Since 2010, Grounded's focus has been on serving great food. Our made-from-scratch philosophy & hands-on approach is evident in everything we do. We specialize in gastro-pub fare, BBQ, third-wave coffee, and delicious cocktails. Grounded’s new location at 1545 Carling, embodies everything the Grounded brand has come to represent. Grounded Carling disrupts typical expectations, described as a "hidden gem" with an innovative approach by blending automation with the human element of customer service.

Grounded's space is edgy & creative. The one-of-a-kind dining room features a mix of glass, steel and concrete, an abundance of colorful lighting, and large art pieces from talented local artists. There is a beautiful, lush patio and an abundance of free (validated) parking.

Great ☕:-) I was looking for a breakfast joint that had more than megabrew pot stuff. Had a delicious cappuccino with a great BLT (super bread) Service was fantastic. Phone scan for menu and they validate your parking. It is in the group of buildings (middle one) just east of Churchill on the north side of Carling.

This place lives up the hype! I wanted to try the restaurant for a while, especially the crispy chicken burger, which was delicious! Generous amount of chicken, perfectly crisp and well balanced with sweet and spicy toppings! The fries were crispy, but a little too much seasoning for my likings, still would 100% order again! There was a party when we were there, but the owner made sure we had a great night, by sitting us away from the crowd. Overall, the noise level was fairly low and the ambiance was great. The location of the restaurant may seem a bit odd, as it is inside a building, but it doesn’t have a corporate feel once you’re in, plus they validate the parking which is probably easier than parking downtown. I will definitely go back for brunch, we found the owner very charming and funny!

Great food and service. The location does not speak for the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff. Really worth it. We were happy to find out once inside that parking is free. Try it!

Really liked the food and the ambiance/ environment was really cool. I liked that they had an arcade machine you could play while waiting for food.
