    Pulled Reuben
    Sinnamon S.

    OMG! One of the best Reubens ever! I'm giving it a 10, if it had true rye I'd be giving it a 20!!! Moist, juicy, & delicious. Comes with fries but I opted for cottage cheese. And ya gotta love a fabulous bartender to brighten the experience. Monday night football on 7 TVs made it entertaining as well. Friendly hostess, and engaging sever, which made up for the rude, and short personality of the waitress. Small, yet cozy atmosphere was pleasant. Outside dining, also with televised sports. Couldn't get an answer as to if they close of the patio or close it in for the winter mo. Waitress just looked at me like I'd grown a 3rd arm when I asked x

    This is still our favorite; must have spot when visiting GR! We shared potato skins and our table had a kids spaghetti, nachos, Caesar wrap, and a wet burrito. We all enjoyed our meal and service was excellent.

    Wet Burritos

    The wet burrito is the best I have ever had Enough said. We can't get wet burritos in northern Kentucky so whenever I am Michigan it's a must There is other fantastic things to eat but always for me a wet burrito

    Mushroom burger.

    I liked the ambience I felt like I was on vacation with my grandma as a kid. I can't explain that feeling but it was a good feeling. The food was good however I got pretty sick later on in the day. Service was pleasant. No complaints really except the sickness that could have been from anything.

    This place was awesome! It has such a nice small town vibe inside. When we went, it was all decorated for Christmas, including the giant mounted Moose that was dressed as Santa There's a bar as well as plenty of tables and booths. The booths are smaller which is actually quite nice for only two people. There are several tv's that had sports playing, and the bathrooms are right by the entrance. We got to seat ourselves, were helped and served promptly. The parking was kind of funky in the front, as there is a big hill when you enter the parking lot, but there is plenty of parking behind the building, and it is even terrain for walking in. For our two meals and two drinks, our total was $35 ish. We didn't go during any specials, but they do have good Happy Hour and weekly specials!

    Meatloaf
    Sujoy S.

    I was looking for a quiet dinner at a not so crowded place and this was perfect for me. The service was fast and efficient.. the mule was cold and no complaints on the meat loaf. Would have been a five star review if not for the raw piece of potato in the mash.

    $9 for this plate of deep fried pickles...on a bed of lettuce?
    Kristyn H.

    Service was absolutely excellent! Tastes were good, the fries were spot on! But a couple of things needed improvements for me. Such as the tiny portion of deep fried pickles served for a whole $9- maybe other restaurants have given me high expectations. Second area of improvement would come from the grilled chicken, it was just SO DRY. Thank goodness the mac and cheese was super ooey and gooey to help somewhat moisten the chicken breast.

    Happy hour

    English style brewpub and a favorite for the locals. Huge fan of their rotating Cask Marque beers,…read moreso make sure to ask what's on tap for the day. Atmosphere is always bumping--there's live music and other themed nights and it was jam packed on a Tuesday night. Vibes and beers are unmatched in my opinion. Big fan of the Golden Ticket and the Wilde Irish Red Ale or again, whatever is on cask. As far as the food goes, it's definitely... brown plates all around. Fryz'licious was slightly overpowering with the amount of beer cheese slopped on there, but a good bite with some hot sauce. Big fan of the beer cheese. Those Nantucket Backing pretzels are 10/10. Fish and chips weren't great. Not a lot of fish--two pieces with more batter than cod. Sort of disappointed with that. St. Patrick's Day specialty menu replaced their chicken pot pie with a sheperd's pie and a Bailey's cheesecake. Sheperd's pie was a good bite, exactly what I'd imagine lamb, mashed potatoes, and peas/carrots would taste like. Cheesecake was heavy handed on the booze, but a good palette cleanser after all the fried food.

He made our beer tasting fun and gave us so much information about cask beer. The variety is great, based on English and Irish grains. The cask- a must get. They hand pull 4 varieties along with their draft. Great stuff. Ask how it's made- super interesting. The brewery is located in a plaza, quaint and quiet-so don't overlook it. Ask for Conner if he's there- and thanks for a great end to our trip!

The kinda place you enter and the bartender's outside smoking a cigarette and goes, "Be right in, doll." The space is huge. It kind of reminds me of a community hall. Went on a Saturday around 3/4pm and every seat at the bar was filled. The drinks are cheap and strong. The locals seems to all know each other -- lots of shouting across the bar and asking what everyone was doing next week or for the current holiday. Really nice vibes. The bartender was attentive too. Really sweet. Honestly, I liked it a lot -- it's a lil' shabby but also two dollar drinks that were hella strong. So come on, be real.

Much cleaner, more friendly, better service, and more accommodating to those "not regulars"

We arrived right at 5 pm on a Friday and the place was almost full already! We were surprised but happy for them, and glad to get a nice cozy two-top in a back corner. We were greeted by our awesome server and ordered some food -- two different mortadella sandwiches and an order of fried pickles to start. Neither of us ordered drinks, but I saw some fun-looking cocktails coming over to nearby tables. The fried pickles came out first and they were perfection. I don't usually get this appetizer because I don't like fried pickle spears, but these were thin chips. The ratio of the fried pickle chip vs. spear is way better. And these came with the best runny ranch. It was a huge portion to split between the two of us, so we had lots left over. Our sandwiches came out shortly after and looked amazing. They were super stacked with tons of meat! I really liked the addition of the grainy mustard which helped cut through the fattiness of the meat. My friend liked hers - it had pistachio butter and ricotta (similar to a delicious sandwich I ate at a wine bar in Detroit). Portions are large and it's a cozy, neighborhood spot. They have rotating food features and are always helping out their community with free meals and other philanthropic ventures. Check them out!

We were seated quickly, the interior was nicely decorated with Mardi Gras beads. It took a while for our server to come to greet us and eventually bring our drinks. I enjoyed the variety of drink offerings! I was torn between a few items and asked the servers recommendation. I ended up choosing a Korean chicken bowl. The flavors were okay but for almost $20 felt a bit lackluster. Our friends told us the burgers are a must try so maybe in the future that would be what I try instead. Our server seldom came to our table, we had to flag her down to order more drinks and even then she forgot and we had to remind her we placed another drink order. The restaurant was not very busy and we could see her chatting with a table that seemed like employees or family members of employees as people were coming in and out of the kitchen to sit at the table. We had a table of four (two couples) and the server would not split our bill which was fine but a bit inconveniencing. I appreciate local, family owned businesses but felt that our experience was a bit off on this night. I love the mission of Two Guys and their community engagement so I will likely try them again, it could've just been a rough night.
