One of the nicest restaurants I have been to in that area I was very impressed, there seemed to be quite a few diverse selections for food also...More than just your typical burger and chicken fingers you get at most bars. I really liked the Artichoke Dip and the Flatbread Pizza on the menu. As far as service goes I was impressed from the minute I walked in the door! It was quite busy and my group wanted to start out at a table before going to the bar for drinks and the hostess Katie was so helpful and friendly and quickly got us a table and even bring us water before our server even came over!! Our server was ok, a little bit slow at brining stuff out and only checked on us once after we got our food but I guess it was because they were busy. After dinner though we went up to the bar and met one of my new favorite bartenders Mitch!! Tried one of the drink specials he offered and it was delicious and then he just started making me his own concoctions that were beyond amazing I had to get the recipe myself. He was so great we actually ended up coming back 2 more nights later last week just to see him! Overall...Not many other places to go in little Owosso..but this place is great. My new favorite spot when I come back and visit, hope it sticks around for a while.

The menu is really good it's full it offers lots of different choices for people of all ages. I got the bacon cheeseburger with french fries and a shake. The shake was absolutely delicious I could go back for just that. It was super thick not overly sweet. It came in a cool metal cup with an actual metal spoon I mean who even gives metal spoon these days. The bacon cheeseburger had crispy edges crispy bacon a fresh tomato and a soft pillowy bun. French fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I also had some fried pickles with ranch dressing. The fried pickles were nice because the batter was really thin often times the batter's so thick you can't even taste the pickle this was not the case. I was absolutely thrilled with all of my food it was tasty, it was fresh and hot, the place was clean, and the service was friendly I would go back any day and I would recommend them to anyone.

Well, I mean, if eating was a sport I would be an Olympic gold medalist. But since it's the off season, I'm eating for pleasure, not business. Pulling up, you can absolutely tell it's a sports bar. A lot of that has to do because it says so on the sign. But even if that wasn't there, you would guess it's genre of restaurant. The inner part of the building, where the cooking and eating take place, also speaks loudly of this restaurants affiliation with sports. One thing that was nice with this place was that the seating is spread out enough to where you don't feel packed in. There's plenty of room for movement without having to stand on a table to let people walk by. As is the custom, I ordered boneless wings as an app. Buffalo flavor. The sauce. not the animal. Came with complimentary ranch I will use and complementary celery I will ignore. The wings were good. Had great flavor and the breading wasn't too thick. I like the taste of chicken in my boneless chicken pieces. Also, as is the custom, I ordered a second app. The pizza puffs. Now, from where I come from, we have several sports bar restaurants that specialize in Pizza Puff Apps™. Therefore, those restaurants are the bar to which these will be measured. That being said, I do feel the outside of these were a little too hard. Almost had a crust. Not ideal. The PPA (Pizza Puff Apps™) I'm used to are like fluffy clouds of dreams. Like puffs are meant to be. Theses missed that mark. The marinara sauce was good and the orange cheese was great. Though they do upcharge for the OC (Orange Cheese). My Main Character Meal™ was the classic fish-n-chips. Cod: 2 pieces. Fries: Crinke. Firstly, the fries. Crinkle cut fries are God tier and I saw Jesus with these. Secondly, the fish was great. Great batter, great flakeyness. The missed the mark with the tartar sauce though. It had a sweet taste, which didn't couple well with the fish taste. Tartar sauce needs to have more of the first part of their name in it. Oh. The southwest ranch for obligatory fry dipping was fantastic. Pizza Puff Apps™: 7/10 Fish part of the fish-n-chips: 10/10 Tartness of tarter sauce: 4/10 Sports bar-ness: 11/10

Savannah was great from beginning to end, her knowledge and expertise shined as she recommended menu items, sauces and homemade chef specialities. The 242 House BBQ was our absolute favorite sauce. Food/Drinks 10/10! We had 2 appetizers, 2 meals and drinks. The Crispy Brussel Sprouts appetizer is hands down one of the best dishes we've had - it's filled with so much flavor with the roasted garlic, bleu cheese, almonds, balsamic - yum! The Tuna Poke Bowl was recommended and it was so healthy, fresh and delicious. I opted for no bang-bang sauce on the bowl and I'm glad I did, it was perfect with the teriyaki on top. The chicken appetizer was tender and juicy, well cooked but it was our least favorite - nothing too creative or special, or flavorful but with the BBQ sauce it was really good. The Jim's Lock & Ladder Burger was amazing - juicy, flavorful, the pimento cheese and burger sauce were a fantastic compliment. The atmosphere is cozy, chic date night vibes. The restaurant filled up quite fast so after our meals we moved up to the bar top to enjoy a cocktail. Highly recommend a Smoked Old Fashioned! Service, food and vibes were all 10/10!

The blue cheese & roasted garlic, the sauce & fried Brussels very yummy. Good sized for sharing. I had the Island Jerk Chicken, which was delicious. Besides the ancient grains & mango salsa, you also pick a side. I had the hot honey drizzled sweet potato slices, very good. A lot of food--I took half home. A friend had the French Onion Chicken, which she said was good. My other friend, gluten free, had her Cod prepared wrong, but chef came out, assured her they would re-make her dinner & insisted on taking it off her bill since she wouldn't be able to eat at the same time as us. He was friendly & welcoming, & really wanted to make things right for her. We really enjoyed our meal & would definitely recommend it. Best wishes to Chef/owner Tyler on his new place & welcome!

The space is smaller but very welcoming and definitely feels like a local hangout spot. When you walk in, the specials board is front and center, including their Burger of the Month, which is what I ordered. Mine featured goat cheese, spinach, strawberry compote, and jalapeños. The flavor combination was unique and really worked well together, and the burger itself was juicy. Personally, I would have loved a bit more char for those crispy edges, but the flavors were definitely there. It came with rosemary fries that were thin, crispy, and generously seasoned. I added a side of hot honey for dipping, which ended up being an unexpectedly amazing combo. The restaurant has a great beer selection, plenty of TVs for sports, fun retro-style décor, and soft lighting that creates a relaxed atmosphere. Even at 9 PM, there were families with kids dining, so it feels very family-friendly rather than a late-night bar scene. Noise levels were low enough that conversation was easy, which I really appreciated. Bathrooms were also exceptionally clean. My main hesitation was pricing. A quesadilla was around $15 and my burger was $20, which pushed dinner for one person with a drink and tip to about $35. While that seems comparable to nearby spots like Boston's, it felt a bit high for casual bar-style dining. Parking is limited, but the location is convenient, just minutes from I-75 and surrounded by other restaurants. Service was amazing. We were sad immediately and she checked back often and said what her favorite thing on the menu was. Overall, good food, creative menu options, and a comfortable atmosphere. With a little refinement and maybe slightly better value, this could easily become a regular stop.
