Granite Steak & Grille

[pmj]

This restaurant is on Rt 11 in Rochester, for those on their way up to the lakes region. We have driven by several times and just never went in.
Finally tried it and we will definately be back.

Wow, what a hidden gem. The owners have done a wonderful job with the menu and atmosphere of this restaurant. We ate their last night, four meals consisted of
ribs (very tender), excellent sweet potato fries.
filet tips ...these were not like sirloin tips they were filet mignon tips. melted in your mouth.
tex mex -chicken, ribs .BBQ sauce was very tasty.
they have a huge menu. Prices are very reasonable.

Lighter fare menu was far from "light". When the lighter fare menu says 1/2 rack of ribs..it is exactly that. We expected tiny portions abut they were good size portions. regular menu had large size beef selections, full rack ribs, etc.
You can even order 20+ ounces of beef for $1 per ounce over 20oz.

Good wine and beer list..they offer 5oz and 8oz glasses of wine, domestic and imported. My only gripe was that I did not specify what size glass of wine I wanted..totally missed the 2 sizes listed. The waitress brought the biggest size (8oz). I didn't find out til the bill came and I saw that it was the largest size. She should have asked when I didn't specify rather than bring the biggest, more expensive glass.

They have the menu on their web site:
