      Always good. Nice atmosphere and excellent food and service. Location in Lowell is perfect for my daughter & I to meet as I live in Muskegon & she lives in Lansing.

      This restaurant had an impressive menu with lots of good options. I ordered the maple bourbon glazed salmon and it was not as good as I was expecting, it a little dry so I wish that there was some extra sauce on it. It came with sweet potatoes, chard, wild rice and walnuts. I also ordered the blueberry flatbread and that was amazing, goat cheese, blackberries, blueberries and honey.

      I was able to find street parking fairly easy outside of this restaurant. The service was pretty slow on a Saturday night but I think they were just really busy.

      I don't remember the name of the drink that I had, nor do I remember the name of the bartender (she was a she), but both were real good. The fact that I had three drinks might have a little to do with the fact that I don't recall those details. My husband and I were there with our realtor and we were celebrating the sale of our home. We sat at the bar in the new addition and we really enjoyed ourselves. Although I can't remember the name of my fruity drink I DO recall where it was located on the menu so I WILL be able to order it again. I really did like the new addition, hence the review. We have since moved but we aren't too far away, so we can go there on occasion. I WILL have that drink again......just maybe not as many at a time!

      My all time favorite! Love sitting out on the patio all year long but especially in the Summer. Also love the new bar area. They always have a delicious Sangria option. Couldn't possibly give enough stars. Highly recommended!

      My sister and I hit up this place for our sister date and I am glad we did! We both had the spinach and artichoke dip which was very good but nothing off from what you'd normally get with this. The salmon dish was flavorful but not cooked to my preferred temperature. I was told it was sushi grade so I wanted a medium rare cook on it. It was most definitely medium well and verging closer to well. The mango salsa always the most exciting part of the dish and the rice was seriously just plain white rice. Want to find a way to really full out the flavor of a dish? Serve plain white rice! I would have loved to see some of the flavors pulled through in the rice. Maybe a pineapple fried rice? My sister ordered the mushroom pizza with gluten free crust for my sake. It was PHENOMENAL!! Full of flavor and I can't wait to eat my left overs!! Food quality receives 3/5 stars.

      The service was EXCELLENT!! 5 stars!! Cleanliness 5 stars! Food freshness 5 stars!! Ambiance 5 stars!! No explanation needed for the rest because seriously it's just that in point!! So, with this the average is rounded up to 5 stars! I'd love to see some changes with that salmon though.

      We have been to FRG several times and found the food to be ok. Nothing great.

      The past three times we were there, including today, there was no one at the front to seat people.

      Today...after 10 minutes of waiting, I went to the back to ask someone for assistance. No one came out for a while, so we left and went down the street to a small brewery / restaurant. We are very glad we did because we had a wonderful lunch there.

      That's the last time we are going to eat at FRG.

      Another great meal at Flat River Grill. We had the brisket and the hanger steak and both were excellent. Cooked perfectly and just the right portion. We were seated immediately which is nice compared to long waits we typically have in the winter months.

      Flat river burger with goat cheese and sweet potato fries on the side. Honestly the best burger I've ever had. Meat is cooked perfectly to medium rare, caramelized onions and goat cheese are amazing additions. Couldn't recommend enough.

      Ordered the brisket. So good. Melts in your mouth. Not fatty. Must try. We ate early on a Sunday. No waiting. So nice.
