Sawmill Saloon - Bar in Big Rapids - 1003 Maple St, USA

I love this place! There are people who are the time! They have many different things to do every week night. With euchre tournaments and trivia night and weiner Wednesday for tnr Mecosta. Trap neuter and return feral cats. They raise money with their hot dog sale. The owner is Linda and she is the most giving person I have met. They have a great patio and on Wednesday nights they have live music and you can sit and listen to that and have a cold drink and a hot dog. I highly recommend going here.

Unique place! Neat historical bar with tons ofocal history on its walls. Locally owned. We were pleasantly surprised at the burgers and fries. They don't have a full kitchen so it is made right at the bar. The burgers and fries were both delicious! The bartender was kind and friendly. We were there pretty easy, but this place looks like it would e a ton of fun later on. They have the best outdoor area: Back porch sitting, gorgeous fenced in back yard with lot of activities like a disc golf net and bags, a fire pit, etc. They also have a stage for live music and a piano. Very fun place. I will definitely be coming back to check out the night scene.

Really enjoy the Sawmill Saloon. The atmosphere is relaxed and low profile. The entertainment outdoors is always enjoyable. The outdoor seating area is great. Would recommend having a server or staff member in the outdoor area. The activities during the week are entertaining and well planned. The location is perfect.

My wife is a cancer patient. She smokes a CBD cartridge out of a vape pen. Everybody vapes in this bar, even the karaoke person. I don't ask them what's in there vape pen. The law states says no cigarette smoking. Anyway, the "singing bartender" approached my wife and said, there is no THC smoking in this bar to the both of us. My wife said, i don't do THC, I do CBD. He said, no I know what that is and it's THC. I said Really, I said this is Not a THC vape pen. He said, yes, that is THC because it's a vape pen. I told him there are CBD cartridges that use a vape pen. Are you accusing us if that? He said yes. I said I'm done here, I'm leaving and I will be in tomorrow morning to speak to the owner about this. Further action will be taken by the both of us

No wait staff, one bartender at first, live band (no cover) could hit their notes but nothing special. We met to drink to a lost friend and we had privacy to do that. Friendly place, all locals who know each other.

Went for drinks, didn’t try the food.. but the atmosphere lemme tell you.. AMAZING. Just like hanging at home in the backyard enjoying your people.

Older bar that reminds me of a neighbor bar. Atmosphere is relaxing. We went for lunch. They have bands in the evening, some of which are Blues. Food was good as well as service. I would like to go again in the evening when they have a Blues band. Would I recommend this place...yes.

Burger was't particularly good to begin with, and unfortunately crunched down on a bone shard after waiting for what felt like forever after ordering, ruining my whole appetite. Seems understaffed, wouldnt be surprised if the owner is the type who says "No one wants to work anymore uwu"
