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.
