Burgers built for a pint
If you are searching for burgers in Portage or the Kalamazoo area, this is the place. Every burger starts with a quarter-pound patty, pressed on a hot griddle so the edges crisp and the center stays juicy, then stacked on a brioche bun.
First time in? Go straight to Blackberry Bam-A-Lam. Try Brat Haus if you want something different. Hungry enough to make it official? Add a second patty for $3. Our burgers come with house potato chips, but if you are feeling presidential you can upgrade to tots, fries, onion rings, or a side salad and treat yourself.
These are lunch and dinner burgers, not slider snacks. Grab one when you stop by the taproom for dinner. If you have three places to be tonight because of your kids’ soccer schedule, order online takeout and pick up a great burger on the go. Vegetarian and gluten-free substitutions are on the printed menu; ask the kitchen before you order if you need a specific swap.

How we build a burger
These are not thick pub pucks. We start with a seasoned quarter-pound beef patty and press it on a hot griddle so you get a browned crust and a thinner, more flavorful bite. That method is why a single still holds up as a double.
From there the kitchen dresses the perfectly toasted brioche bun with sauces and toppings that belong on a burger
Pair a burger with a flight of five beers from the tap list, Beer Cheese Dip, or both. Order a burger and a beer we brewed. A drive-through cannot copy that. Get it now, you won’t regret it!
