First visit. Service with a smile, backed up by tasty food and beverages! Clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The Reuben sandwich was delicious, every bit as good as the pulled pork. The raspberry cider was a refreshing change of pace. Service was great, prices are fair, parking is easy. I'll be back!

Really great food. Good wait staff. Everyone loved their dishes. I went with the GBC bowl and it was awesome. Highly recommend. Was busy, but no wait on a Saturday night. Outdoor seating available!

Good food and great beer selection. It was quite busy when we arrived mid-afternoon on a Saturday but we were seated quickly in one of the only available high tops. There were also a few seats open at the bar. The restaurant was sadly out of pulled pork and brisket already, so I ordered a fried chicken sandwich. To my pleasant surprise, the food came out quickly despite the restaurant being so busy. Friendly and attentive service. We've stopped here before on road trips to Grand Rapids or Kalamazoo and would gladly return.

The service was very quick. Probably not five minutes between ordering and being served. The BBQ pork sandwich was amazing. It comes plain, and you add the house BBQ sauce. I got the greens with my sandwich, and they were excellent. I asked for some balsamic vinegar for them, and it made them pop. I also ordered the French fries. They were the best ever, better than any fast food place. This is probably the best review I've ever written for a restaurant. The server Jon was the best. He knew what he was talking about and was quick to help. It's slightly expensive, but I'll gladly go back.

Perfect pit stop for lunch on a weekend trip to Saugatuck from Chicago. The Illusion of Power was quite good as were the Joico Wings and fried chicken.

Really great beer, paired well with their side of bacon and mac&cheese. Nice reward after biking from our AirBnb in Harbert.

The appetizers was a great start. Wings are a must get if you like wings. The loaded tots had so much flavor, but they could be a meal on there own. I got grits and shrimp and they didn't disappoint at all. Flavor and texture was amazing. My lady and nephews lady got bacon mac & cheese and they said it was on point. My nephew got the brisket Mac & cheese, the amount of brisket was a generous amount. Food was worth every penny and we will be back.

Very cool atmosphere and brewery. This place was packed on a rainy Saturday and they had no issues serving tables timely. The food is good but not great. My wife and I had the Mac n cheese with brisket. The brisket was a little dry. The snifter of bacon was very good. The beer okay as well. I tried 2 different kinds (Free Parking and 400 Divine Rabbits). Both had enticing flavor profiles but it just didn’t come out in the beer. Overall solid meal and great service, I was just expecting a little more from the beer.

I went for the fried chicken because I have had it in the past and it WAS fantastic. Tonight it was over fried and tasted terrible. I didn't even finish it. My husband had the gumbo and loves it!

Food - 4/5 Service - 3/5 Ambience - 3.5/5 Value - 4/5 Overall a good experience. Their beers are good and they have a good variety on tap and more in bottles for purchase. The food is fantastic, mostly fried bar food so very limited on the healthier options (fried chicken and sliced meats). I would have loved a chicken sandwich that wasn't fried, but that wasn't an option from what I could tell. The hot sauce and bbq sauce were the stars. One of the best bbq sauces I've had. It's small inside and can get a little loud. Our server was nice but after we got our food we didn't see him and had to grab his attention for the bill.

I tried the brisket, pulled chicken, coleslaw, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, potato salad, and beans. The sides were good, though there is a bit of spice in the potatoes and beans, not my preference. The mac is creamy but not much flavor. I did not like the bbq sauces. Lillie's Q is better and you can buy it at the local grocery stores. The brisket and pulled chicken were ok. The breading on the fried chicken was dark and just tasted burnt and salty to me, not great. The hand pies were good, blueberry and apple. I tried the pilsner and red ale, both good. I took a Sunspot home, just ok. Friendly service. I asked for mild hot sauce and I guess I was supposed to ask for no heat sauce. Mild is level 2 and is way too hot for me. An acquired taste I guess. I was overcharged on my bill. That should always be checked before it is brought to the table. When you walk in, there is no host but there is a counter, where a host would normally be in a restaurant. I guess you check in at the bar? I was waiting a bit before anyone noticed I was there. There is no sign saying either way if you should wait for someone or check in elsewhere.

