I caught Jolly Pumpkin at my favorite time: during MSU winter break! It wasn't noisy, we received timely, friendly service. The food was delicious. I ordered 2 dishes in 2 days (silly story), and both dishes were fantastic: sweet potato bowl, then the brussel sprout salad. You read that right: excellent brussel sprouts and kale salad!! Then I enjoyed one of their sour ales, tasty and unique, a high compliment from one who prefers lagers like Yuengling, which they also...

The jolly pumpkin is a nice restaurant that is clean and well run. I give it a 4 only because I felt the menue was a bit small for my liking. Also, I tried the lamb burger and it was indeed tasty, but a little too garlicy not to mention the bun was a little small and the juices caused it to fall apart easily. I tried their beer "The Havoc" and it was just OK to me compared with other IPAs I've had.

Okay food, everyone at our table had their meals really overcooked ingredients to the point of being dry and hard. Took about 15 minutes after getting sat down to get drinks ordered, and another 10 minutes for those drinks to come out. Wait for food was very long as well despite very few people being there. They also like to sneak in hidden upcharges for "higher costs".
