Best tenders in GR! Loved the atmosphere but it was very loud. Good service, appetizers cost almost as much as a meal but overall it was a good experience and great tenders!

A standard out meal, of a Poppyseed Salad with Grilled Chicken as a Protein. The salad was delivered so large I could only finish a little less than half. Great food selections overall and a fantastic kitchen. Everything they put out is top of best. The wait staff delivers with smiles and a welcoming touch. I just can not say enough. The owner, Kevin runs a Fantastic Bar & Grill.

Delicious comfort food in a fun, cozy spot!
Grand Rapids Garage Bar and Grill is such a cute, quaint spot with tons of atmosphere. It has that cozy, welcoming vibe that makes you want to linger.
✨ The chicken tenders? Juicy, tender, and cooked just right.
✨ The pickle chips? Over-the-top delicious—crispy, addictive, and a must-order!
This is the kind of place that feels both fun and comfortable, and I’d definitely come back for both the food and the vibe.

Food was delicious. We highly recommend. I got the Brisket with Garage fries. Portions were generous. Service was a little slow especially since we were 1 of 2 tables. The food more than made up for it

After a long day of sightseeing, I tried out Grand Rapids Garage. Talk about a great atmosphere, and my server was fantastic. I had their signature brisket sandwich, which was pretty good. But that salsa was fire. I don’t know who came up with their salsa recipe, but coming from a salsa snoob, this was legit good. I will definitely be back again, because I was told to try their wings, next time.

Great food. Can be loud.
– Build Your Own Burger – $14: Ordered medium and got medium-well, though it was still fairly juicy. Also ordered with American white cheese (no yellow?), lettuce, tomato, and onion. The toppings were fairly fresh and well balanced. I was not expecting the white cheese, but they confirmed it was white American cheese. Nothing major to write home about, but it was a decent burger without many flaws.
– Kennebec Fries – (free with the burger): Thin cut and fried to a darker color and deeper flavor. They were SUPER salty even after wiping them and shaking them.
Sounds like something unique, but was fairly common in experience. The waitress said the same. Researching this after the fact, it looks more like a particular potato that is bred for its fast growing, high yield qualities without losing much (if any) desired qualities for fries.
– Chicken Tenders Basket – $15: I was recommended the chicken tenders by a friend. They were hot at first and difficult to gauge, but after cooling, they were spectacular. The meat was lean and high quality and the batter was spot on.
– Roadhouse Steak & French Onion Soup – $7: My friend ordered this and said it was one of the best versions of this soup he has ever had. It had large steak chunks and a lot of them (the picture was actually of a very small chunk).
I was also HIGHLY recommended the Mozzarella Sticks (Straight Pipes – $13), but did not try them this trip.
– Service: We sat in the north half to avoid the music (fruitless, but we tried). We were forgotten at first and it took more than 10 minutes to get menus and water. After that, we were taken care of until we wanted our check to pay and leave, which took 5 minutes.
When we were served, it was immediate and friendly.
– Atmosphere: Garage mechanic like environment. Grungy and mild adult paraphernalia. I wouldn’t recommend bringing children. The music is rock and similar pop and played loud at times. They did turn it down a bit when we requested it. You either like it or hate it. They stress hosting the best parties they can and I like a quieter environment.
Some of the tables are wobbly, low, and plain. Some are tall. Some are chairs around a coffee table. Some are at the bar. Some are a lot of fun to sit around. There is a ton of variety with HOW you dine.
There is also seating just outside the front door and a large heater above that keeps it reasonable to sit out there. I was surprised how well it kept it warm as we walked out.
They also have a breathalyzer machine in the back of the north section to the right of the Harley-Davidson logo above the lottery machine (as seen in my picture). If you are concerned, you can use that. I don’t drink much at all so I cannot speak to those things, but that was unique.
– Conclusion: Amazing food, but you’ve gotta like the atmosphere to enjoy the experience. The service can have loopholes that can be frustrating. I do get the vibe that this is a very popular hang out.

We had a wonderful time here! We were staying near by at a hotel and this was in perfect walking distance. We ended up going through the back door but it didn’t seem like that mattered. It was loud inside but I expected that with this place and it honestly made the vibe better. Food was top tier. Absolutely wonderful food. We each got a burger and split an order of cheese curds and those were addicting! Burgers were cooked perfectly and the sides were great. We tried the fries and the Mac and cheese. Both were great but I gotta give the win to the fries! I added a fried egg to my burger and it was also cooked exactly as I wanted and just made everything better.
Service was great! All staff were attentive and quick with drinks, questions, etc,.

Interesting place to walk up to but when we walked in we were told to sit wherever we liked. Immediate we loved the vibes and they had consistently great music throughout the dinner. Think 2000s-2010s favorites.
We were greeted quickly and got our drink order within a few minutes. Our waitress, Cassidy, was super friendly and took our orders. We told her it was our first time and she said everything we ordered is what she would’ve recommended so we were really hopeful!
Our fried cheese curds came out nice and hot. They were delicious. Our dinner followed not too long after. Also hot. Also delicious. Throughout the rest of the meal we kept mentioning to ourselves how amazing the food was and boxed what we couldn’t eat to go.
So final rating: 10/10
Music: 10/10
Atmosphere: 10/10
Staff: 10/10
Food: 10/10
Drinks: 10/10
It’s truly a gem of a place that I highly recommend anyone to check out!
