    Outdoor covered patio
    Travis H.

    Hidden Gem!! Definitely worth a stop if you're ever in Grand Rapids. We stopped here after biking and loved the beer and outdoor patio. Our bartender offered recommendations on their beers and answered all of our questions. We didn't try any food but it's all looked amazing on the tables next to us. Added bonus: they sell maple syrup!!

    Caprese Pizza 4 Prickled Pink 3.5 Wanna Pakau 4.5 For an average rating of 4 on this visit. Order & pay at the bar counter,seat yourself, pick up at the window when your buzzer goes off, I appreciate the fresh herbs used on the pizzas. The prices are mid-range, neither low not excessive. The music was right up our alley to boot.

    Sass-squash pizza

    WE LOVE RAPIDS BREWERY!!! It's our first stop on our way up to my boyfriend's parent's place in Grand Rapids! Our most recent trip, we tried the Sass-squash pizza and when I tell you I have not stopped thinking about this pizza since then I am not kidding! It was a perfect balance of flavors and so unique! Service is always amazing (they gave me a free beer for missing my fry order on first try) and I was so grateful. Additionally, we happened to stumble upon the community band performance night when we were there and it was a packed house and great to meet some of the band members and their family! Make the stop! Their food is incredible, beer is great and they always have something fun going on for entertainment.

    Walking in this place felt like a community gathering place, the atmosphere was warm and the staff was kind. The menu is extensive with so many delicious options, however we felt like things just missed the mark a bit, for example; the caprese pizza was very oily, and the chicken sandwich was too dry. Small things that overall would not deter us from going back.

    Came here for the pizza and I'm a NY pizza snob. This isn't NY style but it is extremely good. The servers at the bar were very polite and helpful. Great place to listen to a band outside. I didn't stay inside but looks like a cool place to eat and hang out. I'm not a big fan of breweries because people seam like snobs but this place has everything going for itself. I highly recommend this place. Wish you were in the Twin Cities. This place is a gem.

    Love this brewery! We have a cabin about 30 minutes away and we definitely will be coming back! The beer was great and the pizza was to die for! We ordered the Italian Stallion and ate it ALL. Service was great and the staff was super friendly. Great place to go to with friends or family.

    Thai noodles with mushrooms
    Amy V.

    Excellent food - Smash burger was juicy and delicious; Fire roasted carrots with a fantastic sauce; Thai noodles with mushrooms were tasty and spicy; Pig Wings were tender and so tasty with a sweet Gochujang sauce! Very good cocktail with bourbon, berry syrup, lemon, mint and club soda. Service good and helpful. Sat outdoors and enjoyed the entertainment--a vocalist and guitarist.

    Stopped in for a quick nightcap before heading back to Sugar Lake Lodge. I really liked the vibe of the place. The picnic area, although too chilly to enjoy on our visit, looked like a great place to soak up some summer sun. They had the fire pit going when we arrived which ended up being a smoke break location for bar patrons. I chose the imperial stout. Woo, was that potent. Their Pilsner wasn't pouring the way they wanted so they suggested another option. Husband had the cream ale. The entertainment for the night was music bingo. They play random snippets of music and you try to full your card. We were too late to play but the other patrons looked like they were having a great time. Also looked like there was a private party room in the back. Nice visit.

We ordered a 16 inch with wings and it did not fill two of us up. In comparison we would do a 14 inch with wings and another local place and have 1/2 to 1/3 left. Looking at it we saw more sauce than cheese and i could not see the sausage. On a positive the crust was crispy and the jalapeños were fresh cut, not out of a jar. But maybe 1/2 of what i would consider normal ingredients including sauce. Felt cheated , not like any of the photos Online!

We popped in and got a cheese pizza, a woodsman supreme pizza, and a bacon cheeseburger pizza followed by a generous piece of cinnamon cake. They do it ALL right! The crust, the toppings, the sauce, the cheese, it's all amazing and well proportioned! The star of the show for me was the bacon cheeseburger pizza. It's got it all! Pickles, mustard, two types of cheese, all without being overbearing and unbalanced. Everything made sense in the amount it was used. The stand out for my husband was the woodsman supreme. The slices were weighty and full of the toppings. The cinnamon cake at the end was light, moist, and delicate. A perfect follow up to the punch of flavor the pizza offered. The two gentlemen who were waiting on us were beyond "Minnesota nice". They were attentive, friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and clearly love what they do at LMNO Pizza. 10/10 10/10‍

Angie is also a hard worker and a friendly face I appreciate at this store. I do think the prices at Casey's are in general unreasonably marked up. Especially for being just a run-of-the-mill gas station/convenience store. However, since the price gouging accurately describes 95% of all gas stations and convenience stores in America, I'll keep my review a 5/5 because of the great people I've come to know since doing business with this store. Ever since I moved to Minnesota in 10/2023 this Casey's was easily the closest store for me to get to by foot, which was important for me without a vehicle to get around town. Before I was able to properly familiarize myself with the rest of the Grand Rapids Township, I essentially only shopped here and that went on for the first 6-8 weeks of living here until I moved to a different housing location. I say that to make it clear I have an inordinately high number of customer experiences eating and shopping at this Casey's and interacting with the various staff, and I feel quite positive about my many experiences. Also worth noting: the pizza at Casey's is delicious! Even the breakfast pizza with egg was delicious -- and I am normally 100% opposed to eating prepared "gas station food," but their pizza deserves the good reputation it has among longtime Minnesotans.

There's only a handful of places from The UP (of Michigan) over to The Iron Range who not only make and serve delicious Pasties, but have them frozen or freezer ready to go. Please make Pasties Plus a stop on your way. This is a take out and take home place. I recall seeing one small table. So don't bring a group here to eat. Call ahead and order for your group, family or yourself. Then stop in. Take out. And enjoy. PS - I suggest cutting your hot Pastie in half. Partly to let the heat and savory smells out, but also so you can douse one side with ketchup while you taste the other side straight up.
