Came in on a quiet Sunday afternoon (snowstorm at the time). Service was fast and polite, the ambiance was good considering it's a sports bar and you go there for burgers and a beer. Unfortunately that doesn't make up for the food issue. My party and I split some Mozzarella Sticks which were good, but that's a very basic dish. The issue was with the Duke Burger that came out overly grilled (to the point of being charred on 80% of the surface), which is sad since the actual internals were cooked perfectly. The other item ordered were the Fish & Chips, it came out with 2/3rds of the plate just being french fries, a dollop of mediocre coleslaw, and some actually pretty decent Fish & Chips, just a smaller than average portion. Overall, I want to like this place, but the food was pretty mediocre for price tag. Excuse the lack of photos, I didn't really come in with intention of writing such a negative review. read more

First stop after landing at Grand Rapids airport. Arrived at 9pm, they are open until midnight. I had a Ruben sandwich and my wife had the shrimp and chicken stir fry. The Rueben was killer. Loved it. The shrimp and chicken stir fry was just okay. Very spicy and the chicken was extremely dry. Great atmosphere. Good menu. read more

Dislaimer: in general, sport bars, through no fault of their own, are just not my kind of restaurant. I tend to prefer either slightly more "elevated" or "focused menu" dining OR local spots that feature foods from specific countries / regions (places started and owned by someone who came here from anther country often) over the broad and sometimes oddly curated menus of a sport bar. The menu here definitely had that normal "lack-of-theme-theme" that I'd expect at a sports Bar (burgers? Sure! Lamb chops? Sure! Middle eastern style bowls? Yep! Ahi Tuna? We got that too). We shared the calamari, and I got the lamb chops small plate and my wife got the chicken quesadilla. Around the world in three plates I guess We were really quite impressed - the culinary stretch of being able to do something as quick and simple as a quesadilla alongside something not typically found at a bar like lamb chops, and doing them both very well and serving them quickly, left us impressed. I also love when places have a variety of plates sizes which allow us to lean into our preference of ordering more variety rather than two massive American single-entree portions that we can't even finish. Overall, we were quite happy with our visit, quick service, and extremely quick order-to-meal time! If sports bars are your thing, you're definitely going to want to check out this one! I hope to get back during a Redwings game for a drink and some apps in the near future! read more

Art & Jake's is a new highly welcomed sports bar in the area and it is well-appointed to boot! There is a TV screen in every direction you look, abundant seating options, room at the bar for you and your friends and your friends friends and their friends! The place is massive with a bit of a partially obstructed view concept. While you can see all TV's from any seat, you can't see all the people except for in your area due to partial stone wall partitions throughout the dining floor. The are pretty but take caution leaning up against one as it may snag your clothes or hair. The bathrooms are clean and nicely sized as well. Our waitress was the bees knees!!! She was pleasant, patient and informative! We were there for an extended stay to include dinner and a football game. Although the place was packed, we felt well taken care of! We tried a little bit of everything on the menu. We started with burnt ends and Saganaki (not pictured) both were tasty and enough for four people to share, besides who doesn't like flaming cheese?!?! Our entrees were filling and delicious..enough to munch on for the duration of our time there. (The fries could have used a little help in the crispy category but they had good flavor). For you cherry coke lovers, the bar cherry coke is a must! I'm certain there will be many game days spent at Art & Jake's in our future! Go Green! read more

Service is so-so and pizza was raw when we got it. Ambiance is very dark and there are no windows. I've been to a couple other Art & Jake's locations and this one is no where near as good. read more

Welp! It's ANOTHER sports bar! Huge. Spacious. Marble tables with fire on some - which is cool, but only if you bring 5 or more people. My wife and I weren't a contender for such coolness. Instead we were seated at a large long marble booth. It was a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty full. Maybe 75%. We were greeted and seated. We had a nice server named "Taylor". She was kind and took our drink order. Of course there wasn't any priced menu of beer and drafts. So I asked for a tall 22 ounce M43 and my wife ordered a 16 ounce Two Hearted. Then we sat and looked over the menu. My wife's drink came out 8 minutes later and mine was having the tap changed. It was about 20 minutes all in all to get that beer. I'm glad we had water. I ordered 12 lemon pepper rubbed wings for 16.99 and some fries for another 2.99. My wife got a personal pizza. Another 20 minutes went by. We saw our server a dozen times welcoming other tables and knew she was busy. Finally a runner came out and gave us our food. It was COLD. Cold chicken wings. Cold fries. The pizza was lukewarm. I asked my wife if we should talk to them about it. But no one ever came back to the table. And we were hungry. So we ate. The 12 wings were ok. Half of them teeny tiny meatless wings and the others were drumsticks. They were good. But at $17, they should have all been winners. Finally Taylor came by and we asked for the bill. She promptly printed it out. The shock to me was that my 22 ounce beer was $12. TWELVE. DOLLARS. For one beer. NO WONDER they don't put prices out. And I know bars do it all the time but this was gregarious. My wife had a 16 oz and it was $6.75. But it was double for me for another 6oz? Rip off. And people say, ohh it's the ambiance. Nah. I can get ambiance at a zillion other places. And good food. Warm at least. What a disappointment. Sad thing is, Dave and Busters will be opening about 3 blocks away soon. And this place could have been a contender but will be damn near empty. read more

