Granite City Food & Brewery

Update because we went here again recently. Still pretty good food, but not as good as in the past and I had two problems with the service. First, the waitress brought a refill of a mango lemonade drink that we didn't order, and then charged us for it. Second, I swapped out kale for broccoli as a side dish and the waitress didn't warn me that they put bacon in the kale. Who puts bacon in kale?!? A person who orders kale probably doesn't want bacon!! I don't eat bacon and didn't notice it at first, so I was pretty disgusted by it. I mentioned this to the waitress and she just blew it off like it was no big deal. It won't kill me, but there are a lot of people who would be even more offended by this than I am.

Otherwise, pretty good, but going downhill. Still great beer, though.

Went for Thursday soup special. Arrived cold. Manager did not charge us. We took it to grand ate at sushi house instead. Yum! Gets 2 stars. Soup is good hot.

Food and service were great and earned them the three stars.  The beers they brew not so much.  Three or four of their beers are blends of their other beers.  $25.00 for a growler initial purchase was way over the top.  It's kind of disappointing for us true beer connoisseurs to get good local advice about going here for their "world class" beers.  I guess that just shows us the beer palette of the area.  Fix the beer recipes and this place would be unrivaled.
