The bartender was friendly and prompt. The ambiance was open and clean. Most of the audio was sport, which is not appealing to me. The beer was mostly alright, but nothing that I'll have to return for. The girls really liked their cider. We didn't try the food, but the menu looked just like every other brewery. read more

Great small town brewery! Good food, good deals and great atmosphere any day of the week!

We stumbled upon OpenRoad but will definitely be back! Walkable from local parks and the library, and extremely kid-friendly! We were warmly greeted by friendly and knowledgeable staff, then enjoyed a wonderful meal and delicious beers on the patio. Prices were reasonable and menu was unique, yet approachable for any palate (including our 2 and 4 year olds). Loved the hazy IPA and mozzarella wedges! read more

Just a little off 131 in Wayland, Michigan is this little brewery. We stopped on our way down to Kalamazoo from flying in to GR. The staff was very friendly (not surprising for Michigan) and the small space was filled with locals and families. We talked with the Beertender about being from Florida and just visiting home for a long weekend and when he found out we traveled often and always went to breweries, he quickly offered up some stickers for us to place at different breweries for them. I love that kind of stuff. We tried OpenRoad Brewery Scizor, Citradisiac Pale Ale, Easy Street Stout, Eldorado, Girl in a T-Shirt, Up the Country, and Whiterazz. read more

I CANNOT believe it has taken us 8 months to finally check out Open Road, we live just down the road and kept talking about going there. Finally we went. The bar was a bit full, a couple tables were filled. We ordered our beers at the bar and take out food. We tried the Blueberry Lemonade Mead, highly recommended! So tasty. We will be coming back again and again for the mead. Come on in, find a seat and a wonderful staff member will take your order. read more

Cute little pub in Wayland. Food was good and the service was excellent. Would come back again

Pretty basic deep fried food bar in a small town. Nothing spectacular. Need more menu options and more drink options.

Great food and great beer! You can't ask for more!! Picked it on a whim and it was better than expected. read more

Gotta love this joint! I must, I am mug 269! Seriously though, this is a great place to wet your whistle and chat up your fellow Waylanders. Not a local? Not a problem. The talk is always good and the beer outstanding. They also have an impressive selection of coders and mead. Well rounded! The point is lost for food offerings. They are still trying to figure it out, but what's there isn't so bad. They also need to be better staffed. Their workers are breaking their butts. read more

OpenRoad Brewery - Breweries Near Me - Wayland, Michigan

Me and my cousins all came from out of town to Michigan for a wedding and our hotel told us this spot was amazing for their craft beers. We went in and the server gave us all a hard time on our ids because one of them were vertical. I am 23 years old, my sister 22, my brother 26, and my cousin 34 and the server refused to sell alcohol to any of us because our ids "were all different" we are from different states and we were just trying to have a good time here. They were not welcoming at all. read more

Wow what a great place to drink really good craft beer and hang out in an atmosphere that is very friendly and comfortable. Love the story and history of the building. Gotta check this place out! read more

Stumbled upon this location from a groupon (which was well worth it). We tried the delicious charcuterie board, flight of beers, and beer cheese dip. The food was all fine but what really stood out was the great service! read more

Went here for the first time last night with my husband and a couple good friends. They had live music and friendly staff. The beer was also awesome. I can be pretty picky and I liked almost everything they offered. My friend made it a mission to try every beer on the list and was very pleasantly surprised. The prices were also reasonable. read more

Beers are always great with nice variety of interesting brews. Have been there many times, stopped today for a quick beer and a howler. Almost an hour later had 1 beer and no howler, got a couple cans instead. Server was working hard but was all alone, not her fault.. Not good business and not safe either for her to be working by herself cooking, serving and managing customers. read more

Honestly, I didn't I expected much when first hearing about it. When I got there; it looked like it was built out of an old 1960s cafe/old ice-cream parlor. We got 2 appetizers and 4 flights of beer. It took a VERY long time to get the flights and the food was really disappointing in quality & quantity. Nothing more than boxed crackers/bagged pretzels and cups of cheese for the price of regular restaurant food. What really stood out was the beer. The beers sound ordinary, but were excellently crafted. They only have standard brews and don't do anything too adventurous in the terms of flavored beers. But if I want a well crafted porter, I think Openroad's would be my go to. Definitely give it a try if you want a good beer, but avoid the food. read more

Great beer, great service. Just had an appetizer , spicy beer cheese did is very tasty. I'm not an IPA fan but their IPA's are the best I've ever had. read more

OpenRoad Brewery - Breweries Near Me - Wayland, Michigan

For a small town brewery they have great beers. Wished I lived closer and could visit more often. Great atmosphere. Friendly patrons and staff. On street parking as well as parking behind the building. I'd recommend parking behind the building since there is more room. Not a huge food selection but everything is good, certain days have specials, loved the pretzels and siracha cheese dip. read more

