Cherry Republic | Glen Arbor

"Update! The QR codes are back! My family and friends could not be happier! This place rocks and the staff are always so great! Don’t miss out on this amazing staple in glen arbor! Fantastic food, great atmosphere in the back and friendly waitstaff. During COVID and after, the tables had QR codes, which was efficient, being able to scan, pay and just have the food runners bring the food out. The service now is slower, with the servers in the back, it gets a little hectic, especially if there are large parties. We have been coming here for years and will absolutely be back and continue to come, but a suggestion to bring back the QR codes might speed up the service, and keep the patrons moving without having to cash out at the tables and cause a slower turnover."

"Lured in by two young musicians Blake and Joe, we found a table in the beer garden. I listened as these two sang about young love and summers gone by to their childhood friends playing cards at a table in front of them. They are seniors in college and about to return. In between songs they would talk about spending summers here. You could tell by the occasional blank stare on their friends faces that it was setting in that this time in their lives was ending. Everyone there were either friends or family. If a table needed cleared one of the summer breakers would do it with a smile. As for the food it was pleasantly on point. The Serrano Burger had just enough spice to keep you curious. I upgraded to the seasoned fries but the family taxed them hard. The few I got were good. All that said, the food could have been trash but ambience would have me coming back. There are only a few times I’ve been in a place where everyone is smack dab in the middle of a core memory."

"Came through Glen Arbor for a day trip and stopped at Cherry Republic for lunch. I got the Cherry ale, which was delicious. I am always a bit leery about ordering fruity beers because they often taste fake. This had a nice hint of fruit but did not overpower the beer. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Deducting 1 star because I thought the price was a little high for what a I received. $15 for a smallish sandwich and chips. Sandwich bread was cherry bread which was a tad dry and chicken salad could use more a bit more Mayo. I think when I come back I’d order something else off the menu. Overall a good experience."
