The Graduate

Food is gross, music and crowd is terrible, its ran by weathered management. Terrible place, stay away.

AWFUL! Don’t waste your time or money. My fish and chips were virtually inedible. They fried the food too long and the batter was BLACK in many places. Shame on you for serving food like this. I would have returned but we had already waited so long to get. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL. I will never go back!

It was my first time at this venue for a show, it was out of the way (I like that better) and It had good parking, once I got inside it was a nice set up. I really enjoyed being there, and there prices for beer was amazing! Can’t wait to go back! If you’re ever in the area definitely check this place out! Bathrooms are clean as well which is awesome!

This review is for line dancing. Every Thursday from 9pm to 2am, with lessons at 8. Arriving there around 10pm is when the party will be in full action. Watch some Youtube videos before you go if you are new. It’s lot of fun, don’t be shy, just enjoy it and dancezz. Entry price is $ 10 18 – 21 and $$ 5 over 21. No food available, but there is a bar for people of age.

We used to have one here in Fresno, near FSU when I was at University. We finished a round of golf and went in for eats. Upon the first bite, it was a «Eureka!» moment! Same taste, different bun but ooooh so good. Great selection of brew.
They got from our Foursome!
We’re going over for another few days of golf and 1 meal will again be there. No brainer.

OK place but I remember when I was in high school getting kicked out of here when it was a nightclub for selling rolled joints in the restroom! LOL it took me all night to roll those joints and I only saw like five and was turned out to the cold hard streets with a Marlboro Red box full of Pinner joints and no one to sell them to, oh the injustice!!! Lol good times!

Disappointed.
Grad Burger — same size but the bun was mooshy and soggy. Should have been allowed to toast a while longer on the grill.
Fries are now the nondescript chunky things you find elsewhere. I think they’re called Steak Fries. No where near as good as the thin-​cut variety they once served.
Prices — yikes. If I knew I’d be paying nearly $ 9 for a burger I would have chosen a place where the burger is WORTH $ 9.
Nine dollars PLUS $ 2.50 for a soda.
One good thing — the lunchtime line used to be 15 – 20 people deep. Not any longer. For obvious reasons.

Come for the Line Dancing! Thursday night is where its at! 18+ and drink specials for the 21+ ($ 2 coors and $ 4 long islands all night). The food is alright as well, but definitely not a destination. Plenty of TVs for watching sports or UFC.

If you are actually over 21, do not come here. Went here on a Thursday night with a group of girls (for a bachelorette party) on their line dancing night. The one star is for kicking out one of the girls for bringing a beer NEAR the dance floor. They had two guards remove our friend who had no idea beer wasn’t allowed on the floor, and even though she gave no push back, they still feel the need to take her outside to lecture her. Unnecessary, rude, and unprofessional.
Will not return.

Was there for the UFC fight super packed terrible seating arrangement way passed capacity kids running around yes «KIDS» at a bar where there is grown ups watching fights and drinking never seen that in my life people just standing and sitting any where and everywhere on the bar, the floor, candy machine WTF! No servers gotta get your on drinks and food… Place is huge with a lot of potential should get rid of picnic tables

Big Chill night was fun. Food ok. Atmosphere? Who could tell? The place is very dark. The food was tasty … just couldn’t see it, you have to eat by braille.

Was there over the weekend to watch UFC fights. The environment was great! The food. not so great!

Food is crap and tha staff are rude don’t waist your time or money on this place. Went there for lunch the security guard they have working in the kitchen messed my order up I brought it back and he was acting like it was my fault and got an attitude with me.

I came here on a sat night with friends and it seems pretty cool they have a big bar and a big dance floor. it was mostly Spanish music playing but they did play some English music as well. The bar seemed fairly priced

This place is great! The food is good the drinks are I strong. People are having a good time. Plenty if free parking. Watching Sunday football with lots of different screens. Kids are paying games

The wings were absolutely delicious… juicy and crispy.
The onions rings were huge and breaded perfectly. The French dip came with a huge side of dip and the sandwich had a ton of meat in it. The whole meal was really really good.

Food is good! I love watching football on Sundays here. They use to have pitcher deals but they quit that. Lots of parking. My parents also went here as a kiddo the place has been around awhile. Bring the kids, little arcade of games.

I want to make it clear, I’ve only ever been here for line dancing — so if you’re looking for a food review keep scrolling.
With that said, this is the single best line dancing bar I’ve ever been to. It’s a huge amount of fun, there are a ton of people doing it at all different skill levels and both customers and staff are really friendly.
Drink specials are also great, there is no reason not to be there on Thursday and Saturday nights.

This review is just about the food. In the old days we used to go for drinking and dancing, but those days are long past.
The food at the Grad is bad. We had a table full of people, and everyone’s food looked awful. The salad’s were warm and uninspiring, the hamburgers were dry, the bread was stale. I don’t think any of us finished our meals.

Thursday nights (line dancing/​country night) = 4 stars. How can I not give 4 stars to the only place I know of that you can line dance at? It’s pretty cool. I honestly never knew of it til I came to SLO (that’s what I get for being a city girl). I believe it starts at 9 but if you go at 8 they give lessons on certain dances. But you don’t have to know how to do the dances before you go for the first time nor do you need lessons before either. You can watch and learn or just try to copy why everyone else is doing. Don’t be shy! Even if you’re not good, go with friends who know how and you’ll get it. Or just come every Thursday and you’ll get the hang of it eventually. Practice makes perfect!
Wednesday nights (clubbing night) = 1 star. It’s 18+ so don’t be surprised to see some young kids there. But, also be aware of the older guys too. There are a lot of creepy guys that are looking for girls to dance with so stay on the lookout if you don’t wanna get grinded on by some random older guy. Music isn’t bad but if you’ve ever been clubbing in SF, this is probably gonna be a bit gross in comparison. I’d prefer SLO Brew on a Friday or Saturday night compared to this.
I’ll give The Grad a 3 cuz I like the line dancing a lot.
