The reviews are true about the location. The deck is right on the river, providing a fabulous…read morebackdrop to a meal. The menu is not fancy - wraps, burgers, wings, salads, fried apps. Good drink menu for my purposes. My party enjoyed the chicken wrap, bean burger, veggie burger and chicken wings. The wings came out over cooked, but the replacement came out prefect. Gythnth (Gwen) provided excellent service. The food came out hot, including the fries! This my dear reader is unfortunately a rarity. This is not sophisticated dining establishment. It is pub fare, with great service in a scenic location. Five stars for execution.

Went here for a concert at the soaring eagle. Very inexpensive and that might be due to the area…read more We only had about an hour to eat for a table of five and the food came out very fast as well as the service being good. I tried two cocktails which were a rum runner and (can't remember the other one) but both were very yummy. My burger was really good as well as the crab Rangoon egg rolls, those were my first time trying something like this and unfortunately, I could literally eat them all day. I won't be back anytime soon unless I'm going to the soaring eagle but I would love to go back.

Best Olive Burger in Big Rapids? You Bet! Today, some friends from work and I went out for lunch at…read moreSzot's Bar & Grill on North State Street in Big Rapids. I ordered their Olive Burger and asked them to toast the bun. I added cheese, lettuce, and mayo too. Let me tell you--this burger was amazing. I've eaten burgers in lots of places, even at Szot's before. But today's burger? It was the best one yet. The bun was warm and crispy, the toppings were fresh, and the olives gave it a tasty kick. I liked it so much, I stopped talking just to enjoy it. If this burger was running for mayor of Big Rapids, I'd vote for it twice!

Took 20 minutes just to get water. Actual drinks took about 30 minutes. Plates arrived at least an hour after placing the orders. One of the plates was completely incorrect. Executive chef Isaac came out with several excuses and ended by blaming the server. Communication between kitchen, servers, (there were no runners or bussers) was non existent. Management was nowhere to be found. Absolutely unacceptable. Good luck selling the business.

Traveled 2 hours to meet friends at Blue Cow for lunch. We had a table of three and there were…read morejust a few other diners. We were celebrating a 70th birthday and had a couple other friends face-timing for a few minutes. The owner came to our table and told us we were being "rude and irresponsible". Granted, we did have a few laughs with our phone friends but her approach was totally out of line for a business owner. How about, "Hey ladies, sounds like your are having a wonderful time, but could you not do the phone call much longer? And thank you for dining here today." She most certainly is not a professional. Only one waitress (no bartender) was new at her job, and doing ok. She was sweet and tried to fill drink orders, even though not trained on the bar. A couple small mistakes but we understood her situation. First and last time at the Blue Cow.

The atmosphere is good especially on the bar side. That said the wait staff brought me stuff I didn't order, didn't bring stuff out that I DID order, asked my friend with two kids if he would pay for the kids or if they were each paying their own way and forgot all condiments. The Chicago dog was a boiled dog with diced cucumbers and tomatoes....sad....

Good food and brews. Usually busy. Service is average…read more Currently they are "having issues" getting orders from Door Dash. Door Dash cancelled my order after an hour because the restaurant never got my order. I called Crankers and talked to, I think he said his name was Aaron (the manager). He said that they have been having trouble getting orders from door dash. I asked him why he still had his restaurant on Door Dash then if he is going to make people wait an hour just to not even get their food. I will not be ordering here for a while again. Since the pandemic hit a lot of restaurants have stepped up their game with Door Dash and alike to still have bus ones. I guess Crankers in Big Rapids has yet to figure it out.

I ordered a salad and it was served with a breadstick touching the salad. The textbook definition of cross contamination. I feel they are overpriced for the few options I had.
