    AMAZING! If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would!! Food was impeccable, and the service was so good and so helpful! We couldn't decide what we wanted, and a couple waitresses were so good to offer suggestions of what their favorite things on the menu were and why, and what they could eat there every day. Which helped us decide what to try. They have a pretty good menu selection, and some not so bad prices. You can sit inside or outside. You can also go upstairs and have a good view of the river. They showed a beer menu, but they didn't show a mixed drink menu...however, they have any kind of wine slushy, rum runner, Pina Colada, strawberry daquari, or other kind of drink you are looking for. We started out our meal with onion rings. They were really good. They were big, lightly battered, and not like the cheap frozen bag stuff that you get at some restaurants. Next we got the platter of wings. That comes with 20 of them, and you pick 4 flavors. We got the bone in, and we picked the following: Garlic Herb Sweet Thai Blueberry Raspberry Our favorites ❤ ended up being the Raspberry #1. Sweet Thai #2, followed by the Blueberry, and then the Garlic. Which surprised us, because we thought Garlic would be our favorite. Our waitress, and another waitress were so helpful in helping us decide which ones to get. They were the ones that actually suggested the Raspberry and Blueberry wings...we didn't think we would like something like that. They were delicious, especially the Raspberry. We would come back here JUST for those Raspberry wings! And they are huge! We were sitting next to the kitchen, so we saw them bringing out order after order of food, and everything looked so good. We will definitely be going back.

    Their wings were huge! We tried the Raspberry wings which were our favorite. The Blueberry, sweet Thai, and the garlic. They were all really good. The onion rings and fries were food too You cut go wrong with anything on the menu here. Everything was good. We will be going back here to eat again!

    Good place to enjoy food and unique views! Food is in good price! The decoration inside the restaurant is very unique a lot of pictures from last century a lot of animals a lot of famous stars very America. I definitely recommend if you wanna enjoy a time away from work and urban area . They are a few bars nearby with a lot of exciting people who want to relax themselves on weekends with alcohol, dancing, singing, and Foods! There is a river in front with good views of birds and boats! there’s also a park nearby where you can climb up or use the cable car to to top of the mountain. Go!

    Super nice employees. We had the beef nachos that were recommended by another couple who comes here often. The prices were reasonable and the employees were always ready to refill the drinks, and ask if we needed anything else. We sat on the bar side. They have a dining area, and seating outside and upstairs. The atmosphere was inviting and it would be a place I would try again.

    One of the only places open in Grafton consistently during the off season. They are understaffed but I had great service the entire week we were there. The food was great (TACOS WERE AMAZING ON TUESDAY). Of all the places we visited in Grafton in March, this was the only good one. Amy and Dusty were great and we'll stop back whenever we get back.

    Our bartender/waitress was excellent. Not only was she by herself she was like incredible with keeping up with every customer we never even waited and we were 2 floors up she handled the entire place like a machine. Cheers to whoever hired her she's a gift! I don't know if she cooked the food too but boy it was fantastic! We really enjoyed ourselves and we will be back! This is a great Place to go if you want to sit outside with a little coverage you could take your children there but it's more of an adult atmosphere has beautiful views and great service!

    Taxidermy other walls is old and unappetizing for me. But the service and the fish tacos were amazing. Went for breakfast buffet, but they didn't recommend getting it because it was not a large quantity left. I eat light anyways, but heeded her advice and was glad I did. The ambiance was ok the structure is really fun and it was almost on the river. It's was cool

    I am one of the most patient and understanding people when it comes to dining out having owed a restaurant and working in the service industry for years. My sisters and I visited this establishment yesterday. I understand that it was busy and I am sure they were short staffed as many places are but we waited an hour and could not even get a drink as the server walked around refilling drinks around us. This is after we waited 20 minutes for a menu. 3 servers walked passed our table not once acknowledging us. Communication is key and they would not even speak to us. They could have told us the wait time or acknowledge us and let us know they would be with us as soon as they could. After waiting over an hour we left and went to the 3rd Chute in Alton. There we had wonderful service and great food and drinks. That server got a huge tip....

    The fried tacos are the best I’ve had since Hazel & Betty’s closed in Belleville! The pizzas and Mango Habanero wings are delicious also. Every dish we ordered was better than the last! The need more comfortable stools and more regular height chairs for those who prefer sitting at tables, but the food was really really good. Kudos to the cook.

    While in Grafton for Memorial wknd we stopped in here a few times. We ate breakfast here, the buffet was reasonably priced, it was constantly being filled, food was very fresh and tasted good. We came back later that night. We ended upstairs for karaoke and it was a blast! While no one was singing he would take music requests. Drinks were a little on the pricey side but it was a good time! We ordered pizza that night to take back to our rental.

    This place was fantastic. My wife and I ended up there 2 times in the same day. Dusty(bar tender) was an absolute blast to hang out with on the first floor. The other levels looked fun too but the A/C was needed this time of year. Great little bar to relax at and get to know some of the locals. Buddy the dog was the best! Thanks guys!

    3rf chute is definitely a place you want to visit if you're ever in Grafton and looking for something tasty. The wife had fish tacos, and said they were great. I had the 1 pound monster chute burger, and it truly was a monster. This thing had over a pound of meat on it. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. It stood about 7 inches tall and was definitely one of the best tasting burgers I've had in quite a while. The service was great. The waitress was very friendly and made time for us even though she was the only one up there servicing several (probably 20 or so) people. She didn't know the menu that well, but she made up for it with her friendly attitude and great service.

    First drive up Great River Road in many years. Found 3rd Chute online & decided to have lunch there. Place is incredible! The walls & even the ceiling is full of pictures & stuff. And the food was delicious & very reasonably price. The seasoned French fries were our favorite with our catfish & pork tenderloin. Our server was also wonderful. Great experience in every way.

    Prices are good, food is really good, had the philly cheese steak, portions are big, was a little busy for a Saturday but service was slow but expected. 5 star except waitress shorted my cash payment. And a cash tip isn't taxable. So not pleased people can't add.
