City Grille and Bar Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    Maybe it was because I was really hungry and consequently critical, but I will list the ways I was underwhelmed by this place: 1) The building is architecturally cool, a nice old building, but the acoustics were TERRIBLE. We came here to meet up with some new friends that we didn't know too well yet, but unfortunately we couldn't have a very quality conversation because we kept having to say "what?!" and repeat ourselves. We came around dinner time, and they had live music start at 8pm - so bad acoustics compounded by live entertainment = bad experience socially. We finished our food fast and left to go elsewhere. 2) We were seated at a table right by the staircase on the lower level. It was a busy avenue so that was a bummer itself. I can deal though and didn't complain. I'm sitting for about 30 seconds and there was an INSANE arctic blast under the table. It was frigid! I'm not an elderly woman, but I was freezing! I asked the waitress if we could move tables (I know that's annoying, but it was like sitting in a meat locker). Our waitress pretty much ignored my request, and told me to "put a menu on the vent" and that will take care of it. What the *+%#? There were open tables, now I'm irritated. I did slap a menu in the floor to cover the stream of subzero air, but it was still damn cold. After 10 minutes, and the onset of frostbite, I flagged down the hostess who kindly moved us to a new table. 3) Menu is average. Nothing really stood out as amazing. The portion sizes are pretty small for the price and nothing unique. I got the veggie wrap, which tasted good but it was extremely soggy and sitting in a pool of veggies juices getting more soggy. I had to use a knife and fork to eat a wrap. My hubby got a Cuban which was really small and not in the traditional hoagie style bun. Our friends shared the artichoke dip/pita chips, but the chip-to-dip ratio was way off and they had not enough dip. 4) The second waitress we had was nice and prompt with drinks. Can't say the same for the first gal. Spotty service? Overall, our bill was over $30 for two and we didn't enjoy ourselves. We wouldn't go back unless someone really wanted to go there with us. The live music wasn't good either. I'd avoid the City Grille.

    I was expecting a lot more from this place than I got. I came here for my lunch break hoping for some good food and a place where I might be able to get a little work done. What I got was so-so food, an earfull about someone else's business, and sore knees. Since I was eating solo, I decided to sit at the bar. First bad decision. The bar stools were uncomfortable and cut into my legs while my knees were jammed into the front of the bar. I had to eat sitting sideways - which sucked for my already bad posture. I'm only 5'2". You won't believe how ridiculous the 6' man a few seats down looked. Second bad decision: wanting to take a working lunch. I brought my ipad so I could skim over a few things while I ate. Only to find out there was no wifi. I tried to work on my cell phone for a little bit before I got aggravated and decided it wasn't worth the frustration. What business doesn't have wifi these days? My final bad decision is what I ordered. I got the soup of the day (chili) for $1.99 and a chicken Caesar salad for $7.99. The chili was described by my server as "spicy." I would have called it "mildly spicy." Overall, the chili didn't impress me. Think Wendy's chili with more beans. Many more beans. Holy crap there were tons of beans in that tiny cup! The salad was a little better. I'm uber picky about the salad to dressing ratio and it was spot on. My complaint is that the way they cut their chicken and homemade croutons into cubes is exactly the same. Let me tell you, there's nothing more strange in your mouth to think you're biting into a crunchy crouton only to have your teeth sink in to a chewy piece of chicken meat. Seriously, I couldn't tell the difference between the chicken and the croutons. I had to poke it with my fork a few times to be sure. So during this luncheon of not getting any work done and a strange need to analyze my salad, my ears were attacked by gossip from another local owner and the owner of the City Grille. (I recognize her from the billboards around town. You know the ones. "Where friends collide." Ugh. Choose better words. No one wants to collide with their friends. Dictionary. Thesaurus. Use your resources!) Anyway- I won't go into detail about what they were talking about. It seemed private to the third party being talked about. Regardless, it wasn't something that should have been talked about behind the bar with patrons sitting in front of you. Service was pretty good. I was waited on by 3 different servers (the owner included) and it was apparent that this is what they do. Their attentiveness wasn't overbearing, and I got prompt service when I needed it. Note: So many beers on tap. Among them Blue Moon, Siberian Night Thirsty Dog, 419, Yuengling, New Belgium Fat Tire Ale. And there were more on the other side of the bar. It might be interesting to see what this place is like at night. Just don't sit at the bar!

    I stopped in Friday for lunch. There was a large group of ladies seated and and a pair of couples eating. Not busy at all for noon on a Friday. I asked the server what she liked to order. She stated the "Teriyaki Chicken Wrap". I ordered that and a side salad for an additional $1.25. The salad came right out and it was good, nothing special. Definitely NOT worthy of a $1.25 up charge! The wrap came quickly after that and had a peculiar taste; I didn't want to get ill so I asked if I could send that back and get the mushroom Swiss burger. The server obliged. The burger was really good. I will come back on a Tuesday for lunch when the burgers are only $5! No wifi.

    I came here with my son after a school tour of the Manfield reformatory and I must say I was very impressed. We both had a burger with their homemade chips. The burger was very good. Cooked to perfection, the bun matched the burger size (I find that important :). The chips were crunchy and tasty. If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely eat there again! Great place!

    poor draft beer selection. $5 a pint. Gave this place 3 visits to see if i came on an off night. I hate bars with an internet jukebox because you will end up listening to pop country all night. Ate here only once and i was dissatisfied.

    Better the 2nd time I went. Price and drinks are okay. Food is just okay, Burgers, sandwiches, salads and appetizers is all it is. The beer selection seems to be getting better, but the atmosphere is great. Love the old style buildings downtown. Staff is nice and seems to be on top of it.

    Good food and a cool craft beer selection on tap. Nice atmosphere. Bar staff could have been a bit more congenial, but, overall a nice place to stop for a bite and a brew.
