The kicker is the pizza from next door if you catch them open. Raterman pizza with a pint was next level in taste, texture, quality and enjoyment of a meal. Happy birthday to me!! The cheese plate was ok. Idk why ordered it. I didn't want cheese but wanted a snack. The music was really good. The staff was very friendly. It was a perfect evening. I've been back twice since and will keep coming back. Love it.

Fun brewery that's both a cozy local neighborhood spot and a "destination brewery" for happy hours,…read morethe post work groups, dates, etc. Great brews on tap, with a helpful board describing both the type of beer, flavor profiles, and ABV clearly. Food menu focused on BBQ and sandwiches. Happy hour Tuesday-Friday 3-6pm with $1 off draft pours and some food items and other deals. Looks like they currently are running a daily food special as well. Indoor and outdoor seating options. Nachos are great with huge portions (pictured is the HALF size). Only kind of critique on the menu is that there aren't really any options if you're looking to be a little healthier (don't really have veggies or veggie sides etc). I think if they had some lighter options, I'd be a regular. (Though I'm pretty sure what they're doing is working great for them - had a decent amount of people for 4pm on a Friday already and was getting busier by the time we left around 5:30pm.) Did they get rid of their back room / games area? Looked like that was an employee only area when we went yesterday.

The last time I reviewed Wolverine they were not serving food yet so it's been a pleasure to watch…read morethem add BBQ to their line up and I was even more pleased to find it was delicious! I'm not drinking as much these days so it's nice to be able to come here and have a bite and a root beer and not feel out of place. I met up with a friend and her younger daughter as well, and it was a comfortable, somewhat kid friendly environment around dinner time, too (they even have a kid's menu, FYI). It's a casual atmosphere here, with a walk up counter to order your food and offerings like pulled pork sandwiches, ribs on Saturdays, and BBQ topped mac and cheese, which is what I opted for during my visit. It was great! The brisket was a nice smoky contrast to the creamy mac and cheese. Decadent but filling! I also split some soft pretzels with my friends and those were enjoyable as well. Carryout is available. Meat is smoked daily so when it's gone, it's gone, so I'd recommend coming early if you have your heart set on something.

We hadn't been here in a long time and were anxious to reacquaint ourselves with this "neighborhood…read morebar." Sadly, a mediocre burger and a small portion of halfway decent onion rings were a disappointment. Our server was friendly and efficient. The ambience was pure "old school" sports bar. There are many better options in the area.

Last night we walked into this sports bar looking for a chill night and a good time. We traveled…read moreout of town for the game. The kicker: we were kicked out of the bar after a $400+ bill. We were in a larger group, and our waitress told us that we were being "too rowdy" and asked us to leave the bar. We were not causing any issues. My father spoke to the bar manager, who essentially told us we were overserved, being too rowdy, & proceeded to ask us to leave the bar. Service so terrible that other people in the bar were apologizing to us. We asked around and we were NOT causing issues. If you care about feeling safe, this is not the environment for you. I would not recommend this to anyone, specifically people that are out of state. I would rate this bar -100/5 if that were an option.

We stopped by this sports bar for some drinks and food, and honestly the whole experience was…read moregreat. The staff were super friendly and sat us right away, which set a good tone from the start. The environment was lively but still very family‑friendly, which I really appreciated. They have a solid variety of drinks and beers. I ordered a mojito, at first sip it tasted like water, but after stirring it up it turned out to be really well balanced and refreshing. For food, I had the lemon pepper wings and my husband had the buffalo wings. Both were perfectly cooked: crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and the sauces were spot on. Definitely some of the better wings we've had in a while. We'll definitely be going back! I've got my eye on the steak fries for next time.

Came in on Mother's Day and it was not overly busy. A handful of tables had customers at them…read more We were waiting on the sixth person of our party to show up so we ordered drinks and looked at the menus. Waitress seemed annoyed that we weren't ordering food right away. So, we put in an appetizer order while we waited. The Quesorizo was okay, but the portion was tiny. We put in our order before our sixth arrived as they told us what they wanted. The food started arriving fairly quickly which was good. But the waitress put in an order for a regular chicken tenders meal for one of my daughters instead of the one from the kid's menu. I ordered the "El Gordo" Burrito with beef. It was a lackluster item filled with regular ground beef that was not seasoned. I didn't finish it. My wife and oldest daughter got the buffalo chicken mac and cheese - which they normally love - but they said it was not very good today. And to top it all off, our waitress disappeared for about 10 minutes forcing us to go up to the bar to get drinks/refills and request a new set of silverware because my son dropped his on the ground. I do not plan on going here again.

Restroom was clean but it does have a bit of a restroom smell, and it only has one toilet.

Going to the Common Grill for years. Usually for lunch so it's rarely for dinner and with the hour…read morecutbacks, haven't visited for two years. On the visit today had the walnut walleye and the shrimp lobster pasta. The pasta was good but the recipe was less flavorful and tangy than before. Ingredients were changed and not the unique flavor from the Craig Commons era. The pear salad and rolls were delicious. The walleye was a big disappointment. The dish came out hot and fresh from the kitchen but fish was soft and mushy and either lower quality or refrozen or just not first rate. Our expectations for this level of restaurant are much higher. Likely will try again but for a 150 dollar dinner with tip for two entrees and two glasses of wine that aren't first rate is not worth my time. The waitress was great. But a somehow a large table of eight people next to us had a major order screw up that required smoozing from several manager types to repair. Disappointed. Craig Common prices but not Craig Common quality or service.

