I just want to say that I loved the atmosphere and vibe of this place. I would give it 5 stars for the beer, cocktails and fun. But it's the food that was just a miss for me. In fact, I will say that I am not a fan of their food at all. We tried 3 things. Curry Fried Rice Balls, Pork Belly Fried Rice Bowl, and Korean Beef (sandwich) with fries. Curry balls had decent flavor but came out warm on the outside and cold on the inside. Pork Belly bowl was just not good. Pork was okay but rice was bland and it was 90% rice in the bowl with very little else. I did not taste the kimchi in the rice at all. Lastly, Korean beef was okay but definitely did not taste anything like Bulgogi. Despite the disappointing food, I did not want to give the place a bad review. I think the beer is great. And the cocktails were fun. And next time, I will definitely reserve a pickleball court. Even the little arcade was fun. Overall, we had a fun date night even if food was just meh. Next time, we will eat somewhere else but definitely come here for adult beverages and pickleball. Posted some pics of the food ... points for presentation.

I've decided that Broad Leaf is my favorite brewery in the Grand Rapids area. It's definitely the most unique and cool of the ones I've visited. The vibe is industrial, artsy, and eclectic and the food menu is Asian inspired and so tasty. The space is huge and great for groups. They have shipping container seating which is really fun, and they just opened their indoor pickleball court as well as kick pin, which is a bowling game with soccer balls. They even have an arcade as well as board games you can play while there. It's pretty kid-friendly and their patio is dog-friendly too. Another fun feature at Broad Leaf is their community board where you can purchase a drink for a future visitor. Be sure to check out the list behind the bar! (It can be a specific person, or it could be more general like "a GRCC student in the brewing program.") I also liked the "beer ball" (skee ball) game - if you get a high score you could win a prize. Order food and drinks at the bar and they'll bring things out to your table. The employees I've encountered are all super friendly and helpful. The menu has some vegetarian and vegan options, but not a ton for our keto friends. We tried the Korean broccoli on our most recent visit, which was crispy and slightly sweet and so delicious. I also love their fries and their housemade sauce options. The menu changes pretty frequently. They host lots of fun events like trivia, karaoke, vinyl night, book club, and different themed food events. It's just a really fun, cool spot that I always enjoy checking out. It's definitely worth a short drive from downtown!

Picked this place after reading that they had a dog friendly patio, and it turned out to be one of the best meals I've had in Grand Rapids! The staff were welcoming and helpful from the get-go, and the Tofu Katsu Curry sandwich was PHENOMENAL. The fries were indescribably delicious and had great texture. 10/10

Recently came back to Broad Leaf to check out their new pickleball courts! This place has changed quite a bit since the last time I posted a review. They have a cool arcade section + a ton more seating. They also have 2 pickleball courts and a kickpin lane. My friends and I booked a court online a couple days in advance. It's $30 per hour and you have to sign up for a free member account online before doing so. We came in and had dinner before our court reservation. We arrived at 630, ordered by 645, and had our meal around 7ish. The snow Katsu sandwich was really good! I loved how crispy the chicken was. The fries were also tasty. Our reservation for the court was at 8 and we felt we had enough time to eat and sit for a little before going to play! We brought our own gear but I believe they have paddles you can rent for a small fee and they also have a box of indoor pickleballs. I will say that it was kinda confusing when it was time for our reservation. It doesn't seem like there is anyone to really check in with or confirm details with and there was another group on our court who we had to ask to move.

Came here for the cocktails/drinks and they did not disappoint. Got a little hungry so ended up getting some bowls and was pleasantly surprised. I would absolutely come back here for the seating set up. Nice big tables for large crowds with great music and board games to play while hanging or waiting for your food.

