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.

Really enjoyed our visit to this pub. The service here was great, staffing was limited but you…read morewould have NEVER have known. There was a care for customers that is a little more uncommon during these difficult times. Jen was our server/bartender, she had some great advice on whiskey tasting and mixed some solid cocktails....even has her own creations. Delish! The food was unique too. Really liked the jalapeno/onion strips and battered green beans. Delicious olive burger and waffle fries. If you're looking for a place to relax and enjoy a meal, want a taste of pre 2020 service, this is a great bet. This industry continues to be plagued with labor shortages and I don't envy them one bit but it sure is refreshing to hit those high notes during these difficult times while enjoying a good meal and supporting a small business. I can tell that the good people of Braveheart Pub really appreciate it!

I ordered their Olive Burger and asked them to toast the bun. I added cheese, lettuce, and mayo too. Let me tell you--this burger was amazing. I've eaten burgers in lots of places, even at Szot's before. But today's burger? It was the best one yet. The bun was warm and crispy, the toppings were fresh, and the olives gave it a tasty kick. I liked it so much, I stopped talking just to enjoy it. If this burger was running for mayor of Big Rapids, I'd vote for it twice!

Delicious. Like a four napkin burger haha. It isn't overly large, although a 12 ounce option is available. It's just bar grilled goodness with shredded lettuce and packed with flavor. The inside reminds me of The Bird in Mt. Pleasant. The waitress was great, refilled drinks without asking and it was busy but not packed around 3 on a weekday. Also had sweet potato fries and they were perfect darker orange but not burned. Lunch for two was $30 for 2 burgers and soda.

Her French Dip had very little meat on it and a lot of bread. She had to ask for the Horseradish Sauce that was supposed to be with it. She did get plenty of chips. My dish had very good flavor but the portion was very small. I believe my dish would have fit in a one cup measure. My dinner was $38.00 and would have been worth it if the portion was larger. Nothing came with it, just the tortellini. We were both disappointed in our meal and service. This place used to be great but not so much now.

I decided to keep it nice and simple and went with a bacon cheeseburger with fries. The fries are hand cut and I am a sucker for any fries prepared this way. I ordered my burger medium with pickles but was told condiments were added to the sandwich so I went with ketchup and mustard. The burger was hand patted, juicy and the fries were soft in the middle and not over cooked or oily. I was a happy camper after my meal and my only criticism would be that there was a little too much mustard on the burger. I feel customers should be provided with condiments at the table so you can put how much or how little on your sandwich sandwich. Overall, kudos and thanks a million Crissy and David :).
