The first Lettuce Entertain You restaurant, Grunts still exudes the funky, devil-may-care lifestyle of the 70s in its style, décor, music, and menu. Happily for all of us, the best eating of that day continues to be some of the best today. While there's a huge menu that's as much fun to eat your way through as it is to read, many of Grunts' old favorites spark return visits. The burgers are arguably the best in town. The new 'digital' salad bar boasts many of your favorite fresh ingredients daily. Giant malts and milkshakes are hand scooped and come in a rainbow of favors. Oh! Don't forget the barbecued baby back ribs, and sandwich specials.

    My husband and I love Restaurant Week and we have been eyeing Gene and Georgetti's for a few years. We never went because the menu was just not as good as similar restaurants. This year was different, the menu was amazing and we decided on G&G as one of the restaurants we visit. The food was phenomenal and the service was as great as the food. The restaurant is very cozy and it feels like you're visiting family. We will definitely be coming back - thank you for the great evening.

    Went for my daughter’s 4th birthday celebrations! She really enjoyed herself. The frozen espresso martini was very sweet, probably wouldn’t get it again but I’ve always loved their margaritas, and probably should have just gone with that.

    The holiday decor is amazing. Service was great. Service and someone else who checked in on us were friendly and attentive. We went after the holiday for brunch so it was a little quiet for the neighborhood. I;m sure it's more lively at other times. A few normal breakfast type items and a few kinda sweet breakfast items. I had a nice mocktail.
