A friend who lives in the area recommended this spot for dinner after I finished a shift working at CMU. We met up on a weekday around 5:30 and it was pretty empty so we were seated right away. The booth we sat in was comfy and spacious. The menu is pretty typical brewpub fare, with sandwiches, salads, pizzas, etc. We started with the Hunter's sticks, which are cheese stuffed breadsticks, served with ranch and marinara. These came out first and I liked that they were cut into pieces for easy sharing. The breadsticks were a bit harder than I might have preferred (I was hoping for something closer to a soft Bosco stick) but they were still tasty. The ranch was particularly delicious. For dinner I ordered the steakhouse salad, medium rare. Nate got the Cajun chicken club sandwich and our friend got a crispy chicken wrap. The sandwiches and wraps come with either chips or fries, and our server told us that there's no up charge for fries, which is nice and not that typical. This is also a brewery so Nate tried a couple of their beers and seemed to like them. They also have a full bar. The food was quite tasty! I liked the salad although it was pretty salty, probably the bleu cheese dressing. There was a generous amount of steak and it was cooked nicely. I had a couple bites of Nate's sandwich and I thought it had great flavor. Overall this is a nice neighborhood spot that I'd come back to, since their menu is pretty large and it seems like there's something for everyone. read more

Such bad service. Went with my family for brunch got here at 11 did not get food until 1:30. The place was empty and the Mannager Damion just stood around talking to the same table the entire time. read more

Horrible service & mediocre food. Will never return..... came home from FL and asked my family to meet for food and drinks. When we first arrived we received a friendly welcome. As the 10 of us completed our arrival, our waitress Anna, continued to become more and more negative/rude. We waited around 10-15 minutes for drink refills (alcohol, soda, lemonade, etc.) almost every time and that was even if we could get Anna's attention to ask for drinks. I approached the manager regarding this and he gave me the excuse they are busy. I mentioned Anna's poor attitude and was given the excuse, again, it's busy. The whole restaurant only had 7 other tables. Receiving our food order took 30+ minutes. I ordered the artichoke dip as an appetizer and the chips were stale. Anna took so long to return that the dip was cold, our food was finally being delivered, where I sent the plate back. She tried to charge me for the dip, and when I told her to take it off my tab, she said she had to ask her manager. Needless to say no one from our party will be returning. read more

The food is not that great. Bland. Not too bad, but would expect better for the cost. Service was good. Loved the ambience. Quiet, cozy, and clean. Not too bad! read more

My favorite spot to catch up with friends when i'm back in town! Miley is the best and always takes care of us!

I've been here so many times and I've never had a bad experience. The service is amazing. Julian is a bartender here and he's so attentive and creative with his drink suggestions. (I recommend asking for the trifecta if he's working). I can't recommend this place enough! read more

Been coming to this place since it was a piano bar. Food was phenomenal (ask for the burger off the "ghost menu"); and, if you can sit at the bar, hope you get Julian. Attentive, knowledgeable, and very entertaining bartender. Great experience! read more

Jessica was our bartender and she is a great person! She is very friendly and always serves us well! A great place to go and a fun place!

Great local spot to grab dinner and a drink. The gluten free pizza was great and my server Miley was very informed and careful with my allergy. The food was quick to come out and I will be going here again for a quick meal! read more

Relaxing go to place, Mylie is always friendly and smiling. Beer selection is growing!

An amazing local bar, and place to grab a drink. After work or before a night out for the good food and service. Our server Miley gave the best recommendation of coach's golden ale. highly recommend ! read more

Pizza is delicious. Service with a smile. Decor was very cool. Thursday was a quiet night with music on the patio. read more

Bartender, Julian, was phenomenal! Made our stay so fun. Tons of personality, friendly, funny, and made us some tasty (off menu) cocktails! read more

Popped in for a bite last night before a concert. The place was clean, the atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, our server was incredibly friendly. I ordered what was the best macaroni and cheese pizza I've ever had (swapped chicken for beef). It was a great experience. We will surely be back next time we are in town. read more

I love hunters and will change this review to 5 stars *if* they start using the same ranch as the cabin. Being under the same ownership, I feel that such a stark variance in ranch quality should not exist. Must haves on the menu: -Parmesan garlic fries with honey mustard mayo -*Hand tossed* pizza (vs thin crust) read more

