The Forager

A delightful oasis of good food.

You don’t typically find a curated menu of great food and good cocktails like this outside of Grand Rapids. Yeah it costs more; but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. There’s plenty of diners in the area serving the same cheap cheeseburgers and chicken fingers, but this isn’t what you’d come here for.

All our food came out quickly, was cooked perfectly, was nicely plated, and tasted great.

This is a big step up from latitudes and whoever bought and renovated this place clearly knows what they’re doing. The decor is fantastic, the employees were friendly, attentive, and well versed in the menu offerings.

Coming from Phoenix where this kind of bar/restaurant is common, it’s nice seeing places here attempting to elevate the quality. I hope to come back here next time we’re in town visiting. Kudos to the owner, staff and management for trying something new instead of the usual. ????

Walked into restaurant from back patio that was very clean and airy (impressed). Ate inside close to front corner door. Meal was really good cooked perfectly with great flavors. Cost was really great. Only negatives onion rings could be crispier, acoustic are not good and grand opening banner kept flying up causing blinding sunlight.

What a pleasant surprise! This newly opened restaurant has a great atmosphere. There is a nice patio for outside dining. The food was just excellent, as was the service. We never have seen Bluegill on a menu and it was very good. We will be making this a regular go to restaurant for sure!

Excellent atmosphere and food and service. We had the Michigan Apple Salad and the fried bluegill. Every bite was awesome. Can't wait to go back and try some other menu items. Also, the portions are very generous. Be prepared to split a meal or take home some great food.

Went there for the fist time 7/31/19 for dinner. There were five of us and we all got something different - mussels, meatloaf, bacon grilled cheese, French onion soup, homemade spiced chips, bluegill sandwich . .etc. Everything was AMAZING!! Can't wait to go back! Well done! Keep up the good work.
