Granite City

For anyone who lives in the Midwest, Granite City may be a popular restaurant in your area. Yesterday I had the privilege of eating at Granite City to celebrate the birthdays of two of my family members. Upon our arrival into the restaurant, we were greeted by the host and led to an open table able to seat six people. It was a quiet & comforting setting in a blinded room with dim recessed lighting, next to a transparent kitchen with many chefs & waiters/waitresses busily working to meet the demands of customers.

Upward & onward, away from the fluff above, my order was a Grilled London Broil with Bourbon Sauce. Goodness! It's by far the best thing I've ordered & ate during the short time I've lived in my area. It was a dish served with 12 oz of charbroiled of round steak (I requested well done) with a knife slipped underneath, which I primarily conclude is for etiquette. Anyways, the steak was dressed/marinated with bourbon sauce & caramelized onions with sides of crispy onion strings & mashed garlic red potatoes (you have an option for waffle fries). I couldn't the finish plate, which is a good thing, considering you spend ~$18 to satisfy your hunger. So, it may be something you order once in a while, or in a blue moon because of its price and heaviness in your stomach. But seriously, if you live around one or know of one by travel, stop by and treat yourself with a hearty meal. You won't be disappointed. What I tasted is only what I know & will remain somewhat of a secret until you try it!

I hope this blog makes you jealous or motivated to go order something at Granite City, although I know it was only 1 item that I ordered & need to make more visits before I confirm my judgment, which may or may not be enough to humble this message!?

Peace everyone. Until Next time!
