The meat dinners are good portion sizes and worth the money…read more 4/5 Meats: smoked sausage & pulled chicken were our favorite. I also had the ribs and they were tender and juicy but not much flavor without adding sauce. 3/5 Sides: due to not having a ton of flavor, the slaw and Yams were the best, the Greens weren't anything special, needed more seasoning and the mac was bland. Not super impressed with the cornbread either, very cakey. 5/5 Sauces: personally, loved them all. 10/10 service: Veronica was our server and she was fantastic. Restaurant was out of wings, but she was extremely communicative and friendly, offered other suggestions, so kind and knowledgeable about sauces and the whole menu. She was great! The location itself needs a bit of love, no sign outside - just a white board. It looks like they're still remodeling - but it was clean (bonus!), good music was playing, and the decor on the walls was a nice touch. Service really saved this review from being 3/5 and took this up to a 5 star review.

Family celebrating Birthday dinner at Aster. Conveniently located downtown Midland, MI…read more Made reservation for four and we were seated immediately by the host upon arrival. Clean tables, cloth napkins, nice silverware, subtle lighting, intimate atmosphere. Friendly waiter service consistently checking on our table regularly filling waters and clearing plates replacing with new clean plates and silverware between courses. The staff and kitchen did a superb job of spacing out the courses so the drinks and appetizers came out with good timing. Finished appetizers, plates cleared from first course; the entrees arrived promptly. From my observation the staff works well together to provide a very nice dining experience for their customers from start to finish. Ordered starters: small portion appetizers. Asparagus. diced asparagus with diced morel mushroom morsels. Very good. Shrimp Toast. Harder to share as an appetizer, one piece of toast with shrimp pate. I did not try, group seemed to enjoy. Entrees: Burger Filling burger when you order "make it a double", the double is actually three beef patties. Comes with waffle cut fries. Yummy cheddar cheese sauce. I liked the brioche bun because it is soft enough to hold the burger and absorb the cheese sauce without being too messy. Smoked Whitefish Hushpuppies. Basically scrambled egg lighly battered and fried. No flavor or hint of smoked Whitefish fish. "Cocktail sauce" was just ketchup I suspect. Light and fluffy, not dense like traditional hushpuppies. One order comes with five hushpuppies for 10 dollars, the "Smoked Whitefish Hushpuppies" starter is not worth two dollars per piece. Pajun (Korean savory pancake). I really liked this dish last time I dined at Aster. This time the Pajun was burnt on the top and undercooked on the bottom. Love the soy dipping sauce. I will ask for more soy dipping sauce next time. The clever combinations of ingredients -considering local sourcing and seasonal items is- admirable. Plenty of variety for any taste. Drinks ordered: Birthday "Beer and shot": Bartender selected glass of beer, and bartender selected shot glass of hard liquor. Offer "Temperance Pilsner" (non-alcoholic). The unfortunate quality of the burnt Pajun, Hushpuppies with no flavor, but the service is excellent so I will give 5 star. I will be back to Aster to enjoy the next seasonal menu items they offer.

We visited Bomber's Bar and Grill yesterday, eager to enjoy a new dining experience, but…read moreunfortunately, our time there was quite disappointing. Upon entering, we noticed the bar was busy, and we took the only two available seats at the bar, which happened to be next to two regulars who were deeply engrossed in conversation. As I settled into my seat, I couldn't shake off the uncomfortable feeling that came from the intense stare-down I received from the regulars, as if I had intruded on their territory. In an attempt to ease the tension, I switched seats with my husband, but the discomfort lingered. For about ten minutes, we sat there while relatives and regulars came and went, but we received no acknowledgment from the staff. The bartender took two phone orders before serving a table that came in after us, leaving us without menus or drinks. At that point, we decided to leave in frustration. The ambiance of the bar was dark and small stuck between two other larger businesses, with dim lighting that made it difficult to see until my transition lenses adjusted. Additionally, there was a pole right outside the door that posed a hazard for anyone exiting. Overall, we were excited to try Bomber's Bar and Grill, but the lack of service and uncomfortable environment left us feeling let down.

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.

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!
