Food at Grant’s Farm
I was actually pretty impressed with the food at Grant’s Farm. I tried the veggie burger and fries and had a Mango Cart Wheat beer. It turned out to be a great combination. If you visit on a weekend summer day like we did prepare to wait in a long line for beer and food. They don’t have a huge menu at Grant’s Farm and its mostly basics like cheeseburgers and chicken tenders but it’s a fun place to sit and listen to live music and enjoy a cold one.
