Great cider, nice and tart! Sarrah was the best bartender and has good taste in wine. The Tagabrew charm is genuinely the cutest one I've seen. read more

What great service, Miranda and Sarrah did a fantastic job. Beer was great and food was excellent.

Really friendly staff. We have a little and they were super nice and friendly with him. Bad service so you order at the bar and then they bring it out. Rather quick. Everything we had was good. Decent selection to choose from. Snacks to dinners. Clean and comfortable seating. read more

Rude servers! Didn't even get to eating the food because we were treated so badly when we got there. Went to another restaurant instead and was 100 percent better. Won't return to big hart brewing read more

First, the good things. The food was really good! We started with the brisket nachos and a soft pretzel with cheese. We all commented on how good they were. Then, we went on to asparagus bites and chicken wings. The asparagus bites were perfectly crispy and really nice. The chicken wings were cooked perfectly and even without sauce were delicious. Others in our party had burgers, wraps, a Caesar salad, and macaroni and cheese for the kids. I had a watermelon cooler made with their own vodka. It was a good, refreshing, summer drink. The others had a decent amount of beer and everyone was happy. The ambiance was good and just what we were looking for. We wanted something casual and family friendly, and this definitely fit the bill. However, there were some things that weren't so great. When we got there, there was a sign at the hostess desk that said the wait for food would be 45 minutes. OK, no problem, we appreciated knowing that right up front. It's summer, places are busy, and often there isn't enough staff to go around. When we were seated, we were told to order either by using the QR code, or by going up to a counter at the back of the restaurant. There really isn't full table service, but more like runners bringing out food. We all decided what we wanted and used the QR code to enter everything in our order. But when we tried to complete the order, we just kept getting an error. When one of our party finally went up to the counter to see why we were having an issue with the process, they told us that they had shut down the online ordering because they were too busy. After putting in our order at the counter, we were told that now the wait for food would be an hour. OK, we order some more drinks. Finally, an hour and a half later, we got our food. It was good, and everyone was happy with their meals, but we started dinner at 6:30 because we had kids with us, and by the time the meals came one of them was already asleep. Even if we hadn't had kids with us, an hour and a half is too long to wait for meals to come. I would go back again, because the food really was good. But it probably won't be during high season. read more

Walked in and read sign to grab a menu and seat ourselves. Another sign on table said to order at bar or wait for waitress. I asked a bus girl where to order (there was a bar and also another counter). She said bar. Waited at bar for five minutes while two staff members chatted up two people. No one even acknowledged me. I don't like being completely ignored at any business. We left without ordering. BTW when we went last year, we ordered at the counter, picked up our own food after notification. No tip since it was self serve. read more

7:10 and the kitchen is closed. Don't come here planning on eating. This is a recurring theme.

the food was way over cooked. crappy service didn't see a waiter come to us for over a half hour with empty drink cups.

We always stop here on our way to Ludington. Their wings are the best, and blue cheese dip is amazing too. Also a good choice of beers.

Great beer, awesome food. Very chill place, at least when we went. Only suggestion I'd make is add a TV for some sports at the bar. But, also, may not be the vibe thay're going for. read more

There is RV parking here, hooray! Alas though, there aren't cans to bring home if you're passing through. Big Heart has you buy a glass growler (32 oz, $8) or howler (64 ounce, $10), plus the beer inside. Glass and weight aren't the RV preference at all, but the beer itself is tasty, as were our Ruben and pulled pork sandwiches. The place is adorable, and they sell swag to remember your stop. The food good, and the beer very tasty, and the staff were friendly. Both sandwiches and fries were yummy, but make sure you yourself grab napkins, salt, and ketchup inside since none of the three were in our bag (non-negotiable Big Hart!). Yes, you need to ask for these. With RV parking, this place would make an awesome Harvest Host site, and we'd happily come back and make an night of it. If you're already in town, this would be an adorable lunch/dinner spot. read more

Best burger I have had in ages. This is such a cute place we will definitely return. Don't forget to try the asparagus bites, yummy

We came in and sat at the bar around 3:30pm Saturday May 10th. Bar was not busy. It took a little bit of time to be noticed by the girl behind the bar. She took our order, gave us our drinks then onion rings and fried pickles. After that she disappeared. We didn't see her again until our drinks were gone and I asked one of the other girls fir a to go box. She never checked back with us. She never asked someone else to take care of us. I paid with a credit card and left a dollar tip. When she discovered it, I heard her say "nice" like she was disgusted with her tip. She's lucky I left a dollar. She's the same girl who was quite rude to us when we were there earlier this year. I don't know her name but it was not the tall blonde. This girl signed in under Phillip. Ticket #105 5-10-25 3:57pm. Onion rings were good though. read more

