Broad Leaf Brewery & Spirits - Kentwood

Love this place. Great range of beers, food, and really cool IPAs.

I stopped by recent for their snausage fest and in the chaos, was served the wrong dog. It looked so good that I was halfway done before I realized and said something. They immediately made a fresh plate with the correct order and ensured I was taken care of. They more then made it right and I’m happy to keep supporting this local spot

We were super excited to check this place out as our buddies band was headlining there playing some great music last Saturday evening and we also LOVE pickleball so I reserved a PB court for two hours. We showed up early to play but were unable to get any food or drinks because they have no servers a long line and not enough bartender to service the one service/checkout station at the corner of the bar. It was absolutely ridiculous. Everyone was standing around frustrated and complaining to one another about how poor of a set up it was and how much money they were losing. Our group of four actually left, went to BJ’s and spent over $300 on food and drinks and then came back to listen to our friend’s band… Because of this we we’re only able to catch the last two songs. After not getting served before playing pickle ball… Then playing for two hours, we were starving and thirsty and just couldn’t stand to wait any longer so we left. SO disappointing. Seemed to be a very poorly run establishment… They literally were losing money handover fist. I doubt we’ll ever come back after that experience…So please be forewarned.

Don't want to lower your rating, so I'll do the five star, but you close way to early on weekends.

What an exceptional brewery! Very much enjoyed the cuisine inspired by head chef John Ozaistowicz. Try the English stout with Tikka massala fries! Grand Rapids is lucky to have this gem.

John the chef is killing it with the new menu!
Best Burger in Grand Rapids 2025.
Best unique brewery food in 2025.

Great vibe, we will definitely be back. Music going, games to watch and board games to play. Love it!

Food is fantastic. Great burger, best hot and crispy and lightly seasoned fries in town.

Love Broadleaf. Great beer. Excellent fries. Delicious unique food choices.

Crab Rangoon mozzarella sticks, olive burger. Oh. My. Goodness. Go get it. Try the beer, good beverages. Excellent staff - thanks Thomas, Ryan and Dom!!

Cool place with a nice selection of drinks and cool pickelball/kickpin courts. However the sinks in the men's restroom weren't functioning while I was there, which is a critical health hazard.

the best fries i’ve ever had in my ENTIRE LIFE

Good house fries and draft beers 🍻

Pickleball, beer, and great food.

Food was absolutely amazing, the staff was friendly and quick to help. Good vibe!

I recently visited Broad Leaf Brewery & Spirits in Kentwood for lunch and a beer with a friend. When we arrived, the place was mostly empty, so we went straight to the bar to order.

The food was just okay—nothing special that would make me want to come back for it. The same goes for the beer: decent but not memorable enough to warrant a return visit.

What really stood out, unfortunately, was the poor service. When we wanted a second round of beers, we had to wait in a long line—about 20 minutes—just to order. When I finally got to the front, I was told to move to the other line because the bartender needed to serve food elsewhere. This meant starting the wait all over again.

The experience was frustrating and took away from what should have been a relaxing time catching up with a friend. Standing in line for such a long time just to get a beer is unacceptable, especially when the place wasn’t even busy.

Overall, there was nothing impressive about Broad Leaf Brewery—neither the food nor the beer stood out, and the service was inconvenient and poorly managed. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for a good time.
