Farmhaus Cider was one of those places where we showed up thinking we'd stay for a little while and…read moresomehow ended up spending the whole afternoon there. The entire family came, the weather was perfect, the kids played board games, and the adults actually got to relax for a minute, which honestly felt like a small miracle. The staff were incredible. Genuinely some of the nicest people I've ever met. They were welcoming, helpful, and so much fun that before long we were singing along with them like we had known them forever. And the boy band playlist was absolutely fantastic. I'm talking the kind of playlist that has you suddenly questioning why you ever stopped listening to boy bands in the first place. When I Want It That Way came on, there was really only one appropriate response: tell me why. The ciders were crisp, refreshing, and really enjoyable. Between the food trucks, outdoor seating, fire pits, string lights, board games, music, and just the overall atmosphere, this is the kind of place that makes you want to stay awhile. We kept saying we should probably head out soon, but then another song came on, somebody grabbed another drink, and suddenly we were approaching closing time. Great drinks, great people, great atmosphere, and a place where the whole family can actually have a good time. We'll definitely be back.

This place has amazing vibes and great cider. Their website has the food truck schedule that…read moreincludes times so that you know when to go if you also want food. Not a food truck day? I saw a lot of people bringing coolers with their own food, as well. You can get regular size cider pours or you can do a flight. They have pre built flights but you can also build your own. Their mix of ciders includes options for all pallets ranging from sweet to non sweet and some dry options. My favorite was the rhubarb lime (semi-sweet). There is an abundance of seating available and multiple fire pits with seating if you want something even cozier. You can bring your kids, your dog, your friends and family here. There is always a large range of visitors and everyone is always super friendly. A great spot for some nice outdoor pictures, as well. In the winter they do igloos. I can't wait to bring my friends to an igloo this winter! The staff here are so friendly and bathrooms are kept really clean. They also serve some baked goods, like donuts and they are really good! There is a fridge inside with canned coder if you want to take some home! Parking lot is big and if they are super busy, they sometimes have an employee helping direct where to park. Love this spot!!! Such a vibe.

Pux Cider has been one of my go to concert venues. I have attended countless shows here over the…read moreyears and have always had such a good time. They cultivate a very fun and comfortable environment. Despite being a small space, they manage to pack so many events and people in to be able to connect. They often have game nights with Mario Kart, MtG, and lots of live music. I don't drink alcohol so I can't speak to the ciders but I know they have a good variety for different palates. They recently added some food to the menu which I think was a fun addition. It's bar food but well priced IMO. The staff have always been soooo incredibly kind and supportive of the local community. You can tell that they really value the people who come in and make a concerted effort to get to know everyone. I have only had good experiences talking with them and they always are good to remember me and give me a warm welcome. They do have a small parking lot and there's a park across the street in case anything gets filled! I definitely recommend checking out some local music here or attending one of the collabs with the Cheese Lady next door.

The atmosphere they've created is cute, welcoming, and very family friendly. One of the servers argued about giving us a wrong sample, but a different staff member agreed and gave us the correct one. Even if we were wrong, when you have a group trying so many of your wines/ciders would you really make a big deal about one little sample?

After living here for almost 4 years I was very surprised to just now be hearing about this amazing…read moreplace. As I was reading the Michigan BrewTrail magazine I ran across their advertisement page, and was confused that it had a Grand Rapids address so It prompted me to do a little research. After a deep dive I found out that they are a farm/farmers market and a restaurant, cider/winery. If you Yelp search you won't find their restaurant, cider/winery because it pops up as Ed Dunneback and Girls Farm Market. This new Pink Barrel Cellars page should help separate this from just a farmers market, and help highlight some of their amazing food and drink. I went on their last day of live music according to their online schedule. When I showed up the parking lot was full and there was well over 100 people there. If you go inside you will immediately notice that this place is so much more than a farmers market. In the back they have a bar serving some amazing ales, seltzers, stouts, ciders, and wine by the glass. In the middle they have fresh donuts, wine by the bottle, fresh fruits and vegetables for sale. Near the front they have a food stand. All the employees were spectacular and very informative. I had many questions, and they were all very Knowledgeable. Found out they have a few beers that have won national beer awards. For lunch I wound up ordering the pretzel with beer cheese, and ordered a honeycrisp ale. The shareable size of the menu isn't joking. It's very large and you're gonna want to share. I was so full after my pretzel that I couldn't even think about a second beer. The beer cheese was the BEST beer cheese I've ever eaten in my life. It was out of this world. The beer was also pretty spectacular. The beer was so good that I couldn't resist the urge to buy some wine by the bottle with the hopes it was just as good. I enjoyed everything at their outdoor seating while listening to live music. If I had gone with someone I definitely would of taken advantage of cornhole and drank wine by the glass. After eating I couldn't resist walking around the farm that had a ton of people running and smiling. In the back I observed the piggies, Eddie and Joe, napping. Also got to say hi to their pony's and goats . I walked through the orchard, and also the pick your own pumpkin patch. They have a huge slidefor the kids, and a playground. Highly recommend following this place on social media to stay up to date on menu changes, and event updates. Such an eventful Sunday afternoon. Definitely worth the visit.

