Inside they lean into the old fashioned theme with the wood and bar, brewing equipment in a side room with some seats, some seats and small bar in the main room, and an upstairs. Bathrooms are large and clean. Staff was fast and polite, I had three beers and all three were good to really good.

We were chatting about great restaurants and sharing recommendations when this restaurant came up…read more It was already on my to-go list, so the conversation compelled me to visit even earlier. Craft Grille operates out of Schoolcraft College at Vistatech Center, and is located right next to American Harvest, another favorite restaurant of mine. The Brewing & Distillation Technology program creates the brews here, and I believe the food is cooked by students. On a Tuesday evening during the summer, the main parking lot was ripped up and closed off during construction, but I still found my way to the small pub underneath all the scaffolding. A ballgame was playing on the TV while the bartender was chatting with the sole guest at the bar. I knew that I would be having the Porto in Paradise Burger, but I still glanced at the menu to see what was available. Everything looked good and next time, I plan to have the BLT, wings, and parfait flight. The burger I ordered was served medium-rare, featured an 8oz steak patty, topped with a portobello mushroom, and Boursin and provolone cheeses. It was accompanied by a mound of the most amazing sage and roasted garlic fries. I did not expect to like the fries as much as I did. Service was fantastic. The bartender responded to my questions and kept the conversation going with the guests (now 3 of us) at the bar.

This restaurant is a fantastic addition to Schoolcraft College's campus…read more Located inside the VistaTech Center, the Craft Grille is a bar-style restaurant that serves student-brewed award-winning beer and complementary food. The food always tastes fantastically fresh, and the beer hits the spot. I've had the reuben (so tasty) but the grilled chicken sandwich really absolutely blew me away. I didn't know it could make me so happy. On this occassion, I ordered the half-size caesar salad with grilled chicken, and I could feel happy and content that I'd gone the healthier route while still treating my tastebuds. Also, as if to go above and beyond in service, I had a nearby meeting and placed my take away order before my meeting kicked off, telling them what time I expected to be done. When my meeting finished? A freshly made lunch was waiting for me. Magical. Game changing. So happy. The only caveat I could say that it has a very small seating area, and, depending on whether or not there are conference-type events in VistaTech, it can get very busy very quickly. For that I would potentially knock it down to a 4.5 star, but the food and beer quickly makes up for it. So happy to see these kinds of food offerings to Schoolcraft's campus. They've done a stellar job, and it'd be nice to see them expand.

We visited during the Ice Festival in Plymouth which was probably not the best time to come as they…read morewere short-staffed. We arrived when it was not too crowded, but the restaurant very quickly filled up just after we arrived and unfortunately our posted server didn't notice us for quite a while so we had to flag someone to serve us and by that point the restaurant was getting pretty busy. Poor timing - oh well. We ordered the Prime Rib French Dip to split, as neither of us has a huge appetite but that was probably not a great decision. Usually, French dip sandwiches are huge, but this one was served on a hot dog bun, so not overly big. It was served with a healthy dose of horseradish cream sauce and was pretty tasty. I meant to substitute fries but in the chaos of it all forgot, so the sandwich came with chips which were unfortunately quite ordinary. My father ordered a beer flight and was quite pleased with his selections (6 x 3oz pours for $15). He most enjoyed the Sonorous Stout and he's a big fan of stouts and lagers in general. I think my father definitely enjoyed his experience and this was mostly for him, so that was good. I would definitely consider getting him a growler to go in the future since he really seemed to enjoy the beer very much.

Supernatural has become one of my favorite breweries to visit. The staff are nice, the customers…read moreare nice... it's just all-around nice. They have food, but I've only had a burger there once and honestly I can't remember much about it. But obviously the big draw here is their beer. They always have a good selection and something I enjoy. I think any beer lover can find something they will like. One of the only things I can say is a little negative is the restroom. Nowhere to put your bag when you are the sink (and no paper towel to put down to keep said bag out of the sink water that splashes up), and you're right in front of a stall when drying your hands. Oh and the soap is only one the one side of the counter. It's all just very awkward. If they could get things a little more inline in there, I'd give them 6 out of 5 stars.

The dip trio personally isn't my thing. I ordered the shrimp tacos for the entree and the menu didn't mention that the sauce had a bit of a spicy kick to it, which would have made me not pick it. We sat outside, which was nice and shaded, but the amount of bees and flies was a bit frustrating and annoying.

We rolled through Batch for lunch and a cold one after a little sightseeing in the area. We opted…read moreto sit outside, since it was a nice day. They had plenty of umbrella covered tables to keep you out of the sun. The only negative: you order with toast tab, and there's no way to customize anything. My husband has food allergies, so it knocked out a bunch of options. We settled on nachos, and they wound up being really tasty. We did add a little salt, but overall very good and filling. (The chorizo and avocado were a little extra.) My husband went up to the bar to get some samples for us to try, and we both chose the Pocket Calculator. It was rich, sweet, and very tasty. The waitress brought food and drinks out quickly when they were ready. This is a great place to stop, especially if you are allergy-free!

While we were there, a family pulled in asking for help. Their boat trailer had somehow detached from their vehicle and was laying, tilted forward on the pavement.

In fact, after my visit, I think I actually appreciate its rough appearance. As soon as I walked in, I felt like I was entering "the real deal" of craft; nothing fancy - just quality. In addition to his beers, he also makes his own spirits and the whiskey was absolutely phenomenal. I'm not a huge whiskey guy so I'm sure a "snobby" person may have a different opinion but it's most definitely worth a shot during your visit. The owner, who was working behind the bar, was extremely personable and seemed to make quick friends with every guest that came in. You could tell he takes a lot of pride in his craft. I will be back and will make sure I bring others with me to experience this hidden gem.

I went with the market salad and the grilled salmon. Service is always a top highlight when coming to this location and it leaves you with a big smile on your face.

The salmon was crispy and paired perfectly with the potatoes and asparagus. Lots of flavors to decipher but a great combination. I topped off the night with the crème brûlée trio and was not disappointed. Each one had a different texture and flavor, the perfect cherry on top. Gotta give a shoutout to Anthony, who was my server and treated me with so much kindness and respect. I look forward to returning soon!