We came for what we wanted to be a quick lunch and it took 90 minutes, so just beware if you're stopping on your way out of town. Only after we ordered were we told that the fried chicken would take about 25 minutes. 50 minutes later, after having to ask about what was going on, we were finally served near-burnt, under-seasoned chicken. One of our party ordered all dark meat and was served all white meat because they were out of dark meat, but that wasn't communicated to us until the food was literally being passed from the server. By the time we got our food we were all much too hungry to risk ordering something else and having to wait even longer. I'd definitely ask about timing before you order the chicken and if the business is reading this, talk to your wait staff about mitigating expectations and communicating with their tables clearly and often- this was an easily preventable issue.

I remember what Sawyer was before Greenbush, so I can confidently say that Greenbush saved Sawyer. And made the entire area so fun! For this, I love Greenbush. It brought a whole new crowd to the area and gave it some life. The beer here is great. I got a flight today and was a fan of their Hefeweizen and their Oatmeal Stout. They taste fresh and classic. Great with lunch. Their food is also great! I ordered their hot chicken sandwich (I believe it was called the Americana). It was HOT so be prepared! I ordered a level 3 spice and it had me sweating. I love spicy food so it really hit the spot. All of their sides are tasty, but I'm a particular fan of tots and potato salad. Would recommend coming here with friends to catch up or start a night out. The ambiance is cozy and inviting. Would highly recommend.

This place is a "must visit" in SW Michigan Great beer selection and super food Gets packed on the weekends and in the summer but it worth it

All boxes checked with no complaints. Both of our meals were delicious and worthy of reordering. We went for the food only so could only speak on the food and not the brews. They seemed to have endless, though.

We really enjoy this place and have been several times since my initial review. This time we tried the GBC Bowl and the Muffaletta. The bowl was tasty but had a very scant amount of chicken in it which was disappointing. The Muffuletta was large and packed with stuff. The ham in there was so fatty we took it off. That made it significantly better. Might want to add a little more oil or something as the olive salad was a tad dry. Fries are always great. For an interesting bite try a pickled egg.

Joan M.

Yelp
Love it. Rustic look, easy vibe. Great food especially the ribs. I know I've never regretted my choice, and I've been here probably 4 times. Whenever staying in SW MI it's on my list. I'm Not a beer connoisseur, I've had the ones around 5.0 alc level and they were pleasant. I'm writing many months after my last visit so sorry this seems vague.

Super chill brewery in Harbor Country. All the beers we've tried are excellent, but the food is delicious as well. Service is always top notch and super friendly and helpful with navigating the beer menu. They have a fun store with craft foods and trinkets attached, highly recommend checking it out!

Phenomenal. The staff (and owner) could be friendlier but the food and service is amazing. The BBQ is authentic and delicious. The chili is UNREAL. Definitely a must stop when you are in the area.

This cozy little brewery in Michigan is a must go. We enjoyed the small town vibes. Very happy I could order a flight and try the beers which were tasty! Food was very good too! I really liked the blue cheese dip.

Pretty good food overall. When we got there, we were given a limited menu, as we were told that the power was out in the kitchen. They let us look at the limited menu before we were seated, which was nice.

Amazing! I was 2 months in a nearby Airbnb and I certainly learned why this is the local's favorite. Highlights for me were the BBQ Sandwich (I chose brisket which was the perfect blend of wonderfully tasty and not too fatty) with a side of Mac & Cheese and the GB Red Ale (I forget its name and they rotate their beers anyway). I'd skip the Bacon Biscuit in future (it was fine, but everything else is great so why bother with it, choose another option). Meal with a Pint came to about $30 before tip, but it was certainly worth it.

