Great food, great service, great atmosphere. The Granary is classically simple and refined all at once. The prime rib is a specialty that's amazing. Highly recommended.

Good food, great night out...what more could you ask for
April 26, 2014

Decided to go because of my wife's birthday, plus we hadn't been here for quite some time. We had a party of 8 and most of us ordered different menu items. We had fish (salmon), prime rib, chicken (feta with sun dried tomatoes and apple pecan Brie), steak (sirloin Oscar)and pasta (garlic linguini - special for the night) 3 of... more

Tough Luck
April 18, 2014

My wife, our daughter and sister in law had a reunion dinner here on April 15th, 2014. They were in good spirits and happy to see each other again. When the food arrived it took a bit of the edge off the gathering. The Sirloin steaks were basically too tough to eat so they decided to just carry on with... more

Disappointed this time
April 06, 2014

Ate at 6:30pm April 6. We have eaten here many other times, but this time we were disappointed.
Went with a craving for the prime rib which is usually really good. The 8oz with 2 large shrimps was the special for $30. A baked potato came along as well as bread. Did not have the salad wagon which would have... more

Very yummy prime rib.... It was super tender and juicy. The waiter was very nice and attentive to our needs.

My only reason for not giving it 5 stars though is that I wish they had used a bit of a dry rub or seasoning on the prime rib to give it a nice crust. Would have made the steak much better.

Came to Granary based upon reviews on other food websites because we had a hankering for some prime rib.

We had to wait about 20-25 minutes on a Friday night, but got a booth, so we were happy with that. Decor is cute, and the ambience is nice. Our waiter was polite, courteous and attentive. Ended up ordering 8oz prime rib, and added an all-you-can-eat salad bar for 30 bucks. Slightly pricy,... more

Good Service and Consistant Food Quality
March 03, 2014

I have never had a bad meal here. Service is sometimes a little inattentive if they are socializing... this comes from their need to always hire young staff... not that it is bad but sometimes they are too busy seeing what they look like or who is talking to another server...

Not what it used to be
March 03, 2014

I remember when the Granary was the place to go for a little fancier meal. Now it still has the higher prices but the food is just average, the service was awful and the atmosphere just wasn't what it used to be.

February 08, 2014

The Granary is precisely what it seems to be -- a mid-range, friendly, efficient and decent place for a sit down. It is not fancy or pretentious.

Repeat visit tonight. This place is definitely getting busier and more popular. Ate at the bar to avoid a 20 minute wait for the table.

Granary is a Saskatoon "institution" that is a fine, large, family-style rest. The menu has not radically changed in many years, and the service I've received has been absolutely fine. The sale wagon is the best, consistent part of the menu, and overall it's a 6.8 out of 10.

The Granary features an old-fashioned prairie atmosphere and specializes in heritage style steak and prime rib. The restaurant's design replicates an old grain elevator and prairie memorabilia adorn the space. The chef takes pride in delivering meals that portray a distinctly Saskatoon interpretation. Friendly servers will graciously suggest wine pairings and desserts.
