Having eaten here a number of times over the years including when they first opened. Its a nice place and has some really cool stuff on the walls. They offer holiday specials and a great menu. Its a large place with a bar and includes another huge section for large events.

arrived 15 minutes before closing- they didn't seem to mind! Good choices, nice and clean interior (in fact the bathrooms are amazing!) REAL mashed potatoes, FRESH salad with real buttermilk homemade dressing, good-sized portions, reasonable prices, friendly staff, quick service, and classy decorations. An unassuming and pleasantly surprising roadside stop!

I'm an italian tourist. The Grainery is the place you can't expect to find where there is only farms landscape! very delicious dinner, with friendly people, high quality level. It's a good (and delicious) way to leave Colorado going to Kansas .

Great burger, steaks, salad bar. Good beer selection and well-made drinks. Funny and friendly staff greet you like old friends. Super restaurant for a small town with a big heart.

If you're traveling along rt36, this is one of the few places to eat! Our meal and service was good. Normal American, steaks, and Mexican for the main menu.

This place is completely awesome. Seriously this is the most reasonably priced place for drinks. I ordered a burger, nachos, and enough drinks to make me cross eyed and it cost me like 30 bucks. It is my favorite place out East to eat. If you are looking for a place to eat or drink in Eastern Colorado stop on by you won't be disappointed,
