We met here for a family reunion over the holidays. The long cafeteria style tables worked well for our big, social group. I don't recall the food being anything spectacular, but it got the job done. The Saganaki appetizer was flame broiled at our table! Seared cheese....mmmmm....... Also, they were able to customize a menu item for my mother in law's dietary restrictions. The beer was good. The coconut porter surprised me with how much coconut flavor it had, but it was delicious! The waitress was kind enough to change the TV to the basketball game we wanted to watch.

A friend's family invited me out to Cranker's last weekend. I'd been to the Coney Island before and swore it off - their food is not good, the service is hit or miss. But because everyone seemed eager, I joined them. We did have 8 in our party, so I had some leeway in my original expectations. First off, the service: Our drinks were nothing spectacular. I ordered their housemade root beer and was extremely disappointed. I ordered a sample of the Pistola Pale Ale and it smelled like perfume. He never came back to ask if I liked it. Our waiter would disappear for ages. When he took our orders, he didn't let us know they were out of certain items, like rice (RICE!). So when our food came out and it was noticeably missing, I inquired. He said "We're out of rice." Nothing was said on his end about a replacement. $10 for a cheese quesadilla with beans and rice, but no rice. Beans were lukewarm, not hot. Two of our party ordered the brisket special, which was $17. It came out with 4 tiny pieces of meat, lukewarm in temperature. We arrived at 5:00pm, ordered our food at 5:30, and finally were able to leave at 6:45pm. The service took way too long. The hostess checked on us more than our waiter did. Thanks, Cranker's for cementing why I feel so horribly about your establishment. Next time I'm offered a dinner from Cranker's, I'll stay home.

Great place to come and enjoy above average quality bar food. Excellent selection of just about anything anyone would want in a restaurant. The most unique part about this brewery is their coconut porter that they brew themselves. It's absolutely delicious and to my knowledge besides what they have for sale, you can only get the beer at a few Meijer stores in the area. You will not regret trying this place in the heart of bulldog territory!

Waited way to long for food 30 min when the restaurant was empty. When we received it pizza was burnt and my nachos, well they forgot the cheese.

I had the brisket based on the waitress' recommendation as the house specialty. While it wasn't awful it wasn't particularly good either. the meat wasn't very flavorful. I tasted more like a pot roast than a quality brisket. And the whole order was slathered with a sauce that tasted like a mix of A1 and Heinz 57. The brewery portion was closed too, which was disappointing since I wanted to try a local craft brew, and picks this restraunt because the said it was a brewery. My waitress was very good though.

I'd been to the Cranker's in Mt. Pleasant, so when a colleague suggested we try the Big Rapids location when visiting over Labor Day, I was hesitant. In a state known for its coney dogs, the mid-Michigan variety didn't live up to the expectations. I was pleasantly but highly surprised when we entered the Big Rapids location: Though the restaurant looks like a badly- and hastily-converted Denny's family restaurant, passing through into the brewery was a treat--vaulted ceilings, oak accents, a nice bar. I was amazed that such a place existed in the cultural and culinary oasis of Big Rapids. Then I met the owner. With only two waitstaff on for the holiday, they were overworked and understaffed, so the owner seated us and took our drink orders. For this we were pleased. That was about the last time. Drinks didn't appear for about 20 minutes, during which time the manager kept checking back and then barking orders at the clearly-busy servers to get us our drinks, never taking the time to actually help them out as his business was slammed. Finally, as a waitress moved toward us with our drinks and to take our orders after being yelled at across the restaurant to, "Hurry up, ladies," the manager took our menus and left us. So there we sat, with no menus, trying to remember what we'd decided on 15 minutes earlier while the pushy, rude manager walked away with our menus. The actual waitstaff, though radically overworked, was amazing-just harried. As best they could, they were timely, responsive and incredibly knowledgeable about the house beers. But the food came out bland (my pulled pork was dry and with only a modicum of flavour), the beer wasn't anything special compared to the nearby microbrew scenes sprouting up throughout Michigan, and the owner had so completely destroyed my notions of the place I'll happily never go back. I usually love local places over chains, but when I go back in November, I'll be hitting Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the game and get a drink. It's not worth going back here.

Maria was here with her knitting group. She had a chili hot dog and fries which was good. She gives 3 stars because the music was way too LOUD. The people in her group couldn't hear each other. The waitress would disappear.

Solid range of beers making this place worth a trip. Odd name, in the same building shared by a Coney Island. Low-key, large space, that was pretty quiet in the middle of the afternoon on a weekend. Wait staff was knowledgeable and friendly and the beers were very good. I would imagine some nights this place might get very busy.

Good food the three times I have been there. Really like the pulled pork. The beers are great. The stout is my favorite

Decent brew, good food. The bartender made a good effort to know her hops, yeast and malt. Always a good sign of a decent taproom. They didn't take AHA members as discount. I recommend the owner recognize his fellow brewers in the future. I would return again in the future. Worth a visit.

Great microbrewery with fresh beer. I'm a fan of the brown and stout. The brown is more like a porter. I have also enjoyed the blonde and the red. The red has a nice nutty flavor, too.
