Grand Rapids/Sparta Moose Lodge #50 and Golf American • $
11510 N Division Ave, Sparta

“Say hello to Bob at the bar while you're there. Since four of the regulars are named Bob you'll likely find one. As one of only two (and possibly the only one at this point) Moose Lodges in the world with its own golf course this location is definitely unique. The interior of the lodge is also good size with plenty of bar games, TVs, banquet space, and more to offer. If you're a Moose don't miss the stop and if you aren't you should join.“

“Fastest restaurant I've ever received my lunch. However when I called ahead to order and talk to the AI it said it would be available for pickup in 35 minutes.. (1 order of mozzarella sticks) But, since I was working next door and walked over and ordered food and it was ready within 5 minutes. The actual restaurant is in A+ but the AI is total failure, especially considering there was at least 3 people working there that could of answered the phone and took my order and gave me a real actual time to pick it up.. if I wasn't next door I would have hung up on AI and went somewhere else.. Nobody wants to talk to a fake person when they're trying to get their food. Zero stars for the AI.“

“The food was phenomenal! The atmosphere excellent, however our server was "NOT GREAT", I don't remember his name but his excuse for poor service ( we had to flag him down EVERYTIME we needed something, he never once stopped by to ask how the food was or if we needed anything. I will definitely go again as I'm sure it was just a fluke and I just happen to get one bad server so I will give it another go but the food was Top Shelf and the atmosphere was perfect“

“Not sure what Trophy Dad is saying, but I was there that same night and seen no issues. Everything he said could be further from the truth. I know the bartender personally and he wouldn't and wasn't doing anything of the sort. It is a very busy place and the workers are always hustling and bustling due to the amount coming in and out. Actually seen the manager out on the floor talking with folks all while helping run food and manage the entire place. Either this guy was at the wrong place or has larger problems in his own personal life and felt the need to take out his problems here. Always have a great experience at this place and love the atmosphere. I'm sure no one will miss the guy, lol.“

The depot balances small town charm with big city taste so well, you and your partner will be planning your next visit before you get out of the door. There is such a strong family dynamic in the restaurant, and such friendly staff. Not only friendly, but EFFICIENT. I kid you not within 5-10 minutes of sitting down I was digging into the most genius breakfast dish I’ve ever seen. A scramble, but in a bowl….a shuffle! If you are someone who loves a quaint, comfy restaurant where time slows down to about half speed, get yourself here as fast as you can before word gets around about this beautiful treasure.“

They had live music and that was a nice surprise. The place was packed. Very kid friendly and lots of families out on a Saturday night. The outdoor space has extra picnic style tables with umbrellas and we could hear the music from there as well. Not a huge beer selection but we found one we liked. The gift shop was small but cute. I liked the homemade jars of jams, salsa, etc. They also have a bakery and we bought some delicious donuts to bring home. Thelma and Louise were a big hit!“

“The other day was the first time I was able to eat at this restaurant. But I have driven past it many times and have had many friends speak highly of this restaurant. I went in yesterday and was served by a friendly waitress who was highly professional and the food was right. Quick, a great menu, and I loved my dinner. I will most definitely be back to Cheers.As a side note being middle-aged and having grown up as a child watching Cheers television show. I know one has nothing to do with the other. But boy boy did it bring back some nostalgia which I hadn't thought of in years. And so I thank Cheers the restaurant for doing that as well.“

“I was looking for a breakfast place on Google Maps around this area and this looked worthy of giving it a shot. Mom ordered a half order of the biscuits and gravy w/ a side of hash browns and I ordered a custom omelette with hash browns, onion, ham, and cheese. Food came out hot and fast! Ginormous fluffy omelette, asked the waitress and she said it's made with SIX eggs! No wonder there's a note in the menu for splitting plates with your s/o Very tasty. My only note is that the onions were a bit crunchy yet and a little strong in flavor- I liked them, but I know not everyone does. I tried a little bit of the gravy and it was also very tasty. Mom said she knows good biscuits and gravy, and agreed that these were delicious. She also ordered hot tea and was able to take the rest to go. Although the interior looked like it hadn't been updated since 1981 when the establishment became the "Home of The Big Breakfast" as noted on the menu, it was very neat and tidy and clean inside the restaurant. Just need a laminator for their menus.“
