    Pork Osso Bucco Special
    Laken S.

    Stopped in on a busy Saturday night and luckily we were able to be seated right away. The ambience was very cozy and historic. People weren't rowdy for a pub setting, and it was just loud enough. We made a great last-minute choice for a memorable dinner. Our waitress was knowledgeable and gave wonderful recommendations. We enjoyed the stuffed mushroom appetizer, served hot and creamy. The fish and chips were excellent. Huge, huge beer battered haddock with a delicious runny tartar dipping sauce. I'm still dreaming of it! The Pork Osso Bucco special was outstanding, according to my dining partner. I thought the pastry at the bottom tasted a bit doughy, but the wine sauce and veggies swimming inside were delicious. Overall we enjoyed our evening and experience at Blackthorn Pub, and hope to return sooner than later!

    Great service, food and beverages. Always a go to destination while in the area. There are new specials that look amazing like the sushi nachos so we will be back to try them soon. They are getting ready for the Lions game tonight with drink specials!!

    Update: My experience was significantly better during this visit. Tried the Wek sandwich again (because I like them); much better this time (still could be more succulent). Service was impeccable. Overall rating raises to 4 stars. However, they still unnecessarily use plastic straws!

    Food is subpar at best. No one greeted us at the door. We sat ourselves. Nothing special about this place.

    I've been there twice now…read more First night (Saturday) there was very loud, derogatory rap music playing. Families with kids eat there, they should not have to hear stuff like that. It was very hard to communicate with the server due to the noise. The actual menu is a lot smaller then what is shown on their website. Especially fish options. I had grouper tenders which were small and mostly breading. Not worth it. Fries were excellent. Tartar sauce appeared to be pure mayo, no sign of relish or lemon at all. Ketchup, mustard, and salt were the only condiments on the table, not sure if anything else was available, like cider vinegar or even pepper. It's a pub, you would think all that stuff to be automatic. Second night (9 pm Sunday) I tried to go elsewhere because of my previous night's experience, but not many other options. Most of Alma was already closed. Tonight there was no music playing, so I was able to have a conversation. I had the olive burger with steak fries, my son had boneless wings with Thai sauce and waffle fries. Everything was very good, and a good value for the money. I guess I need a third night to be a tie-breaker.

    I have been to Bravehearts in the past since family lives in Alma. This past visit was painful…read more This business smelled awful. Basically took my drink to the outdoor patio (which was nice) and ended the night. Although I can't confirm my family member who likes to drink alot said the place was undergoing sewer repairs in the basement.

    Good service, food was good a little pricey but it's 2026 so what do you do…read more They were a little busy on a Saturday but didn't keep us waiting for food or drinks so that's always a good sign.

    We were here on a Thursday night. The restaurant was between 1/2 and 3/4 full when we were there,…read morebut there was not a wait. We ordered around 8:15 PM, a Cuban Crush and a Margherita Pizza, and got our food around 8:55 PM. Between the time we ordered and when we got our food, we did not see our server, Erica G. When we saw her 10 minutes after that, we let her know that some of our food came out cold. Her solution was to reheat the cold food or remake it. After being there around an hour, we really did not feel like staying, so we asked for neither. She sent her manager to talk to us. We did not catch his name, but he was wearing a University of Miami polo shirt. He offered the same solutions. When asked why we didn't have food for 45 minutes, he said a pizza can take up to 15 minutes to make and they were very busy. When I asked what he meant, the restaurant was not full, he asked if I wanted my food or not. I told him no, that I didn't really care for cold food and I was not sure if it was safe to eat. When I asked him that why we had not seen a server from the time we ordered until then, he said "What? Because your drink was empty or something?" At that point, I did not really want to argue over cold food and a waste of time, so we paid for our food and left. It was pretty disappointing to wait 40-45 minutes for cold food. It felt like our server went on break and no one covered for her, or noticed that some tables were going without service. I hope this is not what we should expect from Hamlin Pub. Hard to say if we will return. Picture of Margherita Pizza for posterity.

The accompanying fries were equally tasty and very well made with a very nice crunchy texture. At $10 for a1/2 lb burger and fries, especially ones made this well, This is a great deal by any standard! I also got two cocktails, an old-fashioned and a margarita. The old-fashioned was just OK in my opinion and needed a tad more sweetness based on how I like my drink. The margarita on the other hand was very good with the base being Hornito's Blanco. Nice! Price was quite fair at $10 a cocktail, but not as great of a deal as the hamburger and fries were. Relative to the business itself and the staff, the business is a no-frills blue-collar type bar/restaurant where it would appear to have a loyal clientle. It appears to be a mix between an Irish bar and a sports bar as there are a lot of TVs scattered about to watch the big game. Staff was quite friendly where the waitresses knew a lot of the customers by name. Again very nice! If you are looking for a good burger bar with inexpensive prices, then look no further than this joint. This may have been my first trip here, but it definitely will not be my last!

    Honestly, the burgers and fries are massively amazing. It can get really crazy in here on the…read moreweekends and the caliber of people is all over the place. Cheap drinks. Darts. Loud music and karaoke. It's a fun time.
