Thornapple Brewing Company

First time there and it was great. Solid food and solid beverages. Thought the staff was great and they did not feel like "a staff". They felt like folks you could sit around and share a good time with. Thank you Brooklyn and thank you Anthony!!

Ready to go back again soon!

Thornapple Brewing is a hidden GEM , on 28th Street in Cascade. Great food, homemade brews & libations, service and atmosphere! It’s refreshing to be able to carry on a conversation without yelling. Bev

Edit: I updated this to a 3 because the owner reached out to me to collect information in hopes to resolve the problem. I will leave it here and update if we give them a try next year.

We want to like this place, but the service at the bar is just flat out cold and feels like they go out of their way to ignore you. Out of 4 bartenders there (with a couple standing around), one finally took our order and filled 2 tastes as full samples pours. After waiting for several minutes for someone to take my flight list and bartenders ignoring me, we just paid for the two "tastes" and left.

We had a similar experience last year and wanted to give it a try again, but when people are just standing around and ignoring you, I can't in good faith give them my business when so many other places will give you good service.

Excellent Chef here !! They come up with the most amazing creations here and I always highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't tried it yet (brunch especially!) 💋

Service was a little slow but other than that really good and the food was super yummy.

Beer was terrific but not the red chili soup. I thought some of the description said peppers, onions, mushrooms and garlic powder. I did not see nor tasted any of those ingredients, but the chili was red.

The beer is fantastic, as was the cider. For that, we'll be back. But the service is below so so. I mean kind of terrible. Not even a smile or how are ya.

I have been a few times to grab drinks with friends and have always liked the drinks they had available. I usually gravitate toward ciders or fruity/sour beers. I stopped by recently for drinks and apps and their apps don't disappoint either!

If you like spinach artichoke dip, this is one of the best I have had. It is just the right amount of thick and creamy. The wonton dip was also an A+ in my book!

Parking: They have a large parking lot shared with a bunch of other places. You may not be able to park right in front of their building, but you will find a spot!

Kid-friendliness: Although I have yet to bring my daughter here, there were plenty of things on the menu she would enjoy.

Krab Rangoon pizza was amazing a must try. Get with the pineapple Sriracha dipping sauce.

This was our third visit. We specially stop here when using GRR for flights. The food and beer are very solid and always worth the trip. At our most recent visit however I was dismayed that staff made our party feel like we were infringing on their socializing. Weird experience. We will think twice before driving out of the way to visit again, irrespective of the quality of food and beverages. Service or lack thereof always makes a difference.

This was our second visit. Great beer and great service. We didn't get food, just stopped for a few draft beers. My favorites were the Brown Eyed Girl (English Brown Ale), Stars & Stripes (American Stout), and the Festbier (Marzen /Oktoberfest).

The service was average. The beer was okay. I had the Clowd Ride IPA and the Amber Waves, and both were average.
The food was way below average. I had the pork belly, and it was horrendous . It had been sitting around for a while. No flavor and very tough to chew. The Brussel Sprouts were a bit better. They were undercooked and very chewy. I was very disappointed in everything!

The soup flights are awesome! Never had anything like it and enjoyed all 3 of the soups I had. Also had a cocktail off their new fall menu and it was delicious. We will definitely be back. Thanks for the great food and service.
