I've been there twice now…read more First night (Saturday) there was very loud, derogatory rap music playing. Families with kids eat there, they should not have to hear stuff like that. It was very hard to communicate with the server due to the noise. The actual menu is a lot smaller then what is shown on their website. Especially fish options. I had grouper tenders which were small and mostly breading. Not worth it. Fries were excellent. Tartar sauce appeared to be pure mayo, no sign of relish or lemon at all. Ketchup, mustard, and salt were the only condiments on the table, not sure if anything else was available, like cider vinegar or even pepper. It's a pub, you would think all that stuff to be automatic. Second night (9 pm Sunday) I tried to go elsewhere because of my previous night's experience, but not many other options. Most of Alma was already closed. Tonight there was no music playing, so I was able to have a conversation. I had the olive burger with steak fries, my son had boneless wings with Thai sauce and waffle fries. Everything was very good, and a good value for the money. I guess I need a third night to be a tie-breaker.

I ordered their Olive Burger and asked them to toast the bun. I added cheese, lettuce, and mayo too. Let me tell you--this burger was amazing. I've eaten burgers in lots of places, even at Szot's before. But today's burger? It was the best one yet. The bun was warm and crispy, the toppings were fresh, and the olives gave it a tasty kick. I liked it so much, I stopped talking just to enjoy it. If this burger was running for mayor of Big Rapids, I'd vote for it twice!

Delicious. Like a four napkin burger haha. It isn't overly large, although a 12 ounce option is available. It's just bar grilled goodness with shredded lettuce and packed with flavor. The inside reminds me of The Bird in Mt. Pleasant. The waitress was great, refilled drinks without asking and it was busy but not packed around 3 on a weekday. Also had sweet potato fries and they were perfect darker orange but not burned. Lunch for two was $30 for 2 burgers and soda.

Breakfast Experience…read more I want to start this review with noting that our waitress was great. She brought us our drinks promptly, made sure we had refills if we needed. And was very kind. However, our food, no matter how large the portion was, was not very good. The egg of the omelette was brown in spots and too crunchy for my tastes. The ham pieces were good, the sautéed onions were great. But where on earth is all the cheese?! No cheese on top, and all the cheese was towards the folded portion inside the omelette. Now, I know we asked for modifications from American cheese to cheddar, and we asked for hash browns to be added to our omelette, but the taste just wasn't it. Also, the salt and pepper shakers were icky to the touch. And then we got our bill, and we were astonished to see how much two omelettes, a coffee, and two waters with lemon were. I've had wayyyy better omelettes for a lot less (see my other reviews). Might be a fun place to hang out with friends and have a drink, but definitely not a good breakfast spot.

I enjoyed that they had a AMI Jukebox so I played a few songs. While we drank and the hour got closer to 5pm the tavern started to fill up with locals getting out of work. Next thing I knew there were people everywhere. Hugging, laughing and chatting away. We didn't stayuch longer but I hear the burgers are amazing so we will definitely be back So I can get one of those.