The food was solid. I can't complain about that. However, this was the worst service I've ever experienced. Our server didn't greet us for about 10 minutes. I ordered cheese curds which she didn't write down so we didn't get. She then told us she would get them for us for free, but then returned saying she couldn't. She barely checked up on us, and after like 30 minutes after the food we were waiting for boxes and checks and I looked around and she was just sitting at a table on her phone. I'm usually very lenient to servers because it's not an easy job, but she wasn't busy she was just terrible at her job. If you come here I hope you don't get Shenanrose. read more

Service was really good but the food was not so amazing. The burgers were burnt almost and very dry. The fries were ok. The buns were not so great. Drinks were weak. read more

Hunter's Ale House - Mac n cheese - Sports Bars Near Me - Mount Pleasant, Michigan

I've been here a few times. It's an average place that I don't mind going back to when I'm in town. Service there is always great. The servers have been friendly and good at their jobs! I saw the kitchen staff from my seat last night. They weren't wearing hair nets. The girl's pony tail was long. Yuck. There is a good beer selection. They have decent happy hour drinks. Their fried pickles are spears and are delicious! French Onion soup is over priced and is just ok. It's not as savory as it should be. The Italian sub is pretty good and is plenty of food. The bread for it gets a little dry though and cut up the roof of my mouth. I've had their chicken tenders and those are just like and restaurant. Their smashed potatoes are literally a potato that is just smashed down. Not much else to say. Just an average restaurant with great staff and a good beer selection. read more

This is the second time I've been to Hunters Ale House and every time I am entertained by the electic/ industrial feel of the restaurant. They had an awesome band there on a Friday night and the place was packed! Due to the busy Friday night the bathrooms were lacking cleanliness and the hand paper towel was all out. I was disappointed with my French dip sandwich. The meat was almost comparable to the consistency of ground beef because they had grilled the meat before putting it on the sandwich and left it on the grill for a little bit too long. Crunchy roast beef? Weird if you ask me. The bun it was on was kind of a very fluffy white bread it was unusual for the sandwich. Overall, the atmosphere was lively and fun but the food was just "ehh". I would stop again to grab a drink and enjoy the entertainment. read more

beer selection and atmosphere are decent. Service and food not so much. Prime dip: supposed to come with Swiss cheese and onions, but was literally just dried out meat on a toasted hoagie roll. Fries were cold, but coleslaw was good. Mussels - less than impressive and hardly any broth. Came with a side of Mac and cheese that tasted like straight sour cream. Cool ranch pizza: bad flavor combination and slightly overdone Waitress took 15 minutes to come check on us after delivering our food and made it known when her shift was over by requesting we cash out (before we were done eating) Maybe it was a bad night but not worth the risk, definitely not worth the $$ read more

Selected the place thanks to Yelp and not trying it before. Showed up at 8:45 get told that they are on pizza only for food. When asked about the restriction to pizza (as I did not see it on the menu). The waitress said "...all nights... 10pm except Sundays when it is 9pm..." Follow that with four answers of "we are out of that" in one variant or another on the drink menu, I opted to call it and go elsewhere for dinner. read more

I love coming to hunters wether it's for trivia, dinner, or drinks. It's always a great time with nice staff and good food. I do wish the food wasn't as pricey as it is but it's worth it! read more

Server was super nice but the salad was literally lettuce and 3 rings of red onion. Not even the fries were vegan friendly. Update: they tried to charge $10 for lettuce and red onions. Bull read more

Great food and service . Food was delivered promptly and hot. Entire staff were wonderful .

Ordered crispy chicken wrap. It was more like a salad with the lettuce. Very little chicken. The fries were nothing special. Just fries. Wife ordered BBQ chicken pizza which was good. We were kind of forgotten once we were seated. Wasn't a big deal. Not a place I would say I need to go back too. If I did I would just get pizza. read more

We greatly enjoyed their Black Stallion imperial stout and the Hell of a Day IPA (since I'm a sucker for Centennial hops). For me, the South of Seattle IPA in no way resembled an American IPA in mouthfeel or flavor given the British yeast, but it was still good. I don't think I can drink more than one, though. Now let's be completely honest: We'll come back for the beers for sure. In just a year of production their beers are significantly better than Mountain Town's. This tiny college town needs a respectable brewery; let's hope Hunter's can be it. So, I can't not mention the basic spelling errors on their menus that any beer person should know. Their version of centennial hops (a very common hop) was "centineial" - how does this make it onto a menu? Furthermore, Bud Light was spelled as Budlight, and on the chalkboard, Founders somehow became Founder's. Come on guys, this isn't difficult. Another issue is that Black Stallion, while very good, was said to have won a "US Beer Open Gold Medal." This is a half truth. It did win the US Open Beer Championship (note the correct name this time) -- but in the colleges and universities category. Not mentioning on the menu that it was created by students and professors at CMU is a disservice to them and makes it seem like they won a medal over major breweries, which is untrue. Hunter's, fix your menus. read more

Good beer and appetizers. The pizza is average. Lots of seating and TVs. One of the better places in My. Pleasant.

