Church breweries really should have their own united website for all of them in the state...its really fun to check these types of breweries out. Beautiful building that was brought back to life with a breweries and eatery. The food is creative and yummy and the cocktails, beers and beverages really bring a little something for everyone. So glad that this building is being used for a new venture in and it brings so much character to life. read more

I went here with a friend for Sunday brunch. It was a beautiful day, so we sat on the patio. However, the inside of the restaurant is a converted church, and there are beautiful stained glass windows inside. I loved the way they converted the building into a restaurant. I ordered the apple cinnamon pancakes with scrambled eggs and bacon. Everything was delicious, especially the pancakes. I really look forward to going back and having dinner there and sampling some of their homemade beer. Highly recommend. read more

We made a reservation for a Saturday night and were seated right away by a very friendly host. He was pretty funny and made us laugh. This place is so cool. It was previously a church and is beautiful inside. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We sat inside this day. Our server Lauren was amazing and took great care of us. She had some great menu suggestions. I had the Korean bbq short rib. Wow! My husband chose the smokehouse platter. The appetizer was calamari and we devoured it. My son had the cookie skillet for dessert and we split the cheesecake. Everything was delicious and we can't wait to return! read more

Amazing brew pub experience. The building a 1900 church is epic. Great beer and happy hour. An amazing brew pub experience when the owner/ brewmaster chat it up and have a craft with you. read more

This place is amazing. The atmosphere, the food, the beer. This my first time to saline and I can say it's started off with a knockout. Walking in you get a beautiful restaurant with an antler chandelier and mural on the ceiling. The service was fast attentive and very welcoming. John made sure I was never waiting for a beer and chatted up with me and a local while still maintaining good service to rest of the patrons. I ended up ordering the 117 burger which hit the spot perfectly cooked for a smash burger. The truffle fries were on point as well. If you come to the area check this place out. read more

I do enjoy this place. It is located in a repurposed church, and the designer/architect/owner did a very good job at combining "the old with the new." Our server was quite efficient and pleasant. A bonus was that the manager/owner (?) came over to check on us and have a brief discussion. I had the fish and chips for lunch. I found it to be filling and tasty. My wife had a salad - no matter the weather, she enjoys a good salad and combo. I should note here that the restaurant is very accommodating to those who are GF and those who have a few other types of food allergies. As a GF, she really appreciates this. For more information on this topic, I encourage you to check out this blog: https://miglutenfreegal.com/blog/ I do recommend that you give this restaurant a try. I know that we will be back. read more

Came here for my sister's birthday dinner. I had been once before, but it was so long ago I don't remember the first time. This time however was great. Our server was super attentive and helpful. Made sure things were noted for my gluten intolerance. My mom's birthday had been just a few days before so she made sure they each got a birthday dessert. Everyone in our party of 5 loved the food, from drinks, to apps, to main courses. The wings were especially delicious. read more

This is a beautiful use for a historic church. I love the stained glass windows. It is a popular spot for craft beer but me and my friend dislike beer. We had the Shirley temples tonight as I had to work. We tries the sauerbraten and loved it. It compares to Metzgers in Ann Arbor which is a very high compliment. We had the always delicious Brussel sprout appetizer. Our servers knocked it out of the park tonight and there was a trainee helping also. I really appreciated a water jug at the table upon seating that is so convenient. I also was impressed how they asked about allergies before ordering that was very impressive. It was a great time good food, good friend and a wonderful evening. read more

With graduation fast approaching, I had to look for outside for dinner reservations since I was a bit late to the game. This was one of the recommendations in the college FB group. It is in a former church with all the lovely stain glass windows. There is street parking available (not sure if there is a parking lot). We all ordered different dishes and they were all very good! Good portion sizes. My sister who has seafood allergies asked about the kimchi which comes with the Korean Short Rib entree. Our server was knowledgeable about the ingredients in their kimchi (which is vegan) so she happily ate it. My daughter who is a Mac n' cheese connoisseur was impressed with their version! Prices are reasonable. If you want to bring a cake, there is cake service fee. There is credit card surcharge. Service is friendly and efficient. Will be back! read more