Taylor was an amazing server! Drinks? Out within minutes Attitude? High and genuine Food? Delicious and cooked right But what I really liked most was how the service Taylor provided made us feel comfortable with Art & Jake's. Like, I didn't feel the need to be worried about the quality of the experience or the service. If possible, we will be asking for her again! read more

This is definitely a classy upscale Sports Bar... with an exciting Menu. The food is delicious . The seating is comfortable but it's VERY COLD. So wear a sweater or jacket There are flame tables all the way to the back that accommodate up to 8 people or minimum of 4. read more

Angel was our amazing server! Food was delicious. They have the opa cheese! Yum. TV's everywhere for sports. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

Mushroom burger was tasty but waitress vanished and I went without a side of ranch for fries. Had to chase her down for our bill too.

The constitution the facility was obviously done thoughtfully by a company well versed in running sports bars. You probably won't find a better TV set up anywhere. The food is fine, solid by sports bar standards. It's the inattentive service that ruins the experience. Every (3 or 4 time) I've been in, and sat at the bar it's the same. It's not that they are ever short staffed, but they never are attentive, or even seem in a good mood. I don't think I've ever witnessed a smile from anyone. I own a couple bars myself. If my staff was giving service like this, they would be getting some service training, so they would improve their game, or we would find other staff. Come to think of it, why are there only ever women working behind the bar? Apparently the old Hooters philosophy of trying to cater to straight men hasn't gone away. I'm always disappointed, so I need to do the self respecting thing and stop coming. Look for a better option, we shouldn't be rewarding poor service with our dollars, even if they have an awesome TV set up to watch the game. read more

Great food and service Servers were great read more

Mackenzie was the best !!! She made this a great night. And she's a Spartan Five stars all around read more

Update to my previous review - I have since been here several times and the sound level has been manageable. I think the first time there was a big sporting event on so it was extra loud. I now would recommend dining in. Just be aware that it might be extra loud if there's a big sporting event on tv. read more

Well,, It's a Mega sports bar' It's overwhelming the noise and dozens of TVs playing sports and a full house of people Talking.. So yeah, Servers were friendly. The steak- melt was pretty good... The onion rings were soft and lukewarm. The Cobb salad was awesome.. So meh..Now you know read more

Big menu. Apps and dinner were great! Good prices on wine and service was prompt. Will be back, would be a nice place to watch a game!

Went right after it opened and was wildly disappointed. Cool Bdubs type atmosphere, but nothing else was very cool. My fiancé got her burger cooked medium and you can look at the photo. It was raw. She hates complaining at places so she stayed quiet. When I saw it I said something to the waiter, he said he would let the kitchen know.... didn't offer to take money off. I followed up with customer service and never heard back. As far as my food, I also got a burger, it was very average. Completely average food at best and the fries were very lackluster. Also, just not a cheap place. I see no reason to ever go back here, other than for the TVs. read more

3rd time here and each time the service and food have been very good, at a reasonable price. Lonie did a great job serving us and making sure we had what we needed. Italian sub, pork ribs and quesadilla were very good. The only thing that was a negative for my table was the lack of an actual salsa; and not just a pico with the quesadilla. read more

Came in here to check out what all the buzz was about. It did not disappoint! Atmosphere as far as sports bars goes is awesome. Very modern with a ludacris amount of TVs on the wall. Staff was friendly and fast, despite it being almost at capacity. We ordered the lamb loli pops and the tuna tiki, both were delicious. I'll be a borderline regular here for sure! read more

atmosphere is very sports bar like. tons of tvs along with tons of seating, that varies in comfort (hightops, fires, lowtops, bar, outdoor, etc). lengthy menu with wide variety of cuisines, and options that you maybe didn't know to crave / want. read more

Food was good, however our waitress at the end asked us why we didn't tip more. We tipped 19% (we did the math in the car after) only because my boyfriend did the math wrong in his head. Tipping is not mandatory and if we could take back our tip after she said that we would. Wouldn't come back due to her service. read more

We have been here a few times. I will say today was the best. The food was hot and flavorful. The service was top tier, Sophia was an absolute rockstar! read more

Riese is OUTSTANDING! She goes above and beyond in her service. Always has a smile on her face.

