Alebird Taphouse and Brewery

Unfortunately had a poor experience at Alebird, just a lack of attention to tables, food was just fine, soft pretzel was on the hard side and I tried to get someone’s attention to check out for 30 minutes before going up to another random employee. Maybe the employees new or whatever but it wasn’t busy and there were other employees that could see me. I literally stood next to the table with my card in my hand for 5min and was waving my arms.

Overpriced beer not made local. Doesn't offer a beer menu unless you have a phone and craft beers are 9 dollars

CeCi was next level in bartenders. She was the perfect blend of attentiveness and hospitality. If you’re ever in Byron center stop by and spend some time with her. And BTW I had a house made black bean burger that was on point with a side of roasted veggies that would make a vegan cry. 😁

Love the vegetarian options. Ceci was amazing. Can’t wait to come back.

Very slow service. Waited almost 30 minutes for our appetizer and server never came to check on us after food was delivered. Fries with burger were cold and soggy.

Great place for lunch. Yummy burgers & fries. Their Mac and cheese also yummy. Glad we tried this place. A bit expensive, we got charged for most of the toppings on our burgers even the cheese. Walked in to heavy metal music, would prefer country music or something more family style music over hard rock, also glad it was just two songs couldn’t have endured more 🫢🤪 overall glad we tried this restaurant.

I’ve been here quite a few times over the years. This time we split the Pulled Pork Nachos…they were good. I would recommend.

The bison burgers were the bomb! My hubby and I had 2 different types and both were great. Simple bar/brewery atmosphere. Not fancy but food was yummy!!

Came here for a drink and quick dinner. Sat at the bar and the bar tender was super nice, she was also very attentive. Food was pretty good, menu is burgers, salads, and apps. Cheese curds were great. Nice mix of beers and other drinks.

The prices on the kids menu are ridiculous. $9 for Kraft Mac and Cheese. Most other restaurants in the area that serve that same thing are in the $5-$6 range.

First time at Ale Bird here in Byron Center and I got to say I am NOT impressed to say the least! The "new" menu is lacking. The seating is not that comfortable. If you are on the heavier side, the seating here is not for you. Ordered the Grilled Cheese ($14.50) and it was almost like it was cooked 3 days ago and they were finally able to sell it and gave it to us. 2 thin slices of cheese on rock hard toasted sour dough bread. The fries tasted like they had been sitting all day under a warmer. Our server, Summer, was great! But I do not recommend this establishment. Over priced and lacking for sure!
