Cherry Republic | Glen Arbor - Glen Arbor, Michigan

Delicious and amazing food and samples and experiences!!! Wonderful cherry traditions. When visiting I always buy a case of Cherry Soda Pop. They have a variety. I like the low calorie Cherry pop soda.
I had a noodle dish and chicken wrap. The chicken wrap had cherries in it.
Everyone was out having fun. It is in the middle of Glen Arbor. I came to see my family property Miller Hill. I love coming here. It reminds me of the olden days. The days of yore. Long ago, my family were pioneers here, so I delight in coming back to feel the outdoor spirit of this area.
They have TRIVIA on Sunday night at 5 pm. It is team trivia. It's a good time. I hope I win.
Cherry Republic never disappoints. Sample some Cherry beer and Cherry Salsa.

Hmmm, what can I say about this place? LOADS!!! We visited on a pretty gloomy late September day, first of all going into the shop, tasting ,trying, looking and we were in awe with everything being Cherry themed. You hear of themed places only to find when you get there it is just a front to sell goods that you can get anywhere else only at inflated prices. The good news is, this is NOT one of those. It is amazing, The sample bowls were brilliant and, buying the Chipotle Cherry Salsa sauce along with some dark chocolate covered Cherry's on there own was worth it. IT gets better, and folks I got to tell you. I have been to many many places in Europe, UK, and the USA and the restaurant/Cafe is by far the very best I have ever visited. So much so we will be going back cos I got to try them cherry flavoured fries again. We only stopped for a quick bite but the service was excellent, the food arrived fast, and I mean fast within 10 minutes, and it was perfect, large portions, so much so the waitress advised us NOT to buy a basket of fries as it would be massive (I'm from the UK, we love our CHIPS, as we call them?) So we opted for a take out bag and my God, it was rammed. All in all I loved this place and cannot wait to go back in better weather to spend a lot more time there and of course money, and, I was shocked with the restaurant being soooo cheap. So for sure a 100% thumbs up, this place really is ace. 🙂

Our first time to the Glen Arbor location despite many visits to the area. The team is so friendly and helpful. We enjoyed being able to taste and sample a few items before buying jams and wine and other items. The store and restaurant are tucked back a bit. Highly recommend!

Favorite store for Cherry 🍒 Republic products. All things Cherry. You name it. You'll want to try all the sample stands . Chocolate covered 🍒, Cherry salsa, Cherry BBQ, and more. Cherry wine. Cherry 🍒 🥧 which I purchased this time. It was absolutely scrumptious. Survived the drive home too. Easy to find. Hours for the restaurant and also the wine store with sampling has limited hours. You'll want to watch your schedule if you want to sample 🍷 wine. Enjoy. Yummy 😋 cherry products.

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.

Our family stopped in for some ice cream and ended up staying for awhile to enjoy the nice outdoor seating and family games available. We enjoyed the samples in the store and picked up an amazing tasting cherry BBQ sauce and some candies for the kids. We liked the BBQ sauce so much we had to try the pulled pork shareables dish which didn't disappoint.

I like their Smokey Serrano Pepper burger because it's the only option without cherries 🍒🤣 This year somehow it tastes worse though. It used to be really juicy.

I'm really impressed how this place is in the 21st century though. You come to your table, scan a QR code, and get your food. Each table has its own QR code, so it's amazing. The waiters and waitresses will just bring the food to you. God it's just such a nice perk. The whole process is speeded up. I want every restaurant to have this option. You can still talk to the waiters and waitresses if you want.

The place is also extremely well decorated and has a lot of plants and flowers. Very nice to visit. Highly recommend. Especially because you can't find that many good places in Glenn Arbor.

This place is usually packed so it was nice to visit in December when we have this quaint store to ourselves. The addition of the pub since our last visit is an upgrade and we really enjoyed the Cherry IPA. There are so many fun cherry products to explore here. My kids insisted on the Cherry barbecue sauces and my wife bought chocolate covered cherries in bulk and a lot of other fun cherry foods. Come and discover.

Not only did we have to wait forty minutes which is fine but over an hour for our food half hour into it we asked for at least our fries and Andrew said 10 more minutes and another 40 minutes we finally asked for the manager which she had an attitude right from the start we told what was going on and that the other tabled were getting free appetizers and we weren't even asked if we wanted any mind you we just ordered 2 burgers. The manager did nothing to make us satisfied or happy so we left without our food now waited total of 2 hours 15 minutes this was unreal and the manager acted like it was our fault but continued handing out free appetizers to other patrons.

Everything cherry! We ate outside on the patio, nice breeze, good music, recommend the cherry sangria and the cherry chicken salad! Also checked out the store and tried a few samples, lots of goodies. The ice cream was a real treat. Will definitely be back!

This place is phenomenal if you like incredible cherry ice creams, cookies, and candies. If being honest, their ice cream is probably better than dare I say it... Moomers 🙂
Oh... Mary, who works here, is the sweetest woman you'll ever meet!
