If you want to have GREAT beer, AMAZING food, and KIND service, go here. It's a homey and cool bar. If you show up more than once, they mention remembering you. They have a dog friendly patio, too. Without hesitation, anytime I'm in Bay City, I'll be back. Food: burger, yes! Smothered chicken, omg yes. read more

Stopped in this place on way to mackinaw island and this place was very cool. Had a great selection of beers and if you have the untapped app your post shows up on their beer menu on bottom. The food was great and had some healthy options as well, I had the chicken wrap and it was amazing. It's not huge inside but very well set up, very good ambience and clean too! I highly recommend this place. read more

Atmosphere: meh Location: a little weird This place is TINY and not comfortable enough to warrant lingering in conversation with good company. The food, however, was quite good. Would return if in the area. read more

Great vibes, yummy fish n chips. Beer selection is outstanding. Loved seeing the Brussels sprouts as a side, the husband loved them.

Service was horrible. Waited 30 min for a water. Felt bad thinking the server may be struggling so we went to order at the bar....server didn't take our order and just walked away. Later said she would be right with us.....never came. We eventually left read more

Came to spend a nice evening listening to live music (Scott Baker) on the patio and have some supper. They were super accommodating to my rather strict diet and the food was great. I had chicken, my son had a great burger. They let dogs on the patio so next time we will definitely bring our puppy! read more

Great place Nice people delish would eat there every day Good selection great prices read more

Is it a restaurant? Is it a bar? Actually it's a Dorfkneipe which is German for village pub, not a Biergarten as the name implies. BTW, Biergarten in a compound word NOT two separate words. I've eaten there numerous times and never had a bad meal, the food is reasonably priced. There's a nice selection of craft and domestic beers on tap for a fair price. read more

I would have never thought to add grilled red onions and pineapple to a burger along with avocado - amazing!! Husband tipped over 20% because the service was perfect!! Bar was clean and very pleasant. They even have an outdoor area. read more

I posted a review about a very disappointing takeout order. That stands, but I want to say that their food is good! The Po Girl, Fiesta Salad, Smothered Chicken, all good. GREAT fries!! However, in the future I will inspect any takeout before paying, tipping, leaving. read more

The food is amazing! For a local business bar and grill the place is no frills but spot on. The waitstaff are very friendly, attentive and educated on the menus as well as the draft beer selections. If your looking for something casual but good this is a hidden local gem. read more

For our party of 5 we were seated immediately. The place was steady and decor was very cool. Bathroom was exceptionally clean. All of us ordered something different. Portions were good size and prices decent. Everyone really enjoyed thier meal. Good selection of food and ale and cider. Would recommend this place. You won't be disappointed. read more

Been here twice, great food and service. Had Asian Nachos which were great. Burgers are great as well. Homemade potato chips are awesome. Good beer selection. Place now on our favorite list!!!! read more

The Bier Garten is definitely one of the best places in town. The pork nachos are fantastic, so this time I tried the Cole's pulled pork sandwich, fries, sweet potato fries and onion rings - all of which were delicious! Their regular fries are so much better than most places. I can't recommend this place enough. I also had a chance to meet one of the new owners - didn't catch her name, but very nice and friendly. Always great, friendly service here, plus great food keeps me coming back. If you haven't tried it, you won't be disappointed. It is well worth the drive. read more

New is not better. Very very disappointed. Positives: Place looks great. They have beer. Negatives: No more Buffalo Burgers. Slow service, 25 mins for a burger. Witnessed the cook touch a wall in the kitchen with their gloves on. Did not wear hair nets or have hair pulled up. Waitstaff sitting at the bar drinking and then waiting on tables. read more

New Owners many changes to the menu and decor Great Service and the conversation wonderful. The Food is always very good. Beer selection is one of the best in the area. Facilities are always clean, no pee on the rest room floors here. Love their chili and Salads read more