We have been coming to Hunters Ale House since it opened. Love the decor and the happy atmosphere. Hostess's are charming and so are the waiters. Food is exceptional! Great place to bring your family and some friends for a great dinner or a casual night out. Highly recommend this place! read more

I was blown away by the quality of the Alfredo recipe. Never have I had such a good Alfredo at a restaurant. Great prices, amazing food, and a pleasant atmosphere. I highly recommend checking out Hunter's. read more

I don't typically do reviews but felt compelled to speak out based on the low overall rating here. I've tried a few things on the menu and several of their beers over 4 visits and I have had great experiences all the way around. Kind and attentive wait staff also. They have a chicken pizza with a creamy garlic sauce that's amazing. read more

Where do I begin? Weeks of planning for a 21st birthday party. Called multiple times to ask if they take reservations. Said "no need, you'll be fine, we wont be busy." Walk in at the time we discussed on the phone to be told there was "absolutely no room." The hostess continued the rest of the conversation by continually raising her voice. We asked to sit at the bar and split up the group, "no room." We asked to put our name on the waitlist and she responded with "there is no room." After waiting for her to start calming down, she did end up putting us on the list, even though there was "no room." What I thought was the end turned out to not be, as she raised her voice again to tell us the exact same thing she said before "no room." We had to remove ourselves from the situation as clearly this poor woman was overworked and couldn't handle the stress of the "you'll be fine, we won't be busy" time. read more

Read the other reviews...don't know what they're talking about. Small menu, but don't let it scare you...order a pizza... And freaking enjoy. Group of four, four different pizzas...heaven. Excellent crust, excellent toppings, awesome beer selection. Waitress was attentive and super cool. Come here already. Can't say enough about the pizza, seriously. read more

Been here a few times to give this place a chance but so far, they have failed. Here's why: - First time ordered the tacos, which came with fries, and there was only about 5-6 fries on the plate! Even less than a small McDonald's fries portion! They should at least add more fries. -ordered the pizza and it was good. The next time I ordered the same pizza because the first pizza was good, and there was a big difference in the quality. Less cheese, they skimped on the toppings. Very inconsistent - the beer was absolutely flat. Was disgusting. I won't be coming back here. I gave this places few chances and they failed. I'll spend my money elsewhere read more

If I could give this location 0 stars I would. The service is absoutley awful. Our waiter had only one table (us) and we sat waiting for our food (two wraps) and service for over an hour and a half. The food was ok. The waitstaff was in the middle of a fight during our visit and we heard most of what was going on including swear words and clear actions by the waitstaff that interfered with our service. This is very unprofessional and I will not be returning. We sat and waited for our check while our server was no where to be found for 30 minutes. And our server had no decency to ask if we need boxes and didn't bother to ask how our food was during our visit. Just ridclous. We had to go to the lengths of asking another server for our check. Just bad service and ok food for a pricy check is not okay. read more

Absolutely amazing atmosphere, food, adult beverages, and service. The fried pickles gave me life! Please ask for Doug or Ally, they are simply perfect and amazing. They deeply care about their customers. I definitely recommend HuntersAle House!! read more

Ask for Doug. One of the nicest and most courteous individuals I have met; truly made the experience memorable. Overall, Hunter's Ale House has an excellent staff, ludicrously delightful food, and a violently delightful adult beverage selection. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

Honestly, I wish that I could rate this place better. The food isn't all that great (No matter what the menu item) and it's weirdly over priced. The service tends to be pretty slow. And if you're looking for a party spot, let's face it, it's CMU. You can find WAY better. Bottom line, they've got a lot of different beers and a bar staff that's passable, so two stars. Honestly though, if you want a good beer, you could pay a little LESS and get something at Mountain Town that's probably better quality. (If you're the beer snob type.) read more

Karaoke is garbage, they only let regulars sing and cross everyone else off... the karaoke guy is super rude and a douche. I would give less than 1 star if I could. The waiter was nice but karaoke guy ruined our entire night.. ugh loser. read more
