As a previous reviewer noted, GC has three masterbrewmasters in Iowa which prepare the wort at a central site, then "brewmanagers" at each GC ferments and finishes the brews. Such procedure appears to produce consistently high quality brews: I give their seasonal Scottish Ale a 8/10, where 10 is best. Also 8/10 for IPA, Brother Benedict's Bock and Broad Axe Stout. Excellent Cheese Chicken Tortilla soup and Baby Bedda Chedda beef patty (ground on the premises). Also Excellent service.

I was not even aware that they were in Lincoln until last Saturday. Went for lunch and was very happy with the choice. Normally I go to Lazlo's, which is excellent, but it's nice to have another option.

Despite previous commenters, I went to GC three times over the holidays and found their beers to be excellent. The Duke (IPA) is solidly hoppy and strong, the Maibock is actually brown like a traditional bock, but tasty as well. They also have a decent stout and a blond entry beer (didn't try). Sit at the bar, not in the the table farm where people line up and they run you through like cattle. The bar is low key and the bartenders learn your names. The GM told me that they brew the wort in Iowa, ship it by sterile tanker, and ferment it in Lincoln. You'd never know it, because the beers are fresh and tasty. Yes it is a chain, but they are doing right.

Although I must disagree with the review below as these beers are not as bad as that they are nothing to write home about either. All are very lightly flavored and made to appeal to the masses rather than the regular pub hopper.

Try the tomato basil soup on Saturdays. The Sunday brunch is awesome too.
The Doublebock is the best but the seasonal beers are always worth a try.

Beer quality is actually not all that bad, considering GC is a chain. They do seem a little flat. I recommend the Maibock, however. The menu is huge, but few, if any, options for vegetarians.

I have never meet one beer i could not tolerate until i visited Granite City, now i have 4. Their brews taste horrible, they have bad aftertastes, bad smell, horrible taste. I encourage you to try this beer only because i am curious if there is anyone who could actually enjoy their beers.