Edited review 10/27: Downgrading to three stars due to rude and unfriendly hostess. Let me begin with the positives: Tori is an outstanding server. She made several suggestions regarding beer and menu selections, checked on us regularly to see if we needed anything else, and brought the bill promptly. As a former restaurant and nightclub manager I would not only hire her as a server but I would hire her to train other servers as well, as her timing, demeanor, and professionalism are spot on. The pork sandwich and the Reuben were both very good. The fries were somewhat overcooked but still tasty. Back to the hostess: We arrived before 11:30. When the hostess open the doors she did not greet or welcome anybody. When she came back in I said "Good morning how are you?" She looked down and mumbled "okay." Once again she did not greet or welcome us. All tables were available and we told her politely which table we would like to sit at. She said sarcastically, "I'll seat you!" While she did take us to our preferred table, she threw the menus down on the table, did not tell us to have a good lunch or say something else in the way of welcome or greeting. She just threw the menus down and walked away. Sometime later she was sitting bent over at the hostess stand, scrolling on her phone, and her shirt halfway up her back. This was one of several times she was seen scrolling on her phone during the lunch rush. When she brought our receipt to the table she didn't ask how we enjoyed our meal or thank us for coming. She just mumbled here's the receipt, dropped it on the table, and walked away. In all my years as a maitre d, and dining room manager, I have never encountered a host more rude and unprofessional than this young lady; nor anybody less suited to this position. Given the restaurant's very good food, and outstanding wait staff, I do hope that they will considering hiring a host who is friendly, welcoming, and professional. Remember that the host is the first person that people see when they walk in in the last person when they walk out and their conduct and demeanor makes a lasting impression on customers. While changing the review from from 5 to 3 stars may seem extreme given that the food and service were good--the reduction is called for here because we nearly walked out before we were seated due to the rude and unfriendly welcome. read more

"Salt" is one of my favorite places to dine and hang out. The food it top notch (great appetizers) and the beer is excellent. It's pricey, but worth it. The only downside is that people love them so much it can be hard to find a seat at times! read more

This upscale brewery is very nice, modern, chic and with a touch of God literally is really nice. Architecture in this restaurant/brewery is really nice. The service was very good and the waitress in which unfortunately don't recall her name was very sweet and kind. Also made some great suggestions as far as what to try out. She was always coming to check on us three to see if we wanted or needed anything else which I really appreciate it. However even the I asked for medium well for the beef tenderloins they were a medium rare which was very hard for me to eat. The gravy that was on top was very delicious. I did try to eat it. I am thinking maybe the waitress didn't hear me all the way that is why it was done that way. I didn't ask for her to take it back, especially since my husband likes medium rare some times. So he ate the rest of my lunch when I got home later. I definitely want to come back to try other dishes out. Thank you for such great service. read more

I've been coming here for a few years now but recently just went on Saturday and enjoyed it about as much if not more than usual! This place has practically attended college with me! I got the Shrimp Linguine (again) and it was great- perfect amount of flavor and portion size! Would 10/10 recommend it here- the atmosphere, service (all the waiters are seasoned and friendly), and food! Another member of my party always gets the Chicken Shawarma and loves it too. I am looking forward to going back and waiting for the day I become a 'regular'! read more

Salt Springs Brewery is a Saline staple. We hadn't been in quite some time before our last visit this weekend. This time we found Salt Springs to be decidedly bland. Service was great. We were able to be seated outside in great weather, and our server was prompt and friendly. The menu really didn't appeal to us, and my husband and I reluctantly found our choices for lunch that day. My food was fine, but it's hard to mess up breakfast potatoes, over easy eggs, and Canadian bacon. Prices were kind of ridiculous for what we got. For kiddo we got Mac and cheese, but the fresh veggies on the side were sad and looked dried out, like they had been cut yesterday and left in the fridge overnight before being thrown in a plate for today. One of the toilets was broken out of the two women's restrooms, and an employee seemed unconcerned when I let them know. Maybe with a menu change we could be enticed back, but for now we will find other places in Saline to check out. read more

Ambiance/setting: 10/10 - really incredible building and makes the entire trip worth while. Old church building, sweet architecture, beautiful stained glass, cathedral ceilings. Just check it out, drinking a beer in that place is sweet. Beer: 8/10 - I mean it's a brewery. Compared to most restaurants this beer will knock their beer on tap out of the water. As a beer lover I won't say that it's the best beer I've ever had but it's rock solid. Their Kölsch was pretty damn good. Food: 8/10 - I'm not super qualified to speak on this, I didn't eat here but I tried my fiancées beet salad and it was stellar. She got the marinated tempeh and it slapped hard. Hard to compare it to fine dining options in A2 but compared to other breweries I actually thought the food was really good and all the food I saw was high quality. Only knock id say is it's pretty pricey for what you're getting. Service: 7/10 - nothing bad nothing special read more