Just off the highway on the way from Chicago to Michigan. We were worried there would be a wait on a Oct Friday at 12:30 - but we got right in. Service was lightening fast - (we got our food about 5 mins after we ordered it...almost TOO fast really). I say this only because lots of other Yelpers complain about the slow/lack of service. Maybe it is a seasonal issue. Hubby got the beef brisket sandwich with beans, I got the turkey bacon melt, our friend got the cuban sandwich. We also ordered the mac and cheese with hot giardinera. (spicy!) I would like a little more pride in the way my sandwich was assembled - it was just sloppy with a lot of turkey on one side and very little on the other. I adjusted it. I ordered coleslaw, but got potato salad - which was no problem and I did not point it out to our server. Hubby's sandwich was GINORMOUS!. There was as much meat spilling out of the sandwich as inside it. The mac and cheese was good and plentiful. There were a lot of workers not doing much - but the owner was having some sort of meeting with 2 other workers a a table in the dining room, so I am sure he is all over it. Lots of fun t-shirts for sale - but of course the one I wanted - they didn't have in my size (likely also seasonal, they stock up for summer, and by Fall are picked over)

The food was absolutely extraordinary! I was super excited to try the GBC bowl & strawberry rhubarb hand pie... they both exceeded my expectations! Textures & flavors 12/10

GoodBeerWins is an excellent motto for this friendly brew pub. Stopped in on the drive from Detroit to Chicago, totally luck of the draw, and sometimes you hit the jackpot. IPAs are top-notch, and the made-from-scratch pub grub is outstanding. Hand-breaded chicken tenders set a high bar, and the beet & quinoa salad can feed a king's royal guard. Bartenders, even during peak hours brought food surprisingly quickly with a friendly greeting. Great place!

My boyfriend and I do a camping trip each year with friends, and always look at places to check out before we go. We usually try to find places with breweries and activities nearby, so Greenbush was on our list for our camping trip to nearby Warren Dunes State Park. We arrived mid-afternoon on a Saturday in May 2021 and there was a 30-40 minute wait. We asked if there was anything to do in the immediate area and they said they couldn't serve us beer while we waited, but we could check out the home and garden store behind the brewery. This turned out to be a great option! Check out my review of Sawyer's Garden Center. It was wonderful. We only ended up waiting about 30 minutes. We were seated near the bar in the taproom and a server came by right away. We ordered a couple flights to try the beer and my boyfriend and I split a 2 meat BBQ platter with brisket, smoked chicken, greens, and curly fries. Our friends ordered a BBQ brisket sandwich to share with pork and beans. Our food all came out super fast! The portions of meat were generous and delicious. Brisket is my go-to baseline order for any BBQ place, and this didn't disappoint. It was a nice ratio of lean to fatty pieces and had a nice bark on it. The smoked chicken was more subdued in flavor but juicy. The curly fries were excellent: seasoned well, perfectly fried, and hot. The greens were lacking. They didn't have any seasoning unfortunately, but were cooked well. They provided two sauces, a red BBQ and a mustard based sauce. The mustard based sauce is always my go-to for BBQ and theirs was delicious! I believe you can buy bottles to take home. They also sell growlers and beer to go. I enjoyed this place and would probably come back to try more food! There aren't many options for vegetarians or vegans.

It's not everyday when your server reads your mind and somehow knows what you want. Portions are generous, food is very good and fulfilling. It's a very relaxed banter bar atmosphere. On Saturday afternoon, the place was almost full, but not too crowded.

This place goes a bit downhill every year. At one time the food was spectacular and the service was decent. The place had a quirky fun vibe. Now there are LOTS OF RULES and you are greeted by a sign that tells you to wear a shirt and shoes (it's law, no need for a sign) and some healthy virtue signaling. You can't take food to this patio, there is no service on that patio, this is table service, that is walk up.... Spare me. Also, I was sold an "italian beef" that looks like a sandwich for a old ladies day at Chikaming Country Club. It had a few slices of meat and a spoonfull of giardinera. Anybody who has been to Al's, Charlies, etc... knows an Italian Beef is a whopper, piled high with beef, peppers, onion, and optional cheese. It makes a giant mess.

Yelp
Very convenient to find outdoor patio seating on a weeknight. My kids loved the kids meal of mac and cheese and the tater tot sides. The kids meal with chicken tenders came with one piece of chicken and tons of tater tots. The seafood gumbo was flavored just right with lots of chicken shrimp and sausage. The rice was slightly undercooked and crunchy but otherwise I loved the gumbo broth. The brisket was delicious. I'd love to come back and try more bbq!

Gary H.

