🧀 This week’s grilled cheesy feature is anything but ordinary 😋

Fresh locally picked asparagus, wild mushrooms, goat cheese, Parmesan, herbs & spices, and a drizzle of truffle oil, all grilled on rustic bread and finished with our house-made lemon thyme aioli. Topped with freshly grated Asiago and served with a balsamic drizzle.

It’s rich, earthy, and ridiculously delicious.

🔥 HOT GRILL SUMMER 🔥

This and Beautiful Burger starts with Grandma-style house made pickles, stacked with two fresh smashed beef patties with melty American cheese, crispy onion tanglers, and our house made apricot pepper barbecue sauce.

That would’ve been enough.

But “enough” isn’t really our thing 😅

So we topped the whole glorious mess with a scoop of our house made cowboy baked beans.

It’s sweet. Smoky. Saucy. Slightly unhinged.

You’ll need a fork and knife… or a pair of gloves and absolutely no shame.

HOT GRILL SUMMER is here. Come get messy with us before it’s gone. 🍔☀️🤠

🚨 THOMAS UPDATE 🚨

A while back, Thomas was stress eating because of the puppies…

Well… the puppies are officially free. 🐶✨

Thomas has survived.
Jerry remains committed to “research.”
Edward has accepted his new role as quality control supervisor.

The real question is…

How many puppy patties is too many puppy patties? Asking for three friends. 🍔🐾

If you adopted one of the infamous puppies, we demand updates in the comments. Photos, names, chaos levels, chewed shoes… we want it all.

Until then, we’ll just be over here serving burgers and emotionally supporting anyone currently stress eating. ❤️🍔

🥒 PICKLE LOVERS!!

This burger is stupid good.

🍔Two fresh smash patties.
🧀 Creamy dill Havarti.
🥓 Crispy bacon.
🥒 Dill pickles.
🥒 Sweet heat pickles.
🥬 Lettuce.
🥒 House made dill ranch.

All piled on buttery grilled brioche.

It’s tangy. It’s salty. It’s crunchy. It’s messy.

And if you’re the kind of person who asks for extra pickles…

We made this burger specifically for you.

Meet the Delfread.

Available now. 💚🍔

🌮 🤤 We are about to tell you where we willingly spend our money when we’re not making burgers.

If you’ve never been to Navarro’s Mexican Takeout (2537 8th St, Muskegon Heights, MI 49444), you’re missing out on one of West Michigan’s hidden gems. This family-owned restaurant has been serving up incredible Mexican food since 1978! Coincidentally that’s the same year The Gnarly Heifer was born… The person not the restaurant 😉 

Now let’s get to the important part…

THE. TAMALES. 😍

Friends, these aren’t just tamales. These are “sit in your car and eat one before you drive home” tamales. The kind that make you question every tamale you’ve had before. Navarro’s is known for their homemade stone-ground tamales, and we’re here to tell you the hype is real. And don’t even get us started on the fresh salsa… we would happily drink it with a straw if society would allow such behavior. 🌶️

As small business owners, we LOVE supporting other local businesses. And when they’re women-owned and carrying on a family legacy? Even better. ❤️

So do us a favor:
➡️ Go get yourself some tamales.
➡️ Tell the crew the Heifer sent you.
➡️ Come back here and report your findings!

And yes… we absolutely accept tamales as payment for burgers. We checked with accounting. They were surprisingly on board. 🌮🍔😆

☀️🥗 PEACH, PLEASE.

If you’ve had this salad, let’s hear about it in the comments. Seriously. Tell the people. Tag a friend. Start a support group. Whatever feels right. 🍑😂

Fresh greens tossed in our house made honey peach vinaigrette, piled high with freshly grated Asiago cheese, house made curry candied pumpkin seeds, and our herb croutons made right here in-house.

It’s sweet. It’s savory. It’s crunchy. It’s fresh. It’s basically summer in a bowl.

And before you say, “It’s just a salad…” no way, it’s a flavor explosion 💥 

🍑🥗 Available now at The Gnarly Heifer.

Weekend Feature 🐷 🍖 🧀

Just look at that deliciousness 😳🤯😱

Pig Pen LOADED Mac & Cheese
🧀 We started with our creamy three cheese mac & cheese. Then we piled on our HOUSE smoked and seasoned pulled pork, beer cheese, and then topped it with our house made cornbread, smoked cheese, and sausage savory cornbread pudding, and finished it all with a drizzle of BBQ sauce.

It’s rich. It’s smoky. It’s cheesy. It’s completely over the top.

This is how we like to remind folks that we’re not just a burger joint…

We’re more than just a burger joint.

Come hungry. Bring stretchy pants. Regret nothing.

🔥 Scratch-made.
🔥 Smoked.
🔥 Gnarly.

Available this weekend while supplies last.

It’s Thursday…

Which has absolutely nothing to do with this sandwich, but it feels like the right day to casually drop this masterpiece into your newsfeed. 🤷‍♀️

Our Truffle Havarti Grilled Cheese starts with buttery rustic white bread, melty Havarti cheese, sautéed mushrooms infused with white truffle oil, our housemade mushroom garlic aioli, and a sweet little drizzle of balsamic reduction.

Then we go one step further…

We crust the outside with Parmesan cheese.

Because if you’re going to make a grilled cheese, you might as well make it a little ridiculous.

And yes, we know it’s 80 degrees outside. We also know some of you are absolutely going to pair this beauty with a cup of our clam chowder or cream of asparagus soup anyway. We support your life choices.

Available while supplies last. Which sounds dramatic, but realistically you’ll probably have until Saturday. 😂

Come get cheesy with us.

The Finish Line Burger is back and friends🏁🍔

Two fresh beef patties smashed directly into sweet onions on the flat top until those edges get crispy, lacy, caramelized, and packed with flavor. Topped with loads of melty American cheese, our house made burger sauce-Y2K sauce, and stacked between buttery grilled brioche buns.

Simple? Sure.

But this is the kind of burger that makes rethink every other burger.…

Fresh smashed beef.
Sweet onions cooked right into the burger.
Saucy.
Messy.
Perfectly gnarly.

Come get one before it disappears back into the burger hall of fame. 🤘
