Be sure to clarify options when ordering because our waitress didn't seem to care to. Order an entree with choice of potatoes. "What are my choices?". "Baked, sweet potato fries, French fries.". "I'll take French fries.". Check comes with a $3.99 upcharge for French fries. Excuse me? Live and learn. If you're offering choices and some of the choices involve an upcharge, your should definitely disclose that. Otherwise service was great and the food was decent.

Everything was clean, well organized, and overall impressive. The service was quick once we entered and grabbed our seat. My girlfriend had a Bone-in buffalo basket. I got the Zuess Gyro with fries which had beef tips inside rather than lamb. Our food came out reasonably quick - less than 10 minutes. It is worth mentioning that the fries came in at an extra $3.95 which I thought to be steep for French fries. When my food had arrived, it did not have the fries I ordered, so I let the waitress know who was very nice and not only took off the extra charge from the fries but also got me an order of the fries. The gyro was delicious, but as a fan of gyros, I'm not sure I'd get it again. There were a lot of bites with the pita, sauce, and veggies rather than the meat. Additionally, any bite I had with meat in it was a mouthful and had trouble chewing at times (due to the size of the beef tips). The pretzel poppers were phenomenal, especially with that spicy ranch. They were almost like fried cheese curds but with pretzel as the breading. My girlfriend said her wings were good and couldn't finish them all. Overall, the price, service, and food are exceptional and I will confidently say that this is one of the best places to eat in the area and I will be coming back again to try some of their other options.

We were greeted by friendly employees every step of the way. We had lunch, ordered pizzas, and they were delicious. They make their own meatballs.. so good.. Had no problem ordering food with the QR code on the table, but it wasn't real busy and employees also offered to take our orders. We liked the menu and found it impressive, more of a foodie experience. The better restaurants often have a smaller menu and everything is fresh and tasty. We noticed that, it was not dozens of choices but a few, and quality products. Salads, appetizers, sandwiches. Anyway, we came back for breakfast lol... worth it! Ohhh they have wonderful coffee too...... We were here during the last week of July. Anyway, we came back a third time.... for dinner and live music... on a friday night...... this time we had the beer experience too. That was fun! A new experience for us and we enjoyed it, a lot. Gotta rem tho to close out your tab.... btw, We are not big outside eaters, but we saw ppl enjoying themselves outside. Congratulations to the people behind this business, very successful.

The hostess at the front desk was polite, friendly and carefully explained how their system worked. She left the front and came with me to show exactly how their system worked bracelets worked and how you get charged per once of beer, wine and hard seltzer. It was pretty simple, but made complete sense after her demonstration. She answered a few questions and took her time with me, later I noticed her doing the same with other customers. That was a great way to begin my tasting and meal. I decided to try three 5 oz. beers to see what they had and what I liked best. I had an Amber Lager, a Doppelbock and the Lake Huron IPA. All were good, especially the IPA and Doppelbock. Some of the 5 oz. Pours only came to a couple bucks, the beers are individually priced. The Lake Huron IPA was hoppy, crisp and had a good finish (maybe between malty and biscuit). I ordered the Brisket Smoked Corn Street Tacos. They came about ten minutes after I ordered with the hostess (they have a scan menu at the table, but I was told orders can be placed through the counter as well). The tacos were absolutely amazing, the brisket flavor was sweet and smoky, the street corn and lime drizzle was a perfect addition. The order comes with three tacos, which is a good amount...but they were so delicious that I was tempted to put in another order, I resisted and tabbed out after finishing my beer. My bill came to $30 for the 3 (5 oz beer samples), 1 tall pour of IPA and the Smoked Brisket Tacos. I feel that price was very fair for the quality of the beer, food and service. I will definitely come back again and would 100% recommend to beer lovers.

I would rate this place right up there with places in Grand Rapids I go to for drinks. The MDRD at the top of Amway or the high end bar at the Marriott along with a couple other cocktail lounges I frequent. Yet the prices here are 20-30 % cheaper. For a small town this place is incredible. The main guy I always see behind the counter is simply fantastic at his job. Always well dressed. The other workers are also great. I have been here several times on my way to my parents once or twice a month. I'm selective at using my time to leave great reviews. But I really want this place to stick around. So here we are. Even when it's busy, you don't have the same type of loud drunks you will find at the regular bars in the area. It's loud but balanced. And that's because I'm writing this on the Saturday this town is celebrating St Patrick's Day. And it's the most packed I have ever seen it. Yet still nice and jubilant.

We relaxed in the cozy lounge area before dinner. I asked the bartender if I could take the fabric coaster, and she gave me three brand new ones as well as a couple of the branded swizzle sticks.
