Stopped here for dinner on my way back from fishing the Pere Marquette. Ordered an "Original Weißbier," and liked it very much--nice body with just the right level of fruitiness. Got the Pub Pulled Pork sandwich with it, and this also was a winner. Nicely smoked piggy with a creamy sauce, enough to be satisfying but not too big to eat with your hands, as I've run into a some BBQ outfits. That's actually not doing the customer a favor! I appreciated having some non-stachy side options and chose the red cabbage for mine. It was warm, tender-crisp with just a slight lemony tang. Seating is mostly picnic table style--you may well share yours with another party, but not to worry. This is a place likely to dispel any bad mood someone might have walked in with. read more

I've really come to enjoy this place! Their beers are awesome with some very good German style options. My favorite is the Original Weissbier! I've tried lots of their food- their brisket is delicious, the Jager Schnitzel is rich and tasty, and my current go-to is their picnic brats. The ambiance is great. Typical beer hall style, order and the counter and grab a beer and they'll bring your food out to you. The Biergarten is a nice option too when I ride my bike here. Great place! read more

Fun, casual place to go to when you want to excellent beer and food! If you're not a beer drinker, they have other options. It's kid-friendly and everyone in there was super nice. It's my new favorite spot to go to! The original weissbeir is so good that I got a growler to go. Will definitely be back! read more

The food was great! Service was prompt and with a smile. Loved the look of the place and the outdoor beer garden.

Lovely brewery with a great menu and fun atmosphere. We had the giant pretzel, sangria, strawberry refresher, and the jagerschnitzel all were amazing! They have counter service at the bar but food and drinks came out quick especially for a Saturday night. Lots of locals and regulars so you know it's a great spot. Definitely worth checking out for some good beer and German food! read more

Don't make it up this way often but took the kids to deer tracks junction and then made a point to grab lunch afterwords. This place is definitely worth it if you're traveling around or through. German themed but fun and light atmosphere right in the heart of downtown with lots of open seating inside and outside. Walk up ordering is fast and convenient. The menu was tough because of lots of tasty options but the surprise was our blood Mary drinks... yum! So refreshing and absolutely loved their in house mix- we get bloodys nearly everywhere we go so if I call it out , you know it's especially good. But the food didn't disappoint either! Appetizers and entrees were super tasty and delicious and we found out our boys like pretzels. Definitely would recommend you check this place out. read more

Biiiiig fan of the jägerschnitzel!! The chicken bacon melt wasn't my favorite, nor was the pretzel, but i order the flannel fries and brussel sprouts every time! Ordering at the counter and having the large picnic style tables makes it the perfect place for large groups! read more

Food was delicious! I got the Pub Pulled Pork with the German Potato Salad--10/10 for both. The German Potato Salad reminded me of pot roast potatoes, which I loved. My friend ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wrap and rated it an 8/10; she felt the ingredient ratio was a bit off, with too much chicken and not enough of the other components. We also shared the Chicken & Apple Spring Rolls, which were an easy 10/10--absolutely delicious. Service was great and very friendly. When you arrive, you seat yourself and then order food and drinks at the bar. Our food came out quickly, which was a plus. read more

Love this place! The staff are always friendly and attentive. Their beers are great and their pretzel is second to none and is an absolute must order! Tonight I went with the Munich Dunkel and fried chicken. The chicken is amazing and incredibly hot! I always forget and burn my mouth. Dinner was great and I can't wait until I am back in town again. read more

Very pleased. Had a party of 6 over holiday weekend and CSBC was open with seating able to accommodate large groups. Full menu and bar for a variety of preferences. Order at the counter and the servers will bring your meal and drinks to table once seated. Comfortable atmosphere. Sandwiches are fantastic. The fish and frites arrived at our table hot and crispy. Get the CSIPA draft beer, so good! Enjoy Cedar Springs! Grab a table or bar stool early though because they are popular and do get busy. read more

I just love Cedar Springs Brewing Company. We have been coming here occasionally for years. We live in Muskegon and will make the trek out from time to time. I had their drink special tonight. It was a vodka based drink and it was DELICIOUS! And it had edible glitter in it. We started with a pretzel and the apple chicken spring rolls. Both phenomenal. Loved the sweetness of the spring roll in the crunchy shell with the spiciness of the dipping sauce. Great flavor combos and textures and served piping hot. The pretzel comes with the most yummy butter and mustard. It is huge! Love the chewiness of the pretzel and it has the perfect amount of salt on it. I had the fried chicken and it came with fries and cole slaw. The fries were perfection. Crispy and salty, just how I like it. The Cole slaw was just okay to be. I am more of a Lees Famous Recipe Cole slaw kind of gal. The fried chicken came out hot and crispy. The chicken was also very juicy. I will say, the chicken could have used a little more seasoning/salt. We had very flavorful starters and the chicken needed a little salt added to it. We ordered at the bar and the woman who took our order and grabbed our drinks had a smile the entire time. Was patient and kind as well. She was quick to get our drinks for us. The other staff were working very hard (a parade was going on the entire time we were there and it was CROWDED). The inside of CSB is awesome. The main dining room like an actual Stammtisch. We sat in a side room that was a little quieter and less chaotic, but I love the art on the walls that are super old and shipped over from Europe. All in all, great experience like always. Highly recommend. Wish I had a beer this trip, but next time I will. read more

