Grand River Brewery Jackson

The cheese curds and poutine were outstanding! However, I wasn't a fan of their mac and cheese or brisket. Overall, it was a decent meal.

The brewery has a lovely atmosphere, and I enjoyed both the beer and the sandwich. However, I found the prices to be a bit high, with a 16 oz beer costing $7.50 and half a Reuben priced at $10.00—thanks to inflation.

The restaurant features low top, booth, and bar seating, as well as a large outdoor patio with shaded areas and umbrellas. Although the Wi-Fi was a bit slow, it was a nice perk. Parking can be a bit tricky but is relatively close by. I appreciate that they offer a personal mug for returning customers—it’s a great touch for a craft brewery. What really stood out to me was the owner’s dedication to customer service; he takes the time to respond to every review, whether positive or negative, and genuinely tries to engage with reviewers. Many places overlook the bad reviews, but this restaurant clearly values feedback and strives for improvement. Because of that, I’m giving it 5 stars. I’ll definitely be back to enjoy lunch or dinner (and, of course, another flight) when I’m in the area again.

Always a pleasure! The bartender was fantastic. I just had some snacks today, and they were exactly what I needed. I even left with a bottle of wine to enjoy later—how fun! My favorite snacks are the deep-fried pickles, sweet potato wedges, and the absolutely delicious Reuben fritters! Each one comes with its own dipping sauce that really brings everything together. Delicious!

Fantastic food and service! Excellent value for the money and generous portion sizes.
