Very good food and friendly fast service. They also have beer, but nothing to write home about.

A nice little brewpub. Would like to see more beers on tap for a wider variety. The food is great, the service is awesome. The beer is good, could be a little better - but still, good pints poured here!

Another brew pub that has not changed much over the years, but has stood the test of time fairly well. They have a good Oatmeal Stout when it’s in season, but with most of the other beer I have tried they tend to play it safe. This is another place that when it opened was unique, but now the market is saturated (not that that is bad thing for us craft beer lovers). This make a nice night out. Food is good. Service is good. We occasionally stop on our way through GR, although newer brewers such as Founders definitely steal the thunder away from places like this. The advantage for this place is location (28th street near I-96). It’s near everything that goes along with the mess that is 28th street in the mall-shopping district.

Visited twice on business. Relaxed atmosphere at lunchtime...prices for food are competitive, and the food is pretty good. Beer is about average for your typical brewpub, and it has a family establishment feel, so the beers are obviously designed to cater to the casual beer drinker. Usually only one beer on tap that is ’outside the norm’...e.g. an Impy Stout or a Maibock...otherwise, its the traditional blonde, lager, red, etc that you choose from. All this being said, I left this place satisfied and would visit again, though if we went somewhere else next time, I wouldn’t be disappointed...get my drift?

Last visit was for a beer tasting hosted by a friend of mine. Service was friendly, beer was enjoyable but nothing to right home about. I didn’t eat the food, but the guy next to me had some great looking chicken tenders... can’t screw those up. Had a burger on my most recent visit - it sucked

Stopped in for food and some beer and came away pretty disappointed. The beer wasn’t very good and the burger I had tasted like lighter fluid. The service wasn’t terrible, but nothing to write home about either. My sampler platter arrived with beer spilled all over the place – but in the end I guess it didn’t matter since the beer was well below average.

Smokey bar, below average beer, comatose servers.. I don’t think they really care...

I’ve been there twice, but didn’t like the service. Food isn’t great! It’s fine place to try. That’s all.

I went here on a Sunday at about 2 in the afternoon. The brewer was always very friendly at the MBG Fests and said they’d have bottles on hand. So I called about the seasonals a few days earlier and was told a Tripel and Lambic were on, sounds great. I didn’t sit at the bar because of smoking so I had to deal with screaming kids instead. It’s taking a hit on atmosphere for that alone. It had a Red Robin-esque vibe about the place. The waitress was very friendly and a bit on the slow side, but they were a bit busy. They had about 5 regular taps and 2 or 3 seasonals. I ordered the Raspberry Lambic which was a bit cloying, but I’ve had worse. I ordered a burger which was probably the best thing about the place. They didn’t have bottles because the brewer quit and the new guy is settling in.

Stopped in here with the family for lunch. They have a special lunch menue $5.99 lunch includes a soda,the food was Very good. I had the beer sampler and the 6th all the beers were so/so nothing special,took home a growler of the Octoberfest,not bad, Our waitress was Super nice,knowledgable,and did an awesome job ! The place was clean and quiet with some soft old time music playing in the background. All in all we had fun and left full ,we’ll be back.
