Garden Gate Tea Room

Checked this place out while working in the area. I cant say how impressed I was with the food and service. It is a nice small quaint atmosphere. Food is great hometown American. They have sandwiches, wraps, salads and soups. Menu was diverse but not so large that you couldn't decide what to get. The owner was out working on the floor the entire time we were there and I was impressed. Our server was amazing! Highly recommend.

The employees are always so friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is like none other. Check it out!
The food is always fresh and at the perfect temperature.
You would not be disappointed.

A must go!! Menu is beautiful and eclectic! The owner is a hometown woman and comes out to greet all of her guests!

Staff is so friendly! Been there for years and have great clean appearance but also serve you quick and worth the quickness for lunch breaks!

They make sure your glass is never empty! You don’t have a wait for your food but it’s also cooked to order. Nothing sits around!

The decorations are so eclectic, feels like stepping into a foreign land with a great vibe and atmosphere! It’s more quiet, we don’t take children there and don’t see others; as most lunches are the city officials and business class and not quite the environment for the kiddos during business lunches and/or private bridal lunches or shower parties w/lunches!

Garden Gate Tea Room has been around for over 20 years and is really a staple in Granite city. If you're looking for something a little more upscale, reasonably priced, and delicious to boot, Garden Gate Tea Room really is the place to go.

Excellent service! food comes out like art work. This is a very good restaurant.

The atmosphere and staff are great! I felt like I was in a quaint garden for lunch. Above all else the food is so delicious. It's fresh and so many flavor combinations I wouldn't have thought of. Salads, sandwiches, soups and delightful desserts! Once you go to the garden gate you'll keep going back! I know I have!

Just had potato soup that was so creamy. Yum! But the highlight of my day was their Pear white cheddar salad with walnut dressing!!! You must try this so good!!! The staff were so friendly and took very good care of us. I live in MIssouri and I can’t wait to come back to get this salad again and try more items on their menu.

The food and service are wonderful. Make reservations.

I absolutely love Garden Gate! Everything is fresh and delicious! I had the Baked Potato Soup and White Cheddar Pear Salad. Both are delicious. The servers there are wonderful and kind!

Atmosphere is welcoming and warm. The staff is always smiling and so friendly. The food is absolutely delicious and fresh! 100% recommend you try it!

Service was AMAZING!! The girls did an awesome job. My cup was never empty. & I got everything in a timely manner! Food was FANTASTIC! I will most definitely be returning!

Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. Deana is an awesome waitress. Thank you for an amazing lunch. Will definitely be back to try the Italian beef. ❤

This is a wonderful community owned restaurant. The owner is Brenda Whitaker always a warm refreshing smile when you enter ;wonderful food! They have a wonderful staff . Very accommodating. Everything inside is so beautiful and serene ;just a wonderful atmosphere. You must visit . This is a place to go over and over again you will not be disappointed! I go here often and love it.

Got the house salad which is romaine lettuce..onion..pimento and artichoke..I would of preferred more onion and pimientos..still was good..and the roast beef and aujus was great..did some shopping while I waited for my food so I overspent..will go back again..

This place of a hidden gem. The food was absolutely amazing. Right amount for lunch and or dinner. They do offer tea parties but you have to book at least 24 hours ahead.

Owner is about to open a 24Hour dinner soon and also owns a local bookstore.

To the previous review (Jennifer) regarding the landscaping; the garden has been out sick and is of old age. The waitress and the owner have been trying to maintain the grounds on their own.

I don't know what a tea room is supposed to look like but this place is quaint and old timey feeling. I'm a big guy and was worried that I wouldn't be full after I ate but was pleasantly surprised. A full chicken wrap with broccoli salad, a cup of French onion soup plus the small bread loaf really did the trick. Cold and hot tea were available. Service was good. Very tasty indeed!

The food and service was great! We had to make reservations and were only able to reserve our table for one hour. They are very busy!

I love this place!!!! The staff is always friendly, the food is awesome and me and the hubby are going tonight for dinner! You must try the Seth's bread for appetizer and then have the Italian beef or Monte Cristo. They are both my favorite!

Friendly staff. Great location. Excellent food. No complaints here.

Great food. Love the decor. Great gifts in the adjoining area. Perfect way to spend some time.
