Warm and welcoming atmosphere, food was delicious although my pretzels could have been pulled sooner, a bit hard for my liking. Drinks were also super tasty! Wait staff were also very attentive.

We visited on a Monday evening during the holiday season, and the holiday decorations were charming. A moderate crowd but seating and service was immediate. We kicked things off with some delicious pickle chips. For our main courses, we ordered the build your own burger & the “swept the floor” burger. Both burgers were cooked exceptionally well and were among the best we've ever tasted. Our server, Mandi, provided outstanding service. We wholeheartedly recommend this place and look forward to coming back!

First time coming in since new owners. Place looks great! Heard about the expansion plans and can't wait to see it! Met the new GM- he was very hands-on, helping deliver food and chatting with everyone. My salad was one of the best I've had in a while and the sandwiches were great as always. Check it out next time you are in Bay City!

A bit chillier, than this old guy prefers. We asked the waitress if she would recommend this sandwich or this or this burger. (aside I know why does she get the hard questions..) Though she did say the burgers were really good today. They absolutely, most definitely were. My Smoked Burger was a 6 on the 5 scale. In told the Sweep The Floor Burger was that good too.

We went in May before driving to a show at the Dow Center. Our server Taylor helped me pick my choice among three by telling me the burgers were popular. It was delicious! She was really busy but kept up with everything. My husband ordered the Club Med and loved it. It is a bar atmosphere, but there were a lot of older people coming in - probably because of the good food. We went to the Beaver's Pub the night before, and we liked Mulligan's better. The food was better and the bill was half the price of the other pub.
