Service was great, loved sitting outside and appreciated that there was shade out there. All the beers were delicious and the food even better. We loved the cheese curds, definitely some of the best in west MI (and we've had a LOT). I got the Baja Rice Bowl, it was amazing and a huge meal portion! My fiancée got the Railtown burger which was also great, the bun stood out in particular. Everything was very fresh. We will definitely be back! read more

we waited 20 minutes to be seated which was ok. After being seated it was a good hour before we got our food. Our waitress only checked on us once during the hour we were waiting to get our food. We had only 3 people in party. The food was very good when we finally got it. We probably won't return, when you go out for dinner I don't think you should have to wait an hour! read more

We come to Railtown pretty often. They have great beer and hard seltzers. The food is always good. Service is usually pretty fast and always friendly. I tried one of their salads for a change. It was called Root Awakening - fresh greens tossed with carrot ginger dressing. It was topped with goat cheese, pickled beets, radish, and roasted pistachios. I added grilled chicken. It was the perfect portion and tons of chicken. I would definitely order it again. The Nashville Hot sandwich is always good. Not too spicy but plenty messy. I love coming here! Highly recommend their beer and food. read more

Not sure I could have chosen a better menu option but their olive burger with pimentos that I chose to have them "make flaming" for a small upcharge was THE way to go. Holy crap thing was delicious I ended up removing the top but because I enjoyed the flavor of the actual food was also the way to go. Listen. You gotta go if you like olive burgers and do this. The building itself is very nice and modern with upstairs and patio seating available. There is plenty of seating around the bar itself as well. Service was also attentive, friendly, and helpful when looking for a certain beer. I went with their "Pitter Paddy" Irish Red which a very good, mild red. I ended my experience with a double IPA called the "Citra Warrior". If you don't like bitter and/or hops, do NOT get it. I happen to prefer the two and really liked this beer. Small bit of sweetness from the honey but overall, very good. read more

Food is fantastic, especially the burgers! Beer selection is great with lots of different options. Staff is awesome and provides great service. Love the dining experience and when it's nice, they have the garage doors open to let some outside fresh air in! read more

My husband and I ate here tonight and have been here a few times before, whe. The host (a young man) went to seat us at a small table right next to the kitchen door I looked at another table further away and asked if we could sit there instead because of it being so close tot he very busy kitchen door, he said no can't. Server rotation. I think that if a customer asked to not be seated somewhere in a high traffic area and there is clearly another open table next time the correct answer would be sure and then go explain it to the servers. Not sure we will visit you again Railtown. read more

My wife and I were in the area running and errand and wanted to stop to check out their happy hour (which is also later at night which we loved!). The evening happy hour is a great deal! Railtown's food is sorta everything you want from a Midwestern brewery. Flavorful, comforting, big portions. I also tried one of their ciders and loved it! Would definitely recommend stopping by to check out their food and brews. The service was kind and pretty quick. The vibes are your typical brewery. Plenty of space to meet with a bigger group of friends if that's what you're looking for. read more

My mother and I stopped here for dinner one day because it was on our list of places to try and we definitely didn't regret it. We generally like to order a couple appetizers and split them, which is what we chose to do here and we could not believe the amount of food that they brought to the bar. Tina, the lama Dilla was the biggest quesadilla I think I have ever seen and it was so delicious, especially with the avocado and the chipotle aïoli. We also ordered the dip flight thinking it would just be a small appetizer and it literally could've been a whole meal. Four different amazing dips, along with fresh tortilla chips and the most wonderful warm breaded pretzel braid that was to die for. We cannot wait to go back and try some of the other offerings on the menu. read more

I don't get to Dutton much (or ever), but Nate and I met his parents at Railtown Brewing Company recently and I enjoyed this first visit. I noticed a large patio that would be great for warmer months! The inside is very typical brewpub with polished concrete floors and dark wood accents. It wasn't too busy and we were seated right away. The food menu is pretty large and includes burgers, tacos, bowls, lots of starters, sandwiches, burritos, desserts, and salads. I got a half order of the pig pen nachos, and Nate got the buffalo chicken salad. I also ordered the "Decker Reported" (if you know, you know #GoLions) which is a blue seltzer drink. Our food came out super fast. The half order of nachos was still a big portion and Nate and I definitely could have shared it between the two of us. The big pile of chips was covered in cheese, chorizo, pork, bacon, pico de gallo, pickled jalapenos, and chipotle ranch. Topping distribution was great and the chips were crisp. I really liked the spicy chorizo! Nate's buffalo chicken salad was reported to be quite spicy! We weren't really expecting that. He liked it, but be aware if you're spice-adverse. I'm glad we had a chance to check out Railtown and would stop in again if I was nearby. read more

Food was delicious but service wasn't the greatest and did have a long wait. But I would go again.

