The folks here still talk about how the train engineers used to stop the train to get a bite to eat and block traffic for miles. Well, they no longer block traffic while they eat dinner, they stop short of the highway crossing. But they still stop for dinner and you can too. Granger has grown into a community of some 30,000 people and we have the best restaurants in the area. And yes, that’s the owner in the kitchen.
