After ordering you pick up your food at a second counter. The burgers were cooked fresh and were tasty but I would tell them to hold the tomato, it was really anemic and tasteless.

One of my friends eats gluten-free and vegetarian and she was able to get their grilled cheese on their gluten-free bun. It basically was just like melted cheese but she said it's nice to be able to go to Culver's and not just get ice cream. I always get the mushroom Swiss burger combo with cheese curds or pretzel nuggets and today I had a coupon for a free concrete with that so I got one with Reese's and Butterfinger and it was very good. Culver's is always fast and clean and this one was no exception.

I remember when there was Bagger Dave's down here in the Metro Detroit area, but they've all since…read moreclosed. I liked them when they were in the area, but for the most part, have closed many years ago. Never had a bad meal with them, just didn't frequent them often enough, I guess. LOL. Anyway, I went to Dow Gardens in Midland on July 4th, so getting something to eat on the way home was very limited. Most places were closed and I really didn't want fast food. I stopped at Birch Run since on the way up I noticed that it was partially open, and after struggling to find a sit down place to eat at, I got lucky here. Walking in, the place wasn't busy and I was seated right away. I reviewed the menu and couldn't remember what I'd gotten before, but even if I did, I'm sure they've changed the menu so I went with Dave's cheeseburger with sweet potato fries and an Arnold Palmer. The food here was really good albite slightly expensive. I was willing to spend a few more dollars for a good meal, so I'm okay with that. What I like about dining here is they truly make their own stuff. If I remember correctly, they also make their own pop, and dipping sauces, leaving Coke and Pepsi in the dust. My server was great, and my food was good, so I'd gladly come back here again when in the area. I know Birch Run isn't what it used to be, but I can almost always count on them having something to eat along with some places to shop at when I'm in the area. Plus, they're close to Frankenmuth, which is a bonus. Overall, better then some lunches I've had in the area, and open on a holiday! YAY!

My son wanted to try this place since it was one of the few restaurants in Birch Run we hadn't been…read moreto. After our visit, I understand why it was nearly empty. We started with the Santa Fe nachos and fried pickle chips. The nachos were already soggy when they arrived, and the pickles were cut far too thick and not crispy at all. The portion of sour cream was also too small for the size of the nachos. We didn't finish either appetizer. For my entrée, I ordered the Train Wreck Burger with onion rings. The name ended up being fitting, but not in a good way. The burger was bland, and the fried egg that was supposed to be part of it was barely noticeable. I only ate about half. My son's hot honey chicken sandwich was just average and overpriced, and the fries that came with it were clearly overcooked and not fresh. They were taken off the bill, which was appreciated, but didn't change the overall experience. The restaurant itself was clean, and there are plenty of seating options including booths, high tops, and a bar. The service was polite, but overall the experience felt very underwhelming. For the prices they charge, the food quality simply isn't there. We left disappointed and won't be returning.

The lobby was impressively clean, which instantly made the experience feel welcoming. The employees were so kind and patient -- a huge plus when you're tired and hungry! The food really hit the spot. I loved the chicken strips with honey mustard, and the chicken sandwich was just as good. And of course, you can't beat the classic A&W root beer served in a frosted mug! Such a perfect touch. This was the perfect little recharge stop. I'll definitely be back when shopping in the area!

A&W has made some questionable changes over the years, but too few to really matter. Root beer and I don't get along, when I come here I throw caution to the wind and savor a large, frosty one and pay the price later. It's easily accessible on the campus of the Birch Run Outlet Mall.

Walking in feels like the universe hit pause somewhere in the best way. Same feel, same energy, same kind of place you can count on without thinking twice. It's like being teleported back to exactly where you're supposed to be. And the food? Exactly what it should be. No pretending to be healthy, no overthinking it. Just straight, unapologetic comfort. I go there for one thing every time: the hot beef sandwich. Massive. Smothered in gravy... and I mean gravy everywhere. The kind where you don't just eat it, you commit to it. Fries? Those are getting dipped in gravy too, no question. It's excessive in the best possible way. The portions are out of control. You're not finishing it. You're not even pretending to. You're leaving with enough leftovers for the next couple of days and you're not mad about it. It's the kind of meal that feels a little sinful, but worth every second. You'll deal with forgiveness later. Hometown, no-frills, real-deal comfort food that hasn't lost its identity over time. And honestly, that's rare.
