Everything about this place was exceptional. The atmosphere has an old time feel, the building is rustic with lots of old pictures on the wall. The service was great and took care of us well. The food was spectacular, everyone enjoyed their meal and agreed that T Lawsons is the best restaurant in Grand Rivers. read more

This was our first time back in awhile and it didn't disappoint. From the start with our smoked nachos and cheese curds to the main meal of shroom smash burger, roasted chicken gnocchi, chipotle chicken tacos, and the brisket plate. It was an awesome experience. The server was very attentive and friendly. Everyone was dressed up for the Halloween holiday so it was super cute! read more

We went to T. Lawson's Grill for dinner Friday night. While there we were favored by a visit, a chat and a photo op with a Grand Rivers icon, Chip Tullar. How remarkable it is, that in a town with a population of less than 500, you can enjoy world class cuisine in a fun setting. The food was epic and the company was great. The dish pictured is Halibut with succotash sauce (That fish was swimming in icy Alaskan water no more than 3 days ago). A night out with family couldn't have been more special read more

My date treated me to a tomahawk lunch. Patti's was crowded so TLawsons was second best. Or very many choices but the dishes are creates by the chef. Food was decent. The staff must have enjoyed my date because they were extra attentive . May try again. read more

Waiting for a reservation at Patti's and came here for a drink.... And VERY GLAD I DID! This place is awesome and has a great menu. Patti's was of course great but next time I'm in town I'm gonna eat here. The bar tender was extremely friendly and talked about the history of the bar and Mr. Lawson. So much history packed into such a small town. This is just a really cool bar and grill with awesome menu options. A must visit when in the area. I'll be back! read more

Finally a restaurant that checks all the boxes, Food amazing ( new chef),service ( Cassie), price and ambiance(piano player). Since Covid every restaurant (except Pattis) has been a let down in at least one or two of theses categories including T Lawsons. We decided to give T Lawsons another shot and it was so great Friday we went back and ordered same on Saturday( Beef skewers with broccoli). read more

Okay, you must get the pretzel and cheese! And make sure you save any remaining cheese for your fries! So so good. I had a burger, which was decent. Beer selection wasn't great but I love a good blue moon! read more

We flew in to the local airport hoping to have dinner in town around 6pm. Saturday Night, they were busy. We were on the wait list at 6:05pm. Young blond girl hostess, honestly said it would be an hour wait. Since there were no other choices for restaurants in this town, we had to wait. We walked around, went across the street and looked in the busy busy gift shops, and after 45 min we headed back. We sat around the bar inside for another 30 min. After an hour and a half, and a wait watching the hostess chat it up for 15+ min with her friends, whom were sitting and holding up a table, they finally left and cleared the table for us. We finally got a table just before "kitchen" closing time, and that the menu was limited to only a few items. We were next to the hostess stand, and we got to watch the hostess rudely enjoy telling everyone coming in that they weren't seating because it was closing in an hour. She looked happy saying it, and enjoyed the hungry peoples disappointment. She was clearly ready to NOT be there. Even though none of her negative vibes were aimed at us directly, I think our hostess set the mood for our evening. It was obvious to me that all these places in Grand River (Patty's 1880s, and this place) just believe they will always have more customers than they need, and they treat people as such. Or maybe it's hard to get help that enjoys their job in this area with what they are willing to pay??? IDK ..... Not impressed. Next time we fly in, we will just go to Cracker Barrel, the other direction from Grand River area. The food was OK and our server was nice, but the overall vibe was neg. No thanks. read more

Stopped by this evening shortly after opened to get a carryout of wings. Advertised on site for $1 wings. We are camping at canal and opted to take back and watch the evening lake views. My husband went in and ordered(phone number only gives restaurant info and doesn't answer for orders). Got our order of two 12 pc wings plain and was presented bill for $18 for each order! He questioned and said the website shows $1 wings! Was informed this is only for dine in orders. Nowhere in the ad did it mention this. Nowhere. Another gentlemen walked in under same assumption of $1 wings and was doing a carryout order. He said same thing: does not say this in ad. The response to him and my husband was oh well, it's only dine in. Rude. Points to consider: if only dine in, put that in the ad. And answer your phone calls instead of saying will see you at the homestead. And, carryout orders only require putting order together and collecting money. No waitress, dishes, tables, etc. Less labor intensive, less cost. We had our wings, pd the cost, they did taste good, but the experience getting them was less than desirable. Rethink your policy. And I hope management reads this and acts. For many people take out is necessary. For me, I avoid crowds due to very low immunity from 23 rounds of chemo, which is unending. For many, other health issues make it a challenge. Or work, childcare issues, schedules. Be glad people still want your food. Be gracious. read more

We was so excited about coming here it was a really big let down. My wife picked a cheeseburger with tots. While I went with the house special for the day a burger with bacon onion straws and special sauce I choose Mac n cheese as my side (it was cold). The best thing we got was the pretzel with cheese it was great and really large. They only do carry out at this time but plenty of seats outside restaurant. They are a Military friendly location. read more