During my trip to Grand Rapids, I was told that Broad Leaf has a new location on Bridge St. but I need to checkout the original Kentwood location first if I have never been. So...to Broad Leaf I went! Here's my take on the experience: Quality of beer and food: great. They had over 15 beers on draft in every spectrum of style from Porter to sour to Kolsch to IPAs. I really enjoyed their Chromatic Shatter which is a Juicy Pale Ale. For food I tried their Togarashi Fries which were fries topped with toasted sesame, orange peel, nori, and chili flakes. They were nice and spicy and came with a few unique sauces to dip them in. Next, I tried their Buldak Chicken Carbo noodles that came with chicken, peas, onions, bacon, soba noodles, and Buldak sauce. It was good but not even close to the heat level of the very famous Samyang Korean Buldak noodles that you can find in Asian grocery stores. Thankfully....the staff happily brought more Buldak sauce which make my taste buds very happy. Décor: pretty cool. I love their skull logo with a leaf cutout for the nose. The whole place looks very bright and inviting. Since it was a Tuesday, they had trivia going on which was fully playable over a smartphone. There were also a few arcade machines in the back if you wanted to escape for a little bit. Cleanliness: good. The tables were being kept clean. Service: good. The folks behind the bar were very friendly and inviting. Price: good for beer but kinda pricey for food. My bowl of Buldak noodles was $18 which is more expensive than most Japanese Ramen places. The noodles should have been more like $12 since it's kind of a small-ish bowl for 1 person and didn't have a whole lot of ingredients. If you're in the mood for some delicious beer and food with a fun vibe then checkout Broad Leaf on 28th St.

Great pilsner!

Fun local brewery, now with pickleball courts! They also have an arcade area and board games available. Located in a great location for those staying in one of the nearby hotels and looking for something to do within walkable distance. Staff is friendly and beer is cold. Cool live edge wood bar. We had a couple of very good pilsners. We tried the curried rice ball app and it was very good! Order came up fast. Items I've tried tried a few items on the menu during past visits but didn't care for them... The menu could be refined a bit. Order and pay for food and drink at the bar. There are picnic tables outside and dog doo bags available. REALLY inclusive! (Thank you). We will be back

We came for the seasonal biscoff cookie and stayed for the Dubai chocolate espresso martini…read more We were In and out with their quick service during happy hour. The $13 meal deal is a great week night fix with an entree and a dessert. Go for the chicken for sure! The margarita flight was also popular for the group. Check out these seasonal desserts before they're gone and tryna some of their house made sodas while you're at it.

Went for dinner with my wife last Friday night around 745pm. I made a reservation online for 8pm,…read morebut we were seated right away and probably didn't really need the reservation. It was pretty full, but they had a few extra tables for any walk-ins. The menu has a huge variety of food so you'll find something for everyone. They also have some great meal deal specials that include a drink, entree and dessert. The highlight of the night though was our server, Emalee. She was probably one of the most attentive servers I've ever had at a restaurant. She's extremely friendly and you can tell she is hustling to make sure her tables are well taken care of. My wife and I actually started joking that our table had a microphone, or she could read our minds, because every time we needed something she was already on top of it. Even to the point that I dropped my napkin and she delivered a new napkin roll without me even seeing it. I was as if it appeared out of nowhere. We had a wonderful time at BJs and will definitely be back.

A cold, rainy, day calls for something hot and filling, so Buddy's was our choice. It was a quiet…read moreafternoon, with few patrons, and less staff, so we found our table, ourselves. Parking is easy, and convenient. They have ton of pizza, styles, flavors, and crusts. We settled on the "Build your own" pizza. We chose the Detroit style, four piece, with original crust. It was the perfect choice for our eating wants and needs. We added pepperonis onions, mushrooms and black olives. Service was slow, but the friendly waitress made it more enjoyable. Overall, the pizza was OK. It was a little burnt, and hard to cut. The taste was pleasing. I must admit that my favorite is Chicago deep dish pizza, sorry Detroit fans. But i feel that it is one of the better pizza places in GR. If your not a pizza fan, they have several other option; burgers, salads, and sandwiches. Check it out.

Saturday night around 6:00 was packed! Had a large reservation for a birthday dinner and the table…read morewas ready to go. Our server, Hope, was great! We had a movie to catch so she got our pizza orders in first then came back and got everyone's drinks (so smart). As busy as they were, we knew the pizza would take awhile. Perfect timing. We got everyone fed and out in just over an hour. I split a BBQ Conant 4 square (yay to all corners!) with my husband. I could have eaten more than 2 but it was great because we were getting movie popcorn after. The BBQ Conant: Wisconsin brick cheese, grilled chicken, red onions, fresh cilantro and Buddy's BBQ sauce. - Some of the cilantro is extra crispy / brown out of the oven, but overall liked the addition of cilantro. At some point, I need to come back for the Vernors float! Tip: Found Buddy's frozen pizza at the grocery store and it comes pretty close if you want a bake at home option.
