Garzanelli’s Supper Club: Reviews & Ratings
So Good. Fried Chicken Family Style and Prime Rib Special...Great homemade pasta and salad dressing with a hometown feel. Will go back soon.
A really good meal and wonderful ambiance. We were looking for something a little different and I found this on Yelp. It was a Friday so we had about a 25 min wait but it was worth it. My brother loved the spaghetti. The mozzarella sticks are very good. Friendly servers. I ordered fish and it was so good. It's a dimly lit dining room and very 70s to me. That's what is appealing about it. Old school supper club. We were happy with our meals and would come back.
We travel an hour to have dinner here! The food and service and consistency top notch!
I have been wanting to come to Garzanelli's since they reopened. We started out with the chicken and dumpling soup which was very good. I had the chicken which was good.
I am so happy that Garzanelli's is not only BACK but does not appear to have lost a single thing from before! Service is excellent...They aren't dealing with the staffing shortages that other places are suffering from...wonder why? Hmmm. I can't think of another instance where ownership changed and, hell, the place closed for 3+ years, and everything was just as good as it was. The chicken is still moist and delicious. The salads and dressings are the same. Onion rings? Pizza? Pasta? You guessed it. Same great supper club! I gotta think it's because either they kept the old gang together, or trained them really well. Go back to Garzanelli's! It's really, really good!
I should have taken photos while there, but forgot, so I borrowed them from their Facebook site to help you see what this place is like. We just got back from there, eating for the first time in several years. This location was closed for quite some time, and just recently opened. Service was amazing! Food was extra good! I'll admit, I went here several years ago and always thought they were good, but now they definitely are even better. Truly suggest stopping here if you ever want a great meal, at a reasonable price. The ice cream Carmel apple drink was amazing too!
