Flint’s 810 Munchies Creates a Safe Space for Families With Special Needs

Updated August 1st, 2025: The opening date for 810 Munchies in Flint has been postponed. While a specific new date hasn’t been confirmed, owner Steven Brewer is aiming for sometime between August 14 and August 21, 2025.

More information in the video below.

A new restaurant is opening in Genesee County focused on families with special needs.

810 Munchies, located inside the Dort Mall in Flint, will officially open its doors on Friday, August 8th, 2025.

Owner Steven Brewer, whose two sons are on the autism spectrum, began searching for restaurants that accommodated families with special needs but found none.

As you will see in the ABC 12 video below, his search began after a fellow restaurant patron criticized his sons' behavior.

The response to 810 Munchies opening in Flint has been overwhelmingly positive, with social media buzzing about the concept.

What is on the menu at 810 Munchies in Flint?

The new restaurant will offer a variety of breakfast favorites like omelets, skillets, French toast, and more. The menu also features burgers, sandwiches, salads, chicken wings, a kids’ menu, and additional options.

A recent post on the 810 Munchies Facebook page mentions that the restaurant plans to introduce weekly specials as part of its regular offerings.

A restaurant built for special needs families is more than just a cool concept; it’s something that matters. For many families, eating out isn’t always easy. Sensory overload, accessibility issues, or just feeling out of place can take the fun out of it.

That is why having places like 810 Munchies is so important. They truly understand these challenges and create a welcoming environment for everyone. It’s not just about the food; it’s about feeling comfortable and accepted.

Shout out to the Brewer family and everyone at 810 Munchies, I have a feeling you are going to be very busy.
