MiddleCoast Brewing Company

Food was good but it took us over an hour to get 2 breakfast entrees...will likely not be returning again unfortunately. Staff was friendly and the place had a good vibe though!

It’s worth your salt to visit MiddleCoast Brewing. That’s especially during mid-afternoon when you and your friends can kick back and visit without having to talk over the noise of the crowd. The beer is plenty good. The food is its equal. Chuck does more than whip up tasty nosh; he cooks it up with pride. That was apparent when we asked him about his BBQ shareables. Chuck didn’t just list the accompanying sauces. He hustled back to the kitchen, brought out a selection in one-ounce cups, and urged us to sample them.

That’s when we realized something: the key at MiddleCoast is to keep it simple. Get the Chicken Tenders with whiskey ginger sauce. Sure, tenders are standard bar fare, but Chuck’s are a cut above! They’re particularly good when paired with a malty-smooth Old Toad English Ale. Or have the Chicken Wings with hot honey sauce. These’ll set off a little volcano in your mouth. Which is why a State Street Easy pilsner may be needed to cool yourself down.

Great food lots of gluten free options!
Terrible service

Decent beer

Nice, spacious brewery with great selection of beers!

Really good food and fun atmosphere!

Love, love, love. I came here for breakfast with my two kiddos and not only was the service friendly and the food delicious but they can make anything gluten free!!!!!! So helpful and such beautiful food. Thanks for being friendly to those of us with gluten issues🦄⭐️🌸

Excellent salad and shareable today!
Service was excellent as well.

Best waitress ever. Super sweet, knowledgeable . Service fast, never wanted for anything

Delicious, (celiac gluten) safe food and wonderful owner. I’m so impressed with the gluten-free fare at this place and the quality. We had both the gf chicken tenders and regular and the gf food was better in my opinion (and I’m not gluten free, my son is celiac). The fries were the best I’ve ever had and were real potato slices. Pizza/flatbread was so good I wanted two and so was the crispy chicken salad. Very kid-friendly seating and pinball machine games. Bravo!👏 🤩

Best breakfast I've had in Traverse City!

Had the Petty Waffle.

We thought the happy hour was all day Thursday. Was out and about and stopped by, asked the hostess if happy hour was all day. “I don’t know.” Don’t you work here?

So, we left and ate and drank elsewhere. On our way back to our car, we heard music. Went inside and there were 2 people in the front area, and maybe 5 by the bar. It was open mic, but NO one was there to play, so the host was playing and he was fantastic. While looking around, I saw a poster that happy hour IS all day.

It was very weird, we were at another brewery a few days before, that was off the beaten path (of downtown) and there were lots of people and a longggg list of people to play open mic. NO happy hour. Why is this place dead, especially when there’s a HH? Wonder how many people like us came in, and left due to the incompetent hostess.

Before this, came in to play speed trivia, which was fun. However, bone up on country music, boy bands and 90s bands. Apparently there is NO other music that exists for the Music Category (1 of 4). And suggestion: since the game is completely computerized, it would be fun to divide the team points by the number of people on a team. That seems like it would be more fun “competition” between 2 and 7 person teams, since the host encourages teasing.

It's one thing to make your house beers, but to claim you make your own tequilla, that's too much! 🤣. We attended a reserved group dinner event. Beer and margaritas were free, but a shot of tequila was $10.50 🤣. This was only fair bar food. The entire restaurant ran out of food! Ouch ​🤕

It had been a while since to stopped by Middle Coast Brewing and we were greeted with a big smile by Mark who was a familiar face from GTRS! The breakfast was fantastic and the outside seating was perfect! Highly recommend stopping in!!!

We LOVED our gluten free food so much we came back for a second time while visiting Traverse City. We had gfree chicken fingers, flatbread and fried pickles. Beer was great. Atmosphere was on point. Kids loved the darts and pool tables.