Came here with my friends who are 22/23 years old. Because they had out of state ID's they told them they had to take them to the back and blue light them. They came back and told them they were fake (they are very much not). All of their managers said they were fake and it took Covid cards, passports, and threatening to call the non-emergency police line to prove them they weren't fake. I totally understand the worry of fake ID's, but if you are going to be an establishment with this sort of policy, you need to be trained well enough to be able to tell if an ID is real or not. You can't just say every out of state ID is fake. After all of that, they didn't even comp the drinks read more

DO NOT ORDER THE GODFATHER! I am very disappointed with my visit to Art & Jake's last night. I'll start off with the good, I think the staff was good. Our waitress said it was her first day, you couldn't tell, she seemed like a seasoned pro. Love the ambiance with TV's everywhere, all turned to sports. When the Michigan State game started the game was played over the speakers. Now for the bad, my food. I ordered the Godfather panini. It was supposed to have Genoa salami, ham, and provolone. When the food came out the person delivering the food referred to it as the Slim Jim (ham and Swiss), when I said I ordered the Godfather she took it back to have the salami added. She brought back the same sandwich, sans salami. A gentleman I assume was a manager came to our table to see how our food was, I said "I think they got my order wrong", he agreed the sandwich was missing the salami. He had them remake my order. The new sandwich looked the same as the first one. Turns out there is one single, thin sliced piece of salami on the sandwich and two inches of ham. I ordered the sandwich for the salami, I almost asked for no ham. The manager came back over, thinking they still hadn't brought my replacement. I told him they had and showed him the single slice of salami and told him I ordered it for the salami. He suggested next time I order the Slim Jim, which was an odd suggestion since I told him I wanted salami, not ham. I could tell he didn't know what to do or say next, I think he agreed, the sandwich was a poor excuse for a Godfather, so he said, "better luck next time". I am a good person, I think it looks poorly on an establishment when they misrepresent the food on the menu. The Godfather wasn't a Godfather, it was a ham sandwich. Even the staff weren't able to figure out what the sandwich was supposed to be. read more

Shared a chicken parmigiana sandwich with fries and it was well done. It was busy but service was good. The ambience is great with many tv's to watch all kinds of sports! Recommend for the sports fan, we will go back! read more

Riese was great, super friendly. Enjoyed the service and the food. Fun environment, will be back!

Wide variety on the menu. Great food and huge portions for the price. This place is super loud though. This is not a place to go if you're looking for deep conversation. Leave room for the desserts! Great new addition to the area! read more

This restaurant was recently opened as of this review and my family has been a few times since as we are desperate for new cuisine - and it has not disappointed! Excellent variety, super friendly staff, and the food has been just really tasty overall. I recommend the boom boom shrimp tacos or the pecan chicken salad with raspberry vinaigrette. read more

The food here is pretty good. They have a lot of options on the menu sure to accommodate everyones needs. The best part was the sweet potato tots they were amazing read more

Ordered to be delivered and onion rings were so horrible. I believe they were made long ago and kept in closed lid. Very soggy. Wrap was also soggy read more

We sat at the bar, the bartenders need training and someone who knows something about abt beer pours needs to check the lines. Every beer, EVERY beer, it's 1/4 beer, 3/4 foam. They will pour 2 beers and pour one into the other glass to try to make a 1/2 mug of beer a couple times. It so wasteful. Mgmt needs to be more responsible and help their bartenders. I did see the gal with long blonde hair had a guy come over and see. He shook his head and walked away. I hope it wasn't the mgr. and for gods sake, pls teach them how to pour a Guinness! FYI, I was a bartender so I know what I am talking abt. Here is the beer waiting to be used in another beer to "fill it up" and the poor bartender trying to pour a mug of bud light and continuously dumping the foam... read more

I came with a group of 4 to eat dinner, we requested fire seating and they had told us fire seating is for parties of 6+. A while back, I had came with a group of 3 and got fire seating. So, is it really only for groups of 6+. As we continued our night, we ordered and food started delivering to our table. They had sat us at a small table which our food barely fit on. Fine, whatever we worked with it. We finished eating and got our bills. We got two different bills with separate orders just to see they were messed up. All drinks got put on one bill and not split as ordered. Although our experience wasn't great at all, the food was pretty good. Recommend: Chicken Alfredo, and Pizza read more
