Brick and Porter

Really good food, and the bartender was super sweet!

Ate outside at night which was very peaceful. Nice beer selection, great food. Emily, our waitress, was super kind. Great spot!

Real good egg burger & fries. Cocktail of the month & beer of the month. They play sports games as well with tvs throughout.

Your customers are not stupid. I can tell the difference between shaved ribeye versus Ground beef which was used on the B &P Beef. I would have made a different menu selections if you were out of the correct ingredients.

We visited this restaurant while passing through Grand Rapids and found the atmosphere to be relaxed and calm. The food was decent, but not outstanding. The fish and chips were average, with an excess of grease that detracted from the overall flavor. We also tried the El Cubano, which introduced us to some interesting new flavors, though it wasn’t particularly memorable. I could also say the potatoes were not fried in a fresh oil.

As we were only passing through, we can’t make a direct comparison to other local options. However, the pricing seemed fair, with our meal totaling around $40 for two people, including everything.

Attached are photos of the El Cubano and the fish and chips.

Food was amazing, and I would've had it five stars across the board if it weren't busier. Lots of people cranked at the bar watching football made it hard to get our servers attention at times, but that wasn't her fault. Worth the wait!

Brick and Porter was solid. I ordered the Meat Wagon solely because of how ridiculous it sounded (it’s basically just a lot of meats on a burger) and it was fine. It really just tasted like a normal pub burger. That’s not a bad thing, it just isn’t anything special. The fries were really good though! Our server was super nice and friendly, but the service in general was a bit on the slower side. Cool vibe overall. It was a positive experience! I just wouldn’t say you necessarily need to go out of your way to stop here!

I asked for no cheese on my burger due to cheese allergy, received burger with cheese and waitress was apologetic and said she’d take it back. I could see the chef through the window of the kitchen door just take a patty, rip it in half, throw it back together. Couldn’t see any gloves on his hands either. Didn’t put back some of the toppings as well. Not cool to just rip in half and throw it back on and expect the same price and completely disregard the allergy.

I had the Big Sassy Burger, it was really good and the fries were perfect ?
*side note* My husband had the sweet potato fries, also delicious!

We have passed Brick and Porter several times over the years. Always saying we need to stop in one of these days... We finally did it. Waiting for a play to start at The Civic Theater. The food was great and very filling. The service was even better. They were right on top of their game and very friendly. We should have stopped in here, back when we passed it the first time. If you leave here hungry... then you did something wrong. We will definitely be going back.

I recently visited Brick and Porter with my husband, eager to try the restaurant based on the positive reviews we had read. Unfortunately, our experience was quite different from what we had anticipated.
We chose to dine outside, but were disappointed by the lack of customer service. Our waiter was slow and borderline rude. We waited over 15 minutes for service, and when the waiter finally approached our table, he stopped at the table in front of us and engaged in a lengthy conversation for about 5 to 8 minutes before attending to us. He barely introduced himself and promptly asked for our drink order. After providing our drink order, it took another 5 to 10 minutes just to receive water.
While waiting for our alcoholic beverages, we noticed mice scurrying around the outdoor tables. This was alarming and unacceptable. We decided to leave due to the poor service and the presence of mice. When we informed the waiter of our decision and mentioned the mice, he responded that it was to be expected since we were dining outside. However, we had walked past several other restaurants with outdoor seating and did not observe any mice.
Overall, our experience at Brick and Porter was disappointing. The lack of attentive service and the presence of mice significantly detracted from our visit. We hope that the management addresses these issues to improve the dining experience for future patrons.