For West Michigan the food is an excellent version of German food. The schnitzel was incredible- perfectly cooked and crispy. I would say the portion sizes are obnoxiously large and two adults could easily share one meal. Drinks were pretty standard but not overpriced. The place is hella loud so if you want to really talk to the people you came with you may want to sit in each others laps. The only thing that irked me was the "no waitstaff approach"- order and pay at a counter, wait for drinks, then a person brings your food...and they still ask for a tip on the screen. If I'm standing I'm not tipping. I would love to have a normal server and not have to stand around and wait. read more

We decided to come here for our birthday weekend for a Sunday brunch and Irish music complements of St. Patty's Day. The menu was a special menu of Irish specials. I got the poutine, my husband got the fried perch basket, and the youngest got some chicken strips and fries. Everything was really good except my poutine. I wasn't able to eat very much of it as the salt gravy.... I mean gravy was so unbelievably salty. I mean it might have shut down my kidneys. I could've sat here and licked a block of salt and been just as well off. I mean. It was bad. I ate the egg off the top and a few of the curds with a few fries and I was done. Well it was just as well. We were there for the music and like I said, it's a special menu so chances are you won't be able to order it again for a year. Hopefully the recipe will be worked out by then. The perch basket and chicken tenders were obviously on point as my husband and kid cleaned their plates. The music for the holiday was also on point. There was no table service, I'm not sure if that's normal, but all in all I would try them again. Food freshness gains 3 stars as it was all likely prepackaged and deep fried. Quality 3 stars giving credit for the perch and chicken tenders (Poutine only would be 1 star), service 2 because it was friendly at the bar but nothing table side, cleanliness 4 stars cutting major slack as there was not an empty seat in the house, ambiance 5 stars for the loud Irish music that gave me a headache for the day (worth it), and the whole crowd that came today made it all a pretty epic time. That's 3 of 5 stars, some definite room for improvement but nothing that I wouldn't try again. read more

The place is unique in the seating but it affords you the opportunity to chat with other folks, if you so desire. The staff were friendly and quick to help. The bar tenders were friendly and served you quickly especially as busy as they were. The atmosphere is fun and worldly. It was loud enough to drown out your private conversations but not too loud you couldn't hear people in your group. The food was really good and was worth the wait. The pub pulled pork was amazing. The meat was tender and very juicy. I would highly recommend. Definitely will be a stop again when we are in the area. read more

I've heard allll the good things about Cedar Springs Brewing Company, but, living in Jenison, have never had a reason to venture out that far. So, when I was at my mom's house the other day and she asked if I wanted to go, I couldn't pass up the opportunity! We were surprised by how busy it was on a Thursday night! We didn't have any issue finding a table, but it was poppin! There was also live music in the Biergarten- we were there to talk and catch up, so we opted to sit inside, but otherwise the live music looked fun! I got the Outdoorsmen to drink which was a pale ale, and my mom got a pomegranate lemonade. I felt like I was doing myself a disservice by not getting a German style beer, but I was in the mood for something a little more crushable. I know it probably seems like a faux pas to not get German food or a German beer while at a German themed brewery but listen.... a girl's gotta listen to her cravings, okay? I wanted something relatively light (but like... not salad-light lol) so I got a black bean wrap. I was unreasonably excited that it came sausage shaped, and I got to feel like I was still participating in the theme My mom got the Cedar melt. Also, as a side note, their chips? Absolutely delicious. I don't know what the difference was, but I was getting hints of Worcestershire sauce?? Who knows, it's a mystery, but it was delicious! We were a little surprised they didn't have table service- everything was ordered at the counter, and then if you ordered food, you took a number and they walked it out to you. It wasn't really an inconvenience, just not what we were expecting! My next mission is to go to their Grand Rapids location! read more

Visited on a Saturday for their annual Winterfest ... wow very busy ... I do miss the days when they had servers at the table , the lines for drinks and food can get long , I suggest ordering drinks 2 at a time . The oyster bar is a nice touch for Winterfest only set up outside in the beer garden near the band . The oysters were high quality with several choices and they were flying out of there . Burger was good but beer cheese with kase was ice cold due to the wait . The Bloody Mary was top notch , as was the Eire Stout . Spirits are a nice addition for those non beer folks read more

We ordered food for our Oktoberfest party. Steven was very accommodating and the food was delicious! Highly recommend!

I have stopped in twice and both times I have been impressed by the food and beer. The service was good each time and I love the German theme. I really enjoy this brewery and the next time I head west to Grand Rapids I will make sure to stop at Cedar Springs. read more

Ate here today and I wasn't a fan of the self-serve system they have going here. They don't have any waiters or waitresses anymore. You place your order at the bar and have to keep going back if you need anything or another drink. The food was decent. read more

This place isn't like it used to be. The chicken dinner used to be amazing with Brussels. Now the Fries were cold, the coleslaw was warm. We also got a fish meal and the tartar sauce was expired. Not a friendly staff at all. This is my last time eating here. read more

Cedar Springs brewing is amazing. The food is incredible. I love that it's different and I can have German food. What a great experience. The service is always phenomenal.