Waitress was super nice food tasted delicious and the chicken tenders didn't taste like chicken tenders. They tasted like gourmet chicken tenders. I would definitely recommend five stars. If I could give it 10 I would give it 10 stars. read more

The highlight here is their drinks. It's a brewery, duh! Food: Big burger with the works + grilled onions, mushrooms and olives is satisfying and delicious! Homemade kettle chips are dark tan (matching the beers), not greasy and fantastic! Drinks: Oktoberfest is quite good though a little bitter for me even at an alleged 21 IBU. Tastes more like 30+ IBU. The lager is much lighter (and easily drinkable), despite its gorgeous coppery hue. Spicy Canadian style whiskey is smooth with the bite of rye. Service: You serve yourself basically, they bring it to you but you order at the counter. Ambiance: Cozy and woody, pretty typical up north interior displaying beautiful woodsy photos, homie and comfy brick walls for the most part and a pretty square paneled wooden ceiling. Fun front porch area with gas-fueled fire pit tables, which we didn't use because it's afternoon and "warm" for an "up North" September. The nippy atmosphere is chilly this time of year, but perfect and expected for Northern Michigan. Great place for drinks and a burger! read more

Nice stop on our cruise around. Great beer and delicious eats! Asparagus nuggets and a Rueben for sharing. Perfect on a sunny Saturday. read more

Big Hart Brewing Company - Nice spot to stop in and sip. Also enjoyed some delicious eats. Asparagus nuggets! Yes to early summer in the MI-then! - Breweries Near Me - Hart, Michigan

Food is great if you don't mind waiting on your self You order at counter they bring food every thing else you do yourself, over tipped cause they only bring you food wouldn't even get you a to go box wow really lazy people It's like a fast food restaurant to me read more

I am in awe of the whining reviews out there! So you have to get your own silverware and order at the Bar- this is so minor for the top quality level of this Chef Managed Kitchen establishment - just get over it or go somewhere else. They clearly communicate the process of ordering etc. it's very simple. This restaurant, like hundreds of others, survived a brutal Pandemic that froze everyone's ability to hire staff easily. Big Hart has wisely maintained a mid size menu from the beginning, and every item is fresh and high quality. This is not where you go if you want a big plate of fried food. Their salads are excellent as are their burgers, sandwiches and the Chef's daily home made soup is always delicious. I am a picky "foodie" and this is one of my favorite places to dine - we take our adult kids and grandkids often. You won't be sorry- put this place on your list! read more

Good food. Loved the fried perch and wish I had ordered more. Ambience - ehhhh. We ate on the patio. Music was loud for a conversation, speaker was broken and buzzing and the selection was hip hop/ rap. Drinks were good and servers were attentive enough for a "order by QR Code" restaurant. read more

Very chill and local spot to grab a couple of Beers. We were able to get spot at counter within a couple minutes. Waitress was very knowledgeable about their specialty beers. We just ordered the Vienna IPA and a refreshing Apple/pear cider with cherry. Both were amazing! Will be back next time to try the food. read more

First time going here after passing it probably hundreds of times on our way up north. Because of Covid-19 they have put in some limitations, which I appreciate!! You do have to seat yourself, then you have to place your order in the back of the brewery. If you get a drink you have to go back to the front bar to pick up. Waitstaff does bring food to you. We sat on the patio and although it was windy, it was nice! Tables are very spaced out right now. The food was delicious!!! Pulled pork sandwich came on a fresh brioche bun with a side of coleslaw (upcharge). Maybe not the best pork but definitely a good sandwich. The Rueben was HUGE and great! Corned beef was cooked perfectly and sliced thin. Each bite was juicy and full of flavor! Served with a side of homemade chips. This meal was enough for me and my son to split. Get the queso dip. Add brisket. You'll thank me later! We practically liked the bowl clean! Served with a side of crispy baked pitas. They have a variety of $6 cocktails in addition to their own brewed root beer and beers. I had a cherry wheat which was really good! Time are different now and restaurants adapt. I'm glad they didn't have a ton of waitstaff walking all over and people crossing paths constantly. I did not mind ordering my own food or drinks. The place got our business! read more

We love their burgers! Best burgers in town. I also really love their housemade potato chips. It did switch from table service to ordering at a counter and having your food brought to the table, but we don't mind at all! read more

After experiencing the format change away from the typical sit-down dining, we won't be coming back. Expecting your customers to wait for a table, wait in line to order and not have any table side service throughout the meal is simply absurd for a restaurant. And to top it off using wasteful single use containers and plastic eating utensils? This is a long way off of your original vision... Might as well serve fair food at this point. read more

We would visit more often if they still had the old menu. You only have a server For delivery of food and drink. You order your own food. The Big Hart craft beer is nice. Many selections of local craft beer Available .. read more

