7 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Grand Rapids

“Wild Side Brewery is everything you want in a small-town spot with great vibes. Located in a beautiful, historic brick building just steps from the Maumee River, it blends old-school charm with a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to hang out all night. The live local music scene is one of the best in the region; whether it’s a gritty acoustic set or a full band, the talent they bring in consistently delivers. It’s the kind of place where the music fills the room but doesn’t overpower conversation. Their beer selection is a thoughtful mix of house brewed favorites and rotating taps from other standout Ohio and Michigan breweries. You’ll always find something new to try, and it’s clear they take pride in showcasing local craft talent. If you’re not a big craft beer person and want something on the lighter side, try the Shotgun Ale. And don’t even think about leaving without trying the Detroit-style pizza. It’s thick, crispy, cheesy, and absolutely loaded with flavor. Although they have a solid Wild Side Amber, if I had one small suggestion, it’d be to bring in a few more dark beers—porters, stouts, browns, and reds. The hop lovers are well taken care of, but us dark beer fans would love to see a bit more variety on the maltier side. Overall, Wild Side Brewery is a must stop if you’re anywhere near Grand Rapids, Ohio. Great drinks, incredible pizza, amazing music, and all of it inside a beautiful, historic building right near the river. It’s Ohio small town charm at its finest.“

“Wow, this little pizzeria is really good! I’ve been watching the staff. They hustle but also are so very nice. Their customer service is impressive and the flavor is fantastic! My family and I are in town for Fauxchella or else this would be my new favorite place! I also operate my own small business, so I pay attention to how the employees work at other locally owned businesses. Everyone here is so nice, they deliver great customer service, and the pizza is so delicious!“