Nice place to grab a drink-- menu is expansive and they have a variety of beers. It was also baby friendly so that was great!

Service was standard and decently quick. There's tables upstairs and downstairs. The mushroom burger was so tasty! Only downside was that the burger and tots were at room temp once served... would've enjoyed it warmer. read more

Went there on a Saturday afternoon to watch the Masters. Had their IPA which was good. The food that was coming out looked good and I had the smash burger that is dipped in cheese and has cheese curds on it. Hard to eat but very good and something you don't ever see. Place had a nice atmosphere and staff was nice and very helpful. Stop if you are in area read more

smash burgers were dry please go back to regular burgers service was great hence 3 stars at about 6:00 they suddenly closed due to technical issues??? read more

We went to Railtown in Dutton and both ordered the " best cluckin' chicken burrito". It was full of white rice and black beans and hardly any chicken. It was the worse burrito we've ever had! They should take a lesson on how to make a good burrito from Tres Amigos. read more

The menu is full of delicious food and drink. Their main courses and sides are fantastic. The food and drinks come fast and the front of the house staff have always been kind. Coming here is a norm. read more

I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich without avocado and chose tater tots as my side. The sandwich was excellent and quite messy, but that was fine since I had a fork and knife. The tater tots were crispy and plain--just your typical fried tots, nothing extraordinary. The bathroom was clean, equipped only with an air blower, but it had a foot pedal on the door to open it. Everyone there was friendly, there was ample parking, and a charming little patio where you could sit outside if the weather was warmer. read more

Been here once - Nothing special but good. Service was also good! Might go back again

The food menu is varied and has lots of tempting options. They have a happy hour includes drink option for $9 so we went for that this time. Pimento cheese was delicious. I would have liked the bread toasted, maybe I can ask for that next time, probably isn't traditional. My Husband had the burger said it was good. I would like to try the build your own Mac and cheese. Prices in general seem lower than some other places. We sat outside and the street noise is pretty constant. Could be the time of the day. The tots and the fries were nothing special I am guessing they might focus specialization in other areas. Service was fine. read more

Our food was delicious, but, we were there at 5pm on a Monday(our first time), and customers had to REQUEST that their tables be wiped off before they sat at them!!! There were crumbs all over the floor too!! Not sure if we will be back!!! read more

Been here a few times and finally writing a review. Let's start with the Heritage Salad. Had this twice with added grilled chicken and it was great. A big salad as well. Railtown burger, death by cheese burger, and the BBQ bacon burger are the next ones. Burgers are done very well. Death by cheese is definitely for a cheese lover. BBQ had a nice fast to it. All were juicy. No dry meat here. Also hade the pretzel plate. Did not care for this at all. Comes more like a loaf and didn't taste like a pretzel that I'm used to. Just too thick for me. Cheese curds were great. Staff was friendly and quick on all visits. The atmosphere was pretty cool. All visits were at lunch time and they able to get us out in a decent time. There are a couple other items that I would like to try so I will be back. read more

I would drive an hour to get the Mushroom burger again! Wow. One of the best burgers I've had anywhere. So many flavors going on. Cooked perfectly. Even the bun was fantastic! Paired with the blueberry cider and an appetizer of pizza rangoons this lunch stop really shined! Great service. Great atmosphere. Check it out! read more

Having a repair on our Coach and they staff sent us here for lunch while it was getting fixed. What a fabulous place. Sort-of rustic inside and we grabbed a couple of seats at the bar. The Bartender, Heidi, has such a great personality and made everyone feel very welcomed. We had a couple of cold ones and their version of a Cuban sandwich with fries and a side of coleslaw. The Cuban had generous portions of pork, & ham meat, it was very moist and easily enough for us to split. Quite tasty and very filling! read more

Overall, very good and we'll continue to visit on occasion. - Citra Warrior beer has exceptional flavor. Double IPA with higher alcohol content, so don't drink many. - Totchos are DELICIOUS and have made my "deserted island" list...a food I would eat every day. - The new pepperoni pizza filling appetizer is EXCEPTIONAL (sorry, I don't have the menu pulled up) - The Texas Brisket Fried Rice dish needs a good tweak (Again...maybe not exact name, as I can't pull the menu up right now), The pickled jalapeños WAY overpower the rest of the dish and that's all you taste. I couldn't even have told you there was brisket in it. Just feedback to make your place even better! read more

