The waitress said she would bring the fifth as soon as it was done. It was pasta with two breadsticks. The four of us were done eating and the pasta meal was brought out 10 minutes later. We were done eating. I pointed out that one breadstick was very browned and hard. She should have never brought it like that. I ordered the coconut shrimp which was clearly from a frozen box. Butterflied with a coating of no coconut and very flattened. Not worth $23. I expected the pretty shrimp they advertise in their Facebook pictures when they have $1 shrimp days. Coated whole shrimp with coconut in the batter. Very disappointed in so many ways.

Friends ordered burgers & were just as happy with their choice. Tomorrow is Taco Tuesday, but I am heading back Saturday for the brisket mac & cheese! I have had brisket in some fancy (& not so) BBQ places - Smoque in Chicago, Hogly Wogly in CA - and can tell you Andy's brisket is The Best. Ever! Don't go to Hill Tavern for the atmosphere. Dive Bar describes it best. But clean (save for the smoke I took home in my clothes & hair) with friendly staff, you won't mind the decor once you start sampling Wolf's Kitchen's menu.

We have had a family house down the road for 90+ years and decided to give Wolverine Gardens a try…read more The hospitality and service were absolutely unmatched. We were greeted by the bartender and a few locals who were as friendly as can be. My bottle was never close to empty before I was asked for another. The best part, they sell T-shirts as a memory for one of the greatest bar experiences of all time. They have a great back room for any sized event, plus a stage for a live band. I wish we had been there for one of those situations as the grand room seemed to be full of good times. Would recommend booking in advance for private parties. Bathroom was tucked away, but had running water! 11/10 recommend, please pay respect to the generations who have passed through this Michigan delicacy

We were seeking more adventure so loaded up the van with Grampy and the kids to go visit the Wolverin Gardens. You never know how it's going to be with the locals but they were warm and welcoming. We were greeted by the Owner Bobby who was quick with his service and beyond friendly. After a few cold beers it was time to use the facilities which were located beyond the grand ballroom. We were advised to please excuse the mess as it was still partially strewn with holiday decorations and the bands equipment from recent festivities. Well worth the trip as the restrooms were vintage and well used. We had discussions and considered the ballroom for my daughter's wedding reception someday, but to my disappointment the WG does not serve food (perhaps we can cater in??) Long and short of it is a little piece of history with friendly service and clientele- a place I will be telling my friends to visit if they ever travel that way. I loved it and I'm sure I will visit again one day.

There's fun things including a pool table. Even with the name of it we still think it's a pretty cool bar. It's one of the few not fancy looking places in this part of the city. There's a few parts of it with their own atmosphere and gatherings. Basically it has a couple entrances. One is where they have the pool table. It's about $5 to get a basic cocktail. We got something with whiskey. Main bar area is in the middle. The other entrance goes to another seating area full of tables. Here is where to go if not sitting at the bar. They sometimes have events such as live music. Good bar that's better than many think it would be. It's located on Highland at Grove. They're open late including both weekdays and weekends.

I've been wanting to stop in this place in the old village of Brunswick for some time. Yelp…read morereports this as closed, but it's open and the hours on this page are accurate. I finally made it here last night. Brunswick is an old German settlement that was founded in the mid 1800's. It's about two miles west of Cedar Lake/US 41, along 133rd/135th Avenue. The tavern sits at the southeast corner of 135th and Calumet Avenue. You can tell that the building is very old, but kept in very nice condition. We arrived around 6:30 PM, came in through the back door and settled up to the old bar. The owners were watching TV at the bar, waiting to serve those who came in. The menu is very simple: a good selection of domestic bottles (Miller, Bud, Coors, etc.) and a few imports (Grolsch, Warsteiner). The owners were very nice and we talked about the history of the tavern and Brunswick. According to the owner, this has been a continually-operated tavern since 1856, when it served as a stop for stagecoach travel. The tavern was very clean and had a lot of neat, old swag including a vintage Old Style light fixture. Beers were reasonably priced. It doesn't appear they serve anything but bottled/canned beer and lemonade, but definitely worth the stop for a cold beer. I'll be back next time I'm in the area!
