I tried the muffuletta sandwich here and was quite happy with it. Admittedly I’ve had better versions of sandwich before, but I was pleased with this one and it wasn’t too filling. It was packed with flavor. The menu has a lot of good sounding items that I’d like to try sometime, and I’m a sucker for Louisiana creole food. The interior was warm and inviting, and the staff was reasonably friendly. I was happy with my experience.

New experience. Random choice for dinner. A bar situation. Great choice of craft brews. Bartender, Zach was extremely personable and very helpful with the extensive menu. My son and I both opted for the creole dishes. Gumbo and red beans and rice with honey buttered corn bread. Both were excellent. Great overall experience. Highly recommend.

Tried this place for the first time last night and was very pleased! We ordered the classic burger with potato chips, the creole fettuccine, and the red beans and rice for pick up. We really enjoyed all of it! Service was friendly over the phone and in person, the prices were very reasonable for a quality and delicious meal. They also package their food well for to-go orders so your food keeps warm without getting condensation sogginess on the drive home. This place feels like a neighborhood hole in the wall spot on the outside, and surprises you with a warm, comfortable, and historic feel when you walk in. Everything seemed clean, and comfortable. I will def be back to dine-in. Great food and experience with the best red beans and rice in the city- easily!

Former patron (moved out of state) and former employee. The food hooked me, the atmosphere got me to stay. Absolutely fantastic menu that captures the essence of Cajun flavor with a Midwestern twist. Always a great selection of draft beers from around the globe (with a special emphasis on highlighting Michigan brews). The staff is top notch. There are special events all the time and they have a great selection of bar games available. Perfect 7/5, would recommend to anyone.

Gabby was our bartender & server. She was friendly & knew the menu items. After trying some yummy appetizers, settled on the Monday special: Pizza 🍕 w/ looked a bit dark on the edges, yet was tender & chewy. A hearty sauce, 3 toppings of choice, really good cheese; Provolone & mozzarella - heavenly! Was getting busy on a snowy game night. I was DD, so no booze, which is a shame bc the bar is well stocked.

Amazing spot to hang out! They have a pool table, darts, ping pong, a golf sim game, some board games, several booths and tables, and of course a bar. Very comfy atmosphere, amazingly friendly waitstaff, and the food and drinks are always so good! My hubby is a southerner and says the southern inspired dishes aren't /exactly/ on par with their southern counterparts, but they're still pretty delicious! 😉 We both love the pizza! And their burgers are always a win. We recommend this place to all of our friends and family frequently!

We recently held our company party (Klingman's Furniture & Design) at the Rez Lounge, and it was an absolute hit! We booked the entire space for about 60 people, and it was perfect—spacious, inviting, and well-organized. The food was fantastic, and they went above and beyond to accommodate our staff with dietary restrictions, ensuring everyone had something delicious to eat. Plenty of parking made arrival easy, and the staff was an absolute delight—attentive, friendly, and professional. A special shoutout to Madison, who was an incredible communicator and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. He made everything seamless, and it was truly a joy to work with him. Rezevoir Lounge is now a staple on my list for future dinner parties and events. Highly recommend!

I went for a social event hosted here, and it was such a wonderful atmosphere and space. They had many different drinks and the food was delicious. I love that the kitchen didn’t close until 10:45. The staff was super accommodating, even when our group was there until close. Definitely coming back!

It was my first time here and I had a great experience! The staff was very attentive to our needs checking in on us multiple times throughout the evening. I had the creole fettuccine which was so tasty! My friends had the vegan/regular jambalaya and red beans and rice. They all enjoyed their food and said they would come back here again. I appreciate how spacious it is and all the seating areas. They have a full bar and a couple pool tables I'll have to check out next time!

Zach F.

Yelp
Food is absolutely amazing. The red beans and rice was the highlight. Gumbo was also really good and so were the fritters. Great bar service and excellent happy hour on Friday.

A cool dive type bar with a really nice space! No reservations or anything needed for a Thursday evening dinner. We sat right down at a table towards the front of the restaurant. It was a really hot day outside and we were right by the window and had the sun beating down on us for a bit so I do wish we picked a different table but that was our own fault. Server was quick and attentive and so so friendly. He really made the dining experience that much better. They have an event space here as well and I think they had some type of mixer going on so the music was pretty loud but not a huge worry for us. Just had to talk a little louder to converse. We had the chorizo dip as our app and it comes with pita chips with some really good seasoning on it. Loved this dip. I would get this again and it was a good sized portion. They have a really unique menu with all of their New Orleans/Creole inspired dishes so it was hard to pick but I went with the muffuletta since you truly don't see that anywhere else around here. It was good! Loved the olive spread on it. The chips with it were good as well. Free large parking lot behind the restaurant/strip it's in and you can enter the restaurant from the back. Didn't love that a young boy came in from outside trying to sell us candy while we were eating.