Delicious! Came on a Saturday- so it was a bit busy. But so worth it! The hidden gems? The mimosas on brunch special. The mi-most-a.. amazing, but strong. The crown jewel? The cheese bread. So good! A must order! Also don't sleep on the brunch items! But my fav? The smoked wings with house made buttermilk ranch!! Staff and owner were wonderful! read more

First, our server, Matt...so knowledgeable and friendly! Service was fast, and food and microbrews were simply outstanding. Superior chef marries unique combinations and locally sourced ingredients to create umami flavors, cooked perfectly. I had the chicken sandwich. I usually leave some bun, but ate every bite because the strawberry rhubarb compote was delicious! My husband had the Reuben. He is a bit of a Reuben aficionado and loved it. We also recommend the pretzels-superior beer cheese-two ways! And the truffle fries. Just yum!! Oh, and the beer. I have had many, many different IPAs. Theirs are a notch above. Great flavor, and perfectly hoppy. read more

We visit pretty much weekly. Whether we are grabbing food or just drinks the experience has always been good. The staff is friendly and prompt. They are super patient with our 10 month old who often makes a mess with more food on the floor than in her mouth (sorry)! 1. Beer is good- we would like to see more hazy ipa options but overall we can always find something we like. A lot of them are small pours and we do prefer at least pint servings. 2. Pizza is solid- we prefer to get it well done but that's personal preference 3. Chicken wings, Brussels, hummus, and nachos are all great small plate options 4. Happy hour is tough to get to- it's a great deal on beer but for those of us that work 9-5s we aren't able to make it often. 5. We do find their entrees a little on the pricey side at least compared to others around. Overall Salt Springs is our #1 go to in Saline. The environment is very cool with the history of the building and it's always a fun time. Great for dinner with a small family or even larger groups. read more

Not wanting to drive too far, I discovered this bar & grill on Yelp. It was not too far a drive from hotel in Ann Arbor. There were two bartenders working tonight, a male and a female. The male bartender took care of me tonight. More of the importance of that later. I chose the beer flight as it was the best of two worlds. I could drink four different beers and only consume 16 ounces. The bartender would have let me do five different flights but I did not want to consume that much alcohol. I asked him to choose and selected following: Cashmere Zeppelin * American ale * IPA * 7.7% The Old Miner * English ale * E.S.B. * 6.2% Delicate Cinnamon Sour * American ale * sour * 6.2% Black Magic * German lager * Schwarzbier * 5.3% I enjoyed all but the last. After the first couple sips, I decided I had enough and requested the check. My appetite was mostly satiated from the morning, so I was not in the mood for a large meal for dinner. I ended up ordering the Pretzel Bites. Of the three mustard varieties, I definitely enjoyed the stone ground and highly disliked their beer cheese. Fortunately, the male bartender served me tonight. The couple sitting to my left was served by the female bartender. As another reviewer mentioned, she gave them the investment pitch. I was lucky not to be given the spiel by my bartender. If I had been one of the recipients of the pitch, my rating would have reflected my dismay. read more

ABSOLUTELY a must for your next dinner date or group outing. Went here on a weekday evening around 530-6ish. TIP: get a reservation. This place is amazing but smaller than it looks. Great drinks & Mocktails; even better food! Gluten free options galore. I can't believe I got to safely eat fish & chips again!!!! Parking is behind the building and street (downtown Saline). Outside patio for the spring/summer/fall months. JUST GO! read more

Great food and always good service. I love the beer selections and sitting outside. It's easily good for brunch on the weekend.

Cool brewery in what used to be a church. Unique atmosphere with the cathedral ceiling, stained glass, and hoppy twist on the creation of Adam on the ceiling. A good sized assortment of craft beer they brew themselves, as well as cocktails, mocktails, and wine featuring Michigan suppliers. They also do beer flights! For food, they have different menus for brunch and dinner, with rotating seasonal dishes. They often source from local farms, and will list them on the menu, which is cool! I would describe their menu as elevated bar food with a global twist. They definitely have options to make everyone happy. Don't miss their house-smoked chicken (my fave is the Korean BBQ). Unique burgers with flavors like blueberry & meyor lemon jam, brie, etc. Perfectly textured truffle fries! It tends to be pretty busy and service can sometimes be a little slow due to this so plan accordingly! May not be the best option for a quick bite. In the summer they have an outdoor patio. Parking close by is pretty easy - there's a free lot off Henry right across the street with plenty of spaces. read more

As a fairly regular guest, how have I not yet reviewed Salt?! Well, now's the time... Salt is a local brewery and restaurant, beautifully housed in an old church. We usually sit at the bar, but have also sat outside in their large patio on multiple occasions as well as their main dining area. Service is consistently just OK. Even though I am not a big beer drinker, I do really enjoy the beers at Salt and always trying the newest offerings on their rotating taps. The food is great, although their menu has recently changed so I haven't tried many of their new items. Past favorites included the nachos and chicken sandwich. read more