We rode the Montague Hart bike trail on Saturday. Stopped for lunch. Great food, service and price. The outdoor seating was perfect for bikers. My husband had the best pulled pork - I had their burger- it was really good - so glad we found this place. read more

Don't come here if your not a local. Shit service! Watched our server talk to other tables take orders cut up.never again

I don't understand any under 5 star reviews for this place! It is a seat yourself, order at the bar type of locale. Waitstaff was friendly, food was out quickly and everything was hot and fresh. Prices were astounding! $8 for a double cheeseburger with homemade chips. $2 to upgrade to onion rings or fries. I highly recommend the onion rings and garlic aioli. We will be back! read more

The food was awful after waiting 55 minutes for it to come out of the kitchen. The onion rings were cold and hard, the fries were soggy and the chicken was rubbery. I will never return read more

This was our first and last experience at this establishment. The first strike against them is the noise level. Apparently on Tuesdays they have a trivia night with a local DJ. No where on their website does it say that Tuesdays are trivia days, so be warned. Second strike is their lack of waitstaff. They were packed, and I only saw two waitresses. And while our waitress was nice enough, she was stretched thin by the sheer number of guests she had to accommodate. Third strike is the food. My soup was nothing special (French Onion, and the waitress DID warn me), but the worst was the NY Strip steak ordered by another member of my party. She requested the steak to be cooked "well, well done with no pink". She sent it back twice and her steak was still very pink (see photos). Did I mention the cost? It actually wasn't bad. $66 plus tip for four adults and a four year old. The shining star of the evening was the glass of sweet white wine I ordered prior to my meal. It was perfection in a glass. read more

Cannot recommend. Even though the beer was good, the food was not great. The place is nice with outdoor seating However, we came to eat. The fried food was over cooked and dry. The brisket didn't have much flavor. The chicken sandwich also seemed dry. read more

Food was decent, but entire experience was very odd. From seating ourselves, being scolded for moving tables together to fit our party of 8, to the rude bar tender we had to interact with to pay our bill. The whole restaurant needs a lesson in communication and customer service. Having a decent product will only get you so far. Won't be back. read more

Overall it was a meh. We were there on 8/21/2021 early afternoon. Service was great. The food...ok. A bit pricey though. Mac and cheese was $12 and did not taste like mild cheddar. Don't really care for sharp cheddar and since it didn't specify, I didn't think to ask. It needed lots of salt. Also had a burger and was missing seasoning but overall was good. OK... now for the big disappointment. The onion rings. They were crumb breaded and dry. You would think that a brewery would have beer battered.... nope. Again the service team did a great job. read more

It was a rainy summer night so we decided to hang out close to our hotel for dinner. We drove by this place when were checking out the town so we decided to give it a try. It was a Friday night in the summer, so we had to wait an hour for our table, but we actually went back to our hotel and they called us when our table was ready, which worked perfectly! We sat outside on their spacious patio. Our server, Nicole, was extremely friendly and was very honest about the kitchen being backed up (which actually wasn't an issue at all). They had a good choice of their own beers - we tried the blonde ale. It was perfect for a warm summer evening. There were a lot of great choices on the menu. We had the onion rings as an appetizer and they came with a great garlic aioli sauce. We tried several of the soups - chicken enchilada, French onion and the cheddar ale - all of them were delicious. We also had a couple of salads which were quite good too. My daughter, the queen of carbs, got the hot pretzel, with the cheddar ale soup as a dip - brilliant idea! We topped it all off with the HUGE and yummy chocolate cake. Definitely a good choice for our first night in town! read more

Nope. Beer okay. Service not. Couldn't move a table one foot closer because of "flow"? There was no one but our group of 12 in that area. You lost a lot of business today. read more

Used to be so good but unfortunately no longer. Cafeteria style versus waited tables. Waited over 50 minutes after ordering our food for only four people. Quality of food has gone downhill so was super disappointing after that long wait for sandwiches and salads. read more

So here we are over 3 years later and we found ourselves back here. What a change.. Extremely busy which was great to see. Unfortunately the food was very disappointing the French fries had gone cold and were like rubber as they had been reheated. I had the brisket cheese steak.The steak was just shredded roast beef no flavor and my bun was all soggy. My husband paid $5 for a brisket on top of his burger and got what he thought was roast beef..if you offer brisket please cook it right especially when you are expecting something yummy.. Our food was a little disappointing to say the least..we understand this is a crazy weird time,but you can't keep cranking out food like that.. Or maybe you can if your the only game in town..‍ read more

I hope they return to pre covid waitressing...and menu selections. We weren't offered a drink refill until we were getting ready to leave.
