Our second visit came on February 22, 2024. We came for lunch, at about 12:30 PM. They were busy, which we expected. We were immediately greeted with a smile by Eric. Someone vacated a table after about 5 minutes. The table was immediately cleared and we were seated. Very soon after, our server, Corinna, came to take our drink order while we checked out the sizeable menu.
Coffee was strong (which is not usually to my taste) but it was fresh (both caffeinated and de-caf) and not bitter. Our lunch orders: a burger (for my husband...and one which he said was very good; he was also very impressed by the piping hot French fries) and a patty melt for me. Lots of people can mess-up a patty melt (the patty is way too small for the bread, there isn't enough sauce, the onions are minimal). Although served on sourdough instead of rye, this patty melt was amazing! I did ask for it to be "extra saucy", so it might be a little different if you don't do that. I enjoyed every bite.
Service was attentive throughout our meal. Corinna checked on us and refreshed our coffee three times. Oh! And I almost forgot to say I saved half my sandwich (it was large), so we could treat ourselves to pie; they had peach! (The one disappointment here is how expensive that was; if I can make a suggestion, 31st Grill...$9.95 for a piece of pie is rather pricey, especially since there was no ice cream available to serve it "ala mode". $9.95 would be fair if that included a generous scoop of ice cream.)
Our first experience in January (after they'd been open one month) was still good...but they've gotten even better two months in. I'm pretty sure we'll also be going back soon. There are lots more things to try on that menu!
Our woman server was very unfriendly. No smiles in the restaurant at all. The two men that helped us did a good job. Food was just okay for the price. Nice restaurant except for the fabric colors on the chairs and booths. Hard to look at. Do love his pastries!
Great New place . Very open, clean, lots of pastries to enjoy. FOOD WAS QUICK TURN AROUND ???? I would recommend for breakfast
I have enjoyed my visit to 31st State Grill. The food was delicious, and there's a real dinner feel inside. It transports you back decades in the atmosphere in a clean, fresh way.
What an amazing place that has a wonderful atmosphere and excellent service. We and there for breakfast and it did not disappoint. The portions were plentiful and the food was so fresh and tasty. I highly recommend the Chillakillers!!!! I would fly from Canada again just to have them. Thank you for a great meal and experience.
Stopped in for breakfast and sampled several dishes. All were fantastic - Chicken Fried Steak with eggs and hash browns, Down on the Farm bowl, Lemon Ricotta pancakes and an almond croissant. We couldn't find fault with anything we tried as each bite was as good as the one before.
Service was spectacular. Adam was personable and made our first visit super enjoyable with his rapid coffee refills! In fact, with so many places understaffed these days, it was so nice to see a bustling restaurant fully-staffed with everyone working together to keep things moving quickly. We felt welcomed and appreciated by everyone we met.
Even though they've only been open a month, the restaurant seemed to run like a well-oiled machine. We were in an out in under an hour with full, happy bellies. We can't wait to come back and try lunch or dinner (or both).
Very nice place, clean, bright, nice atmosphere. Staff friendly. Late Sunday morning had breakfast. The food was served quickly. I had French toast, fried eggs, sausage, hash browns and Coffee. Hash browns were cold, sausage links luke warm, looked and tasted like it they been cooking since yesterday. French toast bread could have been a little bigger. Eggs did not seem to have much flavor. Good coffee. Waitress never asked how the food was. Maybe she knew not to ask.
Wow, this place is great. Get the almond croissant (the best I have ever had), but please leave one for me. The breakfast was great. I will be back for lunch and dinner. Well staffed. Great food. Easy parking. Fast service for a Saturday morning.
