Grindstone Charley's

In Kokomo for the Vietnam reunion. Stopped in for dinner and shared the turkey Manhattan dinner. Not only was it excellent but they plated it separately!!! Server was excellent!

Person that had meatloaf said it was a little dry. Has always been excellent before. Everything else was great!

Air conditioning was very poor or not even functioning. I formerly ate there 3 4 times, sometimes more, per week. Sadly, each subsequent visit now is worse than the prior. Grindstone seemingly constantly is rising prices, cancelation of mug club, has degrading food quality and portions, and a failing ambiance. You don 't even have the company of regulars anymore. Yet, other restraunts seem to flourish with consistent prices and menu offerings. Other restraunt price increases in the area seem very minor compared to Grindstone, while still providing a far better quality and experience. I hate leaving this review. But, my former favorite restraunt has been on constant run of rising prices with already above market pirces that contradict quality, options, and ambiance. My occasional visit only occurs now because of meeting a friend or due to staff (bartenders) who maintain outstanding service, professionalism, and personality.

Most of our foods were cold. the waitress was apologetic, but many of us in our party did not finish our meals. we enjoy in the restaurant, but not this time.

We arrived five minutes before our reservation. We were seated right away. Our waitress’s name was Heather. She seemed annoyed that she had to work. We ordered mt. Dew to drink, I had the chicken strip dinner and my husband had a bacon hamburger with onion rings. Once we finally got our food, she didn’t come to check to see if we needed anything. It was horrible service! We needed refills and I could have used more sauce.