Food is good. Service is good. Ambiance is good too. Prices are very affordable. They have music often and that's very nice.

The atmosphere here is a mix of industrial and German bar. It works, very warm and welcoming. Both the person I was with and I both ordered from the German menu and both got the Mix Grill Teller. A Pork Cutlet, a sausage, and chef's choice along with potatoes and sauerkraut. Today's chef choice was chicken wings. Both of us got potato salad instead of sauerkraut. Everything was excellent with unique spices and everything was very tender! The taste was excellent! Honestly I didn't love the potato salad, but the person I was with loved it! At $13 it was a good value. I also ordered a Bavarian Pretzel. It was good, but nothing special. Not worth $12.50, and it needs a better sauce to go with it. They make their own sodas based on German recipes and they are fantastic. The service was not there, because of staff shortages! You had to go to counter to order and whenever you needed a refill. Overall I'm giving 4 stars, but maybe 4 1/2! Would I return? Heck yes, I would. Excellent food and amazing soda! read more

I am not sure how many places in greater GR offer authentic German menus, but this is one of them. Based on the descriptions and what we saw on the plates of other diners, that grub is delicious, fresh, and all of it appeared to be deep fried! That said, we ordered regular bar food- it was lunch time when we visited & were pretty sure that robust Schnitzel etc would've put us in Thanksgiving dinner nap mode. We had to drive back to GR. However, I ordered fried chicken because I am a junkie. It's not breaded like KFC, dusted lightly with slight spices that don't overpower the chicken. Cooked perfectly, tender. The cheddar melt comes in 2 planks of soft bread and given the freshness of the thick patty I bet that beef never saw the inside of a freezer. The fires are chunky. We are shoe string fry people, but these had a good crust and smooth interiors. There's beer. Küsterer Original Weißbier is a great lunch time beer, air & fresh. My wife is not a fan of fermented beverages, but really enjoyed the Apfelwein cider as it was naturally sweet and not chemically. Orders are taken at the bar, and don't be bashful about the German items. The friendly staff understands what you mean and can offer recommendations based on what you usually like. It's not a large restaurant, but high ceilings give it some space, and the kitschy decorations give it a German grandma's house feel. read more

We visited this afternoon for a late lunch and easily got a spot outside which was perfect. My husband just raved about his picnic brats with Brussels sprouts on the side and I had to sneak some bites - they were incredible! My son got the pretzel with beer cheese which he didn't really care for- my husband and I tried it and agreed, it was not our favorite. The pretzel was amazing though, and he loved the herbed butter to dip it in. I got the pork sandwich with apple slaw and a side of warm German potato salad - very good! My root beer was delicious and my husband enjoyed both the beers he tried. We'll definitely return for dinner sometime! read more

What a lovely surprise to find a place full of great German style beers and German food! We stopped on a whim on a long trip downstate. Thought it was just a simple brewery, not a whole lot else in the surrounding area. But once we arrived, wow! A cool modern building, right downtown, with an outdoor Biergarten in the back. All kinds of German style beers to choose from too, as well as food, like giant soft pretzels and schnitzels. Live music in the Biergarten was the icing on the cake. The flight of beers we had were good, not outstanding, but still good. Loved the giant pretzel, delicious. The Greek souvlaki (pork shish kabob) was a surprise, excellent! Would order that again in a heartbeat. The sloppy fries, not so much. They were alright, but nothing special compared to the pretzel and souvlaki. Service was excellent and vibe was welcoming with a community feel. Can't wait to go back and try more beer and the schnitzel. read more

Delicious German beers (I loved the Küsterer Original Weißbier) and food in a fun Bavarian hall setting!

SERVICE: 5 FOOD QUALITY: 4 DRINK QUALITY: 5 ORDER TIME: 5 AESTHETICS: 5 NOISE LEVEL: 5 MENU SELECTION: 5 OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 4.85 My first experience was a friend telling me how amazing this place was, and being a must go. It's a little far considering it's in Cedar Springs, but definitely worth your travels if you're feeling hungry. The parking was simple, and the building is large and can't be missed. It's Bavarian roots provide a warm environment inside that is remarkably decorated with flags, colors of red and white, large wooden tables, and high ceilings. We sat at the bar and ordered from both menus. They have a Bavarian menu and a American menu. From the Bavarian side we ordered the pretzel which is definitely enough for 2-4 people. I recommend getting it with the cheese. From the American menu I ordered the grilled chicken patty melt. It was good. I downrated the sandwich because it was chopped chicken and the roll was cold but I prefer warm rolls. The roll was very soft and the seasoning on the melt was delicious. For drinks I ordered the schwarzbier which was very thick and had strong hints of chocolate. Everything was amazing. If you like dark beer then go no further because this place will be your go to. My only thoughts on the matter is I wish it was closer to Grand Rapids. The overall experience was wonderful, and would recommend this place to anyone who is willing to drive. I've never been to Austria or Germany but I can imagine that this has a very comparative feeling. read more