Very cool that Wayland has a brewery. I'm not sure I have been there previously (to Wayland), but it was a cute little downtown area. The building itself is pretty cool. Nice older wooden features, cool bar. They had 7-8 taps going. Lots of options that everyone would be able to find something to their liking. We shared a sampler, a few ipas, a blond, a pumpkin beer for the season. My favorite was the Citradisiac and I wasn't alone - everyone ordered a pint of this and it was the clear winner of the bunch. The staff was nice and very helpful. Stop in if you are in the neighborhood looks like they are just getting started. read more

Sorry I cannot review! I had a Groupon to use and we came on a Saturday afternoon but they were closed! We had lunch at the stack restaurant down the block. Now it is expired read more

First time coming in today and loved it. First and foremost, great and friendly service. All the beer we tried in our two flights was delicious, which is always impressive. The beer cheese dip was recommended to us by ten Bartendar, and a great choice. They also offer a free coffee beverage to DD's, which we loved! Definitely worth the trip from GR to come visit. Will be back :) read more

Great brewery! Really robust flavors in their brews and reasonably priced. Good menu includes small selection of dips for appetizers and some sandwiches. Would like to see better variety on the menu but great place overall! Games available to play. read more

OpenRoad Brewery - Flight of six beers - Breweries Near Me - Wayland, Michigan

This is a great little off the beaten track micro brew, we were drawn here by a groupon and I have to say it was money well spent, even without the coupon I will consider coming back Why you say? Could it be the smoked salmon appetizer? Could it be the Charcuterie? Or the glass of " the traveler? A delicious Belgian triplel ,that went down ever so smooth, (all hail the Belgians), and a hint of floral flavor, yum, maybe it is all of it? ,don't know just know it's all good here at the open road If in doubt "Hit the Open Road ", you won't be sorry you did Now what's next? read more

I went here with my wife and had two beers. I had the brown ale and porter. Both were fantastic and very reasonably priced. We did not get any food this time, but will give that a try next time around. I would highly recommend you check this brewery out if you like a good craft brew. read more

We went looking for a brewery and came across this one. Well first off even though there were only 4 people in the brewery it took them 5 minutes to get the drink menu etc to us. And when we received the over priced chicken quesadilla and asked for a plate (since they didn't provide any) the bartender brought out ONE PLASTIC plate and one fork and knife (we'd asked for two). She said that's all they had.... how sad! read more

Great beer and nice people working there. Would've stayed longer but really wanted pizza and their menu is sandwiches and hot dogs. 4 stars for limited menu. read more

I make it a point to go to breweries when I am near them and since I am visiting Michigan and my mom, I looked up some near the outlets on Untapped and found this place. Very happy I did. While the Blue Cheese Sriracha dog was good, it was the beers I really enjoyed. I had to get a flight, of course. They came in one of the best flight carriers I have ever seen! It was a VW bug just like their logo and when the bartender informed me of the beers, she described it as "driver's side, back seat" and whatnot. So cute!!! All the beers, even the IPAs I don't usually like, were good! If I could take a growler of the brown on the plane with me, I would have! read more

This was our first time coming to open road. What a cute little cozy atmosphere. We had a couple flights of their craft beer & it was very enjoyable. Unfortunately we had a server who was on her first night, we waited forever!! It would have been nice if she was able to work under someone for her first night to guide her... Had a couple of appetizers & the kids had a cheese quesadilla. We ordered The ORB charcuterie which was fine, nothing real exciting... also had the Spicy beer cheese dip... it was unexpectedly COLD... but was tasty... would have been great to have napkins & some small plates for our appetizers... would come back if we were in the area as the beer was great & would hope they had some servers with a little more experience... read more

My wife and I were in Sunday afternoon, for our first time. We tried some of the beers, they were pretty good, but the food we tried was way over priced, especially per the menu pictured on this site. The biggest problem we observed was, I think it was the boss, came in and meet with the staff, right in front of the public, and was were short with them. I have been in management for years in retail and also a bar, and you NEVER, have a staff meeting right out in the public view. The patrons never need to see this kinda thing, it will run your customers off quick. I don't think we will be back, even though the beer is good. read more

Was great to see wayland open a brewery. First trip in people were nice and friendly. Refilled my growler and was impressed with Pilsner might have been $17. Second trip in the price went up. Was charged $20 dollars for a refill. I asked if the price was right and was told that is the going rate for Refill. Not where I go. Second beer was campfire cream ale. Wasn't impressed and especially for $20. Hope them well. read more

Very friendly staff . Simple place to go with friends. Limited menu with great prices

The owner called his bartender and told him to kick us out because we were there 5 minutes after they closed. Some of us were still finishing our drinks. The bartender was polite but the owner seems like a jerk. Hopefully, the place moving in next door will treat their customers better. read more
