Whether you're catering for large groups or just looking for a good place to hang out with your close friends, Grit City is an excellent choice! Amazing pizzas, great tasting drinks, and friendly staff, highly recommend!
Grit City hosted the Medicine Hat Nissan Christmas party and it was awesome! Everyone had a great time and the Trivia was so much fun! Thank you so much to the staff as they definitely went above and beyond!!
I attended my company Christmas Party at Grit City last night and it was the best experience!! The food was amazing, the drinks were maybe too good, and the TRIVIA was top notch!! The hosts were so interactive, entertaining and hilarious! It was beyond fun. I want to go to every trivia night now. If you have never been, go. If you have been, go more! Thanks to the entire staff and all involved for being the perfect hosts. PS, staff, ask for Dani next time you need a vehicle, you know where I am 😜. I was the one looking like an (awkward) figure skating peacock in my sequin dress. 😂
When I stepped into the Grit City, I had a Thelma & Louise in their better days moment. It has a classy, funky, fun & curious feel to it, all in one place. The diversity of the drinks and kitchen freshly made food alike. Thelma and Louise certainly would have made the Grit City their favourite hangout place! Trivia, horseshoe throwing, master classes in mixology, music, mystery solving lure one into childhood playdates where win or lose, right or wrong not really mattered. It’s the togetherness, the sheer joy of the experience. The stunning servers know who ordered what, accurately fast, exchange smiles & kind words, readying for the next rounds. The starlit sky through the windows and guitar players add nostalgia - promises to be back soon, for hanging out with newly acquired and matured like whiskey friends. Grit City feels like a movie where everyone has been casted for a role in an ongoing narrative of distilling and tasting unfolding. A proud gem of the Hatters and a must stop for tourists and visitors. A standing ovation for Jen Schmunk and her team.
I went for lunch & got a flight of four of Grit City's spirits. The food & the drinks went beyond my expectations! The kimchi dog was unusual & delicious, & I enjoyed the whisky & the signature gin. One thing that could have made the experience better is the choice of music. I didn't want my mother & I to have to sit & listen to hip-hop that sounded like it was written by high school dropouts smoking PCP. Put on Wild 94.5 & make the music match the decor!
You know how they say, when you go somewhere to eat, you shouldn't order a fish dish from the pizza place? Well, I would say don't order food from a distillery. They tried. It looked delicious, smelled great, but my husband had never had a tougher (cold) sirloin until he tried a bite of mine. The pina colada fish bowl was decent, except for the two full glasses of ice that we had to scoop out, so it wouldn't water it down so much. But I was glad to see that they were supporting the local hot air balloon event. This was the reason we went. And our server was terrific.
Very comfortable booth & 4 of us enjoyed a delicious lunch. Excellent concept restaurant with many original items for purchase & gifting. Drinks included Smokey Cherry Old Fashioned, 2 Forbidden Fruit Gin & Tonic & a Root Beer Paralyzer. Entrees included the recommended Mini Yorkshire Sliders, Boursin & Bacon Burger, Grilled Caesar Salad w Chicken. Great atmosphere & manager Des provides excellent service. We shall return should the opportunity present itself & we're back in The Hat.
The atmosphere of this place is excellent and the background music is there but you can still hear everything and everyone. The drinks are prepared artistically and ate a great combination of flavors. The food has such amazing flavors. The menu is creative then anything that other restaurants have in the city.
Delicious food and tasty house made booze and drinks. Cool atmosphere too. Very pleasant service.
I love the products I m just sad I can t buy them in Saskatchewan. Hope that will change soon. But the government and the taxes don t help. I do try to stock up while passing through.
Never had food as we thought it was a brewery and tried the three beers on tap and ordered one only to find it was warm, so we went to an actually brewery for food and beers. Nice atmosphere and good service there.
Ive dined at Grit City a few times and have always had a good experience! We attended the F.R.I.E.N.D.S trivia last night and had a blast! The food and drinks were great, and the event was so much fun
Great local place, always have great experience and Jen and her crew always go above and beyond! You guys knocked Friends Trivia Night out of the park!
Am I biased? Yes. Is it the best place in town? Also yes! Great food, great drinks, great people, great atmosphere.
The best food, the best drinks, and the absolute best trivia.