You'll need reservations or you'll need to wait. It's very popular. They open at noon and there is already a porch full of people waiting to get in. The food is decent and the selection at the bar is even better. They've got the ability to seat larger groups which makes it a great stop for family get-togethers. read more

Hit and miss food and drinks (including the worst $13 alcoholic drink I can recall), but nice outdoor seating and solid service. Must try: - Mashed potatoes - Tropical drinks - Tots appetizer, enjoyed by all Not missing out: - Bishop bourbon drink : $13 for one shot of bourbon drowned in club soda. They don't list drink prices, so I can now say this was one of the worst $13 drinks I can recall. I asked if that was the right price since it was disappointing (as did 5 other people that tasted it), and they said it was correct price due to the bourbon used. They need to fix how they serve this, or warn people before ordering their nice bourbon with orange and bitters will be served in a Capris Sun-style sleeve sadly diluted with like 10fl oz of club soda. See picture. - Cornbread was buttery yet still kind of dry and not enjoyed by all three that had it. Sat in outdoor seating. Have multiple nice tables with umbrellas. Had large fans which weren't turned on. Fish tacos: Good fish, didn't have the sour cream advertised on their website. Received a legitimate tablespoon of guacamole for two tacos. When wife tried she asked if we got any guac on it (which was already applied). Slaw was good but sparse and dry. Shrimp n grits and mable chicken were both decent but not great. Had 5 med-large shrimp for ~$17 shrimp and grit order. Mac n cheese: Mixed reviews from those that got it; creamy, not very cheesy. read more

The food was amazing. The pretzel is a must! The live piano player was so relaxing to listen to. Workers are really nice.

The host was very nice and greeted me as soon as I walked in. My server was awesome. I asked for suggestions and she provided lots of options. I chose the Gooey Smash Burger (no onions). It was honestly one of the best I've had. Along with hand cut fries that were cooked to perfection. The vibe of the restaurant was really cool. Vintage decor with a huge bar to anchor the space. I'd like to come back and try a cocktail and another one of Elizabeth's recommendations. read more

This place is fantastic! My husband and I had the bbq chicken dish and the ribs and thought they were fantastic. The sweet tea is awesome and their dessert menu looks to die for. They even have vegan options for those who choose to avoid meat with the impossible burger! The restaurant's vibe, whole casual, is updated nicely and has a great bit of history attached to it with the local history printed on the menu. Summary: would highly recommend! read more

My husband & I went in for lunch at the bar. Bartender asked for IDs (ordered beer) my husband had his, didn't. I am 60, we grabbed my wallet out of car & put our name on wait list for table. In about 30 min we were seated w/ a great server "Lacey" we had a few beers with our lunch. Our food was really good. We were lucky enough to listen to Donavan playing piano & singing..he was wonderful & soulful! The one negative was the bartender confronted our waitress about carding us ( next to our table). Felt that was inappropriate & a bit bitchy read more

Food ans service is great, but it is so damned over priced , someone is on crack, no matter how good food is ,if it is over priced it's shit don't waste ur time and for sure don't waste your money or the drive, stay at home , Oh yeah Patti's is just as bad, there is such a thing as inflation and there is is such a thing as stupid. If you drive there and eat there your stupid as they are read more

Such a fun and unique spot! We ordered the pretzel appetizer (pretzel was MASSIVE with a generous dish of fresh beer cheese) the fish tacos (the best damn fish tacos I've EVER had) the fried chicken sandwich and the Copper Kings Burger. The fried chicken sandwich was good, would be a lot better if they had dipped it in sauce or added more sauce on the sandwich. The burger looked good and was topped with pimento cheese. Definitely coming back next time we visit LBL. read more

This was our 3rd trip to T. Lawson's and was a great experience as always. There was a short 5 minute wait, fast service, good drinks and great food! The drinks are full of flavor and help get the evening started. The NY strip was one of the best I've had locally! Only complaint is the steak is a little over priced at $39. We definitely be a returning customer!! read more

The menu online definitely needs updating. Only thing available for lunch is chicken and burgers. The staff folds napkins with flatware at the best table available in front of the clients. The burgers came out, medium rare. The ambience is OK. Service was quick, but rather unprofessional. read more

T. Lawson's Grill was great! I feel that there is something for everyone. For appetizer I recommend the loaded tater tots, delish! For Dinner you can't go wrong. We enjoyed a burger and the shrimp and grits. Other members on our party had fish tacos, fish sandwich , and chicken tenders. All were equally as good. The portions were good and the prices were reasonable. This restaurant does feel small. Not in a bad way, but I imagine if there was a wait it would be long. There wasn't a wait when we went. We were able to get right in and our food was brought out super quick. You can sit in the bar area without being seated if there are open seats so that is an option. There is not outdoor seating, but I feel this is something they should look into adding. Overall, good food, good service, good restaurant. 5 stars read more

