Where to begin with this place? For starters, the service tends to be awful. I've never once had a waiter or waitress that wasn't stuck up and snobbish. Second, the food is either good or incredibly...

Traffic Jam was one of the very first brewpubs to open in Michigan in 1992. For that paving the way, I give them 3 stars. They seem to focus less on the beer now and have been left behind by...

I'm not the biggest fan of their food, but the beer and cheese are excellent. They also have decent prices on wine. You can grab a bottle from the wall in front and enjoy at your table with no markup!
