Allendale is a bit of a blind spot for me when it comes to restaurants since I don't really make it…read moreto that part of town very often, but Mug Shots has been on my list for awhile so I was excited to stop in for dinner after a GV women's soccer game. The space is kind of smaller but we were able to sit right away. The theme of the place is kind of quirky - there are celebrity mug shots on the walls with descriptions of their crimes, as well as a "jail" photo op. Most of the menu items have jail/prison themed names too. It's definitely unique! I'd heard great things about the burgers so I knew I had to try one. They have nine different specialty burgers that come with two quarter pound patties, or you can substitute fried or grilled chicken for no charge. I got the Reveille (one egg cooked to order, bacon, and cheddar), and Nate got the Brushy Mountain with marinated chicken (you can also get it with fried chicken). Crinkle fries are standard, or you can get waffle fries or sweet potato fries for an up charge. Our food took a little bit of time to come out, but we enjoyed watching the MSU women's soccer game on the big TVs while we waited. The food was worth the wait, because it was super hot and fresh, and the burger was delicious. The patties were juicy and perfectly seasoned, the bacon was crispy, and the egg was cooked just like I wanted (over hard). It was a little greasy but I enjoy a greasy burger every once in awhile. I had a bite of the Brushy Mountain, which was also very good. The chicken was a little small but the flavors were great and the chicken wasn't overcooked. I'm so happy to have checked this place off my list, and will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area. If you like a juicy burger, you have to visit this place!

The space inside is surprisingly huge, making it nice for larger groups. It was busy but not super packed when we were there on a Friday evening. The offerings are your typical dive bar selections and they did have a few craft options on tap. I was super hungry so we got some food - chicken tenders with fries for me, and an olive burger for Nate. The chicken tenders were hot and pretty tasty, and I loved the fries. I had a couple bites of the olive burger and was impressed - not too greasy, a thicker patty, and plenty of olives on a kaiser roll. Definitely a solid bar burger. I have to give a shoutout to our server with shoulder length blonde hair (I should have gotten her name) - she was incredible. Hustling the entire time, friendly and polite, while never forgetting any drinks, and keeping up with our group as we moved from a booth to a table. Overall this is a nice neighborhood dive bar and I felt comfortable and welcome there. I don't live nearby but if I did, this would be a regular spot.

The online ordering wasn't working the night we were there, so I sent Nate outside to order for us. They give you a beeper so you know when to go back outside to pick up your food - helpful for the snowy November night! The menu consists of smash burgers, an Impossible burger, fries, pretzel bites, and chicken nuggets. I got a double Original Lost Art, and Nate got the Frankenstein, which is a double burger with one beef patty and a ground kielbasa patty. We also got a side of fries to share. Our food was done pretty quickly and the burgers were big! I liked that they wrap them up a bit so it's easier to eat. Mine was pretty messy and the buns did end up sliding all over, so be sure to get some extra napkins. The patties were thin, seasoned well, and super tasty. I absolutely loved the fries. They were super hot and fresh, with lots of salt. The star for me was the Frankenstein burger, though. The addition of the ground kielbasa patty is just next-level. If you like sausage, you have to try this. Super delicious and I hope to see Lost Art Burger around town more often, otherwise I'll be back to Lost Art Brewhouse for more tasty food soon.

I…read moredon't get to Allendale very often (maybe twice a year) so when I was heading to Grand Valley's campus for an event recently, I made sure to allow extra time to stop by. The parking lot in front is pretty small, and there is only one access point, so if you go past it, you'll have to turn around near the apartments behind it. Don't drive on the sidewalk... I didn't, mostly because there is a sign that says, "This is a sidewalk" which made me laugh. (Truly that should be an entrance into the parking lot!) The space is very bright and airy with cute decor and space to get some work or studying done. I was greeted right away when I walked in and I had a tough time deciding what to order. I wasn't hungry, but I love that they have a full on food menu - including salads, burgers(!!!), bagels, toasts, paninis, pastries, etc. Plus all the regular coffee items, boba, smoothies, and teas. I went with one of the seasonal specials, the banana bread matcha. It didn't take too long to come out and it was very tasty - not really what I was expecting, but I liked it. It reminded me of a very green banana (which is how I prefer bananas), it wasn't super sweet but also not super matcha-y. They are expanding their space, so I am interested in coming back to see what that looks like and to order more delicious drinks and try the food!

There was singing and dancing - all in good fun, with a light crowd near closing time. I really like everything about this place, from the decor to the beer to the staff interaction. The brews were good & they have some unique offerings. These guys even recommended our next food stop, which I love seeing businesses support each other with referrals. The only hiccup was that the manager closed out our tab & added the customary "you didn't close out" 20% tip while we were still there, as the manager thought we'd left. We found out when we went to close out, that we had already been closed. This actually shorted the barkeep as we definitely would have tipped higher given that we had half off with our Hop Passports... If you have time & you're in the area, head on in & soak it all in while you try out the menu - don't be afraid to get creative!