Had the best time at Taylor Swift trivia night! Food and drinks were great.
Always great food and service
We were down for a few hockey games on the weekend and grabbed a bottle of the Pina Colada Vodka...it is deadly! Cant wait for next year and getting another trip to come grab some other products and stop in for lunch or dinner!
Service was extremely scarce. Starter came after meal had been eaten then was the wrong starter. Will not return.
Had the dill pickle pizza and it was super tasty! I can t wait to go back there and try more food! I have not tried the drinks yet, but they sound amazing!!
Absolutely the best stop in town. Delicious food and amazing hand crafted drinks. A must stop for food and cocktails. The staff are beyond friendly and very fast service. Id give it 6 stars if I could.
Love this place! Food is amazing!
Just dont
Great food, great waitress. Drinks were delicious
Great service, food and my son in law is the cook, will come back
The atmosphere is great, the menu is different. Food was pretty good but not out of this world. Our waitress didn t realize we wanted food so she kind of forgot about us for a bit but I must say she was friendly and made up for it. The Saskatoon berry gin was great but they didn t have any extra bottles in stock to buy.
Good for a drink but would definately eat befor you go. Store bought frozen spungy and cold yorkshire pudding with mushy filling and chewy tasteless beef. Not enjoyable at all.
Loved it
Good place to eat and drink
Literally this place crushes every meal I ve ever ordered. Friendly staff, delicious, handcrafted drinks, and a great casual atmosphere! It s a challenge to convince me to go somewhere else. Love it!
Still one of the best craft locations in town, with a satisfying menu of foodstuffs to complement the innovative and well-made liquors.
A full food menu, drink specials throughout the week. Staff was great and the food was tasty. Able to purchase off sales and is amazing for cocktails.
Such a cozy atmosphere and unique beverages! The dill pickle pizza is excellent!
Excellent service & environment!
I thought the waitress did a very good job and the house salad was great!
The Yorkshire pudding with steak and potatoes were amazing and you need to make a Yorkshire steak sandwich served with baby potatoes as a meal.
Dill pickle pizza!
Grit city was an excellent dinner choice while in town. Great locally made distillery and top notch food menu. Glad we stopped in to learn more about this great business. Staff was amazing & we can t wait to try a take home cocktails kit!
Fantastic place
All I can say is wow ! The staff is as friendly as you will find. I don t know what is better. The food or the service. Great job Grit city. What a gem.
Wonderful atmosphere and great food on top of it all.
The burgers here stand out from the crowd. All the food was amazing, but if youre a burger connoisseur, youll want to add this place to your list. Parking: Plenty of parking nearby.
Enjoyed the jalepeno poppers and a pizza. Loved every second of it. Probably one of the best meals Ive had in the Hat, server was great, bartender was friendly as well. Was our first time here cant wait to go back again. Sangria was top notch. EDIT: came back again and our experience was just as an amazing time as the first had the most amazing burger and a fantastic fishbowl Sangria Dietary restrictions: Gluten free buns available!
Appetizers, main, and especially the drinks were all amazing! We will be back!
The food was outstanding. The vodka, gin, and moonshine were amazing, especially the Saskatoon vodka, rhubarb ginger gin, coffee liqueur, and Saskatoon moonshine. The flights were even better when you add a bit of the tonic water they provide (or soda if you like that). Our waitress was so nice and provides outstanding service. Want them to sell in metro Detroit area
Eye catching layout and decor with delicious food at the right prices. I would recommend anyone looking for a regular watering hole to schedule a visit to Grit City. Everything on the menu has impressed, and the service from the team at Grit City never disappoints. They are true to their name and distill several of the liquors and liqueurs offered in house. Ask about cocktails featuring their own creations.
Amazing! Amazing food. If you go you absolutely must try the Yorkshire puddings. Caesars are a must when visiting grit City as well. Beautiful atmosphere, great outdoor seating. Small, intimate space. I highly recommend visiting here. You will not regret it.
Nice atmosphere. Appies are fabulous but pizza was just okay. My burger was so over salted it was almost inedible.
Food was great, atmosphere great. Service scarce. Paid out bill and were visiting...Apparently we overstayed our welcome...was asked to leave because there was a reservation (waitress-hey are you guys gonna get a drink because theres a reservation here...guess we are?!?) but hadnt seen a waitress in an hour to get said drink...
