal- especially the coleslaw. Would recommend for a good, casual lunch or dinner. Small touches, like the themed walls near the bathrooms or the mints for after the meal were really neat, too.

The food was served cold. The marinara was so congealed it may have been from a can of sauce from the original restaurant 20 years ago. The kids meal was the only decent food (popcorn chicken w/fries, served cold).
The hostess was neither polite nor rude, but the server was so nice and genuinely felt bad for the poor food/experience.
To be fair, it was a week after a massive snow storm so staffing could have been an issue.
The atmosphere for kids is great, all the tvs were on tom and Jerry and could be seen from any seat.

Solid 4 stars. Everything was pretty good, nothing blew my socks off. We started with the pot of gold app, and it was solid. The shell was, um, interesting . It was hard to eat, because it fell apart every time you tried to break some off. We swapped out the onion rings for fries, and they were excellent. The chicken fingers were good, and they had a great honey mustard. The steak egg roll was just good. It was a lot of food, so we ended up just going with soup and chili as the entre. The cheddar broccoli soup was ok. The chili was lackluster - I'd honestly prefer Wendy's chili...

We will probably go back, and actually eat entrees. Service was pretty good.

We went for first time and it was great. It was a Wednesday night and there was a magician who walks table to table. He spent about 10mins at our table doing coin, card etc tricks. He was awesome. Our daughter was amazed. Food was awesome. Just a great night.
