Here is the 2 star part...I got so sick a few hours later. Sick enough to vow to never subject myself to this establishment again. This was definitely a result of the food by the type of sickness.

Very well staffed and once a table was free they were busting it and setting up the next group. (Has been told a 30-45 min wait so it was on the lower end of the time given- which you can appreciate that). All that to say this place has TVs for Any and all watch parties for sporting events but also a quieter side if you're focused on company and dinner. Our server was in tune to our needs and stopped by enough even with how busy. And the food is amazing! It's why people stop in for great flavor and big portions at a decent value. We started with the cheesy bread sticks because it's just one of the best shareable appetizers that even our kids love: ranch or marinara dipped you can go wrong! My wifes shrimp fettuccini pasta was so delicious , the in house sauce was so rich and creamy. My chicken parmigiana was also tasty with a mix of flavors that came together. Our kids meals were also decent size. We left we leftovers for another meal. Highly recommend and there's so much to explore on the great menu too.

She had our drinks out promptly, took our order efficiently, and asked all the right questions to make our dinner just what we wanted. I appreciated her suggestion to cut into the steak on my steak salad as soon as she delivered it to ensure it was cooked to my preference (which it was). Refills came when needed, and she was personable throughout our visit. In an industry where it is so hard to find good service workers, Monelli's has a gem in Samantha T!

Although this place has a horrible reputation, we decided to give it a shot. ...... oops! lol It's a much younger atmosphere on a Friday evening then we would like, however, since we walked down there, we decided to grab a drink anyways. The service is horrendous. The drinks were horrible. And the atmosphere was that of a high school cafeteria. Almost literally. We noticed one of our friends, daughters and her friend who are here drinking at a table with several other peers. Problem is these girls are only 19 years old. We immediately spoke with these girls and contacted their parents and also let the Bar know. The Bar tenders did not care and I guess the owner whoever he or she is fully knows and is very supportive of this based off with the bartender and some regulars were alluding to. We have contacted the local police department and the MLCC . Apparently, when filing report with the police department, this place has been under a microscope for quite some time. I would not be surprised if it is closed down within the next year or two.

He used to live in this neighborhood so he was familiar with the menu and mentioned the inside has changed quite a bit since he frequented this spot. We ordered a burger on sourdough with tots and the BBQ chicken flatbread. This was great bar food! I loved the burger - it was juicy and the tots were fried and seasoned to perfection. It was a great portion too, so we were able to share (makes me think of Napoleon Dynamite - no stealing tots necessary). I love that you can order your burger on sourdough instead of a bun - it was perfectly toasted. It did get a bit messy and fell apart a little towards the end, but we had plenty of napkins. The flatbread was super tasty. I don't usually go for a BBQ chicken pizza but I saw someone else ordered it and it looked delicious. I'm so glad I copied them, because it was sweet, savory, and covered in chicken and cheese. The included side of ranch just rounded it out. Yum! Our server was quick with refills and around for us to order more drinks when needed. The outdoor space is pretty spacious and covered. Definitely will stop by again soon!

We had beers while we waited for our table and the bartenders were great. Quick service and they were friendly. We were seated at a booth after 30ish minutes. Shaun was our server and he took such good care of us! Our refills were quick, he was so nice and our food was as exactly as we ordered. We had a deluxe pizza on hand tossed crust. I tell ya what - that crust is GOOD. The bottom was crispy and the end was soft and chewy. Decent amount of toppings too! We also had a Caesar wrap with crispy chicken. They add diced tomatoes here - and I like that! Shaun did ask if I was ok with tomatoes, he must have had people complain in the past to know to ask. We went with chips as a side, I knew I wasn't going to eat enough of the side to spend the extra $$ on an upgrade to fries. Z's is a downtown staple, especially late night. It's been a LONG time since we've been out in GR late night, but it was good to know the food is really good when sober too Of course we'll be back!

I ordered chicken wings and a thin-crust pizza. Honestly, both were mediocre at best, and I had a bad feeling from the start. The wings were too soft and mushy, which should have been a warning sign, but I went ahead anyway since there weren't a lot of other options around. Big mistake. To make matters worse, I ended up with full-blown food poisoning the next day--I've been throwing up all day, and it's clear it came from that meal. And the service was just as frustrating. The bartender told me it was happy hour but never gave me a happy hour menu. When the bill came, everything was full price. So what's the point of mentioning happy hour if you're not actually going to honor it? On top of that, the bartender said she was done with her shift but then lingered around for another hour or so until I left. She just wanted me to pay up quick for some reason. Just a ridiculous experience all around. Trust me, steer clear of Z's Bar if you value your health and your wallet. Awful.

The fresh basil was a nice touch as well! But this pizza rolls! Don't confuse them with Totino's, it's not the same! This was a pizza crust without sauce - but had cheese and pepperoni, rolled up like a pinwheel, then sliced and baked! When they come out of the oven they are brushed with garlic butter and served with warmed marina sauce, SO GOOD! It wasn't too busy and there was a fun, happy vibe.
