Absolutely amazing experience, the atmosphere is killer. Food is pricy, but it's worth it. Tasty, and delicious. The bread pudding was absolutely the best thing there, and the burgers were all perfect. I had no problems with anything. My friends and I absolutely loved our cocktails, appetizers, meals and desserts. And we even bought merchandise! It was a memorable visit and I will be back! Oh, and Josh was our server and he was super friendly and took great care of us.

My first time here, what a cool little spot! I loved the layout of the restaurant, also has outside seating which is great. Food was delicious, the Las Vegas sushi roll may have been the best sushi ive ever had! Will definitely be back.

My wife and I stopped in for lunch on the recommendation of some good friends, the fusion of names (Grateful Dead and The Black Crowes) intrigued me. This place did not disappoint. Melissa greeted us and explained all of the monthly specials. We ordered drinks and the featured sushi of the month on her recommendation as an appetizer; the sushi did not disappoint and the drinks were outstanding. Upon completion we ordered lunch - the service was spot on, and the kitchen was right on time. I had the Sting Me burger, best burger I have ever had - I mean it! Melissa, the kitchen, the atmosphere and the bartenders all had a hand in this 5 Star dining experience. I will go there again and recommend you try it out if you have not already.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely amazing! If you visit, I highly recommend the Las Vegas roll—it was hands down the best sushi roll I’ve ever had! Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything we ordered was delicious, the quality was outstanding, and the service was excellent. We will definitely be back. If you’re looking for great sushi, don’t hesitate—you won’t be disappointed!

Been here several times. Staff are always topnotch, restaurant fosters a relaxing environment - and they have solid menu with fair prices! 👌 I personally prefer it at lunch time or during the week because its more relaxing, but even when its busy its still a great place to eat and chill 😎 Restaurant gives Ann Arbor restaurant vibes without having to drive the city itself.

The Grateful Crow is my daughter’s favorite restaurant! We just went there for her 17th birthday and had a wonderful time. The sushi is fantastic, we especially love the Las Vegas roll! And the service is always awesome!

The Grateful Crow is such a cool place with a vibe that is "different in a good way." Their menu is far from standard—where else can you get incredible burgers, sushi, and salads all in one spot? Everything we’ve tried is well above average in quality and taste. Everything must be house made! With craft cocktails and mocktails the full bar offers an endless list sure to hit everyones mood just right. The staff is fantastic; our hostess was friendly and fun, and the waitstaff is always on point. I especially love their tempura veggies! Pro tip: Ask them to swap the burger patty for their tempura sweet potato. It is absolutely the best option for anyone looking for something plant-based, vegan, or vegetarian. Plus, they have a great rewards program and nice outdoor seating for the warmer months. Come casual or dressed up. Dont forget desert, always worth it! Highly recommend!

The Grateful Crow is a great place! The food has been wonderful every time I've visited, the staff have always been professional & friendly, the decor & atmosphere create a sense of occasion without giving me anxiety about which fork to use. The bread pudding will make you question whether you'd ever actually experienced joy before that moment. I've also had the privilege of spending time with owners Jason, Susan, and Patrick. They're continuously innovating, investing in the community, and creating opportunities for people to learn and grow. The Grateful Crow creates good food for a good cause.

Out-of-Towners stopping through for lunch. We were delightfully surprised by The Grateful Crow. Nestled back off of the main street once you glance its direction there is no missing it. The colorful mural beckoned us in and we were not disappointed. Our service was top notch. Likely some of the best service I have ever had, surpassing the upscale bougie joints that charge $75 a plate. Whoever is training and served us at The Grateful Crow should be applauded. I do not recall our server's name because I was so merrily distracted by everything else. Decor is great. Patio was perfection. They had heaters on despite it being in the 50s and it was so comfortable and relaxing. The extra cushion at each table is unique. The menu is wonderful and we ordered from the lunch menu which was perfect for us. The Mediterranean Salad rocked my world. I love a lettuce-less salad and the roasted chickpeas were freaking divine. It was lightly dressed in shallot vinegarette and I paired it with some of our panko chicken appetizer pieces for some protein. My husband had the wolf burger and it was great. Was not a frozen patty and was seasoned and cooked perfectly. He also ordered an old fashioned which he enjoyed - he is pretty particular about his old fashioneds. We will absolutely come back the next time we drive through Chelsea.
