    Chicken ranch wrap

    Everything about it is great! You can also get their salads as a wrap. Amazing beer cheese Great service, amazing vibe.

    Crab Rangoon pizza. Interesting combo

    Great beers. They have a Belgian ale x ipa that tastes like Delirium Tremens but lower abv. Pizzas are mainly personal pans.

    We were staying on 28th Street and decided to check this place out. Chase was our bartender, and he did an excellent job. He let us taste a pilsner beer I was considering, but then we saw the specialty cocktail menu and went with the Petal Punch. The presentation was nice, with a flower on top. The mixture of the vodka-rose-hibiscus and lavender syrup, with lemon juice and soda water was outstanding! Chase was tinkering with using gin instead of vodka for another specialty cocktail and we told him to make our second one with gin and we would provide the taste test. It was also quite tasty. I preferred the vodka, while my friend preferred the gin, so both were a hit. We ordered the Elote Dip as an appetizer. It was a flavorful combination of street corn and sauce that was exceptional. It also came with a handful of chips, but for a price of $13, this seemed a little high for a dip and chips. The bar is spacious and has a nice eclectic atmosphere feel. There are many beer and liquor selections available at this brewery, with many specials and "leaderboard" recommendations, front and center at the bar. This place is a nice stop for drinks, and it gets a pretty good crowd for dinner. We heard the couple at the table behind us tell the waitress that her husband wanted to come back again because the burger was so good the night before! That is saying something!

    Build your own 12' and Hazy IPA.

    First impression of Thornapple is that it's a fun place to have a beer/cocktail/wine. I went there for food and beer. I tried the nitro stout (4/5 against a Guinness), and their Mosaic Trelis Hazy IPA. I really enjoyed both beer, nice head on the nitro . 3 tings 1) 10 beers or so, cocktails are mixed with their spirits and all have won some awards check that out next time. 2) Place is uge and will accommodate large parties, and big groups. Bring in your party their a fun gang and there plenty of space. 3) Had 12' pizza which was well topped (I built my own) and it had plenty of toppings. I will say that the crust is premade so that my only gripe but it's a beer place not a pizza place.

    Don't get over this way nearly as often as we used to but the wife and I had a meeting on this side of town and stopped in for lunch. Our server was great, he practically had the whole room and bar by himself though someone came out later and assisted but service was still great and timely. He brought me out some special hot sauces on request and gave us some feedback on dishes. The food was great we got the spinach dip appetizer and then my wife got a chicken sandwich and I got a burger with fries. Main dishes were great the dip was solid too but a little bit smaller for an appetizer. I was sad too that it looked like the cheese curds were taken off the menu, maybe it'll come back again. Always a great spot and lots of good drink selections too (I got the mango habanero cider and my wife got the classic ginger peach cider- yum!) we'll be back and probably try a pizza again because that's one of their staples and the ones coming out looked delicious (we just had it recently though).

    Fabulous pizza. It's a can't miss.

    Tek experience the best service, but sure did have a fabulous pizza. Had some really good craft beer, here, and a decent selection of cocktails. Pretty good menu and outdoor seating.

    The food was top notch. I would have like the pizza cooked just a minute or two longer, as I had 3 toppings and the middle of the crust was a little soggy. Other than that, I have no complaints at all! Staff was efficient and friendly and the beer and gin were fantastic as well.

    Mosaic Trellis New England IPA

    In town for business so always like to hit a local brewery. Found this one on Yelp. What a great find. Wasn't too crowded on a Mon night but sounds like it gets packed with live music on other nights. I sat at the bar. So enough pleasantries, what about the beer and food, Andy? Well OK. *Beer- I had the Mosaic Trellis NE IPA and it was really tasty. Riding the hazy IPA wave *Food- had the bacon burger and man, was it good! Greasy and delicious on a good bun. *Atmosphere- they were playing classic rock -Rush, Boston, Pink Floyd instead of normal hipster bs which was really cool and at a low volume. (Yes I'm over 50...) *Service- super cool and attentive staff Cool place and will definitely try a few more beers next time I'm rolling through here. Cheers!

    We were only drinking on this trip, but I was the drinks were pretty worth the trip. I had the Sriracha Sayonara cider, and it was the perfect flavor of sweet and spicy. Although it had a spicy taste, it didn't really have a spicy burn (it didn't taste hot). My fiancé had the jalapeño margarita, and it tasted yummy, but if you would've told me there was no booze in it, I probably would've believed it It tasted very much like lime sour and not much like jalapeños or like tequila. We also had their version of an Oktoberfest, and I thought it was the best Oktoberfest I've ever had, but my fiancé felt it wasn't as heavy as it should be. Overall, service was great, drinks were like a 3/5. I've heard their known for their pizza, so I'll definitely have to come back to try that.

    Stopped in for a bite to eat and a beer on the way to the airport. Food was fresh and the beer was good!

After questioning the price, our Waitperson assured us that the bowl was chuck-full of Corned Beef, as if that alone justified the price! (And what else goes into Rueben soup?) The $4.00 split charge for plates will not entice diners to rush back! We split the wet burrito. The portion size would justify that added cost, but not in this case! I do have to give them a "thumbs up" on the drinks; but the price points on the rest of the menu are certainly not appealing!

I ended up ordering the Roadhouse Burger ($15). This is a 1/2lb black angus burger with chopped bacon, sautéed bourbon onions, haystack onions, garlic herb cheese spread and BBQ sauce on a pretzel bun. The Burger was okay. I really liked all the toppings. My 2 issues were the burger wasn't very juicy, plus meat quality was also only okay. The other was the bun was a little dry, maybe stale. I've had so many better burgers, it wasn't technically bad, just very ehhh. I also upgraded to asparagus ($2.5) as my side. They were cooked properly and tasted very good. A sauce or something would take them to another level. The person I was with ordered the Cajun Bleu Cheese Burger ($15). This is a Cajun seasoned 1/2lb black angus burger served with bacon, mushrooms, and crumbled bleu cheese served on a Kaiser roll. This person actually really enjoyed her Burger. Hers was cooked medium rare while mine was medium, plus different buns, so maybe that made a difference. They were short staffed with only one waitress covering. So she was a little frazzled. However she did a good job and was still friendly in the process. The other issue with this business I had was their website and actual are not the same. The websites menu states on Saturday it's brunch till 3pm them dinner menu at 3pm. We cane at 3pm, because I wanted the pot roast. Nope we are told it's Lunch menu only. If I had known that I probably wouldn't have come here Overall I'll give a 3 star review. It's not a bad place, just not anywhere near my favorite. Would I return? Probably not. If someone else really wanted to go here, then yes otherwise I don't see myself returning.

I had heard that this place had good food, but because the price point was a bit higher than average, I wanted to try it for myself before bringing my family. The service was attentive and friendly. The food, however, did not meet expectations. I found the deviled eggs to be overcooked and a bit rubbery while simultaneously lacking flavor. The presentation was nice but I care more about the taste than how it looks. The Tavern Smash Burger does not seem to know what it wants to be. The patties were thicker than a traditional smash burger, lacking the juiciness of a regular burger while also missing the caramelization of your typical smash patty. The accompanying "Chef's Sauce" for the burger was not particularly flavorful and there was not enough acidic content to counter the fattiness of the burger. The bacon that topped the burger was cubed pieces that were chewy and frankly off-putting, and I found myself wishing for crispy bacon strips instead. All in all, I really wanted to love this place, but I just don't. The food wasn't terrible, but also nowhere near good enough to justify the cost or make me want to stop back in.
