The happy hour is great. The house red wine and the Manhattan were both delicious and the Asian pig wings were awesome. My husband had the burnt end Mac and cheese which was sooooo good and I had the filet. It could have been seasoned but the sauce on it was good so it provided great flavor. The steak was cooked perfectly though. Matthew was our server and he was very knowledgeable and attentive but not overly so.

Beautiful restaurant, unfortunately several of my family’s meals were sub par. My steak was undercooked and not seasoned and my son’s Waugu burger was extremely over cooked. Service was great but 2 out of the 4 entrees were poorly prepared

We walked in to an empty Gram and Dun restaurant, at 1:15 pm, and were told by the host there was only bar seating available. I then got on open table and made a reservation for 1:30 pm and told her we now have a reservation. She then took us directly to a table. She also didn’t mark our reservation as attended, so I’m now getting emails from open table wanting clarification on if we attended our reservation. Why did we have to go through this process when there were TEN open tables?
Gram & DunResponded on November 29, 2023
Hello Brennan, I am not sure why this happened. It's possible that the tables were marked for reservations within the window of you being there. We will go and mark your reservation attended.

Andrea was our waitress and she was FABULOUS! She was such a delight and made the Thanksgiving meal one to remember. The food and drinks were delicious! We ate here two years ago for Thanksgiving and had Joan as our waitress then. She was there today and we got to say hello to her again! It was a special day! Thank you, Andrea and Gram & Dun! Our favorite place for Thanksgiving in KC!

Based on internet recommendations, we had dinner last night at Gram and Dun. We were extremely impressed with the ambiance and the food. The Shrimp and Grits, gumbo and Hanger Steak were exceptional. We arrived at 5:30 on a Friday night and it was a great experience. By 6:30, the restaurant tables were filled and the noise level was more.

Took a while for the drinks to be served, the mule variation was not good. Couldn’t taste the blackberry and sage. We had to ask for bread and butter plates. Butter plates only two instead of four plates. Shrimp and grits was fair, blackened spice on the shrimp was too much. Won’t bring guests from out of town again. Gram & Dunn used to be good, not anymore though!

Gram & Dunn is popular but we struggle with the menu, and this visit was no exception. We've had the shrimp and grits and salmon before, both of which are good but not great. My wife ended up selecting a salad and the special chips (which are great). I had the burger, which had been recommended, but I found it just OK. The service was excellent and the ambience was fine. We ate a bit later than usual and the noise level, which can be high, was pretty moderate. The wine prices seem high for what generally is an undistinguished wine list. We'd love to call this great but it's not there yet.