Yelp
Reviews rave about the brisket, and with good reason -- done to perfection, tender, moist, and flavorful. We enjoyed it in a couple different combinations, and enjoyed them all. Barbecue sauces are served on the side at the table; we tried three that were excellent. So was the side of greens and the pickle. On the other hand, the grits were just okay and the kettle chips? -- out of a bag. Service was also okay, friendly but ill-trained. Also, when you ask for water you're oddly directed to a self-serve station. I started this as a three-star rating, but I just changed it because I already want to go back for more brisket.

Adam O.

Yelp
Never had a bad experience here. Just know that during peak times there is usually a wait but it's worth it. Great food, beer, atmosphere, and service. The loaded tots were enjoyed by all. Kids loved the outer ones with just cheese but the adults enjoyed the inner tots with the meats and jalapeños on them. As for beer, flights are the way to start with plenty of tasty opportunities and there are way too many to not try a few. The brisket po' boy was ridiculously good and filling. I liked the mashed and gravy for the side but the potato salad is not a bad option either. Our party also had the Reuben which had "very good pastrami" and the gumbo "which was very good with just the right amount of spice." The kid's Mac n cheese with chips was devoured by both kids and our oldest liked the pulled pork sandwich "which was second only to Sweet Baby Rays.

Yelp
So I came in on a work trip for an early dinner. Service was ok, I kind of felt like I was an outsider and regulars were getting the love. The food came out hot and fresh and was better than expected for a brewery. I tried several of the beers which were better than average but only had one which I would consider a stand out, the Party Wolf. Wish the nitro was not cashed but maybe next time.

Alice T.

Yelp
Service was extremely poor, when the waiter asked for our drink order, my sister asked for a taste of their lager. The waiter rolled his eyes and sighed and returned with a small sample of the beer and the two drinks my friend and I had ordered. He never came back though he walked past us twice empty handed. We stopped another waitress and asked if she would please take our order in which she happily did. But when my fried chicken came out it was clearly over cooked/ burnt! I brought it to her attention immediately to which she replied that's the way it always looks. Then the original waiter comes over to tell us he was busy with another customer which was why he didn't come back to take our order and then said " for future reference I should order my chicken differently " ? What like NOT BURNT? There is no future for Greenbush with me!

Chris B.

Yelp
Have been a fan of the star chicken shotgun beer for years. We rarely get to the restaurant and had a chance a few weeks ago. They were pretty busy and it was about an hour before closing time. While it took a few minutes to get noticed and be seated, the BBQ was excellent and plentiful. We left very full with a hefty to go box.

Yelp
Greenbush was great - but special thanks to Kristi! She was incredibly warm and welcoming and knowledgeable about all the food and beers. We would have enjoyed our visit anyway - but Kristi made it above & beyond. Thanks, Greenbush! Thanks, Kristi! I definitely recommend making a stop while in Southwestern Mich.

Green Bush, has amazing Beer, however, their BBQ is incredible. I am enjoying a wonderful pulled pork sandwich paired with GB's Illusion of Power pale ale. Life is Good! Love the homemade blue cheese dressing on my side salad! A wonderful stop just off of 94. Take the Sawyer exit and head south over the train tracks. Check out the garden market next to the the Green Bush Brewery tap rooms. BTW, despite the Biden's economy, the prices are still friendly. My 5 stars go for very high quality craft beer, great brew pub food selection, and very kind & efficient staff!

Adam S.

Yelp
What to say. This was our second time eating here, and just no good. The staff is friendly and fine, atmosphere is pub and that's fine, but the food is blah. I have had the fried chicken both times we ate here. I thought maybe the first time was just bad luck. Nope. We got the whole bird. It was all fried dredge and very little meat. Also it was rock hard once again and super dark. Almost burnt. Same as last time. The max and cheese was bland and needed a ton of seasoning. I'm sure the other menu items are good. Sandwiches that were ordered at our table were liked by the eaters. I would just recommend .... DO NOT ORDER THE FRIED CHICKEN. Go with something else all together.

we ordered the brisket and hot links, we received chicken and brisket and more than 1/2 FAT! We told the waitress and said she would let the cook know.

