I was in town and had to try a burger after watching a few reviews that have come up in my feed…read more I ordered the Blue cheese burger and got it with mushrooms and the Frank's hot ranch on the side. Delicious. Like a four napkin burger haha. It isn't overly large, although a 12 ounce option is available. It's just bar grilled goodness with shredded lettuce and packed with flavor. The inside reminds me of The Bird in Mt. Pleasant. The waitress was great, refilled drinks without asking and it was busy but not packed around 3 on a weekday. Also had sweet potato fries and they were perfect darker orange but not burned. Lunch for two was $30 for 2 burgers and soda.

Instead of the same old worn out sports bar genre theme, thats too loud, where you can't hear the person next to you unless they're screaming, that most establishments have gravitated to. But, what this place could use is a menu with a little imagination, instead of the same old sandwiches you can get anywhere. The "Last Chance Saloon" in Hawkins has a better menu, and does a great job serving up some good tasting food!

I tried two cocktails which were a rum runner and (can't remember the other one) but both were very yummy. My burger was really good as well as the crab Rangoon egg rolls, those were my first time trying something like this and unfortunately, I could literally eat them all day. I won't be back anytime soon unless I'm going to the soaring eagle but I would love to go back.

While waiting for her to arrive, we enjoyed watching folks go down the river on tubes. I decided to order the Fat Noodle Soup as it sounded incredible. I'm a huge fan of ginger so anything with ginger broth is a slam dunk with me. It was a huge bowl of soup and I savored every drop. I had also ordered a side salad with grilled chicken as I thought I would need something to round out my meal. I wound up just eating the chicken and left the lettuce as I was pretty full after all the soup! Hubby ordered a burger with sweet potato fries and really enjoyed it. The wait staff was very friendly as well.

Took 20 minutes just to get water. Actual drinks took about 30 minutes. Plates arrived at least an hour after placing the orders. One of the plates was completely incorrect. Executive chef Isaac came out with several excuses and ended by blaming the server. Communication between kitchen, servers, (there were no runners or bussers) was non existent. Management was nowhere to be found. Absolutely unacceptable. Good luck selling the business.

We were celebrating a 70th birthday and had a couple other friends face-timing for a few minutes. The owner came to our table and told us we were being "rude and irresponsible". Granted, we did have a few laughs with our phone friends but her approach was totally out of line for a business owner. How about, "Hey ladies, sounds like your are having a wonderful time, but could you not do the phone call much longer? And thank you for dining here today." She most certainly is not a professional. Only one waitress (no bartender) was new at her job, and doing ok. She was sweet and tried to fill drink orders, even though not trained on the bar. A couple small mistakes but we understood her situation. First and last time at the Blue Cow.

I'd even put it up against most spots in Mount Pleasant! The menu is smaller and rotates, which I appreciate because it means everything is fresh, intentional, and made with care. You can taste the difference. I'd take a couple of amazing, from-scratch options over a long list of 'reheated' dishes any day (e.g, Antlers in Canadian Lakes has had the same boring menu for years.. ) The service is just as impressive, warm, genuine, and hard to beat. Honestly, this place deserves a line out the door.

Best Olive Burger in Big Rapids? You Bet! Today, some friends from work and I went out for lunch at…read moreSzot's Bar & Grill on North State Street in Big Rapids. I ordered their Olive Burger and asked them to toast the bun. I added cheese, lettuce, and mayo too. Let me tell you--this burger was amazing. I've eaten burgers in lots of places, even at Szot's before. But today's burger? It was the best one yet. The bun was warm and crispy, the toppings were fresh, and the olives gave it a tasty kick. I liked it so much, I stopped talking just to enjoy it. If this burger was running for mayor of Big Rapids, I'd vote for it twice!

All good, but we were most impressed with the brown--very malty with a nice hop tingle, more substantive than most brown ales I've had, though still less than 5% ABV. The server mentioned it was a new addition to their tap menu, and I hope they'll keep it. We both got a pint to go with lunch. Lunch took the form of the house salad: lettuce and typical salad fixings with bacon and chicken topping it off. Lots of bacon! Wouldn't have minded less, not that I didn't eat every bit. The chicken was tender and juicy, and all the greenery was fresh. Very nice midday meal. While I don't pass through BR very often, I'll make a point of returning here when I do.

Promises he has kitchen to cook your event in Grand Rapids and delivers it from Big Rapids. Party of 150 and the food goes cold in 20 minutes with no prep to keep it warm. Our President chose to go to the back of the line and the food was cold when he was served, They ran out of tortillas at a taco bar. His workers are great, the owner does not care. Way cheaper than the competition and you still will not get your moneys worth. Your team will be disappointed. And don't share concerns, he will cuss at ya. The customer is never right.

I've been wanting to try the new physical location for Adobo Boy soooo badly and they did NOT…read moredisappoint! I've been following Adobo Boy's food truck for years and Ace and his family are highlights in the community for uplifting and recognizing Asian voices and culture. Everything he does is with such care, love, and a focus on community and Adobo Boy is no different. The restaurant is in a little strip with ample parking which was super convenient. The interior is ADORABLE with custom art on the wall with Filipino icons, cultural touchstones, and a fun sign. The restaurant is moderately small and cozy but not cramped or tight. They even have a little market in the back corner to get some Filipino snacks and seasonings. Redd, the son and face of Adobo Boy took our orders and explained everything so well. He is so beyond kind and seems genuinely proud to work there and of the food and experience they provide. The other staff is extremely kind, attentive, and friendly and Ace even came out to ask people about their food, especially the halo halo. Getting to the food, it was INCREDIBLE. I've had Filipino food a handful of times from friends and their families but this really took the cake. We tried the Sinigang wings and there were absolutely addicting. My friend had told me that sinigang is often a soup and can be a little sour so to prepare for that. the flavor was like nothing I'd ever had and the slight hint of sour was absolutely delectable. Redd told us that this was actually an invention of his! I had also gotten Redd's Adobo Baboy which was the pork dish. I don't think I've ever had such tender pork in my life. I was so surprised at how all the flavors melded so well together and everything in the bowl complimented the other and provided necessary flavor and texture components. I also tried my first ever halo halo. My friend had told me that halo halo can be hit or miss for some people. The one at Adobo Boy had pandan and ube swirl ice cream atop shave ice and a myriad of different fruits and toppings. There is a LOT going on but everything worked together so well for me. I'm honestly so elated that Adobo Boy has a physical location so I can go back more and more to enjoy their food and company. I HIGHLY recommend coming here to feed your stomach and your heart. You can also catch them at local Asian festivals such as GRAPF.
