My girlfriend got the blueberry lemon drop drink and it was delightful. I just had wine. I asked the waiter whether I should get the Cheesesteak or the ribeye steak sandwich. Ribeye steak sandwich all the way! The only thing that would improve that sandwich would be a beef jus to dip it in. My girlfriend ordered the ribeye steak Pittsburgh medium which is supposed to be extra grilly on the outside and just a medium cook inside. She said it was delicious. Parking can be a little tricky as there is only a small number of spots. Overall a solid experience and even though we had a 30 min drive home, I would go back.

My family recently rented out the Grand Saloon for my sister's wedding reception. We could not have been more satisfied with the quality of food and service. Our bartender Dave was the star of the show- he was constantly making drinks, checking on our food, and communicating any updates with the family. He was extremely attentive to our needs and went above and beyond to make sure we had an excellent time. He was helped by several staff whose names I did not get: a young lady with burgundy hair and a nose ring, a gentleman in a chef coat and a green hat, and another gentleman in a grand saloon polo. Everyone truly collaborated to make my sister and her husband feel special. Thank you Dave and the entire team at Grand Saloon for an unforgettable night. Menu Recommendations: Charcuterie Board, Garlic Shrimp, Penne with Tomatoes and Basil, and Thai-Chili Salmon.