This place was very unexpected for the description of pub and pizzeria…read more The atmosphere and ambience is a vibe as soon as you open the door very upscale, clean and inviting. Friendly staff, upbeat, lots of smiles. Server was great she was from Chicago one of my favorite cities. The food is great, cannot say enough about the chicken bacon ranch calzone it's amazing one of the best I've ever eaten. Also have tried the Ruben sandwich with fries. Sandwich was tasty but Extremely small portion for the price and the fries are skinny so eat them fast or they'll get cold quick. Been back 3 times. Placed a to go order on the way home from Ann Arbor and once again it did not disappoint. It was lunchtime on a Wednesday and they were packed with a 25 minute wait time, so glad I had placed a to go order, but that just goes to show you how well they are doing I highly recommend checking them out, I'm definitely gonna mane my way around

TW: This place bleeds money at your expense…read more This establishment needs an overhaul and warn their customers about drinking cut off rules. Our first waitress (we went an hour before shift change) was really sweet, but our last waitress informed us about the beer/drink limit for the bar. However, our previous waitress was filling our glasses nonstop and my husband wasn't driving, I was drinking Pepsi Zero. The manager shows up after requesting her, with a major attitude and a definite need of a makeover and proceeded to inform us that there was a "companywide" limit on alcohol. First of all, you're an establishment, not a company. You have all of 2 locations. (Another group of people were walking out with us, and they also had the same problem and there words exactly were "lets go get some real drinks, ones that don't cost $14 and let's go somewhere we can actually drink." WOW!) On a side note, why do you have more than 5 host/hostesses (who are all on their phones, even though they're not "supposed to be")? You need 2-3. Why do you have 30-50 waitstaff for an establishment that warrants 10 at best? Do you enjoy bleeding money? If you're looking for a job where you can stand around and do nothing all day this is the place for you. We won't be returning to any of your "company" establishments. BTW you're in Jackson, NOT Ann Arbor. ***Update*** They informed us that the waitstaff decides if someone "appears" intoxicated. Managers will back up their waitstaff at all costs, even if that includes losing business. Therefore, the second waitress stated to the manager that he "appeared" intoxicated due to the number of beverages he had consumed, yet she was unable to provide any evidentiary support as to what "he appeared intoxicated" means. In other words, this is discriminatory nature of practice based solely on the number of alcoholic beverages you've consumed. BTW if you want a really good dinner go to Burger King down the street. Their food is better!

Sat inside which was large and spacious. Service was friendly and attentive. Got a chicken caesar wrap, which I enjoyed. The house made chips were really good - thick and crunchy.

Super buttery pastry, a nice savory beef and vegetable filling, and gravy.

I'm sure others like it though I'm not sure why or how. Monday night. Two adults and one kid. Service was very sweet. Husband ordered an Old Fashioned with Markers Mark instead of their well. What he got was a super sweet cocktail. Almost too sweet to drink. He said it was fine. He didn't want to fuss. Let's just move on to the food. We both were feeling like a patty melt. I asked to add mushrooms and leave off the special sauce (thousand island type stuff). What we got was a plate with soggy sourdough stuffed with salty saucy pot roast covered in cheese and onions. That is not a patty melt. I looked up the description on the menu online and it doesn't say pot roast but braised beef. I get it after seeing what was on the plate and wouldn't have ordered it if there was a picture or if it said it was saucy POT ROAST. The side salad I ordered for a $4 up charge was great. Beautiful and fresh. Even their ranch is really good. I tried to eat the sandwich but it was too salty and disappointing. I wanted a patty melt. Pot roast isn't a frickin patty. My husband powered through his. He was too hungry. The waitress offered to talk to the manager and came back to offer one of their smash burgers. I asked if it can be a patty melt on grilled bread instead of a bun. She was clueless. I ordered a burger and said just put it on the bread. It came out after my husband and little was well finished with their food. Her talking to the manager took way too long. The burger wasn't a smash burger either, it was two tiny over cooked patties. Smash burgers are thin and with crispy edges. This was not. The caramelized onion fondue cheese sauce was the highlight but at this point I was just eating to fill my belly and get out of there. Husband and little ordered the strawberry shortcake dessert just so they weren't sitting there waiting for me to finish. Idk what that rock hard shortcake was made out of but it took muscle to get thru it. It wasn't dry just very dense and tasteless. There was too much biscuit to macerated strawberries. It needed to be dunked in the syrup to get some flavor. It's was stout enough to handle it. When the bill was brought out, I had to ask for an iced tea refill. No refills were offered or given the whole visit. Total was ~$73 before tip. This is it for us. They have a nice private dining room that I would have loved to consider for our company holiday party but only if the food was better. They are consistently poor in either the execution or description of their menu items.
