    Freezer Burnt Lasagne Roll that was plated and served to me
    Michelle P.

    Save yourself from a case of food poisoning, by just sticking to the onion rings. I ordered the Three's Company which came. with a lasagne roll .... They plated and served me a FREEZER BURNT LASAGNE ROLL .... Also ordered Burnt Ends Mac and Cheese , that they plated and served that had been reheated so many times there was no cheese left , and the noodles were nothing but dried out rubber. The ONLY POSITIVE HERE IS THE ONION RINGS and their homemade ranch .

    Grilled salmon Mac n cheese and asparagus

    Got right in and the food was delicious! Their Tham Rolls were delicious! We usually go as a big group and as a family definitely a place to hang out.

    Side of fries

    My boyfriend and I stopped in to Shots on the River after a friend's volleyball game there. We'd been there to watch other games before but I'd never had food or drinks here. The place wasn't too busy on a Wednesday evening so we got a big table right away. Our server was great and kept up with water refills and checked on us quite a bit while we were there. They have great specials for people on sports teams but you must be wearing a uniform (team t-shirt) to get them. I'd heard their wings were really good, so we ordered some with a side of fries. Our friend got a 12" one topping pizza that looked great! I'd definitely get that next time. The wings were pretty good, but not the best I've ever had. They were big and crispy with the right amount of sauce. I would probably order them again. The side of fries was okay but super salty. Overall this is a fun place to check out with a group of friends after a game or on a warm evening!

    Some of the rings. We already dug into some

    Why charge full price on apps when the menu states 1/2 off apps. "Oh, we aren't doing that today" doesn't cut it as an excuse.

We stopped in on a weekday around 7 pm and there was plenty of open seating in the large bar area. Our server was pretty busy but very kind. I ordered the chicken parmigiana and Nate got the wet burrito. Our food did take a bit of time to come out, but when it arrived, everything was hot and fresh. The chicken parm was a huge portion and it came with an entire loaf of garlic bread, so I had plenty of leftovers. It was super saucy (which I liked) and cheesy. It was also really salty! I had several bites of Nate's burrito, which was flavorful and tasty (also very salty). Overall it was a good visit, the bar was large and clean, and I'm glad we got a chance to check it out.

Give them a try as they have a wide viarity of food items.

Although this place has a horrible reputation, we decided to give it a shot. ...... oops! lol It's a much younger atmosphere on a Friday evening then we would like, however, since we walked down there, we decided to grab a drink anyways. The service is horrendous. The drinks were horrible. And the atmosphere was that of a high school cafeteria. Almost literally. We noticed one of our friends, daughters and her friend who are here drinking at a table with several other peers. Problem is these girls are only 19 years old. We immediately spoke with these girls and contacted their parents and also let the Bar know. The Bar tenders did not care and I guess the owner whoever he or she is fully knows and is very supportive of this based off with the bartender and some regulars were alluding to. We have contacted the local police department and the MLCC . Apparently, when filing report with the police department, this place has been under a microscope for quite some time. I would not be surprised if it is closed down within the next year or two.

We had beers while we waited for our table and the bartenders were great. Quick service and they were friendly. We were seated at a booth after 30ish minutes. Shaun was our server and he took such good care of us! Our refills were quick, he was so nice and our food was as exactly as we ordered. We had a deluxe pizza on hand tossed crust. I tell ya what - that crust is GOOD. The bottom was crispy and the end was soft and chewy. Decent amount of toppings too! We also had a Caesar wrap with crispy chicken. They add diced tomatoes here - and I like that! Shaun did ask if I was ok with tomatoes, he must have had people complain in the past to know to ask. We went with chips as a side, I knew I wasn't going to eat enough of the side to spend the extra $$ on an upgrade to fries. Z's is a downtown staple, especially late night. It's been a LONG time since we've been out in GR late night, but it was good to know the food is really good when sober too Of course we'll be back!

I ordered chicken wings and a thin-crust pizza. Honestly, both were mediocre at best, and I had a bad feeling from the start. The wings were too soft and mushy, which should have been a warning sign, but I went ahead anyway since there weren't a lot of other options around. Big mistake. To make matters worse, I ended up with full-blown food poisoning the next day--I've been throwing up all day, and it's clear it came from that meal. And the service was just as frustrating. The bartender told me it was happy hour but never gave me a happy hour menu. When the bill came, everything was full price. So what's the point of mentioning happy hour if you're not actually going to honor it? On top of that, the bartender said she was done with her shift but then lingered around for another hour or so until I left. She just wanted me to pay up quick for some reason. Just a ridiculous experience all around. Trust me, steer clear of Z's Bar if you value your health and your wallet. Awful.

It's one of our favorite places when we want food late night in town.