Great selection of beverages and food.
I occasionally meander here so I can jam some glorious pickle pizza in my gaping maw. So many options for delicious alcohol as well. I once enjoyed the most tantalizing fishbowl with gummies in it here. Big fan of all that Grit City has going on. 11/10.
Heard good things so we went to try it. Such a disappointment!!!! Food was NOT good and the drinks were horrible.
First time ordering tonight and we will definitely be back! The service was fantastic, the food was amazing and Prickly Pear Schnapps is my new favourite drink!
Ordered burgers very dry. Brussel sprouts not fully cooked. Wont be back.
Love the great service and family friendly environment at Grit City. Our favourite is their pizza and Ultimate vodka!
The best!!! Plain and simple
We ordered takeout from Grit City for the first time ever tonight to show our support after hearing them get bashed on social media for no reason. These were hands down the BEST BURGERS Ive ever had and well be coming back, often.
Love, love, love Grit City so much! Amazing local business with the best food. Cannot recommend them enough.
I ve loved Grit City since they opened. I have travelled from my hometown of Lethbridge several times just to come here.
Great spirits, fantastic food and wonderful people.
Food is outstanding. Drinks are one of a kind and amazing. Prices are very good in comparison with other similar style places in town. Weekly stop for our family now....one of the very best in town!
The service is always awesome. The owners- Jen and Andy are so welcoming and grateful. The food is excellent and the drinks are delicious!!! It is also a go-to of mine for Christmas gifts!
Great food and drinks. Customer service is outstanding. Atmosphere is warm and inviting. Is often a go to for gift ideas! I love supporting a family owned business that supports its community and is run my people with integrity.
The food is incredible and the price is very affordable. Love the spin on different types of drinks they offer. Amazing staff, service and a great locally owned establishment. Highly recommend this place and it has now become a new hot spot for my friends and family.
Got me some forbidden fruit gin yesturday and mixed it with Mango Kombucha and it was sooooo good!
An awesome business owned by amazing people. Great food, great service and of course superb alcohol!! Don t forget to check out their gift baskets!
Love Love the owners, Great Food, Great Business!
Good booze. Good food. Good people. A local business all of Medicine Hat should be proud of.
We are very fortunate to have such a great community orientated business in our city. The icing on the cake is they make excellent products at very reasonable prices. Food has been good every time and there drink menu in store always stresses me out when it comes time to decide as there are so many great choices. Keep doing what you guys do and cant wait to see the new place.
Great customer service with fantastic food and drinks. We are so happy supporting such a great family who has work incredibly hard to get where they are. My husband loved their creative Valentines Day boxes and their mules are amazing!
They guys are awesome! A local companyand all there beverages are amazing! Food is even better highly recommend checking this place out
Ever since opening their doors a few years ago I have noticed their continued support for this community. They have always worked on the fly to get through the battles of covid and their attitudes have always been positive. I don t eat there often but when I do it s always been fantastic. I do however drink their Moscow mule bevy s and I love them! Keep up the great work and hold your head up high.
Super tasty gin! I love that they have so many different flavours and options! Also love the whole hand sanitizer giveway they did during the pandemic.
Great local business!
Food is delicious, service (when allowed) was fantastic and the dill pickle vodka makes the best caesars! Would definitely recommend!
One of the best restaurants/bars to go to in the Hat! They put so much creativity in their menu, it always leaves me speechless. Drinks are amazing, so is the food. I would appreciate more vegan friendly options, but thats just me. The Forbidden Fruit Gin is a must try, Its one of the best gins I have ever drunk.
Thanks to being a busy working mom, we have not had a chance to get out to the tasting room yet. I have, however, indulged in some delicious gin with nothing but good reviews here. When the patios closed, we took the opportunity to order some food for pick up. The staff were friendly and made accommodations to satisfy my picky kids. My husband and I both agreed that was the best burger we had tried in a long time! We will be back!
Classy folks with classy drinks. These guy are amazing! Don t miss out!
Highly overrated! #DipGate #DDD #DanielsDillDip
Grit City is a great addition to Medicine Hat. The food is outstanding and you just can not beat the ceasars. Keep up the hard work guys.
Always an excellent experience at Grit City. Awesome products and always something new and exciting. Love the food and cant wait to get back to Medicine Hat to try more!
