    Food menu
    Katy C.

    Nate and I are regulars at the 7 Monks Taproom in Grand Rapids, so we were excited to check out the location in TC while visiting recently. We walked right in and sat at the bar. They have a lot of beer on tap as well as several cocktails. The food menu is different than the GR location, with a little bit nicer options (although they don't have my favorite ever chicken Caesar salad wrap). We were just grabbing a couple drinks, so I got a strawberry cocktail with vodka that was very strong, and Nate got a beer ($1 off since he is a Monk Club member and your membership is good at either location). The bartenders helping us out were all really nice. The space isn't as cool as the GR location, but I'd come back and try some of the food!

    Close to Maple Bay. Charlevoix blues and Petoskey stones for miles.

    Doner Kebab with the sweet potato fries dipped in the curry mustard aioli. (Sounds crazy but it works too good!) Sat at the bar. Food was awesome. Blue Belle lambic was awesome. Ingredients on the kebab were fresh, clean, and absolutely delicious. Beer menu is outstanding.

    The lightly fried Perch, 10 stars!
    Brooke K.

    Monday night not much going on in Traverse City but I found this place and it's the best fried perch I've ever had, not that I have ever had fried perch but this was so fresh, tasty and unlike most bar food lightly breaded vs so heavily coated and fried. Delicious!!! Loved Brian the bartender, he had a great knowledge of bourbon and made me the perfect old fashioned. I will definitely be back!!!

    Burger and fries
    Marielle M.

    The burger here is really good and I love the fries. I also got the margarita, but you have to ask for a salt rim. Every time I've been here the service has been really good and the food comes out quickly. There's also a lot of seating available and it's great for bigger groups.

    Burnt chicken fingers and a smashburger
    Kyle A.

    Food was just so-so but the service and ambiance was nice. The chicken fingers were overcooked and burnt. The Brussels sprouts had no sauces so we asked for ranch. The smash burger lacked seasoning and nothing special. Both of us liked the fries though. They were very crispy and had a light coating.

    Bacon jam burger

    Cool spot with local beers and great burgers. Probably one of the best burgers I've had in a long time

    So I want to be cautious here as I know there is new ownership from what I heard. My wife and I…read morecame here spontaneously as we were in town for the weekend. When we ordered, the bartender didn't drink which made it hard to know what certain beers taste like, but honestly, no judgement because he did the right thing and offered tastes of beer which was awesome and helpful! So service wise I would say great! The beer tasted really good as well and was decently priced. They had a bourbon barrel stout which was pretty good and newly released. The biggest issue we had was with the food. I ordered the spam sandwich with chips and my wife ordered the chicken quesadilla. While the food was cheap, the quality of the food also seems that way too based off what we ordered. The spam sandwich was supposed to be teriyaki flavored, and didn't get any of that. There wasn't a lot of thousand island dressing on it too, which made the sandwich dry. The chips that were served were clearly out of a bag as they were cold, which made it seem like I could have just gotten a bag myself. I would have paid a few dollars extra to get something fresh like fries. While spam comes from a can and I know this, my wife's chicken quesadilla had chicken that was clearly from a can - it was sopping wet, and the meat was very chunky, and very salty. This made us worry the rest of the food may not be very fresh. While we did have that experience, I will say the pretzel bites were really good and did seem fresh, and they were sourdough! So that was nice. I think this place has very good beer, and a really cool bar setup with a nice stage, arcade machines, and much more. However, I wouldn't come back here for lunch. Instead, I would make food at home. I would highly recommend more fresher options, and I would pay a little more for better quality food.

Apparently the brewery used to be a family video store, but the brewery was built about seven years ago. They have a super nice patio with a cool fire pit (I went inside due to a lot of rain), a food truck was also at the premises (but I did not order from them). I was greeted right away by the bartender and we discussed a few beers I might like. I ended up ordering a Marzen style (I was told by the bartender it was some of their Oktoberfest that had been fermenting for an additional five months). It was a nice beer, crisp taste with a little more hop profile than what I'm accustomed to in a Marzen. The high top table that I sat at was close to the metal brewing equipment, but had a view of the TV. I enjoyed the music which seemed to be a little bit of everything rock. The second beer I ordered was Schwarzbier, a style that I don't order very often. That beer had a darker color to it, but was really well done with a great profile and caramel notes on aftertaste. I liked it a little bit more than my first beer. If you're looking for a place to try some new beers, I would recommend silver spruce. They aren't trying to do a ton of everything (lots of food or multiple beer choices), but what they are doing is providing a cool place to have a good beer.

The 1/2 pound burger is topped with Fried Cheese, Fresh Jalapeño, Pulled Pork, Cole Slaw, Haystack Onions, Bourbon BBQ Sauce. The burger was very good with a few caveats. The pulled pork is very average and doesn't add anything to the burger. The fried cheese was very good and did add to thd burger. The bourbon bbq sauce was meh and didn't add much. However the meat itself is excellent and I think a plainer burger would have been better. The fries that came with the burger were very good. I also ordered a Chocolate Shake and it was fantastic. the service was very good and everyone was very friendly. Overall a solid 4 star review. Would I return? Absolutely. Definitely for the shakes and I very much believe a simpler burger would have been better.