Stopped in for trivia with friends. Trivia was a blast! Food was good. Temp inside was HOT . Service was a little slow, perhaps due to busyness of trivia night. Had to ask for water (with my paid beverage) several times. Water was dropped at the table in a carafe so everyone could refill when they wanted. I got the shrimp tacos YUM Parking is super convenient in a lot behind the bar. will check it out again.

Closest thing to Cajun/creole in GR. This is a very good thing. Oh, and the pizza and beer selection is great as well.

Decent pizza and a low-key vibe makes this a great space for the Creston neighborhood. It's great for dining in or carry out.

Went to watch some football at a bar. This food was grand slam! Highly suggest visiting this spot. Canjan fritters are some of the best in west Michigan.

First time visiting Rez Lounge last weekend and I already cannot wait to go back! Snagged a cozy booth on a busy Saturday night and had the best time enjoying the classic atmosphere and amazing food. Highly recommend the Bleu Bayou Burger (now one of my favorite burgers in the state), Shrimp Po' Boy, and Cajun Fritters (the Sriracha Ranch dipping sauce is to die for).

Yelp
I recently talked to a friend about their food. I had been there years ago and wasn't a fan. Since they have a new chef is my understanding. My friend raved about the food and said everyone needs to go! I know I am going to! Give it a chance!

Nicole W.

Yelp
I've been going regularly for trivia nights on Tuesday and I've really enjoyed the experience. All of the different food items I've had have been solid, with the exception of one time having a pizza whose crust was over cooked to the point of having a charcoal bottom. I just ate more toppings and fewer carbs that night :) If I had one constructive criticism to offer, I'd like to see some barrel aged drafts on rotation. That's my favorite category of beer and I've yet to see any on in the seven months I've been going regularly.

Heather B.

Cajun Fritters were amazing. Ambience is laid back & fun. Really neat dive bar. Love the games - chess, pool, ping pong, darts. Staff is friendly, our bartender Faith was so personable and attentive. Excellent

I've been coming to the Rez lounge for ~5 years now. The pizza is excellent (my favorite in the city), the atmosphere is great and I've never had poor service. I've met the owner in the restaurant before and he clearly cares about his food and his staff. Recommended!

Hidden gem. The inside restaurant is cozy and warm when you enter on a cold day. Service was very friendly and helpful with recommendation since my first visit. Plan to go back.

I chose this restaurant because they offered at least one vegan option and I liked the casual warehousy look. I knew my friend visiting from Oregon would like it as well and I wasn't wrong. We started with the Deep Fried Brussels Sprouts minus the bacon and Parmesan cheese and it was tasty. I ordered the Vegan Jambaylaya and he ordered the Creole Fettuccine with shrimp. The jambalaya was made with Nutcase sausage and was delicious. My friend practically licked his plate so when he said it was really good I guess he meant it!! We had several drinks which we both agreed were VERY weak which is why I gave it four starts rather than five.

Kyle V.

Yelp
First time checking out the Rez and I was impressed! From the street it looks like some tiny little dive bar, but that's definitely not the case. We stopped by for some drinks and an appetizer around 11pm and there were a lot of empty tables. They have big TVs, games, great food, and a solid drink list. Our waiter Kyle was very friendly and kept us happy while we hung out. Our friends ordered traditional cocktails while my wife and I opted for the beer list. A two page Michigan beer list was very inviting. We also shared some chicken nachos that were very good but the IPA sour cream was a little strange. Overall, definitely a cool low key place to hangout!

I really enjoyed our dinner here. My husband was lukewarm on it. The restaurant itself is pretty nice inside, I liked that the 2 person tables were more spacious than typical ones. I thought the creole fettuccini was really yummy. I thought it could use a bit more Cajun flavoring/spices. It tasted pretty much like normal fettuccini. I loved the cornbread with their honey butter drizzled over it. Halfway through, I thought it got a bit dry, but that honey makes it so much better. The gumbo was also tasty. It wasn't overly spiced like most gumbos I've had. Highly recommend! My husband ordered the red beans and rice which I didn't taste since I'm not a fan of that kind of dish typically. As a dry person, I rate all bars on their availability of Shirley Temples. Happy to report they indeed serve them here. Bonus for the TWO cherries I received in my drink.

