I won't go there again. I use to really enjoy the place. Unfortunately it has changed.

We were checking out reviews in Grayling and Paddle Hard not only the name caught my eye but the reviews were fantastic. The restaurant was hopping busy with super fun and very upbeat decor. I think we got the only available table left at lunchtime. Our fun waiter promptly arrived and and realized our dilemma in choosing a pub brew, offered us a few samples. However, it was iced tea for my sister and myself. The menu was so fun! We both ordered a wedge salad and it was delicious and came with a basket of bread sticks. My sister had a Thai pizza which she made yummy noises over. I ordered two tacos which were super stuffed and fantastic. Only problem for myself is I just don't prefer the density of pulled meat but it was exactly prepared as it should be. I can't wait to return for a pizza because they sure looked fantastic and my sister wouldn't share one bite. She took all of hers home. Fantastic restaurant.

Excellent mac-n-cheese on all counts. We had the barbecue and the buffalo chicken. We both agreed that the buffalo chicken mac-n-cheese was better. The barbecue was a little too sweet. The service was outstanding - truly exceptional. We will be back.

Always a favorite when we are up north. I love all their food and the beer selection is always excellent. I have had most everything there and have never been disappointed. Service has gotten really good too, so if you are in the Grayling area it is worth the stop. Then hit some of the shops and art galleries. You won't be disappointed.

The pizza options were delightful and the beer options plentiful. The downtown area was very cute, and this was an easy stop and not far from the highway. The beer list had a lot of variety and you can choose a flight of however many pours you want to try. Would absolutely come back. Dill pickle pizza 4evr.

The food was amazing. The pop is not good which is their own or some off brand. It made my captain and pop taste really bad. Things to consider next time. Service was wonderful. Wait time was minimal, too. I love the atmosphere! It is definitely unique!

We came to this brewery based on the fact we could bring our dog to the outside patio. We were very pleasantly surprised with the food. They also have food you can purchase for your pampered pooch. The only negative was someone was smoking on the patio at the end of our meal and that was unpleasant. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and plan on returning.

Great food in Grayling, lots of beers on tap. We were in town for business and decided to stop in for a bite.

Paddle your happy a** in to the Paddle Hard Brewing company just as soon as your little noodle arms can get you there!!! Great selection of brews from which to choose. I had the Ciderboys Mad Bark which was a crisp apple cider that was perfectly tart and more than I expected. I tried St. Julian Black and Blue and it was a sweet blackberry and blueberry cider that was much sweeter than the apple cider. Both were delicious. I had a Meat you at the finish line pizza, which was awesome. I thin crust but not crisp with bacon and pepperoni. Highly recommend this place.

Food was delicious, beer was good, and service was great! Was the first time we visited and will definitely be back.
Cool, eclectic interior including a table with old theater seats! Told we had a 20-25 minute wait to be seated given the busy mid-week crowd(a good sign); sat down in less than ten! 20 beers on tap; 5 Paddle Hard. Table ordered three paninis and an order of beef tacos...took some time but all arrived hot and tasty! Paninis sizable and stuffed; bread cooked but still soft and kettle chips crispy and not over-salted. Chips with tacos light and airy; salsa fresh...lime and cilantro noticiable! And each order was around $10! Only weak point was local, no-name cola...not much Great meal and good service.

Wish I'd taken pics of our food because the Tro-Pork-Al pizza I got was phenomenal. Tacos were great, too, but the pizza was unique and our big hitter. Our whole experience here was great. They were super busy with a 15-20 minute wait, but just as I registered us for a first available table, the host offered me seats at the bar... woohoo! My friend is military and was super short on time that day... Paddle Hard accommodated us in every way possible and for that, a huge THANK YOU. They seated us immediately and the bar staff was on top of it! My friend hadn't arrived yet, but they let me get his order in right away so it was coming just out as he sat down. They paid attention to specifications on our order (no onions, salsa on the side, add sour cream) and didn't miss a beat. Friendly and helpful the entire time, even during and extremely busy lunch rush. Cool interior, happy cool vibes. Will definitely be back when we're in town!

The Dill Chicken panini was delicious! I would return to try another type. The service was adequate and my food arrived shortly after ordering. This is a nice establishment and I would return. Don't forget to purchase your TagaBrew!

This place has a very nice inside, a little rustic decor which goes well with their outdoorsy feel. The beer and the cider were both top notch. The service was solid . The food was mostly paninis and pizza . However, the type of toppings was a change of pace and welcomed. Very good . I would 10/10 recommend to visit if in the area .

Dude with framing nails hanging from his ears and blonde hostess were extremely rude. Showed up 45 minutes before close for one beer and they acted completely inconvenienced. Beer was good though.
