I chose to try the Block House after our sons appointment for a change of pace. All the food had great flavor and the atmosphere was different and unique. Service was very slow for being the only table in the restaurant around 6 on a Thursday evening (it did pick up while waiting). We chose street corn, a plain smash burger, sample platter w/ momos, chicken tenders, cauliflower and a gyro. Our son was more interested in the computer area and video games they have set up for use.

Very mediocre overall.
This was the second time I’ve visited the Bloc House, last time the menu was very different. This new menu was very reduced, different from their online menu. I order the 4 Corners Salad, and what I got was not at all what the menu described, plus the lettuce and tomatoes still had dirty and inedible cores that I had to cut off myself. Portions are very small, and nothing vegetarian other than salads. Our service was very nice and attentive. It seems like they are trying to be 3 different establishments at once, a gamer hangout for kids, a sports bar, and a fine dining place. And they don’t do any of them successfully. I suggest they focus on just 1 idea. Until then, I can’t recommend this place to anyone looking to eat.

Went there for breakfast and was able to get right in and seated! Food portions were generous and drinks were excellent. Very clean hipster vibe going on ! highly recommended!

We ate in the alley and they allowed us to bring our pooch. The mural is really cool. We bought 2 smash burgers and a build your own Block Burger. We added the waffle fries, pomme frites, and Ratatouille. Everything was delicious, the servings were large, and the presentation was appealing. The staff was friendly and we weren’t ignored even though we chose to sit outside. The prices were reasonable – we had 3 mains, 2 sides, a $6 beer, and a $15 appetizer and after a 22-23% tip we spent $85. There were 3 of us, the average was about $28 each, but we felt the price was right for the quality. We will come back

The Block House in Alma hosted our rehearsal dinner and it was phenomenal. They were able to accommodate our 60 guest. The food was amazing. We did a taco bar & the chef was able to accommodate a few of our guests with food restrictions. The manager Emily came up with a couple signature drinks that everyone enjoyed! We were even able to enjoy playing some games while there as well. If you are in the central area and need a place to host a party or celebration, I would recommend the Block House!

On my way home from a conference in Lansing, we stumbled upon this place for lunch. Loved everything. Our waitress was super friendly and prompt. We started with tomato basil soup which she recommended. It was delicious and a very generous portion for a “cup” of soup. We followed it up with the power bowl w/ shrimp and the spicy chicken sandwich. I highly recommend taking a detour to try this place. We will be back!!

These cocktails are overpriced, made incorrectly and we were not even asked how they were. Also an up charge for bullet over Jim beam was $4 which is outrageous we will not go back. The atmosphere was great however if you are charging premium prices for custom cocktails you should have properly trained bartenders.

The restaurant is clean and visually nice. My server was prompt and friendly. Bar service was a little slow and the kitchen was very slow. Waited an hour for food. Appetizer came out with the main course. The steak wasnt cooked the way it was requested, some food was cold or too tough to eat. Didn’t feel it was worth it to complain about the food quality because we had already been there so long so we just paid and left. Was given a small courtesy comp for the wait time but bill was still substantial.

This place is so amazing. The food is high quality and they have the best French fries that are waffle fries that I’ve ever eaten. You don’t have to game at this restaurant at all and if you do it’s only $5 an hour per person. They have Xbox, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC’s. They have games all ready to boot up and play. They have games on the devices that you would have to purchase at your house but at the restaurant they already bought the pay to play games so there are good and fun games. They have really good food and waiters. The water comes in recycled or reused alcohol bottles and you get to pour it yourself. They have great food and definitely come here if you like to eat quality food and game. Even if you don’t like to game still come beicase they have TV’s with football on and it’s just a really fun environment. Their bathrooms are very clean and look good. The controllers think are cleaned beicase they arn’t creasy and don’t have crumbs in them at all. Definitely try this place even if you don’t game beicase their food is amazing and quality.
