This restaurant is one in a million! The staff is absolutely phenomenal. The food is excellent, the environment is fun and the owner, Jim, always makes you feel warm and welcome in the establishment. The 2 golf simulators he has set up are the best I’ve ever used. We just happen to be driving through from Colorado and I wanted to support a local company so we tried Crankers. We ate there two more times in the two weeks that we were in Michigan. Highly recommend.

Server was fantastic 👌 👏! Food was a big miss cold and no flavor. And don't go there if you want ANY kind of quiet...They have 2 golfing games, and the owner the whole time kept playing which makes a loud bang when you hit the ball! Try eating....then BOOM 💥...NOPE

First time visiting and couldnt be happier with our experience. Big shout outs: John and Beth the veggie farmers. Dale the dairy farmer. Tiffany our server ❤️❤️. David the brewer. And Laurel the masseuse. Great food and fantastic service. Stopped for late lunch and a brew and ended up visiting the entire afternoon. Can't wait to go back.

Stopped in on way to Grand Rapids, nice place, pleasant staff. Food was delivered in short time. Family loved the Food. Gonna stop someday and check out the Brewery!!!🍻

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Tessa Zimmerman · Dec 2025

The food was excellent! The service sucked though. Granted, by the time we finished our food the restaurant was completely full, so I was more lenient at first. But after our waitress passed us several times with our plates empty on the table, I got irritated. We waited at least 20 minutes just to be acknowledged that we were finished, and after she collected our plates it still took another 5+ minutes to receive our check. She just seemed too busy to really pay attention to any of her tables.
