Great American Grill

went here out the first time and it is a very nice place. The decor is well done and they have many things to offer for your event with outside seating with a large gazebo. Large bar and wine cellar in view for all to see. The menu is small but good. The Chicken sandwiches, and gourmet burgers, all looked very good coming out. I had the meatloaf, which was not bad though the potatoes were thinned out too much. The Chicken sandwich was excellent.The place is clean and was organized. They have been open for a year now.

The food was ok. No one greeted us when entering the restaurant. The server walk by and said " hey sit where ever. Service was terrible! No eye contact! No refills on drinks! I had to go up to the bar to give him our check after waiting for a long period of time for change. Floors were dirty and it smells like dirty bar drains that need to be cleaned. The produce on my sons burger was old and wilted. My partner and I received our meals 15 minutes before our sons. This place was at one time a fabulous place, not sure where it all went wrong...

Went on a Wednesday evening early. Had one server, who seemed to be fairly new. Ordered a gin martini which he had to prepare as there was no bartender on. This is backwards to how most places as this operates. Usually, if you have a full bar, a bartender is first on, who acts as server also. This young man went through several glasses before settling on a gimlet glass, with warm gin and an olive. The food was ordinary at best. Couldn't find a real reason to return.

We had a reservation for 630 there were 2 other tables there and it took over 1 hour for our food to come out. Even the kids meals. The temperatures were variable where the cauliflower I had was cold, steak over cooked brown center on a medium-rare order. The kids cheeseburger was good. We didn't leave until ten to eight after we shoveled our food in. I would not recommend this is you have kids with you or you are in a rush or moderately hungry when you walk in already. Maybe eat before going, so that you'll be hungry again when the food comes out. Service was fine and they replaced the cold cauliflower quickly.

Great American Grill is a nice and clean restaurant. The ambiance is very nice and relaxing. The staff however is a toss up. Sometimes it's great and sometimes it's not so great. The food is pretty solid. Again, also a toss up. Sometimes very good and sometimes not so good. This place is a solid middle of the ground establishment. I would recommend it if you do not want to drive to Turlock.

Tried to have dinner here last night. Haven't been here in about a year and wanted to try it again. Arrived just about 7 pm. Waited for someone to acknowledge and seat us. Cooks saw us. Bartender saw us, but was visiting with some friends at the bar. Walked further into the restaurant and she annoyingly said, "just sit anywhere"!That was an indicator of how the night was going to go, so we aborted early, turned around and left. It's a shame that staff can be so unwelcoming...to people wanting to give them money!We'll cross this one off our list for good!

We had been to this restaurant before when the previous owners had it and the food was always great as well as the service. Today, we went in there as the hours stated they were open for business. The door was open, but there was no one in there but the cook. We stood for a while to be greeted, we walked around the restaurant where the cook saw us, but never said a word. The restaurant was empty and cold. My husband and I felt uncomfortable and awkward. Sadly we walked out and will not be returning. Best of luck to the new owners as it was once a great place to go to.

Arrived at the restaurant at 12:02PM and was seated, we had to call the waitress over to order. We ordered our food and 40 minutes go by and still no food. 19 minutes left of our HOUR lunch, asked for the food to go because I'm not going to be able to eat my tri tip sandwich in one big bite. Then when the waitress goes to tell the cook to make it to go and informs him we have to go back to work he makes some snide a** comment saying we usually call when we only have a 30 minute lunch and order it ahead of time. Mind you we have a HOUR lunch, we waited a whole hour to get our food 16 minutes before our lunch ends. Oh and then when we check the food to make sure he got our order right, I ordered garlic fries with my tri tip and my coworker asked for onion rings. I received my coworkers onion rings and she received my garlic fries, the waitress asks if we want the cook to switch it... for what? For him to not give our food for another 20 minutes ? Anyways we let the waitress know we heard his comment and she proceeds to tell us they had 3 orders ahead of us. The place was damn near empty. ANYWAYS I wouldn't recommend to a friend unless I don't like them and want them to waste a hour of their life. Also that isn't the first time the cook has made a comment, we ordered pizzas last time and the waitress proceeds to tell the cook that he's going to hate us because we ordered pizza... don't think customers are supposed to hear that. I won't be returning. Or if I do I'll call 2 hours ahead of time for them to give me my food 30 minutes until my lunch ends lmao.

Service was terrible. The server and, I'm guessing the manager, were too busy on their phones to give any service. Floors were disgusting. The only positive was the food was good and the cook was friendly.

I don't recommend this place, the food is not that good. The service is terrible and don't go there Mother's Day because they cannot handle anything. Definitely seek another establishment for food.
