Granite Farm Restaurant

Love 2 for Tuesday’s and try to go for breakfast as much as I can! My wife loves salad bars and adores this one.

Just a bad meal along with terrible service, sucked.

We just moved to Scituate and have been checking out the restaurants. I think I may have been spoiled by the quality of food in Providence, and now everything else just seems ordinary in comparison. That’s what this was, just plain good food from a family restaurant/​tavern. I don’t know that you’d make a special trip in to come here, but if you’re in the area, and hungry, it would be a good place to stop.
They had a huge menu with everything from Italian to breakfast (on the weekends) to soups and sandwiches. One feature at the Granite is the all-​you-​can-​eat soup and salad bar. It was small, but good, and had hot rolls tucked away in the drawers underneath.

Having gotten up at 430am in the morning I could not imagine that anything could get me all jazzed up that early…but, this place did. We stopped en route to our destination. Upon entering I noticed it was a bar with some booths along the walls. Also, it was dimly lit. .. at first I felt like I was in a bar at night, but soon grew to appreciate the coziness this lighting projects throughout the dining area. Our waitperson (Cheryl/​Sheryl) was quick to greet us and friendly. I had eggs over potato w/​hollandaise sauce and cheese. .. it was truly amazing! My boyfriend had eggs over hash with beans (he says the beans were «really tasty»). The atmosphere was perfect for someone who’d been dragged out of bed so early in the morning…morning news on the TV, the smell of fresh coffee and no harsh fluorescent lights to deal with. And the service was impeccable. A++ across the board.
On a sidenote, my boyfriend has been here once before and he was telling me he’d had a Bleu Cheese burger there for lunch a while back and it was very good, delicious fries and fantastic homemade cole slaw!
Wish we lived closer because we’d absolutely be checking out their dinner menu.

Great breakfast, great service! Never a let down, friendly staff — atmosphere could use an update but that wouldn’t deter me from stopping by!

I had heard about this place from a local resident, so I decided to check it out. My first impression is this is definitely a local eatery. The décor is really, really tacky and old. Lots of dust and cob webs for everyone to enjoy on top of the plastic flowers. The menu was very simple, I asked the waitress about the veal cutlet special. She just stated that it was frozen and I should order the American chop suey. Having no idea what it was I said fine. Well it turns out that’s it’s macaroni with a watery sloppy Joe topping. Definately microwaved, parts of the dish were still cold and others were very hot. You should pass on this one. My wife ordered a burger, was a little greasy, but as burgers go we’ve had worst, again frozen product. On the postitive side I ordered a grill cheese for my 2 yrs old grandson, which actually was very good. I also had the split pea soup from the salad bar which was very tasty. The waitress was very friendly she was young about 17 yrs old. She came back once at the end if we needed anything. And finally we were there on a Thursday night, it so happens you felt like you were on a game show. They have an annoucer on a microphone and displaying and reading outloud trivia questions on tv monitors hanging through out the restaurant with customers winning prizes. If this your thing than this is the place to be. If having dinner in a quiet restaurant then you’d better pass. Would I go back probably not, just the tackyness and old décor alone would keep me away. Plus I’m allergic to dust.

Pros: Cheap
Cons: TACKY, bad service, mediocre food
While this was my first time eating at Granite Farms, I knew it would be my last when it took the waitress 20 minutes to bring me my drink. I went with a large group of friends for breakfast and, since the 18% tip was mandatory for our large group, our waitress ignored us the entire time we were there. She wasn’t explicitly rude to us, she just took an absurdly long time to take our orders, bring us our beverages, and she never offered anyone a refill. More over, a family had left soon after we were seated, and no one cleared their table until we were leaving an hour later.
As far as first impressions go, the place is disgusting. The restaurant is divided into two distinct spaces: the dark, divey section and the family section. I was in the family section. When I first walked in, the first thing that caught my eye were the tacky murals on the wall. The most offensive one, which my friends called the «Narnia Door,» was covering a closet door. Aside from the paint job, the space is littered with fake flowers. The tables have fake flowers, there are hanging fake flowers, and there were fake flowers in the window. It would be one thing if the fake flowers were clean, but there weren’t. On top of the tasteless décor, the chairs were unnervingly wobble and made a horribly loud noise when sliding on the floor. And everything was sticky. The menus, the table cloth, the silverware; they all felt thoroughly used. The term «disgusting» comes to mind.
The food was merely mediocre. But it was cheap, so it was acceptable that it was sub par. There was no fines or refinement what so ever, and everything needed a good kick of salt. My biggest complaint, though, would be the ambiguity of the menu. For example, I knew I wanted pancakes. But the pancakes given on the menu are plain, though it does say you can add «toppings» for a price. However, they never list what the toppings are. Furthermore, a lot of details are left out about other items. I ordered home fries, and no where on the menu did it say the home fries had onions in them, something that would have been nice to know.
All in all, the restaurant is a good place to bring your elderly relatives, but not a good place to bring your date. The mediocre food can be excused as it is so cheap, but the horrible service and tacky appearance cannot.

