The Spencer Grill

Solid food, pretty fast service. Its for Grinnell College students and faculty, but technically anyone can eat there, so long as you have cash/card.

They really need two people as it gets backed up quickly with the same person running the register and filling the orders. This is not the place if you want quick service and it's not the staff person's fault. Food is pretty tasty. Drink sizes are limited. Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options Dietary restrictions: While they sell items that do not contain allergens they are clear that cross-contamination is possible since nothing is made in a dedicated kitchen nor on dedicated equipment Parking: A very few handicapped spaces anywhere near the building. Regular parking is a block or so away Kid-friendliness: Plenty of kid-friendly options but impatient children will be restless Wheelchair accessibility: Building was built for accessibility although ramps are a bit long and only on end near back handicapped spaces

The Spencer Grill at Grinnell College is a good place to eat, chill and people watch. Heidi, the manager, is awesome and a great person to know on campus. I tend to hang out at the grill to chat with students about their day and classes. If you are unsure about what to eat- get the quesadillas! Whether vegetarian or chicken, you can't go wrong. Great spot.

Awesome place to get work done, and also to work at! Chuck is the best manager ever. Heidi is also a good one.
