    The beer. The food and the experience. 20 minutes from downtown hotels. Well worth the time. Huge local/regional and international beer list. Pricy? Somewhat. But it's CRAFT BEER.

    The Grand Royale is incredibly delicious. The beer cheese sauce is heavenly!

    Beer and crack fries are the claim to fame. Local beer and imported beer selections are great. Try the loaded crack fries.

    Half price burgers (veggie too) and discount local drafts Monday- Wednesday 2-6! A super great deal!

    Expensive. I'd say mostly 15-30% high across the board. BUT food is totally excellent and beer selection is untouched for the region.

    Make your own bloody Mary's on Sundays and you can't leave without trying the crack fries

    Fish & chips amazing+crack fries die for. Try Rasputen for a creamy dark beer!

    Finally came here but wasn't super impressed. The food was good, the fries were okay (a little too crunchy for me), but I don't get the hype. My beer was excellent, though, and our server was great.

    Crack fries are real, and they're great. Beer is expensive.

    This place would be great if EVERY TIME I come in here the beers I was even remotely interested in hadn't been struck from the tap list.

    The selection of beers is unrivaled however the hard liquor selection is lacking. Great atmosphere and staff.

    Don't fall for the "crack fries." Far from addictive. Simply over over-salted, small basket of fries with pepper. Expensive for the value.

    Nice atmosphere, but was turned off by staff. I was asked for my ID once by door man, and twice by bartenders. Too much work to try and get a beer. I left before I even order.

    Don't come in a hurry. Doesn't matter whether it's busy or dead, service is slow. We have waited 45 minutes for our first round at 3pm. Fries were cold and we had to send them back, too.

    The Grand Royale was disappointing. Go for the Nach yo! burger instead.
