Did the Sunday brunch and not sure if it’s worth the drive and the price. If you live closer to this location (Armada) then I guess try it and if not, there are lot of other brunch places with much cool / energetic vibes and variety.
Brunch was buffet style. Staff had no energy, and didn’t look like they were passionate to do the job.
I’d say for the drive time and price paid this is below average.
My honest rating is a one star but adding two just being generous.

So for a weekday it was really busy, but my mom and I managed to get a table pretty quickly. I had their signature Big Apple Burger and paid extra for truffle fries. I asked for a burger with “no pink” but there was so much pink (which I didn’t mind, but it wasn’t what I asked for). The truffle fries were AMAZING!!! Also, if they tell you that the wait for food would be 30-50 minutes, it’s probably going to be 50 minutes. It even took forever for us to get drinks and to place our orders. But the service was really nice overall!!

Our waitress Stacey was awesome. She was quick to say “The breakfast brunch buffet was worth it,” oh my everything was delicious…the quiche, the gravy, barbecue chicken, macaroni and cheese….I almost forgot to take pictures.
I am glad I finally was able to have Blake’s Experience

I don’t even want to give one star but we were very disappointed with our service today. We normally love to go to Blake’s especially during the fall season and spring for the flowers. Today we went for the Gilmore Girls takeover. We went to the taproom and it was great in there we got great service and had a couple drinks and played the games provided that were themed for gilmore girls. When it was time for our dinner reservation we didn’t have to wait long which was great. There was also live music which was amazing! Once we were seated we only had our server bring us our water and cocktails and we never saw her again. The food was not worth the price at all. The service from our waitress was not good. Again we only saw her once for dropping off our drinks. We needed more napkins and the food was not great so that was very disappointing. I’m not sure because we are young if she assumed we weren’t going to tip well or not but I’m very sad to make this review as we normally are very happy with Blake’s.

Amazing atmosphere! The establishment and setting is very nice and comforting. Service was slower but friendly. Food was good but the mashed potatoes were not cooked all the way thru as they were firm. It’s an expensive place and you’re obviously paying for the ambiance which is understandable but I expect a bit more. Also no free rewards programs or any incentives for returning. Nonetheless will definitely be back as we enjoy the sites.

Our server Riley is great! I brought my parents out for the Friday fish special it was amazing!!!!! Bobs pot pie was top notch yet again! When you come out ask for the prickly pear hard cider it’s my favorite.

Incredible location. It is huge with places to watch cider being made, have beverages all kinds of food and those amazing cinnamon doughnuts. If you order one of the porters it comes with a doughnut. The bar tender serving us was very enjoyable to talk to and knowledgeable about everything Blake’s.

So amazing had an amazing time with friends . The cider was great. Had a cider flight 2.00 a glass. Salted Carmel was the best.

Waited for over an hour when the estimated wait time was 15-20 minutes. Terrible service, staff was very rude. Do not recommend if you don’t want a very long wait time. Mac and cheese and fries were cold and there were flies flying around. Burger was not medium rare.

Okay wait, I need to gush for a second because I am such a huge Blake’s fan. I seriously love the taproom with my whole heart.
The food? Unreal. My go-to is the Apple Burger and it never disappoints. The meat tastes so fresh and juicy, and my cousins and I are obsessed with the apple chutney they put on it. It’s that perfect sweet and savory combo that you think about later because it was that good.
This time I tried the Coconut & Chocolate hard cider, Mango Habanero, NY Strawberry Cheesecake Slice, and even a special experimental Prickly Pear cider. I love how creative they get with their flavors. There’s always something new and fun to try.
We went during the chili cook off yesterday and it was extremely packed, like barely-find-a-spot packed. But our timing was actually perfect. As soon as we walked in, a four-top had just left, so we were able to get a table immediately. They cleaned up the area super fast and had it ready for us in no time. Even with how busy it was, our drinks came out in less than five minutes and our food was at the table within just 18 minutes. I was honestly so impressed with how smoothly everything ran.
This was my second time coming and both times have been such good experiences. The vibe, the staff, the speed, the food. You don’t just come for the cider, you come for legitimately amazing food too. I can’t wait to go back again.
