A sports bar by any other name -- you can see a TV screen from nearly any seat in the place -- the spacious new Granfalloon (around the corner from the old location) has a fairly elaborate menu of sandwiches, including seven burgers and prime rib on a hoagie bun. Most of the dinners, which vary from a thick grilled pork chop to salmon drizzled with a guava-tamari sauce, are under $10 and include a salad. At night the place is busy, noisy and rambunctious, which is just what Granfalloon fans love most. — Charles Ferruzza

I have been going to the Falloon for years, but this is the first time I have been since Highwood Properties had some input on the renovation and menu changes took place. They have made changes to the interior and menu that were intended to make the classic sports bar and grill to appear more upscale. Some of the interior changes I don't mind but the menu changes were a hugh disapointment. Having a rueben sandwich without thousand island dressing or something similar??? The rueben comes with mustard, in my book I call that a pastromi sandwich with mustard, not a rueben! My bigest complaint, besides the complete sellout of the Falloon to what Highwood Properties excecutives want the Plaza resturants to be, is the fact that they can no longer cook an old fasion classic bacon cheese burger properly. I ordered my burger medium, it came out gray, no pink in sight, it inevietibly was very dry. The bacon was nice and thick, but hard as a rock and dry as card board, when I broke a piece off dust fell to he plate! The bun was nothing special, but sticking with the theme it was overly dry. Finally, the fries, were good, but mostly burnt up and hard. Its too bad, maybe the Falloon had no choice but to make these changes in order to stay on the Plaza, but the least they could do is hire a competent kitchen staff to maintain some level of decent food. Next time maybe I should just go to Blanc burgers or 810 Zone to get a decent burger, they didn't sell out thier menu to Highwoods, at least not yet!