BBQ dishes were okay. Service was okay. Our server must have been having a bad day as she never returned to see if everything okay. Flagging down a busboy was easy enough to get utensils to eat with. This place packs them in on the weekends. We were told by friends to come on an off night everything will be better

Wow! What a great spot for excellent beer and PLENTY of good barbecue! We stopped in shortly after it opened recently on a mid-week day. Lunch was fabulous! Austin was our friendly, highly efficient and knowledgeable server. He suggested a taproom flight since we we not familiar with this Michigan brew. So glad we ordered accordingly because one beer was better than the next! We ordered side salads (small and fresh) with our huge 3 meat barbecue plate. House sauces are available. They're good too! We finished with fresh baked strawberry-rhubarb pie. It was a win! Prices are reasonable. You'll leave full because portions are big. Great beer!

Good food, a bit crowded in summer. Not a good fit if you're in a hurry. Very generous portions. Food A service A but slow to get seated, ambiance A- a bit scruffy in the overflow annex. Bbq chicken and pork. A+, chicken tenders A,, grilled cheese BLT B+, 1/2 chicken B*, gumbo A . Cornbread A+, bacon biscuit C+ dry and hard, potato salad B+. Hand pie strawberry rhubarb A++. Very touristy place. Rustic - waitress hands you a bundle of silverware and napkins for the whole table.

Had a great dinner at Greenbush the other night. Casual joint but both the food and the beer are fantastic. The pub cheese (served with pretzels) was a great starter. We also had a BLT, mac and cheese, and some fried chicken. Everything tasted great. They have a small outdoor patio for dining as well indoor seating. Can't wait to go back.

Cheers to this place for having some pretty amazing beers. Of note to try is the Sunspot Hefeweizen Ale and the blueberry stout.

Kendall M.

Yelp
I was quite disappointed in this place. However, our waitress was fantastic, patient and kind. She has nothing to do with this review! Upon a close friend's recommendation we stopped into Greenbush for lunch. The owner had quite a nasty note written at the host stand. I am all for COVID safety measures, but the note was uncouth and vulgar; threatening even. We were seated outdoors in some of the most uncomfortable patio furniture I've ever experienced- my bum had imprints from the patterned metal. The train went by....and boy was it loud. And it went on forever! I asked how many times a day this occurs and the answer was just twice- we had unlucky timing to say the least. My ears were ringing for the remainder of the lunch. I think it would be cute to do kind of a "celebration of the train" where the staff comes around and does a big cheers!! Maybe even a small discount on the next round? I am not exaggerating when I tell you we were ABOSLUELY swarmed with bees for the entire duration of our lunch. They need to figure something out. Bees were landing on us, on our food, in our drinks- everywhere! Not a pleasant dining experience whatsoever. This place is a brewery but I was still disappointed that they didn't have wine or liquor. Nevertheless I still enjoyed my cider. The Mac & Cheese here has rave reviews, but personally, I didn't find it that great. It was good, with crunchy bread crumbs on top, but not memorable for me. The cauliflower crust pizza was quite interesting. I tend to prefer more thin crusted, flavorful cauliflower crusts, and this one was thick, puffy and very closely resembled a regular dough. If that's your thing, I highly recommend this crust. I did, however, think it was odd that our waitress mentioned "It's just from Sysco" I've read some horrible notes from other patrons about the manager/owner here, as they were physically and verbally assaulted because of the mask policy. While I realize this is a sensitive subject, I am happy we didn't have an interaction with him. Sounds to me like he's using the mask up policy as a platform to flaunt his chauvinistic attitude and anger management issues. Regardless of your COVID stance, no restaurant staff member should act this way. The rest of our group seemed to like the food, this just won't be on my go-to list in the future.

10/10 would recommend! Huge beer and food menus! We decided on flights since we couldn't decide on one. Flights pricing depends on which individual beers you select as your 4. I'd recommend the flight for your first time, you couldn't go wrong with any. All the beers we tried were great! The food was amazing! My boyfriend got the bowl with mashed potatoes, corn, fried chicken, gravy, and cheese. He said it was extremely filling but amazing. I got the deli caprese sandwich and kettle chips. It was equally good but also very filling. Overall a must spot! Bring your appetite!

Service was GREAT! Food was delicious. Portions were big. Fried pork rinds were awesome. Make sure to try the pickled eggs. We loved them.

Rebecca P.

