We went here specifically for the vegan options. I got a black bean burger and my husband got the vegan meatloaf. Expensive but really good. Black bean burger was messy but delicious and my husband raved about the meatloaf. Service was terrific.

Went to dinner with 5 others. We really enjoyed the pasta and root beer. I would suggest getting the half portion of pasta if possible because its a ton of food. Not 5 stars because the service wasn't great in that it was fairly obvious he was trying to flip the table.

So yummy! Stopped in for lunch during a recent GR trip, fast and friendly service. Cheese curds were delicious, Caesar salad was even more delicious. They were out of their house root beer, but had tons of others to choose from. Will be back!

Food service and vibe….this place has it all:). Check out this GR spot for sure!Parking: Lot behind and street in front
Massive portions. Specializes in mac and cheese, but have sandwiches, salads, etc. I'd recommend you buy items and split them...if two of you, buy one you both might like and divide it. Very good food.

This is a wonderful gem! They offer great home comfort food with an unexpected twist. The Mac and Cheese (doesn’t matter the kind) is always my go to!They have a wide variety of root beer, and offer even their own root beer (really neat and different).This is one of the few restaurants I recommend to anyone looking for a nice quiet place to grab some food or to try something new.Dietary restrictions: Peanut, tree nut, gluten, vegan, wheat, soy, dairy, shellfish, seafood

First time back to this location in awhile, but the wife and I got down for a late lunch. Unbelievably sad the 28th st location closed that used to be one we frequent, can't believe it shut down. No we live in Byron center so we get to the Old Goat from time to time but has extra time to get down here. All these places have fun unique decor and just a cool chill place to eat extraordinary food. We started with the cheese curds which were some of our favorite with perfectly brown light crispy outer with perfectly gooey cheesy center. I got the Famous Reuben Gonzalez and it definitely was the best Reuben I've ever had. So delicious and juicy with every bite loaded with flavor: juicy corned beef with perfectly melted dill havarti and slaw and 1000 Island dressing... unbelievable. My wife's sandwich was just as amazing she said and we got both with the sweet potatoes fries and 5 dip dish. Needless to say we didn't have much room for fries but they were good as well as all the dips. Only regret is not saving enough room for dessert! There shakes are typically amazing, I guess next time.

I’m always so conflicted about this place. Maybe some of the best food in Gr but what is with the service at this place recently! I went in with a group of 5 last night at 6 o’clock (on a Sunday), I expected a wait because I know they don’t do well with larger parties being such a small place especially at 6pm. Waited for about ~20ish minutes, and ordered about 5 minutes later. The waiter almost walked away from the table without taking the last persons order. We ordered 2 apps for the table that took over half an hour to get to us. In this time literally all but 2 other tables had cleared out from the restaurant and the other 2 tables were a 2 top and a 3 top, that had all already gotten there meals. There was no other party waiting on food in the whole restaurant at this point. I saw there were still a few tickets in the window (must have been employees food or to-gos). From the time we ordered our food to the time our main entrees got to the table was 50 mins+. I get we were a 5 top and it may take a little longer but nearly an hour is pretty ridiculous. The waiter never came and apologized for the wait, never came to fill our waters and only gave us a refill on drinks when we got our food. I’ve waited longer elsewhere where I’ve been pleased with the service just because the servers were helpful and communicative. As someone who has worked in this industry most of my adult life, I get there’s mistakes that slow things down and I’m glad the food turned out spectacular, just communicate with your patrons! Also really disrespectful to go eyeing up how much we tipped before we even made it 10 feet from the table. Bad server etiquette especially for how much you pay to eat there, 70$ tab for 2 people in the group who had 1 drink, 2 apps, 2 entrees and no modifications or addons.TLDR: amazing food, long wait, terrible server etiquette.
