T. LAWSON'S GRILL

My date treated me to a tomahawk lunch. Patti's was crowded so TLawsons was second best. Or very many choices but the dishes are creates by the chef. Food was decent. The staff must have enjoyed my date because they were extra attentive . May try again.

Heard it was good, and T.Lawsons didn't disappoint!!!!! Only complaint is that the Old Fashioned I ordered, need some help. Food and service were otherwise excellent!

Okay, you must get the pretzel and cheese! And make sure you save any remaining cheese for your fries! So so good. I had a burger, which was decent. Beer selection wasn't great but I love a good blue moon!

We flew in to the local airport hoping to have dinner in town around 6pm. Saturday Night, they were busy. We were on the wait list at 6:05pm. Young blond girl hostess, honestly said it would be an hour wait. Since there were no other choices for restaurants in this town, we had to wait. We walked around, went across the street and looked in the busy busy gift shops, and after 45 min we headed back. We sat around the bar inside for another 30 min. After an hour and a half, and a wait watching the hostess chat it up for 15+ min with her friends, whom were sitting and holding up a table, they finally left and cleared the table for us. We finally got a table just before "kitchen" closing time, and that the menu was limited to only a few items. We were next to the hostess stand, and we got to watch the hostess rudely enjoy telling everyone coming in that they weren't seating because it was closing in an hour. She looked happy saying it, and enjoyed the hungry peoples disappointment. She was clearly ready to NOT be there. Even though none of her negative vibes were aimed at us directly, I think our hostess set the mood for our evening. It was obvious to me that all these places in Grand River (Patty's 1880s, and this place) just believe they will always have more customers than they need, and they treat people as such. Or maybe it's hard to get help that enjoys their job in this area with what they are willing to pay??? IDK ..... Not impressed. Next time we fly in, we will just go to Cracker Barrel, the other direction from Grand River area. The food was OK and our server was nice, but the overall vibe was neg. No thanks.

You'll need reservations or you'll need to wait. It's very popular. They open at noon and there is already a porch full of people waiting to get in.The food is decent and the selection at the bar is even better. They've got the ability to seat larger groups which makes it a great stop for family get-togethers.

Waiting for a reservation at Patti's and came here for a drink.... And VERY GLAD I DID! This place is awesome and has a great menu. Patti's was of course great but next time I'm in town I'm gonna eat here. The bar tender was extremely friendly and talked about the history of the bar and Mr. Lawson. So much history packed into such a small town. This is just a really cool bar and grill with awesome menu options. A must visit when in the area. I'll be back!

Stopped by this evening shortly after opened to get a carryout of wings. Advertised on site for $1 wings. We are camping at canal and opted to take back and watch the evening lake views. My husband went in and ordered(phone number only gives restaurant info and doesn't answer for orders). Got our order of two 12 pc wings plain and was presented bill for $18 for each order! He questioned and said the website shows $1 wings! Was informed this is only for dine in orders. Nowhere in the ad did it mention this. Nowhere. Another gentlemen walked in under same assumption of $1 wings and was doing a carryout order. He said same thing: does not say this in ad. The response to him and my husband was oh well, it's only dine in. Rude.Points to consider: if only dine in, put that in the ad. And answer your phone calls instead of saying will see you at the homestead. And, carryout orders only require putting order together and collecting money. No waitress, dishes, tables, etc. Less labor intensive, less cost. We had our wings, pd the cost, they did taste good, but the experience getting them was less than desirable. Rethink your policy. And I hope management reads this and acts. For many people take out is necessary. For me, I avoid crowds due to very low immunity from 23 rounds of chemo, which is unending. For many, other health issues make it a challenge. Or work, childcare issues, schedules. Be glad people still want your food. Be gracious.

The food was amazing. The pretzel is a must! The live piano player was so relaxing to listen to. Workers are really nice.

The host was very nice and greeted me as soon as I walked in. My server was awesome. I asked for suggestions and she provided lots of options. I chose the Gooey Smash Burger (no onions). It was honestly one of the best I've had. Along with hand cut fries that were cooked to perfection. The vibe of the restaurant was really cool. Vintage decor with a huge bar to anchor the space. I'd like to come back and try a cocktail and another one of Elizabeth's recommendations.

Food ans service is great, but it is so damned over priced , someone is on crack, no matter how good food is ,if it is over priced it's shit don't waste ur time and for sure don't waste your money or the drive, stay at home , Oh yeah Patti's is just as bad, there is such a thing as inflation and there is is such a thing as stupid. If you drive there and eat there your stupid as they are
