About The Grand on Main

The Grand on Main offers a mix of positives and negatives. The broasted chicken and basil goat cheese salmon are highlights, along with perfectly crafted cocktails. The restaurant has a fun atmosphere, with bowling alleys in the back that add to the experience. The food can be quite good, with dishes like the chicken and waffles being super delicious and the fried zucchini standing out as a favorite. The prices are considered high, especially when ordering items separately, but some guests find the food to be very reasonably priced and delicious. The ambiance may not always be the best for larger groups, and service can vary; one server was described as kind but rushed, while another comment mentioned slow refills. The menu during brunch is limited, which disappointed some guests expecting the regular menu. Some dishes, like the grits, can be inconsistent—clumpy and lacking flavor—while other dishes like the cheddar biscuits and charcuterie board may fall short of expectations. Despite friendly staff, inconsistent dish quality, and minor service issues, many diners enjoy the fun environment, tasty food, and the presence of live music on Fridays.

On the Columbia Food Tour, had the Lamb over mashed potatoes, shrimp toast and churro with caramel sauce. Don't see that on the menu but would love to return and order that full sized plate, it was delicious!

We reserved a lane for bowling for my husband’s birthday a week in advance. When we get there and check in, we had not one, not two, but THREE lanes that messed up. First time we roll, the lane goes black. Notified the worker, get placed in another lane. Same thing, we roll, it goes black. Get moved down to another lane, we roll, it only gives the first person 1 turn and then says it’s the next players turn, but there are knocked down pins. We had already wasted about 30 minutes...read full review
