Grille 3501

Grille 3501 literally stands alone with its "sophisticated yet unpretentious" atmosphere and menu. Our unique blend of Asian, French and Mediterranean cuisine, combined with our warm hospitality and attentive service will make your every visit to Grille 3

We went to this restaurant for the first time and the food was delicious, the service professional and friendly and the atmosphere of the restaurant was upscale but relaxed. My wife had the braised short ribs with grilled cauliflower and I had the King Salmon with purple barley, shiitake "bacon" and haricot verts. Both were delightful, well prepared and with ample portions. If there was a downside to the meal, it was the table next to us. The tables are very close and we had to endure a rabidly intense and loud political conversation between 3 older women who obviously had a lot to say, even if little of it was in my opinion true or accurate. Perhaps these days such conversations should be left for more private settings so other diners who may not share your political views can enjoy their dinner.

They have many choices to build your own burger the way you would like it. There's something about the hamburger buns that I just love! The burgers are huge and cooked the way you want them. They offer tater tots which completes the meal perfectly. The service has always been excellent. The place has always been clean. We have gone several times and never had a bad experience. We make sure that we go every Valentine's Day since we LOVE the place. I would highly recommend checking this place out if you have never been there before.

They make a great selection of sandwiches with great fresh ingredients. There are several good choices for sandwiches in the valley but the difference here is they are locally owned and owner operated. They take pride in what they produce and sell because it is the owner who will hear it if you are not satisfied. That shows in their service and attitude. A big order done with a smile and flawlessly executed.

Business appears to be booming even after 88 years. Good prices, friendly service. My stepson loved the split pea soup and our BLTs and fish sandwich were all very satisfactory. Two of us had the pie of the day, a blueberry crumble. It was fine but nothing to write home about. I would definitely go back if I were in the area. Clean, nice bathrooms.

Expecting the usual diner fare, we decided to try Superior since we were in the area. The menu selections were varied enough for all tastes. We had seafood which was not only cooked perfectly, but served attractively! Our server was attentive.

The Barn

Reviewed By JoeyNMN

Went with a group of 5 other retirees to The Barn on a Tuesday night. The Barn has a nice selection of bar food: appetizers, sandwiches, salads, soup; and a broad selection of beers. Their recipes are all somewhat unique so you’re not getting ordinary chain restaurant taste. I had the Bacon & Cheddar Grilled Cheese (caramelized onion, tomato, mayo), and it was excellent. The others seemed to enjoy their choices. I selected the Smoked Baked Potato as my side. It was okay, not outstanding by my standards. Still, a very nice evening. We were all too full for desert. Our young lady server was perfect.

I often have breakfast there and the waitresses are right there with the coffee and it never takes long for the food to come out. There's always plenty and tastes great!I've eaten dinner there several times. They have a very wide variety and they are very generous with their portions. They have specials which include soup or salad and sometimes dessert. Great value!