A chill neighborhood hang out. Most local draft beers are $5/pint and they always have a decent selection. Generally friendly service in my experience. Good bar food. Double emphasis on bar. Legit sweet potato fries and cheesy bread sticks. I wouldn't make this my dinner destination but it's a great place to meet up with friends for drinks and snacks!

Kat F.

Yelp
We were so glad this place opened back up after quarantine! The pizza is amazing and the specialties are unique too. A little creole flare in the jambalaya and creole fettuccine is one of my favs too. Their home made cornbread drizzled in honey is the perfect side to anything and the henhouse chicken tenders deserve a shout out too! The staff is pretty friendly and sometimes inconsistent so the dishes aren't always exactly the same and that's ok by me!

We had a really great experience. We brought a group of 9 to celebrate my daughters 21st birthday. They set up a table ahead and took really great care of us. The food was fantastic and there was a lot of options. Service was amazing. Plenty to do (pool, darts, ping pong). Highly recommend for a group.

I recommend checking out this blink-and-you'll-miss-it restaurant located north of the city. We went there during the restaurant week and it was a great deal. We did the two for $28 deal which got us 2 entrees and 2 deserts and everything was delicious. The vibe of the place was a little strange. There were 2 rooms one of which was way louder than the other even though there were about the same number of people in each room. There was also a ping pong table which looked in a pretty bad shape. Although the food was good, I think it was a little pricey if it wasn't for the restaurant week deal. If you're in the area and are in the mood of good beer and good food then check out this place. There are equal if not better options in the city.

I might not have given Rezervoir Lounge five stars, but the service put this review over the edge. We had such a great time, along with terrific food and impeccable service! Who expects a five-star server at a lounge/bar? Well, go to Rezervoir and you won't be disappointed! We had one vegetarian, one vegan, and a few carnivores in our party, and while the Rez menu definitely accommodates vegetarians, it's not the world's most creative vegan menu, but Josh to the rescue! Thanks, Josh, for recommending just the right things to order to create the perfect meal! (I never even noticed the vegetable skewers until Josh suggested them!) It is great when a server knows the menu inside and out and is willing to ask questions and make recommendations. We all loved what we ordered, and the beer suggestions were right on target with our selections. The atmosphere is really nice at Rezervoir -- not just in the dining area, but in general. The vibe we got was of a place where staff members are really nice people who clearly love their jobs and want to make their customers happy, and our server did just that. We'll be making the Rezervoir Lounge a destination every time we're in the area.

Amazing! Best BLT ever! I recommend 100%. Love the chill atmosphere and the wait staff and bartenders are always friendly, attentive and helpful.

The Rezervoir is a hidden Grand Rapids Gem. I loved their craft beer selection and they had some really good Cajun options. I had the shrimp PoBoy sandwich and Cajun fritters. The atmosphere was laid back and creative and there was an eclectic crowd there. I'm looking forward to trying more options!

Laura M.

Yelp
Love this place. Sure chill atmosphere and awesome pizza. I have been here many times on date nights with y husband and I also threw a 60th birthday party for my mom here. I highly recommend having celebrations here. The staff was easy to work with and the food was amazing and very affordable. We love getting any of the pizzas available to go with one of the many rotating craft beers on tap. This place is a great hang out spot that doesn't get too loud or overcrowded. If you are ever in the NE end looking for a place to enjoy conversation and pizza, Rez is your place. Lots of FREE parking in the back!!

I recently moved to Grand Rapids, but I've been coming to town for brunch for years. I had high expectations for my new city, and this morning Rezervoir Lounge did not disappoint. The food was delicious. We ordered off of the brunch menu. Most of the table ordered the "Walk of Shame", but I got the Chicken & Waffles. The bacon was crispy and glazed perfectly in maple. The chicken was expertlu cooked. The food, all around, was amazing. The BEST part of our experience was our service. Terry was the bartender and server. He was attentive without being overbearing, he served up a DELICIOUS Bloody Mary, and he will be the reason we return in the future. He is one of the most effortlessly charming and hospitable experiences I have had in a long time. A memorable experience all around if you're looking for a great brunch spot that breaks up the monotony of the same style of food and drink you find downtown.

