My daughter and I enjoyed Sunday brunch before a trip to Barnstormers. I was worried it would be a long wait but we were seated promptly and service was quick. We each got a salad - Spanish steak salad and Mediterranean feta salad. Both were delicious. The steak salad had thinly sliced steak (like philly steak sandwich) and I prefer a more thick cut but it was seasoned well and a generous portion. I also had a mimosa (pear flavored) from the bar which was excellent. Our waitress was attentive. I saw many items on the menu that interested me and we will definitely be back to try them.

We normal go out on the 7th of every month as it is a very special day for us. This the reason we had a lunch at The Orchid Grill as we know the food is great. Each time we try to eat something off the menu, my wife had the salad and had the hamburger steak with gravy which I could not eat it all.

My wife and I decided to celebrate our birthdays together so we went to One Fifteen Broiler for the special occasion. We started off with raspberry lemon drip martinis and after that went to our reserved table. We ordered a shrimp cocktail and it was the best either of us has ever had. We then each ordered a wedge salad which was excellent also. We then ordered our main course, we ordered a 1 lb lobster tail that was cooked to perfection, I ordered a porterhouse steak and my wife had the filet. Both were excellent though her's was a little under cooked. We both had garlic mashed potatoes which were excellent. After dinner we ordered NY Cheesecake with raspberry sauce and coffee. The coffee was so enjoyable that we picked up two pounds from Rogue Coffee Roasters the next day. We will be back next year to celebrate our birthdays again.

Nice sized brewery great variety of beers. Atmosphere typical brewery. Good prices on their happy hour offerings, tacos great. Other menu items good as well. Decent variety of beers, but inconsistent. Did the flights. Some beers pretty nondescript . Nothing memorable. With the many brewery options, no strong motivation to return.

I travel through Grants Pass twice a year and always eat at the Sizzler. I have this Love Hate relationship with the place. On one hand I love the friendly service and the food. I get the senior salad bar and it's really good. On the otherhand this restaurant has a filthy carpet. You know when young kids eat and put half their meal on the floor. That's what this place looked like the night of Oct 26th at 7:00pm. I wanted to burn my shoes when I left.Goodness4you, we appreciate your feedback, and thank you for your review. While we're glad you always enjoy our friendly service and tasty food, we're sorry to hear our cleanliness was lacking on your recent visit. We'll address this with our staff, and we'll work hard to improve. We hope you'll give us another chance to earn your 5-star rating! Your Local Grants Pass Sizzler Team

We arrived in mid evening. The place was fairly empty. We were acknowledged promptly. The food took some time arriving. I ordered steak and mashed potatoes. The steak was nicely cooked and very tasty. The vegetables, while perfectly cooked, were cold. The mashed potatoes, while tasty, were nearly cold. The coffee was lukewarm. This restaurant has potential. Itâs pleasant to look at, the waitress was friendly, itâs in a good location. Itâs clean.Itâs inexplicable to me how most of my food arrived cold when there are only 5 customers in the entire restaurant. I donât normally patronize Dennyâs. We stopped here because itâs close to an EV charging station. This experience doesnât do much to make me want to come back. I am willing to give it one more try in the future. I hope by then employees are better trained, or more efficient procedures will be in place to deliver food to the patrons while itâs hot.

I ordered a pastrami sandwich and fries and oh boy, I eat a lot and I couldn't finish it all. That was the biggest sandwich that I've ever had. They gave me a good size portion of fries too.

We used to stop in here for drinks and snacks occasionally and always just average. Their beer selection is the usual, needs help. The experience that will keep me from EVER going back will be the day I ordered over the phone. The person who answered was abrupt and unfriendly. I thought maybe they were just busy. I went over to pick up my order and was not even greeted when I sat at the bar. When I was noticed I said I was here to pick up my order, I was told it's not ready yet. No Problem. When it was ready I was charged over 21 bucks for a hamburger and fries. The so called waitress (who is really the bookkeeper) had doubled my order. I said as much as I would like to eat two hamburgers I did in fact only order one. She then argued and said that I did order two or she would not have made two. I then said if she had repeated the order back to me over the phone this would have been avoided. She was pissed and let me know it. I will never go back in this dive again. I wrote the owner a letter and sent it to his home address, guess what, he never even wrote back or called to apologize. There are much better places to eat in Grants Pass everyone.

Went here because it recieved good reviews. I thought it was decent, but not excellent. I ordered the Millie's Original Sub, it comes with marinated onions and crushed red pepper flakes. The sandwich was very messy as expected. They put enough onions on it to wake up the dead. There was probably half an onion on my little 6 in sandwich. The sandwich was okay at best, but without the onions it wouldn't have any flavor. I am from out of state and there are way better sub shops within a few miles of my house. It's average.

This cafe ROCKS!!! I'm not sure but I think it's predecessor used to be in Crescent City, California. Whether or not that's true, this place is wonderful. My husband LOVES the Seven Deadly Burgers. All of them. I love the soups and salads. This is comfort food at its finest. Oh, by the way, prepare yourself for the decor. I'll say no more. Just prepare yourself. It's a kick.