Frugthaven Farm is quite different from the old Klackle's orchard that used to operate here, but…read moreit's a unique spot. I'd been curious about how the space had been transformed, so Nate and I stopped in recently while in town. The main building now houses a fresh market, coffee shop, gift shop, cider bar, and a bespoke barbershop. There is another building on the premises that is a separate boutique store called Pink & Frillos, but that wasn't open when we stopped by. It's a little bit of a lot of things, but what we experienced was nice. They also rent some part of the place as an event venue. I'm not sure if they still do u-pick apples, hayrides, corn mazes etc. or not. We ordered a meat, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich, a couple coffee drinks, and a doughnut. The employees were not overly friendly or even really smiling, so I agree that they could have been friendlier - they all seemed to be high school or college age. Our order was done quickly and we settled in to eat. The sandwich was hot and the croissant was buttery and soft. I really liked the crispy bacon on the sandwich. It was a good portion to split along with the cinnamon sugar doughnut, which was fresh and fluffy. My oat milk latte was decent but nothing special. They use Madcap coffee at Frugthaven. Overall we had a nice time and I'd come back to try the hard cider. There's some outdoor seating and the bar area looked spacious and airy. The old timey barbershop is cool, but feels a bit weird and out of place. Otherwise the other elements of the business seem to fit. They seem to be catering to an older/Millennial crowd that wants a good shot for Instagram, versus the more family-friendly farm that it used to be. Nothing wrong with that, just something to note, especially if you knew it before.

The owner missed the mark on this one. What is there to do?

It's like going into meijer and sitting between the shelves and drinking coffee I really don't understand what she was thinking but this business will 100% fail. Should've stuck with what the people want. A fall farm that families can spend all day at. What an epic fail

The problem is top down from the General Manger, Shift Manager, and very poorly trained server. Also very average bar food for fine dining prices. When we arrived it was busy so we expected things to take a minute. However after sitting for 15 minutes we flagged down a waitress. She wasn't ours but took our order which we appreciated. Our server finally showed up. Took 5 mins to get water and another 10 to get our drink order. Then 40 mins latter still no food. The people who sat behind us arrived after us had their food and by the time we got our food they were done. All the while our server never came to our table. I flagged a busboy asked him to find our server and asked to see a manager. By this time we had already been there over an hour. The shift manager show up before our food and rather than apologize for the poor service he proceeded to tell us the excuses for why our food has taken so long. I finally got tired of his excuses I said "stop making excuses and get us our food". A few minutes later the food showed up. No silverware, salt/pepper, ketchup or drink refills. Again asked a bus person to help. Waitress never came back. After a few minutes the General Manager came out accused us of being disrespectful to his server and shift manager and proceeded to start swearing at us. We never said anything to the server and the only thing I said to the shift manager was stop making excuses and get our food. The GM again never acknowledged the poor service and accused us of swearing and being disrespectful. Never listened to us and asked us to leave. He threatened to physically remove me rather than listen to how bad the service was ‍ Incompetence at all levels. Save your time and money.

We went in a Thursday night and we're seated immediately. Our server Bella was super friendly and made a few beer suggestions for me as well. I had a flight of 5 beers and a cider. My favorite beer was their Sacred Maize.... a Peruvian Chicha Style beer. We started with the Seoul Food Poutine which was crispy fries topped with braised beef,curds,fried egg and onions. Absolutely delicious but could have been hotter in temperature. We split a GF Goat Cheese and sausage pizza. Unfortunately the first one they brought out was raw in the middle so we waited for a second one which was better but not great. It might have been an off night for the kitchen but all in all a good variety of food options and interesting beers on tap.

This was unfortunately our first and last visit…read more We arrived and were seated, but just a few minutes later were rushed to place our food order. While we understand they were closing in about an hour, the way we were treated felt unprofessional. We ordered one sandwich--the Hash Slingin' Slasher--and handed over our card to start a tab. From the start, we felt unwelcome. We sat in a corner and were being stared at by other customers, who appeared to be regulars & family members. The difference in treatment between them and us was striking. Most concerning was the young bartender, whose behavior was clearly unprofessional. She was rude and dismissive toward us, yet extremely friendly, upbeat, and attentive to everyone else. This made the atmosphere tense and uncomfortable for first-time guests. Around 7:06 PM, an older couple arrived. The staff greeted them warmly with smiles and even hugs. They had no issues ordering food, were asked about drinks, and were made to feel welcome. Meanwhile, we were rushed, ignored, and never asked about drinks. When I went up to order a mocktail, a bottle of peach sangria to go, and a box for our sandwich, all conversation stopped. Multiple regulars & family members turned and stared at me--it wasn't subtle. My fiancée noticed it too. It didn't feel like a "closing soon" situation; it felt exclusionary. We had stopped by once before near closing time and met Nicholas, who was very kind--that's why we came back. Sadly, his kindness couldn't overcome the unprofessional behavior and uncomfortable atmosphere. The canned meads are excellent, the bottled wines are solid, and the food itself was good, but the overall experience left us feeling unwelcome.
