Log Jam in Grand Ledge Gets Renovation, Goes Smoke Free and Updates Menu

The Log Jam in Grand Ledge reopened last March with a new owner and a cleaned up interior. Chris Fata took over the popular Grand Ledge watering hole last year and made plenty of changes, including going smoke free.

"We have a new menu," says Fata, "and we cleaned everything."

The old Log Jam had a smokey reputation which Fata was quick to fix with a new bar, ceiling, lights, carpet and furniture. Looking to draw in more Michigan State University sports fans, Fata added a few more televisions around the bar and restaurant.

In addition to offering a new menu, Fata has expanded the Log Jam's liquid offerings as well, with ten microbrew and craftbrew beers on tap.

While the Log Jam is no longer open for breakfast, there was one thing Fata dared not to change: the pizza. The Log Jam's popular pizza recipe remains unchanged, as do the fish frys. "We go through tons [of fish]," says Fata.

Located in downtown Grand Ledge, just off the corner of Bride Street at 110 West Jefferson, the Log Jam offers a cozy, friendly atmosphere one can only find in a small town restaurant.
