Reviews for Black River Valley Pub in Bessemer, MI
Friendly staff and I believe the owner himself was helping out, but not because the staff needed it, it seemed like he wanted to... be there! Really cute decor and layout. The food wasn?t bad either. The chicken strips need a little flavoring, the batterthey?re fries in has potentional, but I suggest giving the ?acorns? a try, it was a surprisingly good appetizer! Read more
I would not recommend this restaurant to out of towners, because the older gentleman at the door discourged us from staying. He... told us it would be 1/2 hour to 45 minutes wait even though the restaurant was only half full. It was a 45 minute wait for usthe people that were not local. Local patrons that came in after us were served and left before we received our food. He allbut came over and told us to leave that he didn't have a crystal ball when we were going to be served. We were going to pay forour drinks and leave, but our food was served and was very good and the waitress was very sweet Read more
The owner was friendly. One of our pizza's came out under cooked, amd one took and hour to get because they burnt the first... one. Our waitress was friendly but it took forever for us to get refills and our food and our bill. There were only a smallhandful of people in the restaurant, so i dont know why we had to wait longer than people who arrived after us to get our food(not counting the pizza that had to be recooked).The service was mediocre and the food was the same. We won't go back. Read more

This place is incredible. It was recommended to my husband by a local gentleman so we thought we?d give it a try yesterday... (06.08.2022). There were no regrets, except maybe that our appetites weren?t bigger! The kids got a 9? pizza to share andenjoyed it. My husband and I got the all you can eat pasta. It came with a salad that had the best homemade ranch and homemadepickles either of us had ever had!! It also came with this buttery, flakey, delicious popover rolls. The service was also a 5+star experience. The server we had was the absolute politest and the gentleman that helps run the operation was the sweetest andkindest person. They didn?t even mind when the kids started to get a bit restless! We will be heading back for supper againtonight! Read more
Jack and Gene were the best dinner hosts one could ever ask for! Jack interacted with the children, was very pleasant and... polite, and made the delicious meal even better by his interactions. Julia was our server and she was very pleasant andefficient Everything we ordered was delicious, the sweet potato fries were tasty, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. We gotthe homemade brownies for dessert, and they were the best, I think the whipped cream was even homemade. Thanks for a greatdinner! We will go here next time we are in the area. Read more
Exceptional service, and everyone was so friendly! We were glad to have a reservation, as it was very busy on a Saturday night... during ski season. I had the Italian fries, and I wouldn't get them again due to there being WAY too much garlic for mypersonal preference. (I would've prefered a garlic flavor but not a "crunch" of so much minced garlic in every bite.) The tablealso tried the bacon chicken ranch pizza, and it was delicious. One of the Saturday specials was fried chicken, and it was good,but we'd like to try the burgers or in-house-made chicken tenders next time. Read more
The menu is limited compared to previous years/owners. The staff is very friendly. I am told that the crabcakes are phenomenal.... It's not a bad place, good drinks and good enough food. Read more
