  Great service, food and drink!
  Wish Happy hour lasted longer. Very good prices for the food you get.
  Diversified menu.

  I don't live in the state, but I stopped by with two other people to check this place out. We ordered three drinks: Traverse City Reisling (I think this is what it's called), Rye v. Rye cocktail, and a marshmallow beer. All of the drinks were good and I would recommend them though I can't say the same about the food.
  
  We ordered a beer cheese soup, the dagwood sandwich with coleslaw, a chicken salad, and the southern chicken sandwich with fries. We all tried each other's plates and I will say this: the beer cheese soup was way too pungent for me and I only took one spoonful, the coleslaw lacked flavor, the chicken on the salad was cold and it was filled to the brim with craisins, and the southern chicken sandwich didn't have any molasses flavor and it was haphazardly thrown together.
  
  So, this was our impression. The service was okay. We had a nice waitress and the food took a while to come out, but it all got done. I wouldn't come back for the food, but the drinks are good and it's a good place to watch the games.

  Nope. Not impressed.
  
  We stopped in (with a reservation) with a group of 25ish. Instantly our servers were annoyed and in a bad mood. I completely understand the stress and frustration that big tables can cause but main servers attitude was unnecessary.
  
  I personally ordered the vegetarian nachos, and the cheese was barely melted. I wouldn't recommend ordering these. For a main course I got macaroni and cheese and it was a little watery and lacking flavor. The weirdest part is I didn't get a huge cheese flavor at all. I will say the meal came with a large piece of garlic bread that was on another level. If I ever come back I will only get this. The Faygo cocktails were mediocre which to be honest I can't blame on the restaurant lol.
  
  Overall other members of our group felt that service was lacking and providing another server would have helped. A couple of the meals were wrong and sauce was never brought when asked. I can't say I'll be back but the place was packed. I can only assume if I had come with just myself I probably would've rated differently.

  Rochester Mills is lovely. I went for lunch with my Birthday card they sent me. Delish! I had the Ginger glazed Salmon with green beans, I will definitely order it again. The menu changes seasonally, but they have standard fare too, burgers, sandwiches, salads...
  The have a full bar, the Brew is their brews and a few guest brews. No bottles or Budweiser . I enjoyed a pint of their October Fest while they still had some availability, they're usually out by this time of October. They have a nice Happy Hour M-F, need to double check the time, I think it's 4-6pm. Tuesday & Thursday is their Growler deals. There's Playtime Trivia everyday, a Pool Table and live entertainment on weekends. It's a favorite place of mine.

  Love this place! Expect a wait on weekend. The crab dip is my absolute favorite thing on the menu but I branched out a bit this last weekend. **PRO TIP** There's a special for a free cup of soup if you check in on the Yelp app! I tried the beer cheese soup which was so tasty and comforting. Then I tried the Hungarian Goulash. So good! The gravy was rich, the meat was tender and the spatzle was great too. and that garlic bread! It's basically like a cheesy, garlicky naan. Their beers aren't bad either! I love the Juice Bigelow which is a seasonal for summer but it was still warm out. Great spot overall and they also have happy hour specials.
