Two words...Beer Garden. Three more? Blues, brews, bliss…read more We moseyed into Shady's Tap Room in Brooklyn, Michigan over 4th of July weekend and found ourselves in what can only be described as the Midwest's version of honky-tonk heaven. Out back, the beer garden was in full glory--sun filtering through the trees, tables packed with happy people, and a blues-rock-country band tearing it up like they were in Nashville. The vibe? Think summer camp for grownups with craft beer and fewer rules. The soundtrack? Slide guitar, twangy vocals, and the occasional couple dancing in front of the stage. The drinks? Cold and local. The staff? Friendly! We came for a quick pint, stayed for the show, and left with significantly more joy than expected. Would I go back? Absolutely. Would I dance in front of strangers while holding a burger in one hand and a beer in the other? Um, no. But Shady's, you had me at Beer Garden.

By the time I got home (about 20 minutes later), the food was still warm and so delicious. The fries were golden brown, crispy, and honestly the best I've had in a while. For a "small" order, you get a ton--easily more than a large fry at McDonald's, and way better. The ranch deserves its own shoutout--it's the best ranch I've ever had! I would literally buy a bottle if they sold it. The breadsticks were warm, soft, and so tasty--and the portion was so generous! And the chicken gyro? Absolutely delicious. They load it up with plenty of chicken, and the cucumber sauce ties it all together perfectly. On top of all that, the workers here are always so kind. The food, portions, and service are all incredible--I'd recommend this place to anyone!

They were perfectly breaded and crispy. Made fresh to order so it did take a bit longer than your usual wing place but the wait was worth it. They were generous with the sauces in the wings.

Typically we have to force my little one to eat but with the shrimp he finished them before we finished eating which never happens. If you're looking for some good wings I def recommend stopping by.

They were quite busy however my order was ready and piping hot when they said it would be. These wings, y'all. They're naked (my favorite!) then covered in your choice from a nice sized list of sauce or seasoning. I ordered lemon pepper and Valley Gold. I don't usually sauce my wings, but the Valley Gold was a homerun! The fries were fresh, tasty and even better swiped through the Valley Gold! These are easily the best wings in Lansing. I normally reside much much farther south (here for school), yet I would confidently say these are some of the best wings I've ever eaten, hands down. Service was relatively quick and friendly (remember I used take out). No complaints at all. If you're gonna eat wings, don't go with a crappy chain or eat soggy wings, come here instead and support local!!!! I won't be going anywhere else for my wing fix as long as Valley is here! OH! And maps didn't tell me what side of the road they were on, so turn towards the strip building that houses a few other restaurants, and you'll be on the correct side.

The chicken was really dry across the board, and the breading was mushy instead of crispy. The sauces were pretty bland--I couldn't tell much of a difference between the orange chicken and the General Tso's.

I'm surprised by all the positive reviews, but unfortunately I won't be coming back.

Tried this over another popular spot based on reviews, but also price. We got a good sampling of…read morethe offerings including the St Louis style half rack of ribs, the smoked chicken wings, a 1/2 lb of beef brisket and a pulled chicken sandwich. In addition we got several side orders including the collard greens, mac and cheese, cole slaw and potato wedges. Everything was solid. The ribs were well seasoned with a dry rub but also if you wanted you could add the sauce which was tangy and sweet but not overwhelming to the meat. The smoked wings also have a dry rub (possibly the same as the ribs). They were perfectly cooked and both flavorful and moist. They also tasted great with the sauce. Pulled chicken sandwich was also very good. Lightly sauced, but you get extra so you can get as messy as you like. Again, good flavor on the sauce with a nice twang and kick but sweet without being too much. The wedges were my favorite side as they had a little spice to them. The mac and cheese was solid but nothing special. Collards were fine though I actually like them a little less cooked (flavor was good though). Slaw was the vinegar kind which was perfect. Overall, would order again. For the price and production, it was worth it.

Skip the chain wing spots and get yourself some Side Biscuit! People often say the 'hole in the…read morewall' is the best, and in this case, it's 100% true. Side Biscuit is literally just a small notch in the corner end of a building, but they're churning out big flavor and tasty wings! They always have a new flavor of the week and a special biscuit to match. The Driveway Plate gets you 6 wings, a biscuit, celery, carrots, and blue cheese dressing (don't you DARE ask for ranch or you'll end up on the wall of shame). The wings are perfectly cooked staying tender and moist inside with generous amount of sauce. There are several delicious flavors to choose from. The dudes working are chill, friendly, and bring real Buffalo, NY roots to A2. They're happy to answer questions and point you in a direction. Be prepared for a wait at prime times and you'll need to either eat outside (picnic tables and a few other tables & chairs) or get it to go, because there is no inside seating (or room to wait for your order either). But it's all worth it.