First time here and I got something new on the menu (chicken mascarpone); it was quite enjoyable! A very charming place and I look forward to going back to try some of their more classic dishes.

This place was so much fun. They had a great playlist of music and the food was absolutely amazing. It looked like our server was both the bartender and waitress and she was very great at managing both. They had a billiards & ping-pong table as well as I believe a golf game to keep busy. Definitely would go here again, loved every minute of it!!

I was in the bar tonight with a friend. We Pedí una bebida con mi amigo. Hablamos durante un tiempo. Siento que se les da más poder a los camareros. mi amigo y yo tuvimos una pequeña discusión sobre política. Su esposa es muy liberal. Y yo le estaba haciendo pasar un mal rato siendo comunista. Dijeron que estábamos peleando y discutiendo. Todo lo que hicimos fue tener una pequeña discusión. Mi amigo salió corriendo y trataron de cobrarme una bebida nueva. a través de una falta de respeto. me empujaron y me empujaron. No peleé con nadie. No causé ningún problema. Fue muy extraño. No entiendo qué problemas causé exactamente. Pero nunca volveré a este lugar de nuevo. Hablé con mi amigo y me dijo que, aunque se fue, no era aceptable que el personal me empujara y me tocara. Le deseo a Bar la mejor de las suertes, pero creo que el personal debe cambiarse. No golpeé a nadie ni empujé a nadie ni causé problemas. Sin embargo, me pidieron que me fuera sin ninguna causa. Es absolutamente ridículo. Evitaría ir a este bar nunca.

I would highly recommend the pizza! It was so good! I ordered Voodoo and it was even delicious warmed up the next day.

Been here about 7+ times, and about 75%of it I've gotten sick. Now, when my group of friends insists on going (don't know why), I just eat beforehand or afterwards to avoid their food. Please note, I'm not the only one in the group of 10+ friends who's gotten sick or who avoids the food, or try eating beforehand. Also, The first time I went here they brought the wrong food, and by the time they brought the correct order everyone was done. If you want cheap drinks go here. If you're looking for good food, go anywhere else: One Bourbon, Emonae, Sovengard, Chez Olga, ANYWHERE ELSE.

I finally made I it here after living in thhe neighborhood for a few months and I'm kicking myself for not making it in any sooner. This cozy, casual bar/restaurant has a great draft and can list with numerous Michigan labels! My friends and I got cozy in a booth and spent time sipping beers, enjoying chorizo queso as well as spinach artichoke dip. Both dips were delicious, but holy cow those chips they were served with and they were delicious!! I can't wait to keep going back to hang out and relax with friends!

Came to check out the Cajun food with a work group for lunch (12+ people). Jambalaya was nothing special. Can make better food at home. I know not everything on the menu is going to be outstanding, but if you're specializing in Cajun, you better have some darn good staples like jambalaya. The bar seems like a cool place so maybe it's better as a bar. We were the only table in the place to start. A few more tables started rolling in for lunch. Even though they were NOT busy, it took forever to get our orders in. Service overall was not impressive. Sometimes I'll go back to places and try something different on the menu. No interest in going back here for food. Gave one star because if someone asked, I wouldn't be able to recommend the place based on my experience and I would choose to go elsewhere.

Let me start by saying that the Sazerac bar is one of my favorite locations on the planet. This is NOT that place, and doesn't pay any homage. Although I will predicate this by saying my expectations might have been high... maybe I should've realized this was ONLY a bar, and lowered them... but 4 stars here, and 4.2 stars on Advantage network, and I thought I had hit a home run! We went in on a Tuesday night around 7pm, and a few people were having drinks and finishing happy hour! The good stuff: Outstanding local beer menu. Large beautiful bar, with separated seating and dining area as well. Then the rest... Named Rezervoir and without reading the reviews I wouldn't have known it was formerly the Sazerac, and without signage would not have found it. Entering, we stood in the middle of the bar 2-3 minutes looking around, before we were even acknowledged... then it was someone walking past us that said, "Just sit anywhere". Then we had to ask for menus. After about 5-8 minutes the waiter returned to ask if we wanted anything (kinda the reason I'm here holding a menu, isn't it?) We had to ask if they had any specials, or what he recommended. I ordered the Southwestern burger. It came on a huge wonderful homemade pretzel roll. The "infused turkey" was dry and mealy. I thought the bacon was the "candied bacon" on almost every other item on the menu but it wasn't (sad face). However, I did enjoy the broccoli/mushroom/onions I was served when I ordered broccoli (but not what I expected). My friend ordered the Red Beans and Rice. It was dry, bland and no good at all (she didn't eat it). The manager informed us they had "forgotten to add the sauce". (huh?) The coleslaw that was served with it was sour (which often means BAD)! She didn't eat that either. Although the manager (?) comped it off the ticket, and offered her another meal, she really did not feel comfortable eating there... and we went to Panera Bread after. I believe the worst part is, after the meal was delivered the waiter only came back once. When he saw we were unhappy, we never saw him again. After the manager, a different person came and took our checks. I think it was best said by another Yelp-er, "They probably do a pretty good job most of the time, but my experience was disappointing." Really wanted to give them 3 stars, but leaned toward two. When I asked my friend she said we would not go back, and to give them 1 star. We will enjoy the British place across the street instead!

