I was in town and had to try a burger after watching a few reviews that have come up in my feed…read more I ordered the Blue cheese burger and got it with mushrooms and the Frank's hot ranch on the side. Delicious. Like a four napkin burger haha. It isn't overly large, although a 12 ounce option is available. It's just bar grilled goodness with shredded lettuce and packed with flavor. The inside reminds me of The Bird in Mt. Pleasant. The waitress was great, refilled drinks without asking and it was busy but not packed around 3 on a weekday. Also had sweet potato fries and they were perfect darker orange but not burned. Lunch for two was $30 for 2 burgers and soda.

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.

While waiting for her to arrive, we enjoyed watching folks go down the river on tubes. I decided to order the Fat Noodle Soup as it sounded incredible. I'm a huge fan of ginger so anything with ginger broth is a slam dunk with me. It was a huge bowl of soup and I savored every drop. I had also ordered a side salad with grilled chicken as I thought I would need something to round out my meal. I wound up just eating the chicken and left the lettuce as I was pretty full after all the soup! Hubby ordered a burger with sweet potato fries and really enjoyed it. The wait staff was very friendly as well.

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!

Ordered up the Whitefish, pan seared…read more A slow, sleepy night in Big Rapids, which I never heard of until it was the only place with available hotel rooms south of Cadillac. A fancy upscale traditional steakhouse feel and decor. Four golf elder statesmen across the street getting ice cream as dessert recommended this place. The bar was just me and the tender and at 8:30, the staff was wrapping and cleaning up on the 8/2 Wednesday evening. No tv, minimal noise and subtle indistinguishable background music but catchy to my blues and R&R ears. So...the food... when the plate was put under my nose, I knew it was going to be culinary special. Everything and all of it was special. The Whitefish, perfectly tender, seasoned and mouthwatering. The risotto was creamy and soooo tasty. The broccoli and cauliflower, taken to a new level so it's not just good for you. Finally, the service was great with the young friendly guys, Jesse and Jackson, being very attentive and gracious. Thanks to the four guys who recommended this restaurant. Now, for a guilty pleasure serving of small town homemade ice cream where I asked them "where to eat"??

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.

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.

From the moment we sat down, he was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome.

My wife and I stopped here for a weekday late lunch--had the place mostly to ourselves. We…read moreordered a 4-beer sample flight, a couple of IPAs, a winter lager, and a brown ale. All good, but we were most impressed with the brown--very malty with a nice hop tingle, more substantive than most brown ales I've had, though still less than 5% ABV. The server mentioned it was a new addition to their tap menu, and I hope they'll keep it. We both got a pint to go with lunch. Lunch took the form of the house salad: lettuce and typical salad fixings with bacon and chicken topping it off. Lots of bacon! Wouldn't have minded less, not that I didn't eat every bit. The chicken was tender and juicy, and all the greenery was fresh. Very nice midday meal. While I don't pass through BR very often, I'll make a point of returning here when I do.

Promises he has kitchen to cook your event in Grand Rapids and delivers it from Big Rapids. Party of 150 and the food goes cold in 20 minutes with no prep to keep it warm. Our President chose to go to the back of the line and the food was cold when he was served, They ran out of tortillas at a taco bar. His workers are great, the owner does not care. Way cheaper than the competition and you still will not get your moneys worth. Your team will be disappointed. And don't share concerns, he will cuss at ya. The customer is never right.
