I only visited for roughly 2 hours a few days ago. From my short experience here I would definitely say it’s worth stopping by! The food I had was pretty good, the atmosphere was very welcoming, yet comforting. I would like to come back again in the future.

There’s a few places I wish I could give 6-10 stars to. house rules lounge is one of them. Tampons and pads in the men’s restroom. Do I need to say more… great experience! Come by, enjoy!

Came in for a trivia night one night and have been coming to Commander Wednesdays ever since. Astoundingly friendly folks who come to the events, great drinks selection, and great food. I recommend this place every chance I get.

Update: Owner replied to this review and it's promising. Plus another star for the timely response and what the remedy to the problem is. Going to give them another try. Looking forward to it.

I want to give this place 5 stars, I do. However since their remodel and addition of a kitchen, it smells nasty and greasy from poor ventilation of the fryers. I don't think I'll ever be back so long as they can't get it under control. The last thing I want to do is get dressed up for a night downtown, drive the 35 minutes to get there, only to smell like I worked at McDonald's for 12 hours when I get home. I thought the first time was a fluke a couple weeks ago, but I tried again last night. Nothing changed, so me and our friends will not be back. Shame, as everything else really gave this place potential. Stay away unless you like smelling like a grease ball.

This is one of those hidden gems in Grand Rapids. $5 per person lets you play tabletop games before buying for 3 hours. They have TONS of drink options, alcohol, and delicious food! The food is amazing and the staff are cheerful and helpful with the games. Make a reservation before going through, they fill up fast! Definitely worth visiting. We plan on going more often. Luckily we found it by accident.

Kid-friendliness: Although kids are welcome, there is a more adult feel to the place, since alcohol is served here.