I flew into Ann Arbor for the weekend and my son took me to his new favorite restaurant. I was amazed at the beautiful decor. The large stained glass windows. The ambiance of the spacious restaurant made for a grand adventure. We ate outside on our first trip. I had the eggs Benny and I must say the eggs were done just perfect. They had a delightful sauce on top. The country fries were delicious. I liked my food so much we had to go back for lunch. This time I had one of my favorites, the Reuben grilled sandwich. The flavors were delicious. With piled high corned beef and house made fillings. The fries were done nice and crispy with just the right amount of spice. We even went back that night for dinner. I had the saurbraten. Something you rarely see on a menu. It was absolutely delicious. I had a dark beer with my dinner and it really made for a great meal. I'm definitely going back again. Probably will try the Reuben pizza next time. read more

Ambiance 5 stars Service 5 stars Food 5 stars Restroom 5 stars We were on our way up to Ann Arbor and happened to yelp restaurants in Saline and this one caught our eye, and boy are we glad we did. Host was very friendly and gave us the history behind the old century former church. Our waiter was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu. We both had the fish and chips and we tried the Cashmere Zeppelin, which was nice! The restaurant is beautiful and the ceiling is an eye catcher. The restrooms were clean and well equipped with everything you need. We will definitely be back to try their burgers. Highly recommend. And if you have an electric car, they gave a charging station in the parking lot. read more

As a vegetarian and vegan family we appreciate the plant based food options on their menu. Everything we have ordered has tasted DELICIOUS. The Tofu sandwich is prepared so well, even omnivores will enjoy it. We've also enjoyed the pizza and some salads. read more

Great ambience, indoor and outdoor seating options. The original stained glass is beautiful and the indoor seating feels intimate yet communal. Food was good, pretty expensive for the portion. We had halibut special with mash and beef tips entrees. I really enjoyed the halibut and found it worth the price but the steak tips did not have the greatest presentation and it was a small portion. My boyfriend said enjoyed them though. The highlight of ordering was the best black and tan. The lavender lemonade was also good but a bit excessive in price being the same cost as a beer. read more

Stopped in after reading and article in Midwest Magazine about churches that have been turned into breweries or restaurants. A good use for old churches in my opinion. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was very good overall. The whipped cream for the pancakes was perfect. My wife said the portions were just right for a Sunday brunch and would ask for crispy bacon next time. My tofu scramble was a nice change with the kimchi and potatoes mixed together. The biscuit was my only small issue being small for the serving size. Either needed 2 small ones or one that was larger then served. I ran out of biscuit before the jam. Otherwise I'm sure we will be back. read more

Salt springs is my go to place when I have visitors from out of town. They have a large menu, with enough variety that everyone can get something they will like. Lots of vegetarian options for myself! This time we tried the squash pizza- summer squash, Fuji apple slices, caramelized onions, with a fried egg on top. Ive never had anything like it before, a 10/10!! The inside of the brewery is adorable-used to be an old church so the stain glass and little touches from the past are beautiful. We sat outside for the first time, they had a heated patio area. You still needed a jacket, but we enjoyed it! Service is always great, and even fast on a very busy night! read more

Visited on Saturday.... 11/16/24 Food menu is awkward.. Brunch (which is really breakfast items) until 3 Then only "Snack Menu" between the hours of 3 to 4 . The beer tastes like medicine.. sampled 4 My assumption is they clean their tanks with bleach . Then it's an open kitchen concept and the cook was screaming at the wait staff... Bartender gave us an attitude because we wouldn't order food . When I turned to look at what the cook was yelling at and he mouthed "FU". .... Nice .... ‍ NOT... Not sure if that was in general whatever his issue was ..... .....or aimed at me personally because I turned around to see who he was and what he was screaming at.. This place sucks!!!!! I've been all around the world and In Some really shitty dive bars.... They (others) had better atmosphere than here. read more

Salt Springs Brewery - Michigan salad with smoked chicken added - Breweries Near Me - Saline, Michigan

