We stopped in for lunch, and the service was fast, and the food was on the spot; as for the beer selection, well, if you have a hard time choosing something, you will be here awhile since their beer menu is rather extensive but sometimes just randomly picking something might be magic in a bottle, either way, it’s a fun place to gather with friends

I came here for an event but stayed to order some food off their menu. I ordered the fries and picked two of the side sauces (garlic aioli & chili garlic mayo), we also got the chicken kebab which was delicious. Since we had fries already with our meal, we got the kettle chips as the side. Last we got the banh mi sliders which I didn’t get to try but everyone said they were delicious. I’ll be back!

Took my mom out on Saturday to avoid the mother's day chaos and really enjoyed my lunch here. There seemed to be a minor issue with communication between the hostess and servers as it took an unusually long time to be acknowledged by our server. These things happen and our server did his best once we were acknowledged. After that everything was excellent. My sisters are both vegetarians and found many vegan/vegetarian options.

Centraal is a standout spot! Their falafel is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with flavor. Pair that with their impressive beer selection, and you've got a winning combination. Their delicious soups are perfect for any season. Plus, the great patio makes it an ideal place to relax and enjoy your meal. Whether you're there for a quick bite or a leisurely hangout, Centraal never disappoints.

Wow, Awesome in every way!!!! Such a cool fun atmosphere with wonderful outdoor seating. Excellent service & truly delicious food!!! We were greeted by the smiling face of Nolan, our server who was extremely warm, friendly & a very patient and attentive server. We ordered lemon drop martinis and they were devine!!! I have food allergies so I requested to please talk with the manager. The manager, Bug, came right to our table and listened intently to my food request and assured me that they would be sure my meal was safe for me to eat, then soon after, brought out to me a beautiful piece of grilled salmon and a fresh green salad that was all perfection. My friends ordered the spicy chicken sandwich, and the burger with sweet potato fries and basil dipping sauce and said it was absolutely wonderful!!! We ladies give this restaurant and it’s excellent staff 5stars!!! It’s the total package for a memorable dining experience 3

Enjoyed an amazing Easter brunch in the beautiful courtyard. Food outstanding. Atmosphere cozy and comfortable. Service top notch. Highly recommend stopping here for a drink or meal. Everyone’s food was fantastic! Loved my greens and grains scramble. Rose mimosas... yes! Boozy coffees were the after brunch drink I never knew I needed. Appetizer donuts slightly overcooked but still delicious.

It was my first time trying Centraal Grand Cafe, and it did not disappoint. We went at 12:30pm on a Sunday for brunch. We were quoted a 30-40 minute wait, but it took 15-20 minutes. I loved the atmosphere. We were lucky enough to get seated outside in the covered, private seating. The food was great too! I ordered Centraal Bloody Mary, Bacon's Breakfast Sammie, and Pancakes from the kid's menu. The waitress was attentive and friendly enough. I'll be back!