The menu is very good with a bit for everyone. We ordered three appetizers, the cheese bites, the tots, and crab patties. All were delicious. I had the ribeye, and it was cooked to perfection. Service was excellent. The place is a little bit small so right now there is a long wait. Hopefully they add call ahead seating soon. You can wait at the bar, or go shopping across the street. read more

Excellent service and food. Sliders and shrimp tacos were exceptional. Live music a plus

I am a previous customer from the last time it was open. And had been there when opened back up with a limited menu with no complaint. They said then the full menu would return in November. Had been there many times before and recommended and it to several people. Today I was very surprised to find an altered menu. Nothing as good as before. Selection was poor in my opinion. I did order the 16 ounce ribeye that was very good. The sides that were offered were cream corn, colored potatoes, or asparagus. No side salad or baked potato. I was billed $55 For my steak, cream corn and diced potatoes. The menu showed the price to be $53. I talked to the manager about it . I said I wasn't worried about the extra money but they should sort this out. He said it was a computer glitch . I would not recommend T Lawson's to anyone now. read more

I had a wonderful fried fish sandwich here! THREE pieces of fish on one sandwich! It came with a generous helping of tater tots too! They also served me complimentary cast iron of corn bread. I will go again (in better clothes)! The only reason I didn't give all 5 stars wasn't their fault! Yelp listed it as a "sports bar" and I went with that anticipation. It's NOT a sports bar! It's a classy restaurant with a classy bar. Antique garments are framed and displayed instead of tv's and sports attire. (Sry the menu is sideways). read more

We sat outside. The flies were annoying but the server turned the fan on and that alleviated the fly issue. The server was very sweet and friendly. We had lunch on a Thursday there. The appetizer was crab cakes. Very delicious. I had the shrimp tacos and my daughter had the shrimp and grits. My son had chicken strips. It was all worth the wait. I recommend getting an appetizer because the kitchen is slow. The manager came out a few times to check on us, I liked that. Great food, on vacation time! read more

Need to fix the menu. I ordered the Mable's Smokehouse Chicken, which was delicious, but before ordering the 2 sides that came with it I asked the waitress if there was an up charge for the loaded potato (which was mentioned along the other sides). She said no, that I could choose any that were listed with no up charge. When the bill came, there was an additional $2.50 added to have the baked potato loaded. I told the waitress that I had asked her beforehand, and she said, "I didn't know". Not a good business practice! Either show on the menu what sides are included with the meal without an up charge or inform your servers what includes said charge. Wasn't happy! read more

Good food, good service cool place to take the family. Got the tots and pretzel as a starter and both were awesome.

Visited T Lawsons this past Sunday night. The special of the night was fried pork cutlet with gravy, homemade mashed potatoes, and green beans. Hands down one of the best meals we have eaten in many years. They were busy but service was still great. The four in our party agreed the dinner was excellent. read more

As of now CLOSED until sometime later in the year. YELP SHOWS THEM TO BE OPEN, our fault. We should have called ahead before driving to Grand Rivers. Did eat at the Thirsty Turtle Tavern. read more

This was such a great place to eat. Staff was friendly and very helpful. We only stopped for a light lunch and most of us enjoyed a great house salad. My friend ordered the Special Valentine's dessert and it looked great and was very delicious according to her and a few others that helped her eat it. The atmosphere was so nice, enjoyed reading the history of the place on the menu and looking at all the old items placed around the grill. Highly enjoyed my time there. read more

Horrendous customer service. A truly pathetic establishment. Not at all how grand rivers should be represented.

We had a wonderful first time experience for lunch. Great service, menu and food! We will be back! Oh and nice ambience!

Great place to eat. Love the cooper burger with the sunny side egg on it and the fish tacos were awesome and so was the broccoli. The cream and mash mellow cookie was amazing read more

Dinner at the newly re-opened T-Lawson's left a lot to be desired. We were really hoping they would get it right! We made a reservation, were on time, seated immediately by a friendly hostess. The ambiance was lovely and the restaurant beautifully decorated. Took quite some time to get our drinks from the bar, which didn't have any taste of alcohol... at $11 a piece. We had the cheese curds, which were amazing. One member of our party ordered the BLT salad which came out with no dressing. She asked for more dressing and was told it was already mixed in, so they couldn't provide more. We had the ricotta chicken pasta which had a TON of asparagus, but it was 99% asparagus stalk that was too hard to eat or cut into. The chicken was dry. The noodles and cream sauce by themselves were okay! One member of our party had the chicken tacos and said they were great. Our server never asked if we wanted more drinks, even with our completely empty glasses sitting in the middle of the table. We probably won't be back. I hope our experience was an exception and we just ordered wrong. read more

Fantastic smothered tots! Drinks were okay. Beautiful place that we will go back to so we can try their desserts.