A unique venue operating in a former Church in downtown Saline. A short drive from Ann Arbor, this is one of our favorite destinations. Their outdoor patio is great in the summer. Salt Springs offer a great variety of craft brews, ciders and cocktails. My wife and I like lighter brews so we tried the Siesta Cervaza, a Mexican amber lager which was well balanced not too much hops. Our dinner choices included the Grilled Pork Chops which had a spice rub and strawberry-rhubarb compote, with smoked sweet potatoes. The chops were done perfectly, tender and very flavorful. My wife had the Shrimp Linguine with white shrimp, garlic, white wine, butter and shaved Parmesan. The dish was fresh, light and flavorful. Salt Springs sources their ingredients from local farms so menu options are always very fresh and flavorful. Portions are generous. Our server Cade was very attentive, took great care of us and did not rush us as we were visiting with friends. ( Sorry no pics for this one, got so excited when the food arrived, forgot to take them :(. Would definitely checking out Salt Springs Brewery. read more

I loved the brunch here! I was visiting some friends in Michigan in October and they brought me here for Sunday brunch. I knew the space was converted from a church, and these re-invented restaurants are always so cool because you can see the layout and old bones of the place from its past life. We were a larger group, so we sat upstairs in a more private space for larger parities. We had 5 adults and 2 kiddos and our server took really good care of us. We also had a reservation, so I would highly recommend making a rez, especially during the weekend or if you have a large party. We has their brussels sprouts to share and they were phenomenal! My cousin, who is a first year at U of M and a recent Ann Arbor transplant had heart about these brussels, so we had to order them to try. I also got a Bloody Mary which was tart and savory and spicy and oh so satisfying. As someone who can be overwhelmed with brunch options and wants to try everything on the menu, their "Roscoe's Best of Both Worlds" was literally an answered prayer. One biscuit with sausage gravy and one eggs benny, served with crispy potatoes: this indecisive girl did not need to choose :) I had a blast with my friends and an amazing brunch here. It's not too far from campus, but far away enough where you will see more of a mix of locals, families, and students. I would come back in a heart beat. read more

Very disappointing. Such a beautiful venue, but the food quality has greatly deteriorated since our last visit. Shrinkflation? Seems they are trying to recoup the higher food costs by shrinking the portions. Chicken nachos: very hard to find the chicken. It was maybe a table spoon of very finely chopped/shredded chicken. Then a couple of black beans and a few jalapenos sprinkled on top with a small dollop of some sort of creamy white sauce. Chicken shawarma: one boneless chicken thigh topped with some sort of white sauce and a small scoop of bland yellow rice on the side for $23. Go for the atmosphere, but not for the food! read more

The physical restaurant is so cool, housed in an old church with beautiful stained glass, however our experience with the food was horrible. Came in on a Sunday ordered breakfast sandwich. It came on a biscuit that was rock hard on the bottom. I could not even bite through it. When I brought it up to our waitress she said, well they're all like that. Knowing it's basically inedible how could they keep serving it? I suggested she get me another biscuit top as the top was a bit softer. That seemed to work so I managed to eat it. The potatoes that came with our meals were like petrified pieces of chalk. Didn't want to send those back because of my issue with the biscuit. Beat salad was good but when you call it a beet salad, beets should be the stars of the show...only 5 small cubes on top. Maybe the beer is great? But usually breweries also have good food to accompany the beer. read more

This used to be an church and now hosts one of my favorite places to eat in downtown Saline. I absolutely love the outdoor seating and the ambiance with the outdoor fire pit if you can snag that spot. The smoker is also outside and smells amazing. It's a fun vibe. The food options are great and the drinks are always good. I love the flight options! This is a great place to go get a few drinks, as it's a local brewery or have a full meal with the family. Lots of options for everyone & if traveling with littles, it's located directly across from a sweets shop :) read more

Checkin' out new eats in my new 'hood! Salt Springs has been on my radar as we drive by it...nearly daily now! As other reviews have said, the space is BEAUTIFUL. The stained glass, high ceilings, wow, wow, wow. Our server was pretty attentive and upbeat! We had the: *Breakfast Tarte (creme fraiche . grand cru gruyere . sweet onion . fuji apples . smoked bacon . fried egg . rosemary . cracked black pepper . pure maple syrup) - a BREAKFAST pizza y'all! I was skeptical and worried by the many many ingredients but it was the PERFECT balance. The housemade sourdough pizza dough was wonderful too. *Roscoe's Best of Both Worlds (one biscuit with sausage & gravy one eggs benny . crispy potatoes) - Great flavor & the bennie was awesome. Only complaint was that the biscuit was a weee bit dense for my preference, but still good! Loved the crispy potatoes, they were PERFECT. I also LOVE LOVE LOVE the giant 32oz cans aka Crowlers! It's such a fun souvenir, gift, or just to take home. The packaging is pretty sweet. It's not a large space so make rezzies on OpenTable! read more
