A few things that if addressed would be great....prices are a bit steep, almost to dark in the room (VERY difficult to see/read menu), put lighting on tables if going to keep that dark / and charging for ranch dressing for dipping sauce for already pricey pizza and offered by wait staff ??? Crazy and greedy imo $$$. Be great if tall and short size cocktails be offered $5/$10, especially in Bloody Mary's...and in the bloody Mary's olives, small tomato, and a dill gherkins, get rid of the dill pickle skin is too tough too even bite through and ditch the big ol' pepper (a waste as most people don't like them). All menu items about 10% overpriced, good food but then you also expect your patrons to add a 20-25% gratuity on top of the already inflated check total Can definitely recommend the food, but a few issues addressed would make the place a 5 star rating imo.

One may initially balk at the slightly more-expensive-than-chains price, but once they take a bite, they instantly know why. The cheese tastes like some of the freshest mozzarella you can buy.

The staff is friendly, the service is good, and the pizza is unbeatable. One of the best kept secrets in Michigan.

Came in a few days ago. Sad to find out that the main day cook quit I think his name was Zach, some guy with a beard is no longer working there, because he made the best burger I've ever eaten in my entire life, and even came out to make sure that it wasn't over cooked considering I ordered it medium rare and he made sure the fries were crispy enough because I asked them to be as crispy as possible and he delivered, even asked if I wanted any special seasoning on them which was not on the menu. Cooks almost never come out and make sure the food is good and I can tell he genuinely cared even though he was cooking for multiple tables with many people at a time I didn't feel left out, along with the bartender who was serving my drinks which were cheap and strong but not too strong which is rare to find. Either way the food was good this time as well and the music on the jukebox was a bit loud and I asked them if they could turn it down and they politely obliged. They even asked me if there was anything special I wanted to watch on tv and gave me the remote. The pool table is free which is rare and the bathrooms are much nicer now that it's been slightly remodeled with the new owner. I don't live in Jackson anymore but whenever I'm home visiting I make sure to come down no matter what. Very diverse crowd as well which was nice to see, everything from young black folks to 80 year old white men. There was a rap music playing on the jukebox, yet golf on the TV, I've never been in a bar so diverse when it comes to Jackson Michigan. Just a friendly accepting atmosphere all around. Didn't see the new owner anywhere but honestly he didn't even need to be there because his employees knew what they were doing, that's for sure !!!!! My one single complaint was that they didn't have Bud Light draft, they ran out but to make up for it they gave me a Bud Light bottles for the same price ! Really can't think of a single complaint besides the parking lot being full of potholes lol !!!! Will definitely be back with a group of friends the next time I'm in town read more

Place is a ZERO. First time I've seen veteran discrimination in Michigan. You can find it at Brass Rail that's for sure. Top of the line rude! Sorry you won't serve Soldiers and Marines, really seemed random but directed at the three of us. Once a great neighborhood bar, it changed hands recently, and went to hell. Another Jackson 'Grotto,' just for the elite, I guess. VFW goers, Legion goers, all Vets, please flip the bird at this place. They will do it to you, they did it to us. Hell, I didn't even get a drink, much less raise hell. Booted at 3:30 pm for walking in, Nope we we're drunk. Just accused of it. read more

It's…read moreoff the beaten path but not too far off the highway which is surprising because as soon as you pull in you almost forget you're in lower mid-Michigan. This place gives off major "Up North" vibes! You always kind of worry about how good or bad the food will be when the parking lot is empty but turns out they had just opened and we were some of the first customers of the day. By the time we were finished the parking lot was filling up. Our family of 5 ordered the small meat plate (pulled pork, ribs, brisket), fries, greens, kids chicken tenders, kids cheeseburger, a couple brownie sundae's, and a few beers & pops. We enjoyed all of it. Personally, the brisket was my favorite. There wasn't anything too special about the fries, they were basic, hot, and delicious. The greens were tender and were Carolina style (could taste the apple cider vinegar). No complaints from the kids which is always a good thing. The brownie sundae was huge! We shared and could have easily split just one. Now here are the most "expensive" things that didn't cost any money. As soon as we stepped out of the cars you could smell the cherry wood. Luckily, the smells are free or I would have been broke. Our server didn't seem like she wanted to be there at first (who can blame her, it's work on a beautiful day) but she warmed up to us and we ended up leaving her a nice tip. The food runner was an older lady and she was so charming and even brought out a bowl of water for our dog. One of the managers stopped by to make sure everything was tasting good. The man smoking the meats thanked us for stopping by as we left with our stomachs full. Then a patron in the parking lot chatted with us for a few minutes. Kindness, attentiveness, and common courtesy are lost arts and go a long way in my book! We'll definitely be back. In fact, we're heading there now with the rest of the travel baseball team to enjoy good food, kind service, while we kill some time before the next game. Dang it, I just realized I didn't photograph the food but if you've seen a plate of smoked meats then you can imagine.
