Myself and a co-worker stopped by Granville for lunch. He had been there many times and told me it was a must for me to try. He was right.\r
They have quick-service lunch, which I wasn't sure about how I'd like that. I don't like to stand in lines for movies, concert tickets so why lunch? Now I know why they use this process for ordering. It is so much quicker than the usual dining experience. By the time it was our turn to order and when we got the food, it was at least 10 minutes quicker than the normal restaurant process of getting seated, waiting for a waiter and getting your food. Kudos for this innovative idea in a nice restaurant.\r
I ordered the Bacon Blue burger per my co-worker's suggestion. He was right about how good it was. The burger was a high quality of meat, the blue cheese was amazing, and it also had tasty grilled onions, mushrooms and crisp freshly cooked bacon. The sauce was some kind of port reduction (that's what the menu said and I have no diea what it is, but what I do know is that it was amazing.) I got the house chips with it which were also really good. (No pringle likeness at all.)\r
My co-worker got the chicken marsala which he has raved about at work. The portion was huge! two chicken breasts on top of pasta and lots of sauce. He didn't let me try any of it, but I could tell he enjoyed it because he focused on it and didn't say a word until he was done.\r
For drinks I got this water with cucumbers and lemons in it which was very refreshing. Had a clean crisp taste. He had an Arnold Palmer which was made with somekind of berry lemonade and he seemed to enjoy it.\r
I really enjoyed this place and definately will be back. Thanks to you, Granville for bringing in a place that isn't a big corporate chain like many other places in Burbank.
