    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
    Mark D.

    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.

    Spinach and artichoke dip

    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.

    Menu as of 7/26/24

    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
    Andy B.

    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!

Coming from someone who loves a hoppy IPA and an amber, they combined my two worlds into one. So, it was a natural easy love. For my next, I went with their "Blinky's Black IPA" which was good but got more a weak porter feel than IPA. Like I said, it was good and I'd drink it again but with that expectation. FOOD: I went with an olive burger with be try fresh and real ingredients. The burger itself was full of flavor; add the rest of it and it was phenomenal. If I had to complain about something, I could have used a touch more olive sauce. Now the egg roll... I went with the "Guava the Hutt". I'll just say, I ordered two to go in hopes I can resurrect them in the air fryer later. The back half of the building is a pickleball area and the front half is the brewery and restaurant. Very cool look as they have a few shipping containers as sitting areas. Plenty of seating where I didn't feel jammed in. Also, a few arcade games. The service was friendly but know that it is minimal as you will order from the QR code at your table and order drinks at the bar. Definitely worth checking out and plan on returning.

The bartender was our server, and she was kind and helpful. When deciding between two pizzas, she pointed us toward the one with ranch after she learned I love ranch. It might be one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten. We had the Double Pep S.B. It was thin and crispy, with extra-crispy pepperoni and my dream ranch drizzled on it. It was so good, and we ate every bite. My hubby had a cider while I had a flight, so I could try many of their beers. There were so many flavors that I wanted to try, but I settled on the following for my flight: Lovely Day, Party Store, Wildflower, Super Juice Blood Orange, and Fiddle Stix. I couldn't pick a favorite between Lovely Day, Party Store, and Wildflower. The Super Juice flavor I picked was blood orange, but they had many other options that I would try if I lived there. We almost came back to eat and drink a second time since we don't live here, but resisted.

Was told you can only order a beer if you are waitlisted for a table and you must sit at a patio orange hightop - def not at an empty patio table.

It arrived with ranch instead. Apparently someone cannot appropriately plan for their busiest night. The pizza was mid at best. Not horrible but cannot recommend based on the many other issues. Dine at your own risk.

The staff were friendly and we appreciated "The Library" filled with games and books. I was nostalgic and read Hunter's Guide to 1996 Michigan complete with a recommendation to stop at the now obsolete Pleasure Island Water Park. That used to be my absolute favorite getaway as a kid! We ordered arancini as a starter that came out tasting crisp like a tator tot, but the shape and taste actually reminded me more of a fried tteokbokki (Korean rice noodle) known for its deliciousness through its texture highlighting the spicy sauce. This would've been amazing had they had a nice gochujang mayo combo to dip this crispy treasure in, rather than ranch and pizza sauce. Next we tried the tikka masala pizza. Fun and inventive idea... much better than the naan pizza I had in Muskegon... however the sauce didn't taste as good as my homemade tikka masala base and though the pizza was tasty with varied texture, we found it somewhat lacked seasoning especially on the protein. If I were to construct it, instead of potato I would've had chicken, red pepper, cilantro, fresh avocado and pickled onion. Yum! To drink, I enjoyed a refreshing ginger Kombucha sourced from Walker Brothers in Nashville Tennessee. The kids loved their cheese pizza and cheese smash burger with fries and drinks. Overall, great first experience and would love to come back as it seems like they are constantly reinventing themselves with tasty morsels and brews. If you come, there is free parking in the back. If you love it here there is a $150 lifetime membership (not sure what that all entails but sounds special). Thanks 7 Monks, we will be back!

As soon as you walk in, there are games, chips for sale, and a water cooler with reusable cups. The place was busy. Many folks eating and drinking. There were two seats at the bar, both on either side of a young lady; so I asked if I could take one and she said yes! As it turned out, she was an off duty employee just having a beer. We chatted a bit while I ordered a flight. I love that the flight is not limited. You can have as many 2.5 ounce beers as you want! Each are priced separately. I perused the food menu and checked out the merch. Sadly they did not have the tshirt I liked in my size. They also sell beanies, glassware and hoodies. Oh, and beer to go! I enjoyed the two IPAs with Good Good being my fave, followed by IPA#1. The porter was good and so was the Kona brown. The fade was my least fave, and it pretty much tasted like Guinness, but I did drink it all. I have preferences but I also have values! Lol. The off duty employee and I chatted awhile, even looping in the bar tender and my other bar stool neighbor, especially when it came down to naming the artists on the decorative candles (see pic). We were having so much fun that we decided on her having another beer and me getting a couple more samples. The Mosacca IPA was really good. The Economy, gotta love the name, was also good and the most affordable beer! Look at them looking out for the people. Loved this place. The locals are friendly.

The Kona Brown a solid brown coffee ale. In my opinion, that is a pretty big miss for a brewery. And I didn't love any of them.