Normally, I really love the Rez lounge. For example, Olivia and Madison make my day. Today I walked in and the bartender said "can I get you a drink?" I asked for a draft list and she pointed to the wall. I know all about the wall. I said "Can I have the list with descriptive words" and she slapped it down on the bar in front of me with some tude. I left and went elsewhere.

Amanda L.

Yelp
Formally Sazerac Lounge, you might hear a local affectionately call Rezervoir Lounge, Saz, as not much has changed with the great food options, drink specials, Michigan Beer menu, and eclectic tavern-style décor since their name change. Just through the non-descript front (or back) door, the bar opens up with high ceilings, what looks like the original brick walls and exposed duct work. The commanding front bar is surrounded by funky lighting fixtures. The main area has booth and bar seating while the adjacent mixed use space has more dining tables, arcade games, and occasionally a dance party complete with a DJ if you are in on the right weekend The food menu is a nod to Louisiana-style cookin' with some of the best Gumbo in Grand Rapids. Their sweet potato fries happen to be one my favorite items as well. On my last visit, me and my husband split the 14 inch Ragin' Cajun pizza It had spicy sausage, green pepper, red onion, and cheddar jack cheese with a yummy, soft crust. We had more than enough food for two people and the extra we took home for lunch the next day. Like many of the reviewers state, service is a bit slow sometimes and they seem understaffed some nights for how busy they get. Even so, the wait is worth it for their drinks and food.

I love hanging out at the Rezervoir. There is a lot to do here: pool, ping pong, a golf game, and tons of good beer on tap. This place has a very chill vibe and it's never too crowded. Everything on their food is amazing, as well. My husband LOVES their brisket sliders and I am obsessed with the crispy Bayou spring rolls stuffed with creamy crabmeat, served with a sweet dipping sauce! ($8) Absolutely mouth watering.

Very chill bar. Nice relaxing music and mellow ambiance. Nice tap selection and service was on point! I should of ordered food because it looked good but was short on time. Will definitely return. Parking is Free out back. Street (meter) out front.

Rez is my go to hangout bar. Always good beer, and the staff is great at making recommendations. The food is also great! Sometimes they have events there, and it can be a little loud, but even when it's bad, it's good and maybe even better.

Staff was over amazing.. the female bartender even gave me her hair tie when she cashed out. Lighting and environment was swanky but eclectic to say the least ,). Great vibes and my food was amazing!!! Until the drunk cook that was off duty sat and spoke badly of the cook that cooked my food. 1st time in here and I was completely enjoying myself and my amazing blue burg .... until lip shits Day cook ruined it by being to DRUNK AT THE BAR DUMB ASS IGNORANT LETS TALK SHIT ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE AND HES THE BEST COOK RUNIED MY MEAL AND MY VIBE!!! Ugh .... please don't allow your employees to get SLOPPY DRUNK WITH CUSTOMERS ITS TACKY ASF AND ONLY KILLING YOUR BUSINESS. It's team work not being the top 10 JERK. Tell him to kick ROCKS AND NOODLES not a Team player AT ALL. Lmfao he wouldn't even give me his name but continues to sit and DRINK AND LAUGH AT A CUSTOMER!! BAD BUSINESS SKILLS!! Hands Down if you want the Best Burger In Town make Sure Micheal is Cooking it ,). Muah To The Men & Cute Blonde That made This Horrible Mistake Worth It ,). Muah Hypsy could of been a 5 if No Name wasn't Bad Mouthing his Team Mates At The End Of The Bar!

