“ Such a fun place. The best beer in MI, amazing pizza and the bar tenders carry the night with wit and humor. Highly recommend! ”
“ Outstanding pizza and Stromboli. Service was fantastic! Plus it's an old fire house with some really cool history. ”
“ Awesome, unique pizzas. Love that you can get a pizza flight, especially as they have too many good options to choose from. Their beer is also top notch. Fast, friendly service. Sometime hard to find parking for takeout, but worth any inconvenience. Unique and inviting sports themed atmosphere. Worth checking out or driving a bit for their product quality. Try it once and you will be back. ”
“ Pizza here is always amazing. Service was slow but friendly and the food made it worth it. The mitten is always a fun place to go. ”
“ We came here for a late lunch. Got the classic pepperoni with black olives and it was really good! We also got the mitten lager and west coast swing and they were great choices. The star of the show was our server who we forgot to get his name. Long hair, funny, and personable. Overall, I would recommend coming here for the experience. I would however, like to see more options for appetizers. Maybe wings or fried pickles would be a good addition. Glad we came in, will be back for sure. ”
“ We would order pick up from this restaurant during COVID pretty often and loved all the pizza options. I had forgotten how welcoming and cozy the restaurant is. The decor is all baseball themed. Since this is a microbrewery there are a ton of drink options and flights to choose from. Their pizza is excellent and the many options are all wonderful. If you love a cheesy pizza this is a great place because you get an amazing cheese pull. Our go to items include the cheese breadsticks, Pepperoni pizza, the huge pretzel from the starter menu and of course their amazing pepperoni and jalapeno stromboli. All the items are buttery, salty, and so cheesy! The restaurant layout mainly has table seating and offers high chairs for kids. If you need a handicap parking space they offer one spot on the side of their building with a ramp entrance. If you come through the main doors you do have to step down into the restaurant (one step). Other parking options include side street or finding local lots in the area and walking to the restaurant. They also offer great customer service from the host to the server. They both made the visit enjoyable. We went on a Sunday and the restaurant was somewhat busy but before we asked for drinks the server was already coming with water! They were on top of it. The prices are also very comparable to local pizza places and chain restaurants too. Our pepperoni pizza was $13.99 and the cheese breadsticks were $10.99. Overall a great experience and we will definitely be back. ”
“ 4.5 Stopped by The Mitten Brewing on my way out of Grand Rapids, it's definitely a brewery I would recommend. I'd already been to another brewery before this one so I don't remember much of The Mitten's interior, though it seemed rustic. Staff there was super cool, took good care of me. I got a flight. THE FLIGHT BOARD WAS SHAPED LIKE A MITTEN! How adorable! I drank the flight. I paid and left. Would return. ”
“ Peanut butter Porter. If it a nitro it's a must have. Pizza is great. I think Oprah has been there! ”
“ Love this place! I've been here several times, but never reviewed. The beer selection is incredible with loads to choose from. I typically lean towards IPAs, and they have several. My wife likes pilsners and martzens, and she loved here German-style beer as well. The pizza is top-notch - that's what keeps us coming back. We had a few pizzas on their back deck and loved the ambiance. The pizza was delicious as well. My daughter's favorite thing on the menu is their garlic knots. The were gone before I could grab a photo. This is a great place to meet friends and enjoy the Westside neighborhood. ”
“ Pizza and beer doesn't get much better than the Mitten! They have unique pizzas and also the classics. They have upstairs, downstairs, and patio seating which I believe is dog friendly. Service is quick and efficient. ”