I got the "Michigan Salad" at $11, it was disappointing. This place has changed drastically on the inside. In the past we've come in for delicious nachos and bloody Mary's. Now we were disappointed to find our go-to place for relaxed atmosphere and amazing food.... is now a man-bun-donning hipster wanna be. Please change the name or the sign so others can be aware that they will not get what they are anticipating. Boo. read more

Solid juicy flavorful burgers! Lots of options, friendly service, and fantastic tater tots and crosscut fries, hot, crispy & plentiful. Great place to stop for a bite. read more

By far the best restaurant bar in Bay City currently. Clean, and courteous staff with great local brews on tap. At least 10 taps. My wife claims the bloody Mary's are off the hook too! I have yet to have one meal I wasn't happy with. The nachos are crazy good! It's worth getting a side of beer cheese for just about anything. You'll not be disappointed! read more

They provided the best food in a bar in memory, the food was hot, prepared well and the menu was interesting. The staff was attentive not over powering. Clean, friendly well Runk will return read more

My husband and I just moved to Michigan. We wanted to give Bier Garten a try. I'm so happy we did!! Great beer selection, amazing, friendly service and yummy food! We started with the pickle fries- perfect. I had the cauliflower burger that came with the homemade chips. Very very good. My husband had the Dealers Choice with sweet potato fries. We both dug in and enjoyed. The outdoor patio was perfect. We'll be back again for more food and craft beer! read more

Burgers were good. Service was completely sub-par. We waited for over an hour for three burgers. When they arrived, a toothpick was found broken in the bun. We only knew it was there once it was being chewed. We then waited an additional 35 mins for out waitress to come over with the bill. Would not recommend to any friends or family. read more

Under new management, wife and i went here for dinner and drinks. The good: their beer menu is great, plenty of variety and it's always changing. The so so: i ordered the wet burrito, it was a chicken burrito but they made it with jerk chicken. I was hesitant to order because of this but our server said it was very popular so i though I'd give it a go, i wouldn't order it again. My wife ordered a burger, the dealer or something like that. She said it was good but nothing special for $11, you get homemade chips with your burger, French fries are extra, and are worth it...they are very good. As far as facilities, it's very clean and they have multiple TVs to take in sporting events. If we return it will be for drinks and appetizers. read more

The food was mediocre, but that's not why we were there. We wanted beer! Well, the bier garden has a terrible beer selection. If you're looking for Budweiser or mikes hard lemonade, you're good. read more

Great new look and a great new menu. I have to say the pickle fries are the best. Burgers out of this world. I am a big fan.

I've frequented the Bier Garten a couple of times in the past few months. I was impressed not only with the service, but the food was phenomenal. Unfortunately, this evening did not meet my expectations. The Chicken Nachos were subpar. My Chicken Nachos are 100 times better and I use Frito Lay Cheese. Not to mention I HATE to cook. We were given no utensils or napkins and only one plate (maybe the rest of the plates were dirty). We were overcharged and had to bring this to the waiters attention. Worst of all the women's restroom needed major attention. I would like to blame it on not enough help but unfortunately I can't. One of the bartenders was busy holding hands and paying attention to her boyfriend maybe. The second bartender was having a hard time multitasking. The third bartender was trying to clean up after the other two. Total unorganization and not one of the bartenders seemed to care. Not a good look. Come on people it's not rocket science when it comes to Chicken Nachos. read more

This place was fantastic! After deliberating on several dining options, we decided to visit the Bier Garten. Walking in I was surprised at how light, clean, and airy the place was. This is more than your average corner bar to be sure. First the beers/drinks/wine. Excellent tap selection with about 8 high quality craft option on draft. I'm not a wine drinker per se, but they did have a good mix of low and higher end options to satisfy most tastes. Same with liquor. Now onto the food. I had the chicken Caesar wrap with chips. The wrap was good, very fresh tasting, but the chips were outstanding. Fresh cut and fried right before serving. They were still warm on the plate!!! Excellent and I'd definitely order again. We also had an order of fries and mozzarella stick. The fries were ok but the mozz sticks were very good. Perfect coating and melty cheese. The staff was very friendly and helpful too. We heard new owners took over a year ago so if you haven't been in a while, give it a try! Great local Bay City place and I will be back. read more

Was not impressed by new menu, food ok, service was bad. Nothing like it used to be.