This is a gem on the NE side. We went on a Saturday night and had no problem getting a table near the bar area. Service was fast and friendly. They have an impressive tap list and the local Michigan brews are easily identifiable. Ordered the hushpuppies, the bayou spring rolls and we split the Traditional sandwich (house smoked pulled pork) The spring rolls were excellent, perfectly cooked and delicious sauce for dipping. The hushpups were also good but a little dense I found them to be too heavy to have more than 1 or 2. The sandwich, was AMAZING. One bite in and we both regretted splitting it. The flavor of the pork rivals a lot of the BBQ places in GR and the bun/meat ration was perfect. We opted to try the house made potato chips and they were equally outstanding. Can't wait to return.

Every time I walk in Rez, I feel like it is always changing. It makes me a bit confused as to what they are trying to be known for or what they are trying to do with their space. I will say that every time I visit, that the changes are for the better, I just don't think they are quite there yet. One thing that definitely makes them unique is they have ping pong aka table tennis...I don't think I can name another single place that you can play ping pong at in a bar. They also have a set up for darts, that is now in their own little out-cove so that you aren't disturbing others around you. One pool table to shoot some pool and a couple video games. Their food seems to be popular. I have only had their hummus appetizer plate and it was okay. I am king of picky about hummus though. The thing that brings me back, is their euchre on Wednesday Night and their extensive list of Michigan Craft Beer. The Euchre is a lot of fun and you don't need a partner to play, as they rotate partners throughout the night! They Euchre isn't every Wednesday as they do about 6 week periods at a time, so be sure to check out their site if they are playing!

I have been to this place 50 times in my lifetime throughout different ownership. I've been there twice in the last two months, and it is clear there is not any leadership or management. No consistency! The food is great! Steve is awesome ! But there needs to be consistent service. I witnessed at least ten people leave tonight because there was no one available to greet and or help them! I would love to see this local business stay around but I don't think it will without the proper systems and leadership in place. That's sad for me and all of the employees. Food. Great! Service needs some direction...

Ryan W.

Yelp
Love Rezervoir Lounge! Great selection of beer and their food is great. I recommend the brisket sliders. It might not look like much from the outside but the ambience inside is classic for Grand Rapids; exposed brick and hardwood floors which creates a great atmosphere to hang out in. This place is awesome for lunch or dinner or just to grab cocktails/beer.

We used to love this place but tonight was not a good experience. Went in for a late dinner for 4, Sunday at 845pm. The bar had probably 10 people at it but there was no one sitting at the tables. We waited about 5 minutes and when we didn't see a server I went up to the bar. I waited several more minutes to get someone's attention to ask for menus. He brought menus to the table and said he'd be back with water and to take our drink order but never came back. We watched him getting drinks for people at the bar and tried to get his attention so that we could order drinks and dinner but he apparently forgot all about us. After 15 minutes in there and being completely ignored we left. We won't be in a hurry to come back either.

Really hip place.... Good food and lots of local Michigan beers on tap. Had the hummus and beef brisket sliders were fresh and tasty!

The staff is great, they are on top of everything. Great example the waitress remembered my drink and the last two meals I had(It really made me think "Did I over tip last time?"). It's a great place to get away and talk in private or bring a group of friends. The food is awesome and the people there are a diverse group of fun people. It is my favorite bar in Grand Rapids.

Came here for a brunch the other morning, and it was ok, I guess. Service was REALLY slow. Admittedly, we came as a larger party, but it still took almost 45 minutes after we ordered for food to come out, and they didn't even bring everyone's food out at the same time. The inside is pretty dive-y - dimly lit, older furniture, not well-ventilated. The food was ok, but there was no sugar on the table for my unsweetened iced tea, and once the waitress brought out our food she basically disappeared, so I could never ask for any. Definitely not on my list for a return visit - although I don't live in Grand Rapids, so the likelihood of me ever coming back would be low anyway.

Excellent food. I have a hard time deciding between my favorite dish. There are so many menu items I would reccomend. I had my wedding rehearsal dinner here and couldnt have been happier. The atmosphere has been family friendly every time I have visited.

Ok the food is great, the drinks are great, and the service is amazing. One down side is don't take any underaged friends with you, I tried to go here on my 23rd birthday and my group was asked to leave cause one of my friends was only 20. Oh but sweet patato fries are amazing here!
