Stopped here with my wife on our little Valentine's Day excursion into the thumb. She got a pulled pork Po'Boy with the sweet BBQ sauce and I got the Brisket Po'Boy and mixed the blueberry and bourbon sauces and we added on a large cajun fries. They were pretty busy, but still only took about 20-25 minutesto get out order out. Both sandwiches came and were huge, with slaw, the BBQ choice and had tomatoes on top (which I was a bit skeptical of), but all doubts faded with a few bites. There's definitely an underlying spiciness to it, probably from a good pre-cook pice rub, and the blueberry and bourbon sauce risk turned out better than I could have hoped. Cajun fries were delicious. Good local soda choices, and, even though it seems set up like a grab-n-go place, they have plenty of table space and aren't rushing you out the door if you want to stay. It was a good date.

Loaded Fri

Absolutely delicious!!!! We discovered this place at the cheeseburger festival three years ago and every year we make it a point to visit them for the festival. Then I decided to check out the physical location as well, and they did not disappoint! It was the same as what they have at the cheeseburger festival! I love this place! Excellent food, large portions and very very modestly priced! I don't understand how anyone could give them a 1 star rating!? They are the highlight of the cheeseburger festival for me. They smoke the patty instead of grilling it which gives it a very unique taste and it's something different. My sister was not a big fan of the smoked patty but there are many other options and everyone else I know loves it. Thank you all again :)

Fish and chips are best anywhere according to my husband…read more.. Service is also excellent! Burgers are great as are the fries. Our Son and grandsons enjoyed them immensely! Myself I don't eat lettuce or gluten so not many selections for me but I ordered a basket of tater tots very yummy and went home and had my usual salad and a protein drink.

Old Detroit Burger Bar has a fun location right in downtown Lapeer, surrounded by locally owned…read morebusinesses. After lunch, it's easy to spend some time walking around, grabbing ice cream, checking out the nearby thrift shop, or just relaxing on one of the shaded benches under the trees and enjoying the small-town atmosphere. The restaurant itself has a cool bar vibe with dark wood, automotive-themed décor, and plenty of Detroit-inspired burger names. Even on a Friday afternoon, the place was busy with people enjoying drinks, so I can definitely see it being a popular hangout. The service was excellent. Our waitress was attentive, checked on us often, and kept our pop refills coming without us ever having to ask. Our food arrived quickly, hot, and fresh. The burgers were large, juicy, and had some creative topping combinations. I ordered one topped with a fried egg, expecting the yolk to add richness like it usually does on a burger, but the egg was completely cooked through with no runny yolk at all, so it didn't really add much. Overall, I found the burgers to be underseasoned. They looked great, but the flavor was a little flat and could have used more seasoning. The waffle fries were crispy and probably my favorite part of the meal. I also ordered a side of cheese sauce to dip them in, but it was so thick and gelatinous that I couldn't even get a fry into it, which was disappointing. We also ordered the corned beef egg rolls, which were very greasy. The outside was crispy, but the wrapper was thick and a bit doughy inside. The house-made ranch, however, was excellent and paired well with the fries. For three burgers, one appetizer, three pops, and about a $100 bill, I expected the food to wow me a little more. It wasn't bad by any means, I just wasn't as impressed as I expected based on all the rave reviews. If the food had a little more seasoning and the egg rolls, cheese sauce, and overall execution were improved, I'd enjoy it much more. I'd still give it another try, especially for the atmosphere, location, and outstanding service.

The bar was quiet, calm, dark and cold but seemed like a chill vibe. Our waitress was okay, service was quick and she did her job well but didn't smile and wasn't very talkative or seemingly friendly. We asked what her favorite appetizers were and we ordered the Loaded Potato Balls based on her recommendation - they were great! 10/10! Loaded with flavor, very moist and served with 3 sauces - ranch, spicy ranch and sour cream. The ranch and spicy ranch were not great - tastes like they're bottled not homemade. The sour cream though, that was a good compliment. We both ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich - 10/10! They're hand breaded, juicy and tender chicken breasts topped with lettuce, tomato and mayo on a perfectly warm brioche bun. Our meal was served so hot, it was perfect. I would absolutely go back just for this sandwich! The homemade chips for the side were great, crispy and lightly seasoned. I had the tater tots with mine and they tasted freezer burnt, wouldn't get them again. We also had a side of their house made coleslaw and it was perfect, ice cold and a great balance of flavor. Draft beer wasn't super cold - it would be better served in a frosted glass. Overall- it's good, we'd come again! Next time we'd sit at the bar top as the bartenders seemed to enjoy more casual conversation and friendly vibes with their customers.

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'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.

We started with the Santa Fe nachos and fried pickle chips. The nachos were already soggy when they arrived, and the pickles were cut far too thick and not crispy at all. The portion of sour cream was also too small for the size of the nachos. We didn't finish either appetizer. For my entrée, I ordered the Train Wreck Burger with onion rings. The name ended up being fitting, but not in a good way. The burger was bland, and the fried egg that was supposed to be part of it was barely noticeable. I only ate about half. My son's hot honey chicken sandwich was just average and overpriced, and the fries that came with it were clearly overcooked and not fresh. They were taken off the bill, which was appreciated, but didn't change the overall experience. The restaurant itself was clean, and there are plenty of seating options including booths, high tops, and a bar. The service was polite, but overall the experience felt very underwhelming. For the prices they charge, the food quality simply isn't there. We left disappointed and won't be returning.

My wife and I were returning from a funeral in the tip of the thumb (Bad Axe / Port Austin) and…read morewere taking a relaxing ride home. As a Tag-a-brew collector, we noticed that Innovations Brewing was on our route so we stopped. We came in shortly after noon on a Sunday so we were quite surprised that they were even open, let alone there were other guests in the Tap house. We sat up to the bar (which is our habit when collecting charms) and started a conversation with our server Laura. My wife and I are pretty easy going and Laura opened us up like a can of tuna... next thing you know we're talking about retirement, grandkids, the weather, etc. We ordered a flight to determine what we liked, finished that and ordered a small glass and an appetizer. Everything was amazing. The beer was COLD, the app was well prepared and tasty and the company was certainly enjoyable. When it came time to leave, we asked to purchase our Tag-a-brew charm and Laura apologetically informed us that they had just reordered and the tags hadn't arrived yet. Disappointed but, not the first time we've run into this, we told Laura that we'd be sure to stop back through because we had such an enjoyable time and pick one up when they arrived. We shared our contact information so that she could let us know when the tags came in. Earlier this week, I received an envelope from Innovators Brewing and inside found my Tag / Charm along with a note from Laura stating "Sorry it took so long but I didn't forget you! Laura from Innovations" Well Laura, we didn't forget you either and we will certainly be back next time we're passing through!
