    We were on our way back from a color tour and this place was perfect! Great location . Great atmosphere! Friendly staff and the most delicious smash burger I’ve ever had! The pinball games were so much fun. We will be back! Thank you !!

    I hate to knock the food down a star; the smash burgers are great! It's hard to go wrong with beer and burgers! However, I personally hate kettle chips with my sandwiches, and when I upgraded to the fries, they tasted like 'lays bbq chips' seasoning and I wasn't a fan. For the price, I was just bummed I didn't get a side I enjoyed. I really wish they had a decent ranch, it could've saved the fries 😅 The staff are always absolutely lovely, the last time we went it must have been homecoming(?) And even though they were getting slammed, they still served us with big smiles.

    This is an excellent place outside of the normal everyone in Michigan should at least go to at least once in their life well worth it it takes a little while to get the food but then however the taste was just simply amazing out of everything we had ordered plight and generous staff as well as a very clean warm inviting environment I recommend this to everyone!

    Cool atmosphere. Burger was OK at best. Wife's chicken sandwich was extremely over cooked, so much so that I had to pull out my pocket knife to cut the hard edges off so she could eat some of it. After waiting 40 min to get our food we weren't about to send it back and wait again. We just won't go back. The young lady's working there were great and friendly.

    We came here with high hopes when our daughter visited from Arkansas, however, we were disappointed. The service was mediocre at best and we waited 46 minutes for our food from when we ordered it. When we asked for an update, there was no apology but only, "it's going to be a while" even though she didn't even know when we had ordered it since it is all done at the counter. They asked for tips....for what? The burgers had a good flavor but were very greasy, the fries were over cooked and you had to pay $3 extra for them and no one ever asked how things were, then you bus your own table. Unfortunately, we will not be returning to this place.
