Block House - Alma

I'll admit, I'm not much of a video game enthusiast, but Blockhouse in Alma, MI, has managed to impress me nonetheless. While gaming is a big part of its charm, there's so much more to this establishment that makes it a hit.Firstly, the food is exceptional. The menu is consistently impressive, offering a variety of choices that never fail to delight. Each visit brings a new, satisfying culinary experience. And when it comes to drinks, they truly excel. Their Espresso Martini is the best I've ever had – a must try for anyone visiting.However, it's worth noting that the service can be somewhat inconsistent. There are times when the staff is absolutely amazing attentive, efficient, and going above and beyond to cater to your needs. But then, there are moments when it feels like they're operating at half capacity. During these times, service can lag, and you might find yourself waiting longer than expected or feeling overlooked.That said, it's clear that management is dedicated to providing a great experience. They genuinely care and often step in to ensure guests' expectations are not just met but exceeded. Additionally, the bartenders deserve a special mention for their efforts to compensate whenever the floor staff isn't at their best.Despite the occasional service hiccups, which are few and far between, Blockhouse is definitely worth a visit. Whether you're looking for a slightly upscale meal or a round of top notch drinks, this place won't disappoint. It's a unique blend of good food, great drinks, and a fun atmosphere, making it a standout spot in Alma, MI.

Espresso martini and butter chicken for the win tonight! So good to hang out with good friends at a fun place! Kyle and Alexis did a great job taking care of us ?

A surprising gem in the downtown of Alma.Passing through Alma we decided to grab brunch at the Block House and we were pleasantly surprised!I started with a solid cup of coffee, very good. Perusing the menu my friend who needs gluten free options had plenty to choose from and all of the main dietary restrictions were labeled clearly. The fresh fruit was ripe and sweet. My GF friend got the chorizo skillet it was so colorful with purple and sweet potatoes and the smoky adobo sauce was really good. I split the egg Benedict with another friend, there was almost too much chorizo on the southwest eggs Benedict but I wasn’t about to complain about that! Really great flavors overall and food came fairly quickly too.We didn’t realize this was an e sports bar and actually had never been in one before. It was pretty cool! We didn’t partake in the gaming but those who did were into it.The restrooms were clean and well maintained and the service was friendly, quick, and knowledgeable about the menu.Next time I’m driving through Alma I’ll be back!

Jennifer was an amazing server! Will definitely be back!

Had the Smash Burger and My Wife had Butter Chicken. OMG, It was THE BEST!! Atmosphere was pleasant, the feel of older shop restaurants has a taste of its own I'd Highly Recommend checking this place out.Parking: Good Parking
