    Recommendation by a co worker. It was everything he stated. Very pleasant experience. Wife and I got the Hoosier Hot Plate. Normally I'm not a person to mix my food together. However this was so good. Going back next time we are in that area again. Thank you Grains & Grill for a nice experience during a not so pleasant trip to your area.

    We had reservations but still had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. Whipped feta appetizer was fantastic. I ordered the filet tips , the bourbon glaze was sweet - and the Brussel sprouts had no flavor-so I only had a few bites. The other person got the pork chop special and it was sorely lacking any salt. The bread pudding dessert was phenomenal. Our bill was brought to us at first before we had even been asked about dessert and they started putting up the chairs on all the tables around us. Clearly signaling time to go. We found this rude - especially because we had been made to wait so long for a table. By the time you factor or wait for a seat and then our order being taken- that was nearly 1/2 hour AND we weren’t the last table left. There were others still there in other parts of the restaurant. This was a very special night for a major life milestone and this fell short

    Our table was ready, service was excellent, and the food delicious. We and another couple meet here every few months, each driving four hours from opposite directions. It’s that good!

    I feel like it should have tasted mindblowing for the prices. I had the special which was halibut and polenta for $36! The halibut was very overcooked and dry, no sauce. The polenta was dry and not creamy at all. The flavor was good, but I felt this was more of a $20 meal. Pretty disappointed.
