Grandstand Bar and Grille 4428 Hamilton Middletown Road, Ohio 45011,

"Tried this place for the first time last night. First off we called to be sure they were kid friendly which they are until 7 so that was no issue. We arrived right around 5pm, ordered our drinks and our sons meal so it would come out quicker while we looked over the menu. The waitress was less than friendly but so far everything was fine.. however she never returned to take our order for another 20-30 minutes at least, meanwhile others that had arrived after us were waited on at the bar, orders taken, and even food brought out to them. Finally after ordering it was another solid 30-40 minute wait for our meals, well one of them. I waited another 10 minutes or so for mine, no return to check on us, no refills, literally ignored the entire time we were there. I would understand slow service if they were busy but there were only 12 other people in there that were all attended to. I don’t know if you have to be part of the “local crowd” or if it’s because we had kids with us that were well behaved and quiet but definitely felt very unwelcome (don’t advertise as a kid friendly grille if that’s the case). After eating I eventually had to go get the bill from the second (much friendlier) bartender that had started her shift shortly before we were leaving because again ours never bothered returning. I will say the food was excellent and probably the best steak hoagie I’ve had but the lack of service/rudeness really doesn’t make me want to hurry back anytime soon."

"Neat place. The bartender had a perfect pour for my rum & coke. Also, their outside area in the back has a really nice wooden porch with a scenic view."

"I don't go to bars but I stopped by for some food and they have the best hoagies around and it's really not close. Atmosphere was really nice as well."

"If you are looking for a place that just feels like home. This is it. Everyone here is so nice. The food is top notch. You can’t find a better local bar to provide the quality they do. Get the steak hoagie !!"

"Good looking Sports bar and grill. Good size locals in attendance. All the bottle beers came from an ICE chest, not a chilled cooler. The beers are truly ice cold. Nothing better than getting a bottle out of ice ! The food was good. The sandwiches we had were generous size, took some home. Great fries and onion rings too. Anyway if your looking for a good meal or chill and hang out with a good cold brew that's snagged out of ice, this is one to check out."
