Great Thanksgiving buffet! The only flaw was that Apple Pie was not offered as an option for dessert. Pumpkin Pie and Pecan Pie just didn't appeal to me. Granite City offers a Cinnamon Roll during their Sunday Brunch, which also would have been a better option, in my opinion.

Glad to see them back and better than ever! This is my new favorite restaurant. The food was fantastic. We both had the butternut squash soup, amazing. My husband had the salmon and I had the short ribs. Everything cooked perfectly. I cannot say enough good things about the drink menu. So many delicious choices. They make the best espresso martini I’ve ever had. My husband had a mezcal drink that was to die for. Run don’t walk to a great dining experience