This is the 4 time I've given them another chance yet they mess up my Togo order every single time. The food is laughable at best and the quality continues to seem to go down. Each time is inconsistent to the last. This is the grilled chicken, it is stained a weird dark color and tasted like it's been re heated more than a few time. read more

First time here and will go back. Had a couple beers and all were good. We started with the pretzel and cheese dip. Really good pretzel, and it came with chips to scoop up any cheese left. I had the Death by Cheese burger, not sure how to explain it. But there was so much cheese and deliciousness. Wife had the Buffalo chicken with truffle fries, enjoyed them. And son had the chicken and waffles, which are his thing. He claims top 2 in his life. Tie that all in with cool place, great service and it was a total win for us. read more

Went to railtown for lunch with a coworker we split the street corn dip I thought it was very good great flavor my coworker would have liked it better warm. But the star of the afternoon was the Chicken Satay Bahn Mi sandwich!!! It was phenomenal! I do not drive out to 68th street unless for work but I would for this sandwich! The only thing is the menu says peanut sauce and I would have called it a curry sauce as it had no peanut flavor. But I like curry better so no complaints here! Will be back! Only got a pic of the sandwich after a few bites. read more

TERRIBLE SERVER, WORSE MANAGER! Started when we arrived and were told it was a 20-25 minute wait. We were seated in less than 5 minutes and observed that no patrons left or vacated. We sat down and I ordered a beer. The beer was brought to us pretty quickly along with waters. The beer was overflowing and spilled across our table when our waitress sat it down. We had no silverware or napkins so this was problematic. We asked for them and they were never brought to us to clean up the mess. My wife ended up going and getting them herself. When the waitress came back for our order we asked specially that if we ordered an appetizer if it would come out before our meal. She ensured it would so we proceeded to order as such. During this time my son ordered a lemonade which we had to track down later after our food arrived and it was brought to us by the hostess. Our appetizer came after about 15 minutes and immediately after our entrees came. The person dropping the appetizer was not back to the kitchen before the folks bringing our entrees arrived. When I asked the waitress why this food all came together after she specifically said it would not she pointedly blamed the kitchen and walked away. SHE NEVER CAME BACK! When our bill came the manager dropped it off and took my card. At no time did he ask about our experience or address the issue we had. Nothing was done to make this right! It appears that there is a lack of organization and they struggle when they are busy. If you are going there (which I wouldn't suggest), I would avoid going during busy hours. As for the food, the burger was good, fries were average, Mac and cheese had a weird...almost salty taste to it. I cannot comment on the Dip Sampler because our meal came before we could really try it. Overall, you would expect a manager to address our issues and a server in a restaurant this busy to be better. read more

Good brews, good food (turkey blt), good atmosphere, friendly staff. Close to the airport too!

I love that it's a local owned business by me. That's why I keep going. We need to support local businesses more. They rotate the menu and I feel like as soon as I find something I like it's gone the next time. So that bums me out. Beer isn't too bad. read more

This was our second visit and I have to say we were a bit disappointed. It took longer than normal for our server to come to our table, She brought our beers before our waters and that took longer than normal. We had to ask twice about the monthly rice bowl special. I ordered the rice bowl special (Cajun shrimp) and was disappointed. The quality was okay, but it wasn't very hot and in fact parts of it were cold. Our server did not get back to check on us until we were almost done eating. Another server ended up taking our payments. He apologized and said our server was new. I am usually a bit more forgiving, but there were just too many strikes against this time. I am not sure we will be back. read more

This was our first stop once we got off the plane in GR. It isn't too far from the airport so makes for a perfect 1st or last stop if checking out breweries. We did the flight with Watermelon Cider, Kiwi Sour, Shadyside IPA, River Trout and Great Stoutsby. The watermelon cider tasted like wine and was a little difficult to drink honestly. Ben said The Great Stoutsby was the best out of his options but wasn't over the moon with the others. Maybe it was just a miss that day. They do have a food menu that offers a range of items that are very different that makes you think they are not sure what type of food they want to offer but we could smell the food from other patrons close by and it did smell very yummy. The proportion size given to them was large so that is good and we both said that we would be willing to give the brewery another try and that next time we would order some food as well. read more

The hot chicken sandwich was AMAZING! Spicy, sweet, savory- texture was so good- brioche bun, crispy breading, creamy and tangy sauce and slaw. The tots were fried beautifully. Quality of food was excellent. Service was good. Ambiance nice, I liked the coat hooks. The high top chairs weren't comfortable, but otherwise great experience. read more
