Granite City Food and Brewery - Fargo

Hue place with a large U- shaped bar. Beers are mediocre, but food is tasty and portions are large. Service is very friendly and efficient.

Stopped in here several times when I was living in Fargo. Has a suburban chain feel. Food is fine, but not great. Beers are fine, but not great. Prices are okay. Everything here is just kind of middle of the road.

ambiance was quite nice, vaulted ceiling bar, transparent glass walled off dining room. i sat at the bar and had kellie as my excellent bartender/server. 5-6 taps of house brew available, stuck with the IPA besides a sample of the pils. food was excellent - creamy chicken tortilla soup, squirt bottle crema garnish along with crisp multicolored tortilla strips and a wodge of fresh shredded cheddar cheese. excellent all around, lacked in spice initially to beg a request for tabasco but heat came later. followed with napa valley burger: rare patty with pruscuitto, guacamole, sun dried tomatoes. spent $30 on 2 beers, burger and soup.

visited here about a week ago with family. Really big place with lots of bar and restaurant seating. Food is pricey and not that good IMO but the beer is ok. You can see the fermentation tanks from the seating. I’ve been told this chain sends pre-made wort to the locations and it’s fermented there which is how it appeared. Fargo Brewing, Edwinton and Little Deep are headed to this state as well so things should start to get interesting soon.

Stopped in at the Fargo location on a recent business trip. Pretty standard mid-scale vanilla brewpub. Decent interior. Our server knew next to nothing about beer. We ordered a sampler of the beers they had on tap and he apologized that one of them wasn’t available because it was coming out "all foamy from the tap." I Said, "Ah the keg must have kicked." He said,"No no, it’s just coming out weird from the tap." Food was pretty tasty and reasonably priced comparable to an Applebee’s or something. Beer was not bad, although it was weird that one of the beers they offered was nothing but a mix of two of their brews together in one glass.

Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon on my way back home from Minneapolis. A fairly typical (albeit somewhat bland) chain brewpub setting. Everything was clean, and well lit. There seemed to be a ton of staff working, so service was very quick. The selection was pretty bleak, especially outside of the few beers that were made on site. The food was nothing special, but was fairly well executed with good portion sizes. Not a bad place to stop for a city like Fargo where craft brewing isn’t such a big thing.