Grit City has not only provided a unique atmosphere and creative drinks that Medicine Hat has never seen before, (perhaps Alberta), but they have gracefully persevered through this pandemic. Offering free hand sanitizer for the whole city at the harsh beginning and following rules that don t always make sense, but keep the community safe, in the present! Their food is equally as creative and exceedingly delicious! Served with pride by an amazing staff and chef! Thank you Grit City for being an outstanding business in Medicine Hat! Can t wait to dine in again soon and often! #TrueGritCity
Grit City just keeps better and better. They have upped their game with an amazing new food menu. The Caesar s are awesome and the staff are top notch. Can t wait for the Whiskey District. If you haven t tried the food there yet though... you gotta eat there.
I love all your products plus your food is delicious!! You guys are awesome!
Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere, and great people! Cant wait to experience the Whisky District soon!
Happy to have such a great Business in our city. Wonderful people that care about their community and customers. Highly recommended
Authentic business owners treat every customer like they would their best friend and you can t help but feel their genuine spirit every time you walk in the door. Their intent is not just to make a living, but to make a difference in their community and to create something meaningful for others. Every time I set foot in Grit City, that is the feeling I get. Andy and Jen have clearly found their passion which is evident in every tasty cocktail and dish they serve. So proud of this local success start-up making its place in our city. Make sure to save room for the truffles when you go!
We have loved everything we have ever tried at Grit City. Took a risk on the Peanut Butter and Jelly old fashioned. It was amazing! The stuffed yorkshire puddings are to die for. The burgers are always the best in town too!
One of the best places in town for food and drinks, the pizza is unreal.
This place has THE best burger in town. Like, legit. I havent touched beef in nearly a year and the one I ate before Grits was enough for me to walk away from beef for several month again...until this place! I had a bit of a concern a couple weeks ago and Andy went ABOVE and beyond to help. Ive lived many places and know that places and people like these dont come around too often so Ill be supporting this community-focused business as long as they keep making amazing food and drinks <3
Love all the mules!!!
Have many of their products never been disappointed. Costumer service is amazing. Love how they support the community. Proud to have such an amazing locally owned and operated business in our community. keep up all you are doing Grit City
I have 2 favorite go to restaurants in Medicine Hat and this is one of them. Its my own little cheers bar... if you havent tried it youre missing out.
Amazing drinks, liquor, and food!! I would tell you how many bottles of their wonderful deliciousness I have sitting in my liquor cabinet, but then some may worry for the health of my liver hehe.
Incredible drinks, great food, and even better people! Absolutely love this place!
Love all the products that Grit City creates. They are a class act company that helps out the community even when they were forced to close down due to Covid. If anyone is capable of leaving a bad review they obviously have never stepped foot into your location or tried your products. Look forward to supporting you for many years to come!
I make sure to go to GCD every time I m down in the Hat. Not only does this family ran business make you feel welcomed in their space, their product is amazing! Also, I love their swag :)
Great Gin, great food and even better team.
Love the family friendly atmosphere and the food!
Always something new to try and so far everything Ive tried has been awesome, cant get enough of the ready to drink ceasers, and cranberry gin over the holidays is an absolute must!!! Definitely want to check out the food one day, Ive heard nothing but great things about it too!!
Cant review the food or drinks,sat for 25 minutes without getting service. terrible experience, will not return
Friendly staff, excellent products. I definitely recommend the Saskatoon Berry vodka, sooooo smooth. Well done
Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant in Geir City. The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience. The food is absolutely amazing everything we tasted melted in other mouths. Absolutely the best meal we had while in Grit City. Highly recommend!
Had an awesome experience with great food!
Great spot with a lovely ambiance. Excellent food and drinks and incredible service. Thank you!
Excellent experience, always! Stopped for a refreshment last night on their lovely new patio. We sat next to all of the beautiful fresh herbs they grow and use in drinks and food. Really good!
Great service , food and drinks .
Awesome food and drinks! Pickle pizza all the way!
Took forever to get our drinks, finally cancelled our appetizer after almost an hour. Fishbowl paralyzer was just a huge bowl of watery milk, absolutely terrible.
Food and staff are both incredible!