Had breakfast it was just ok, homefries were old, service was ok.

went for dinner Monday nite with my parents staff was very nice but the food was just okay I have been here many times for breakfast and decided to try dinner. I had burger and French fries which were fine but order apple crisp for desert and found it to be less than good. they need to make a few chandges to the receipe thanks sacha

Went to Granite Farm on a Friday night with a party of three and was seated at a window booth next to the salad bar, which was a less-​than-​desirable location based on the salad bar traffic and nearby employee service area. I ordered the grilled cheese and bacon on wheat bread with french fries and a coffee to drink. The quantity and quality of the food was excellent, with thick, smoky bacon, flavorful wheat bread, and crispy, battered french fries. The waitress didn’t visit our table often during the meal, although we did at least get coffee refills. For dessert, I ordered the fried dough bites sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. This unique dessert satisfied my sweet tooth and was very filling (I had to take several bites home with me). My companions tried the apple crisp, which they found to be of average quality and slightly lacking in crispiness. Overall, this restaurant has high quality, American comfort food that is likely to satisfy most customers. However, the seating and level of service were slightly disappointing.

Nice find for a small town family restaurant. Food and portions were good, and reasonably priced.

Had breakfast today, Belgian waffle with peaches and blueberries and eggs Kelli. Both were awesome, I couldn’t finish either and still ate too much. Service was very friendly and a nice atmosphere. Have had dinner on other occasions and I have never had a bad dinner it’s always great food and portions.

This was my first and last visit to the Granite Farm. The first thing you smell is cigarettes from the area where you walk into the restaurant (ew!). The waitstaff were eating and licking their fingers at the counter while customers waited. The food was bland and undercooked. When it was Gentlemen Farmer, it was a great restaurant. Now that it is Granite Farm, and has changed owners (I assume), it is awful.

I used to be a regular at this restaurant. When it was called Gentleman Farmers. Since the «do-​over» I hate this place. The new staff that they hired is rude and not attentive. (Sitting at the bar watching the patriots game while my food sat in the window for 15 minutes, getting cold.) The quality of the food has diminished immensely as well. While I used to enjoy going every Friday for fish and chips, I now wouldn’t go back if they just got the last fish in the ocean.
I think the salad bar doesn’t meet health code. It never seems cold enough, just sort of room temperature. If you look up their Board of Health investigations, they have been cited many times for improperly stored food.
Despite being a new remodel (the front of house), the place is filthy. Would it kill someone to run a mop under a table every night before you go home? Having my shoes stick to the floor in someone else’s spilled soda is not how I like to spend an evening.
Just let the parking lot speak for itself. It’s always empty.
I do not recommend this place and I will never return.

Great, small town, family restaurant. The food is fresh, prices are great and staff is friendly. Seems like a place for regulars, the staff is always talking with the customers and seems to know them. I’ve only been a handful of times, but have been impressed every time! They have a great soup/​salad bar, as well. Big menu, with a lot of American classics and comfort food.

Went for Fathers Day with a
certificate. First thing we noticed walking in at 2pm was how empty it was and how dirty the floors were. Not the best first impression. Our server couldn’t have been nicer, however he should have offered refills. My husband and I also shared a fork but I’m sure had we asked for the proper amount of cutlery packs for the table he would have gladly brought more. We started with the soup and salad bar, walking into the back room we again noticed how empty it was and how dirty the floors were back there too. So strange, management should be guiding these kids to clean the floor instead of standing around when it’s slow. The soup/​salad bar was a little suspect, we didn’t feel too comfortable with it. The lettuce was out of a bag of premade and the dressing bottles were not labeled. Soups in my opinion probably come frozen. My husband ordered quesadillas which I was pleasantly surprised by the salsa, it had a nice spice to it. He also got a turkey dinner which he enjoyed. My son had a slice of pizza, looked good. My in laws got dry chicken and ok pot roast. Dessert was probably the best part, I enjoyed my apple dumpling. Would we return? Maybe with another discount but there was nothing special that would really bring us back.

Please try this place. Awesome food and great servers!
