Tahquamenon Falls Brewery & Pub - Paradise, Michigan

Got takeout from Tahquamenon Brewery and Pub—two pasties, gravy, coleslaw, and a soft drink for steep $40. The food was okay. The 15% mandatory tip on takeout felt bit excessive, and the place was packed with a long line preventing people from getting inside. Overall, not worth the price.

Very welcoming environment so much to see and some really yummy food. Little expensive but definitely worth the experience! Had me sold when they said beer brew cheese ball, devine ya'll! So many cool little and big trinkets to purchase as well! The fireplace outside was an amazing way to end our last night of the trip, cozy and full. Love this place! We will be seeing you next year!

We stopped in mid afternoon and the bar was full so we sat in the dining room. I had the root beer on tap that was delicious. They said it comes in kegs from Minnesota.

I ordered the whitefish sandwich without a bun and they broiled it instead of frying it. It came with fries. The fish was delicious. It was a mild fish and well seasoned with salt and pepper. The fries were ok.

Service was good. You can eat outside too.

Loved this place! Food was fantastic! I had mushroom ravioli and it was soooo good. kids were thrilled with their food as was my wife. Kinda pricey but fully expected that going in. Loved the atmosphere and service was good.

Years ago food and service great. Not today. Brushetta was half a hoagie sandwich bun. Not cut, no pesto, just diced tomatoes with dried basil mixed in. The $28 bourbon pork tenderloin was small thin pieces cooked to the point of well done, then to jerky after likely sitting in the window. Way overdone for sliced meats. Bourbon sauce must have been a shortage. My potato was so rock hard you couldn’t open it with fingers to put butter inside. The plates have seen way better days. Time to buy new ones. Server took over an hour to bring a drink refill. She was in the kitchen most of our meal. Sorry but you can’t provide good service if you hang out in the back of the house for considerable long periods of time. Overall really bad experience and won’t be back.

Very nice establishment. It definitely had the rustic look and feel if you are looking for that. The food was great and our server was very pleasant and attentive. My bison burger was a bit burnt around the edges but it still tasted good enough to eat. I did not say anything about it because we arrived 45 minutes till close. I'd definitely recommend. If I'm ever in the area again I would go back.

This is a yearly February tradition for me now. Great fish! And I got to meet Vicki again, who saved my life last year by giving me a ride back to the campground at the lower falls after I unknowingly hiked to the upper falls on a closed trail (several hours in 4 feet of snow). Good memories!

I enjoyed the upper falls more than the lower falls. Possibly because there was a brewery!🍻 The only brewery in a state park anywhere in the country!
Good food, good beer, live music out in the courtyard.🎸🪕🎶 The world's largest gift shop I've ever seen 😱 a food truck. An ice cream parlor.🍦 It's set up like a small town but it's inside of a park.

Oh yeah back to the falls. Yep it's another waterfall. Yep it's a nice walk. Probably on one of the nicest engineered and constructed boardwalks I've ever seen 👀

The upper falls is less pandemonium than the lower falls. Two things I noticed. Firstly you can enter this area of the park without a daily park pass for your car. I'm guessing this is because the people who own the brewery (who used to own the entire area) probably mentioned to someone that it was not a good idea to charge for every car that entered 🤑 There is however a sign saying that you need to have a park passport. I had a day use pass from the lower falls. I never saw a park ranger anywhere in this park.
The other thing of note is a horrible ginormous aluminum bridge, apparently constructed and transported from Florida and erected across the river leading to the island between the falls 🫣.
I don't know what someone was thinking but it's certainly doesn't flow with the river so to speak lol....
