Headed there early Saturday night with my some of my family, good looking place inside, appears to be recently renovated. Too cold to use it but a large good looking patio outback. The service started out slow as apparently we had arrived at shift change, lots of servers but no one be came to help us. Finally a server came over and was good for the rest of the night. Wide collection of draft beer as well as custom cocktails. Food is very good. I had the hamburger with brisket chili on top and it was excellent. The rest of the group enjoyed their selections as well.The band was setting up for live music on Saturday night and I hear they have live music on the weekends outside during summer months. Definitely a must stop if you are ever in plain city or northwest corner of Cbus

My review is for food. Do not go here to eat! Horrible and overpriced! My quesadilla was so small, had barely any cheese and the chicken tasted old. They didn't even butter the outside to fry it, so it was dry and hard as a brick. Never again. It comes with what seem like generic bbq chips that our server said were homemade. If those are homemade...ughh.I would give it 1-2 stars.Service was slow and nothing happened, but they certainly could use training on customer service.If you go, only go for drinks and live music. I would say 4-5 stars for that. Not a food fan.Likely a fun place for drinks and music.

Just adding a quick update...they are expanding and it's going to be great!! My only complaint about The Grainery was that the seating always felt cramped and weird. This is going to add so much space!! Forgot the picture but had the chili last night. It's my favorite thing in the menu! The cornbread at this place is outstanding!

It took 20 minutes on a lazy Sunday afternoon to get 2 dinner salads. Ordered mine with brisket on it, and when they finally came, the brisket was barely over room temperature. Staff was nice, but definitely not very attentive.

Met a friend for lunch, and ran into another here. This has been several different restaurants, and I've been to previous ones at this location. Currently sidewalk and street construction going on; best to park behind the Lovejoy Plaza mall in the free city lot.Nice atmosphere: open front room (and literally open today, with the nice weather, since they have a big movable front window.) Smaller, darker, quieter room in back where we hung out. Plus "the Silo" upstairs, I assume a party room or overflow seating. Excellent service start to finish.My friend got a hangover burger and liked it. Baby K had a kid's mac plus fries. Liked the mac, wasn't into the fries. I thought they were good- battered and crispy. I had a barbacoa sandwich with baked beans and potato salad. The meat was nicely shredded, flavorful with a bit of heat. Too wet for the bun; I ended up using fork and knife. Baked beans were excellent, with chunks of brisket in them. Potato salad had bacon, ranch, etc., and was also excellent.Best BBQ ever? No, but pretty good, and a really good experience on the whole. A little expensive, felt like, for what you get. But what isn't nowadays? I'll be back.

I had a great brisket sandwich called the John Alder about a month ago. Also had the awesome wings. Last night I was served a very dry brisket sandwich. Bbq can be hard to keep moist but the Grainary needs to fiquire this out. The serving size was very small. I'll pay more for additional meat on my sandwich. I would like to see BBQ by the pound as a menu option.

Love this place. Would highly recommend. Ordered the barbecue brisket. Wonderful and delicious. Candied Bacon appetizer is the best. Great food. Bands are great. Must come to enjoy food and atmosphere

The food is beyond disappointing and insulting to the genre of barbecue. Many of the menu items are deep-fried leaving minimal variety, and non deep-fried items lack flavor and seasoning. Sandwiches are effortlessly assembled with a scoop or slab of meat plopped on a bun: no lettuce, tomato or onion. For such low effort food, the prices are unjustified. As for the ambience, it's typical sports bar. The music encourages patrons to leave with deafening hick-pop (county pop).

First time here with friends who had been there before us and recommended it. The place is a cool atmosphere and I guess it's bigger than the last time our friends had been there. We had six in our party and three of our people's food came out very quickly but probably 10-15 minutes before the others did. Food was okay, not great, but I would go again. My husband ordered the Ranch Water from the bar, his first and second drinks were not the same and the same bartender made both drinks. Lacking consistency from the bar and our waitress could have had a little more personality IMO.

Grainery is great addition to the Plain City. Their choices of draft beers is great and compliments the food served. This spacious bar/restaurant is great for gathering, family or friends. Service is not stellar. It took a while to get the beer. Asked for leftovers to take home but got no service.
