We were seated right away and our server was super helpful and had great recommendations. The menu is huge and everything sounded really good. They feature some things that you don't see elsewhere in town, like the Cudighi, which is a Yooper classic! Nate ordered that and I got the firecracker salmon bowl. I really enjoyed the food - the salmon bowl was a good portion and very fresh. I liked the veggies and the flavor was Asian-inspired. The Cudighi sandwich is basically a pizza sub with a spicy sausage patty that's been baked in mustard. It's unique and interesting, and Nate enjoyed it. We don't get to the NW side of town that often, but I would make a special trip to visit Roasted again. They have weekly specials and features, and a Saturday prime rib dinner!

Most of all, we appreciated the hospitality and the fact that the food was good despite the Saturday rush. Note: waited 25 mins for our App like orders, which we thought was a bit long but it for mostly fried food in my own opinion!! The patio area is so cute also even though we didn't get to experience it!

They do have some unique appetizers like cheese and bacon stuffed tater tots, which are rather good. A bit on the pricier side for apps but I've never seen tots like this and appreciate it. The first time we went here, back when they first opened, the owner was lovely and introduced himself. Last night we learned 2 of his sons work there as well. Cool that it's family owned. They also kill it with decorations. Very festive for Christmas.

We came in on Saturday night, 7/25/26 around 5:30pm before going to a concert at Acrisure. We…read moredidn't have a reservation but fortunately there was room at the bar - which is our preferred seating spot anyway. I was surprised at how long it took for the 2 hosts to greet us - as we were standing directly in front of them. They were talking to one another, and it was probably work related, but to just stand there staring at them for a couple minutes while they ignored us was awkward. When they finally talked to us they weren't very friendly. Anyway, we made our way to the bar and it was full except for 3 seats. I think the bartender waiting on us was new. He seemed like he was pretty overwhelmed/in the weeds. He greeted us quickly and brought us waters when he did, which I appreciated. I ordered a Blackeberry Bourbon Sour and my Mr had Paloma Nuestra. We both enjoyed our drinks they were refreshing and well crafted. For dinner I had a really hard time deciding! I wanted to try so many things! Our bartender said his favorite thing in the menu is the chicken and rice bowl. That was something I was considering and decided to go with that. Excellent recommendation! The chicken was flavorful and so tender. The hot peppers were a nice touch. There was a lot of food too! I couldn't finish it all. Mr had the hanger steak that was served with mushroom and asparagus risotto. He said the risotto was the best he's ever had, and I agree. The asparagus was perfectly cooked and so was the steak. The space is really nice, felt intimate without being overcrowded. We are looking forward to coming back!

While I've heard of it, and driven by a handful of times, I am never ready to try it... but finally, I had my moment! The parking lot is quite tight (it was filled with very large trucks so it felt a little limited driving through) but we found a parking spot outside very easily. Once we got inside, we were greeted quickly, sat immediately and the server came by to grab our drink order within seconds! She even provided us somer recommendations for food and I decided to go for the chicken sandwich and fries. Honestly, it was HUGE and I absolutely loved the fries. The sandwich was juicy and flavorful and I really want to come back to try more of their options... I just need to remember to go to the westside more often to grab dinner.

Parking was a bit tricky as they have a small lot (made even smaller by the massive amounts of snow we have this winter!). The menu is large and has a lot of interesting and unique bar-type foods. Lots of burgers, sandwiches, appetizers, etc. We started with the dill pickle wontons, which were really tasty and nice for the group to share because they were cut into chunks. For my dinner I ordered the smokehouse burger with a side of tots. Nate got the junkyard with fries. Handhelds and burgers come with chips but you can upgrade to fries, tots, or onion rings for an additional charge. Our food came out pretty quickly and looked really good! My burger was huge and juicy and nicely cooked. The tots were interesting - they are housemade and reminded me of arancini. Very good, but not what I was expecting. I had a bite of Nate's sandwich which was kind of a loaded reuben, with bacon, haystack onions, smoked gouda, etc. Yum! Our server was really kind and service was great even though it was busy. I will definitely be back to this spot the next time I'm in the area.

To drink he had the Sodfather that he joked was actually made with sod as it smelled very "earthy". Not a highlight for either of us. For a "light" beer it was skunky and surprisingly hoppy. I had the Sparking Anderson seltzer and was pleased with it. It was a watermelon lime (I think?) and it had the right ratio of flavor to fizz for me. The absolute highlight was the PIZZA FLIGHT. What the what!? We have never heard of such a thing and we were so excited! This gave us an opportunity to try some flavors/kinds we likely would not have tried otherwise. Each kind of pizza had 4 slices, which we assumed would be about 2 bites per piece, but they were bigger than that. Each flight serves 4+ people, but for the price, $35 )if I remember right) is a hell of a deal. Being there early afternoon there were a lot of tables with kids, and when you figure you can feed your family for that price - this makes Mitten Brewing a no brainer. The pizza was some of the best I've had - for that specific style of pizza. The crust was flatbread style, chewy and such a good flavor. We should have asked for a side ranch to dip the crust in, it was that good. We will absolutely go back when we have the chance.

In fact, that's what I got, along with the chicken chimis app. It's a dressed-up version of a dive bar on the normal (i.e. not downtown) streets of Grand Rapids, with a good selection of beers on tap, but you have to go walk over to the wall to see those. The waitress' attitude was kinda familiar and divey. I could see this being a locals' place. Service was pretty quick, food was overall pretty good. Good dipping sauce for the chicken, the hot dog had a nice balance of ingredients nestled in the pretzel bun (I got the fully loaded one). Not a bad value overall. I guess... you can see from my review nothing stood out as 5 stars. Everything is good about the tavern, nothing bad to say, but nothing that props it above the rest. One man's opinion. I see a lot of 5s in the other reviews and I can appreciate that.