They are obviously under new management the inside is redone and looks really nice and more modern. The food was so good! It did take a little while for the food but the staff was so friendly and was prompt on the drinks and it made up for it! Definitely will be coming here more often! read more

Big joke. When you think a place can't get any worse surprise! Place looks better, at least cleaned up some but the food that's another story. The menu is a joke, overpriced and terrible quality. Burgers are frozen, dry, chewy, and tasteless. They try to pass off burned potato scraps as French fries, unreal. They dropped all the big sellers from the past. If you want a burger you would be better off going to McDonald's, if you want a hot dog Mr Hot Dog is a better bite. Salads well Panera is a quarter mile away go get your salad and save $4 get a nicer and better salad then go get your overpriced beer at the garden, you'll be happier if you do. read more

Three of us decided to come to grab some drinks and an app to get out for the night. We got a couple Bell's Hopslam' s and cucumber mint martini. The service was amazing, they were friendly and fun and we loved our experience. Nicole was our server and she was awesome. Quick to help us and just great to talk to. Ayla was our bar tender and man oh man, she can mix up a fantastic drink! Highly recommend, will be back! We got the homemade chips and dip, delish!! Cheers, my friends! read more

Some of the best drinks and service in bay city MI, had a great time. My wife never compliments her drinks but this place meet her expectations. Our waitresses Nicole and Ayla were fantastic. We will be back tomorrow to try the food, just drinks tonight, cheers!! read more

Under new management....much cleaner....cool tap events. That said....menu is ehhhhh.....love that their food isn't greasy....onion rings were great, cauliflower burger was very bland...not bad, but not really good either...my hubby burger was the same. The chicken strips were sick! So gross.....they need a new product: but I still hope this place has promise....the staff is so kind.... read more

Went here for the first time since their new management and the place looks much better! It's very clean and the bathrooms are kept tidy. Only weird thing is how many mirrors there were in the Womens bathroom. They no longer pay your tax but the price is fair especially for the quality of the food. I had the potato poppers and the chicken Caesar wrap, both of which were delicious! My servers name was Maddie, and she did did an excellent job! She said she has been with them since the beginning and they've only been open for a little over a year. The staff was fun and understanding, highly recommend! read more

I love everything about the new and improved Bier Garten! The food is top notch, I'm in love with the home made chips and dip! This is the place to go for a burger, check out the size of those burgers!! The craft beer choices are outstanding and the new decor is beautiful! The waitstaff is super friendly and very attentive. Give it a shot, you will not be disappointed. read more

I haven't been to this place in a while. I heard a rumor that either the management or the owners changed. It didn't change for the better. We used to come for the prime rib which was good for the cheap price, I think it was about $12-$13. Now the same dinner is $19. $19 is normal for a restaurant that does a good prime rib. This looked to be the same quality as before. Except it was worse. The prime rib we ordered medium rare. It was extremely cold on the inside. Which tells me their meats are frozen and they cook them that way, hoping the inside will cook correctly when it's done. They took it back and when it came out it was tough and chewy. The worst part of the evening was after we canceled the order, we could hear the ignorant young chef in the kitchen complaining and swearing about us and that we were wrong about the food. Totally unprofessional. We will not be going back and by the looks of that bar, I don't think a lot of people have been going back lately. read more

Very poor service. Had to finally ask for another beer and when the Barmaid/waitress brought it, it was clearly not what I had ordered previously. When I told her this she basically said that I was wrong and said she would "see what she could do". We were not asked how we wanted our burger cooked and when it arrived the inside was close to raw. She never asked how our food was, even though I didn't eat ANY of my burger. Very disappointing since we enjoyed this establishment previous to the new owners. Will not be back. read more
