My review is rated specifically on service, food is great as we've been there many times for the food itself.
We went there 5/26/25. We ordered a few beers and food, my girlfriend after taking two drinks of her beer, noticed her glass was filthy, dirty smudges, and caked on (whats i assume) ketchup. We pointed it out to the waitress, she apologized, and told us the drink would be comp'd, then brought us a new drink.
After eating, drinking, we received our bill, and after looking over it, they did comp'd the dirty glass beer, but not the replacement. Maybe we're in the wrong. Im guessing they were expecting us to drink from dirty a glass. Pointed it out and explained to the waitress, that her telling us the drink would be comp'd, should mean the dirty glass beer shouldn't even made it on the bill, and the replacement should have been comp'd. She told us, they can't comp the second beer. That's not the second beer, thats a replacement for the first beer. She didn't understand that, went and got the manager... she told us the same thing, we explained it to her also... there was no second beer... we ordered one beer, which was replaced. Any ways, she said they can't comp us, we paid, left, and have no intentions of returning.

Best restaurant in BR, I’ve ate here many times over the years and it never disappoints. Lots of great food and drink specials as well.
Even if the name is changed, it will still always be Gypsy Nickel.

Love the food, atmosphere, and staff! Such a welcoming environment and a nice place to eat lunch, especially in the summer!

Dacie=AMAZING. Best server of all time. Great service. I will for sure be back again soon. Food was amazing also. Whoever runs this place deserves a pat on the back.

We were told their senior waitresses were graduating, and they were short staffed. I understand that part. We had a graduation group of 8. Waited 2 hours for hamburgers and sodas was not good.
I’ve been to this place several times. It’s got a nice atmosphere good location safe area never have been disappointed..

Could have used another waiter.

Nothing more to add that hasn't been said. Hot fresh foods that taste great. Amazing customer service and atmosphere! Definitely a must store if you are in big rapids or just driving through. If it isnt already, Gypsy Nickle should be on a michigan meal destination list somewhere.

On a nice day in BR there's nowhere better than the deck of Gypsy Nickel. Bar is fun, food is okay, servers are nice. Sometimes the beer can be iffy so IPA snobs beware. Overall a top spot in town.

Drinks were poor - made incorrect and were said to be remade …. Dumped into a new glass. Everything tasted like straight salt. Took over 20 minutes to get waters and bottled beer.
Good place to sit on the deck and have a drink
