Sass-squash pizza
Stacey N.

WE LOVE RAPIDS BREWERY!!! It's our first stop on our way up to my boyfriend's parent's place in Grand Rapids! Our most recent trip, we tried the Sass-squash pizza and when I tell you I have not stopped thinking about this pizza since then I am not kidding! It was a perfect balance of flavors and so unique! Service is always amazing (they gave me a free beer for missing my fry order on first try) and I was so grateful. Additionally, we happened to stumble upon the community band performance night when we were there and it was a packed house and great to meet some of the band members and their family! Make the stop! Their food is incredible, beer is great and they always have something fun going on for entertainment.

Walking in this place felt like a community gathering place, the atmosphere was warm and the staff was kind. The menu is extensive with so many delicious options, however we felt like things just missed the mark a bit, for example; the caprese pizza was very oily, and the chicken sandwich was too dry. Small things that overall would not deter us from going back.

Came here for the pizza and I'm a NY pizza snob. This isn't NY style but it is extremely good. The servers at the bar were very polite and helpful. Great place to listen to a band outside. I didn't stay inside but looks like a cool place to eat and hang out. I'm not a big fan of breweries because people seam like snobs but this place has everything going for itself. I highly recommend this place. Wish you were in the Twin Cities. This place is a gem.

Love this brewery! We have a cabin about 30 minutes away and we definitely will be coming back! The beer was great and the pizza was to die for! We ordered the Italian Stallion and ate it ALL. Service was great and the staff was super friendly. Great place to go to with friends or family.

Thai noodles with mushrooms

Excellent food - Smash burger was juicy and delicious; Fire roasted carrots with a fantastic sauce; Thai noodles with mushrooms were tasty and spicy; Pig Wings were tender and so tasty with a sweet Gochujang sauce! Very good cocktail with bourbon, berry syrup, lemon, mint and club soda. Service good and helpful. Sat outdoors and enjoyed the entertainment--a vocalist and guitarist.

Stopped in for a quick nightcap before heading back to Sugar Lake Lodge. I really liked the vibe of the place. The picnic area, although too chilly to enjoy on our visit, looked like a great place to soak up some summer sun. They had the fire pit going when we arrived which ended up being a smoke break location for bar patrons. I chose the imperial stout. Woo, was that potent. Their Pilsner wasn't pouring the way they wanted so they suggested another option. Husband had the cream ale. The entertainment for the night was music bingo. They play random snippets of music and you try to full your card. We were too late to play but the other patrons looked like they were having a great time. Also looked like there was a private party room in the back. Nice visit.

Great spot with tons of character, food and craft beer- not to mention a assortment of rare whiskeys. A must stop in the Grand Rapids area

Not great food in a loud environment and long waits for items to come out. They do live music at…read moretimes but without that there are not many reasons that outweigh eating at home. We ordered a couple pizzas which took a good bit of time to come out and little taste in the crust (plus they were thin and heavily cooked so it was more of a cracker). The drink options are not listen anywhere so they just have your standard options. Venue was very loud and even though we were inside, our table was bothered by several flies. Plus the "plates" we got were tiny styrofoam and only worked okay because the pizza slices were so small. On the bright side however, the prices were not that high at least averaging around $10-12 per person and soda at $3

A group of us from our cabin crew regularly visit this local hotspot in the summer. It's right off…read moreCrosslake and the Whitefish chain. They've got a small harbor to dock your boat and walk right up to the restaurant if you come by sea. Otherwise, it's easy to access from the local highways around. The atmosphere during the summer months is always buzzing and happy. Plenty of people coming to relax from a long drive north or from a warm day on the lake. It's a great spot for local musicians that play to entertain the seasonal visitors and the regulars from town alike. Tonight was a typical busy summer night. The outdoor seating is first come, first served, so we waited around to grab a table in the sunshine. Our waitress was great and, as busy as she was, was really attentive to us. We never spent too much time without something to drink. She also took our order quickly and the food came out in a really reasonable time for it being packed. The food was delicious! We had a variety of dishes at our table, from a stir fry to pizza to a gluten free "wrap" platter. I had a Bilski Burger covered with cheese, bacon, and "Gold sauce". A side of tots to complement it. The burger was cooked wonderfully and tasted fantastic. Everyone had great food and we all pretty much finished it all up. I'll continue to come back to Moonlite Bay. It's a great place and I've not been disappointed yet (over 7 years coming up here). If you're in the area, stop in and enjoy the atmosphere and food!
