Founders' sandwiches never disappoint. The Curmudgeon just might be my new favorite!
Guru PinglayNovember 17, 2010Come here on on Tuesdays for Open Mic Night. Great talent, excellent beer, delicious food, and good fun all around!
- If you come to see & hear GRJO on the first & third Sunday, be sure to come early to get a seat!
Todd BMarch 30, 2012Three words "Frangelic Mountain Brown". Everything else is great too. Great atmosphere. Michigan has great beer
Best Beer, Best Sandwiches, Best servers, Best place to meet people! EveryBODY is welcome!!!
Looking for our favorite, too bad they didn't had the honey one.
One of my top 5 breweries by far! And it's in my hometown. Nothing but love for Founders <3
you're here for the beer...duh. please see joe v.'s comment. want a sammy? i highly recommend the big easy, charise's reuben and the blushing monk
Leon MayDecember 28, 2013Be ready to fight for a seat. First come first serve. Great beer, poorly managed restaurant. Too bad. I came all the way from Indiana.
- Three words (and a punctuation mark): Detroit Ham & Cheese
Too many great beers to choose from? Try a mix - Red's Rye + IPA or Dirty Oats (Dirty Bastard + Oatmeal Stout) or maybe even the Porter with a thin layer of Oatmeal Stout topper.
Try the Bravo Ipa - Tasty IPA. You have to come to the brew house for this one.
Kevin PfisterAugust 17, 2013Great spot for waiting on a Megabus or Greyhound bus! Right next to both
EAT a Devil Dancer while DRINKING a Homegrown Spite Ale!! Mild or if you dare, the Wild! I DARE YOU!!
Red rye and lemonade or dirty bastard and pale ale two favorites of mine, might be one of yours.- Hungry? Like it hot? The Devil Dancer sandwich is a worthy choice!
Screw working at a coffee shop. Hit Founders for a later afternoon meeting or work session. Good free wifi. The beer is damn good too.
Melissa EspinosaFebruary 25, 2023Expect a really long wait. This place can get jam packed on the weekends.
order a jack and coke. the bartenders really enjoy explaining what a brewery is to people.