We had a variety, deviled eggs and yorkshire puddings as starters them the bourbon burger and dill pickle pizza for mains. They were all really good, Service was amazing!
Awesome food!! Awesome drinks! Awesome staff!! We brought our kids and the waitress was kind, fast and very helpful!
Really great Gins, the menu has a few different twists from the old stand bys. Large portions and amazing flavours. Very friendly, efficient and courteous staff. 10/10 will be back. Also cant wait for the whisky!!
The pickle pizza was intriguing, and ended up being quite tasty!
The staff was very friendly and helpful.helped me with the delivery end of the order as well as advising me on the current specialty pizza,including asking the chef to rate the heat level of the Mexican pizza.Which was very helpful and bang on. It was absolutely delicious,just right for spice as well as a perfectly done crispy crust! I would order it again and again!! Food arrived in good time and still hot. Well done,Grit city staff!! Thank u so much
Hubby & I had lunch. ABSOLUTELY Recommend! It was Delish. Staff was super nice. Forgot my waitress name. She was young and new but gave prompt Friendly service. Try it! We re definitely going back.
Great atmosphere, the food was delicious and the drinks are easy as saying Ill take the next one on the menu. Prices are reasonable for the quality.
Great staff! Great food! Great drinks.
Fishbowl Friday at Grit City! Always one of my stops when Im in Medicine Hat (and their other spirits are fantastic, too!).
Fabulous food and drinks!!
Desiree is the soul of that place. She remembers details of conversations ! Always friendly service ...
Some of the best cocktails I have had in the Hat! I would highly recommend.
Drinks are great but skip the charcuterie board, very underwhelming.
There was no bad drink on the menu and we tried at least a dozen different kinds. I highly recommend Grot City Distillery if you are looking for a great environment and amazing drinks.
I was happy with the service. Very unhappy with the Signature Gin and the price unfortunately.
First time here. Loved the dill pickle pizza and the flights!! Will be back! Awesome service! Thank you Andy..
Oh my world! Friends would taunt us with pictures of the Dill Pickle pizza, on Instagram! Finally today got to try it for ourselves! And we were NOT disappointed! We also tried the Kimchi and Bacon, what an amazing combination! We highly recommend this place! And we will be back!
Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. Looks like what we have here, is a Pickle Pizza and yup, its great! The soft crust,the crunch of the pickle combined with the exact amount of delicious cheese ....it is a winner. Beer and other drinks,this place is a great idea. A++
It was a wonderful stop! I love the location, easy to find. Few parking spaces out front but plenty on streets around. We were excited to finally get there, made a point to make a stop there purposely during our drive from Alberta through to BC. The bottles are beautiful in design & the Violet Gin Liqueur is stunning to look! I tried the piña colada soda drinks & very yummy. Subtle flavours but so light on the belly! Happy customers for sure!!!
Amazing!! My friends and I come here every week for epic drinks and food. Obviously the dill pickle pizza is to die for, but the rest of the food is amazing too. They always have new specials, and even make my vegan friend a new creation every time we go. On top of all this the service is always outstanding. I would highly recommend this place, its our favorite spot in town.
Excellent....cant stress that enough !!
Ginger rhubarb liquor. Dooo it!!!
The chef here makes a strong pickle pizza, just the way i like it. I hope that and the cherry vanilla paralyzer stay on the menu for a long time
Stopped in today again to pick up a supply of Grit City Caesars in the can. I consider myself a Caesar aficionado and this is absolutely the BEST pre-made Caesar I ve ever had! Savoury, seasoned with locally made speed sauce and has pickle juice in it! My only complaint is it makes all other Caesar s taste like tomato soup. Customer for life. Thank you!
Day 1 of the 12 days of Christmas (Gin-mas). Refreshing!
Family run business with amazing products.
(EDIT) Stores are selling the 23.5 percent liqueur at the same price as 40% gin...(coop in lethbridge).. perhaps not fair to lay blame on the distillery but it seems odd Ive seen this at multiple stores. The rhubarb stuff is extremely sweet not a fan but may be good mixed in with a gin cocktail.. the actual gin they distill is actually very very good and worth the price.
Fantastic place to come and unwind. Have a drink and snack with it. Family friendly and just a chill atmosphere. Try the Caesar Wings. Soooo good. Spicy and delicious. #GetLucky