Yelp
If I could give 0 stars I would for the food. We ordered a brisket sandwich, Mac and cheese, pulled pork, and an Americana. The brisket was super tough and the sandwich fell apart. The tater tot side was disgusting too. The tots were still cold on the inside. The Mac and cheese was nothing to write home about. The pulled pork was very dry. Then the americana was over cooked chicken and fell apart like the brisket sandwich. The beer was decent at best, but nothing really special going on with it. The waitress was fine, but all the other issues bring this down a lot. Nothing was wrong with our service, but the food was disgusting.

Tom A.

Yelp
I'm a longtime supporter of Greenbush. I've been a Mug Club Member for years. I LOVE the food - or at least I did. The first few years, I'd brave the lines during tourist season, wait 90 minutes or more to be seated, and hope the brisket wasnt already sold out. I'd even take colleagues who didnt drink any alcohol, for which Greenbush drink options are exceedingly limited, and tell them to suck it up because the food was worth it. The past 3 or 4 years, I gave up on waiting during the prime season, and only came off season, but damn, if the food wasn't great. So now you know my background and how tough this review is for me. But, beside watching Greenbush's success go to their collective heads, and beside the prices which have skyrocketed, now the food is beyond bad. I took 3 colleagues there. We ordered two beers each, plus a full slab of ribs each. Memphis style, dry rub ribs. It was over $190 before the tip. Wow. The ribs were not only poorly cooked - I run a smoker, and have cooked ribs 100+ times, they were tasteless and came off a steam table. No smoke. Meat wouldn't separate from the bones (which means the fat and muscle didn't render or cook correctly). The "dry rub" was a caked on glop of spice. As if you mixed grainy spice in water and painted it on. No flavor at all really, and no real way to eat it if you could. 3 racks undercooked, one was cooked right, but all were barely warm and soggy. Sure they added a fryer (Why?!) and expanded the menu, but the food is now officially awful. Gone are the sauces made in house, replaced by bottled sauces with a similar recipe, but not true to their origins. For years they did the food right, the beer was decent, the music was loud, and the crowd was eclectic. Now, I'd rather get Arby's commercially smoked brisket and a forty ounce to go. I don't know if they changed owners, or cooks, or Brew masters. I don't know if their expanding self-confidence inflated their heads so much they exploded and now cannot taste their own food. What I do know is it will be a really long time before I forget how awful the food has become and I venture back to Sawyer and Greenbush Breewing. I couldn't be more disappointed in what used to be such an outstanding place I would direct strangers to go there. Talk about a fall from grace!

We didn't have a reservation, but they were able to accommodate a family of 7. I ordered the chicken tenders and cornbread and got 3 medium size tenders and one muffin sized corn bread. The food was pretty good except we were attacked by flies. Would probably rate higher if not for the fact that my daughter became adopted into a fly clan. Another person jn our party ordered the gumbo and that is a not recommend. There was so much salt that you could kill a slug by kissing it.

Norm J.

Yelp
What a great place to stop while driving up and down Western Michigan. The beer was good. The selection plenty. We ordered meals with brisket and chicken. The chicken was dry but the brisket made up for it. The server was exceptional, covering the entire eating area with help from one bartender. First time I ever saw an auto kitchen gratuity added to a check and before the tax. The ambiance is rustic cool. The restrooms a bit rustic too.

This was another vacation spot we tried. There are two separate buildings and a tent in the middle, and each area kind of has its own vibe and theme. We were in the Annex on the right and the decor was a lot different than expected from the outside, but it was a fun little place. The bathrooms and a couple of other areas were old, but everything seemed clean. The food offerings are right down my alley. Fried chicken, BBQ, curly fries, tots, coleslaw, etc. All of our food was great and the portions were generous. Prices were also reasonable which is big for me. Everyone in our party liked their beer, and the raspberry cider I had was great. Service was great as well. There is also a shop inside with merch and trinkets, along with a deli and fridges where you can purchase some of their beer. I would definitely eat the food here again and would recommend stopping here if you're in the area. I actually looked to buy some of the cider but they did not have any. :( We will return if we are ever near Sawyer again!

Disappointed that they refused to let us sit at bar which had many empty seats. We went across street to Sideyard which were glad to have our business and where we spent lots of money on other beers than Greenbush. Had been here previously, but will likely not return.
