Loggers Brewing Company — Restaurant in James Township

The beer is average for Michigan, not super good, but not bad either. I drink a lot of craft beers from all over Michigan, and really I this isn't good enough to make me come back again as a special trip, but if I was in the area and wanted a beer I would stop for that, but not for the food. We had 3 beers while we were there and the service was very slow. There were 2 people at the bar when we came in and they left shortly after. During our stay an elderly gentleman came in and got a growler filled, and 1 other table of 3 people came in. To drink we had a woodtick stout, it was an average stout, a so much drama saison, it had an odd aftertaste, and finally the Vienna Lager, it was the best of the 3. The bar menu says they have free popcorn, and had a popcorn machine sitting in the corner, but nothing was made up and when I mentioned it the server didn't respond, it may have been because he seemed more interested in the movie Dumb and Dumber which he had playing. The atmosphere is rustic and charming and showing thing from the logging history of Michigan. On to the food, that is made from a different company, you fill out a menu yourself and take it downstairs to where there are 2 people waiting to make it for you, they do bring it back up to the table, but that was the only nice thing about it. You must pay for the food separate from your bar tab. I ordered the special for the day and my boyfriend ordered the roast beef hoagie. My special was cheaper than the hoagie, and had more food. It was $9 and all the other sandwiches on the menu are $10. The special was roast beef with cheddar on a kaiser roll. It also came with chips and a small cup of cole slaw. My boyfriends meal was only the sandwich and a bag of chips. The food all came in take out boxes in a plastic bag and it felt like they didn't want us to stay and eat. We had to figure out who got what because there was no markings on the boxes to set anything apart. This also confused the group of 3 who came in after us as none of their items were marked either and like our food it all looked similar. The guy who brought the food up just set it on the table without a word and walked away. He didn't even acknowledge my thank you. Both the special and the hoagie had roast beef on them. The meat was just standard lunch meat and was nothing special. I could have made the sandwiches at home for less than half the cost. The chips were just bags of chips and the cole slaw tasted like standard cole slaw from Gordon Food Service. Seriously most of these items could be brought from there and you could make the same meal at home just as easy. If you want more people to come in the food and the service of both areas needs a lot of...

I just left loggers brewery for the first time as I’ve been wanting to go in there for almost a year since my daughter goes to the horse stables at Willow Pond. The beer was great but I will say that the bartender Shelby barely greeted me and then the second bartender came in she didn’t even speak to me at all. Just not very friendly service as obviously I was not a regular. So I would say your beer is very good, your customer service had to be better. Just because I’m not a local that lives down the street and is there every day doesn’t mean I should be treated any different. She never asked if the beer is good or if I like it but I did tell her that I liked the beer she never asked if I wanted another beer or anything else on my order so I just got two beers to go and left. Maybe she was having a bad day or just doesn’t wanna be there but either way your beer is excellent but I was not impressed by...

We went here last night for a surprise birthday party and had a great time. The only reason I gave them a 4 is because I was s little put out that the waitress felt the need to tell the patrons to be careful about the drinking because the beer is stronger and will effect them fast. It was early and the only one under 21 was my granddaughter, who was out by 9 o'clock. She also told my husband and son that if they got rowdy she would leave it up to them to take care of it. Are you serious? I would think she might not be there best advertising for Logger's. No body was rowdy and I think it is tasteless to have a waitress telling people how much they should drink. Otherwise...
