    Sriracha Chicken Sandwich
    Gregory T.

    Can't fully comment on food today, Saturday October 19. I ordered the Sriracha Chicken sandwich. Suppose to have avocado, Cole slaw and jalapeño.... well, look at my pic and see it had none of the above. No napkins, no silverware, no water, the guy in the U of M shirt behind the bar yelling at staff.... Won't be back. Don't come if it's busy. Wait staff was excellent.

    Dreadnaught burger and if you're ever up this way you have got to try it. It was very very good.

    We stopped in during a Wednesday dinner rush - had to wait about a half hour for inside seating. Waiting by the front door seeing the staff carrying food out to the tables and then also bringing dishes in showed they were patient, hard-working folks. Our waitress was so pleasant and cordial as well, and our food didn't take as long to arrive as we had expected. We noted the many specials they had and will be back next Wednesday to try their Mexican fare. Thank you for a very pleasant evening.

    Place was packed just after noon on a Tuesday. Got a bar seat and a few minutes passed before I got the server's attention, but once I did my beer and food arrived quickly. I'd ordered the house Cuban sandwich, one of the day's specials. Can't complain about the portion, but the pulled pork seemed overly smoky, I thought, and rather dry. A little more of the chipotle mayo might have been a good idea. Fries were crisp and tender. Overall atmosphere here is cozy and clean. Seems like a well kept and popular small town tavern.

    Seems the service issues were resolved today. Went for early Tuesday lunch. Plenty of staff, all working non-stop. Order from the Tuesday lunch specials menu: chicken tacos. What happened was expected: fried chicken cutlet in a soft flour tortilla. Rather good and definitely a tenth generation European Midwest immigrant interpretation of south of the border cuisine. Dexter had continued to develop its "cool town" feel. This is a standard place for adults wanting bar food plus some extras with seven large screens focused mostly on sports.

    Great to have the outdoor seating option. I understand that many places are experiencing shortages of food so I cannot really hold it against them that a few things we tried to order were out. Once we found something available on the menu and received it, the food was tasty. We will return. The fries were good and the tables and outdoor space were clean.

    A&W Restaurant - Chicken Strips

    A&W Restaurant

    (66 reviews)

    What's your favorite kind of burger? This is the question to begin thinking of when you are craving…read moresomething from a place like A&W. The drive-in restaurant is an american cultural institution and brings instant nostalgic vibes. We visited this location on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I ordered a double bacon cheeseburger, chili cheese fries, and a root beer freeze. The burger was a little dry but the bacon was cooked well. I also thought the burger portion was a little small but there is plenty of food with sides. I added some chili cheese fries to my meal and the topping was a little sparse but that was okay to make it edible with just fingers and not need a utensil. The root beer freeze was amazing, all the benefits of what you think a root beer float should be but premixed so you don't have a large mess. We also tried some cheese curds which were nicely fried and squeaky. I sampled one onion ring and it was okay, but I prefer the breading to have more texture, whereas this one was smooth on the outside. It tasted like a classic beer batter. The chicken strips were my favorite part of this meal, and they also have a chipotle dipping sauce which has a little bit of spice. The breading was nice and crispy but the meat was tender and juicy. The service was prompt even though they were busy and when you are ready to order, you can turn on your hazard lights. This location does have quite a bit of outside seating with picnic tables and some umbrella shades. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to eat!

    Good fast food with the drive-in diner experience. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Their…read moreroot beer and floats must not be missed. Their fries and shakes are good, too. Probably the best thing on their menu are the breaded chicken tenders. They always serve them very hot, but they're tender and juicy. I noticed the last time I was there that the tenders are also available grilled instead of breaded. I'll try that next time. The one disappointment there is minor, but worth keeping in mind: don't drink their water. When ordering some kids' meal combos there, I chose water as the drink, expecting to receive bottled water. They brought cups of water instead. The water tasted funny too the kids, so I tried it. It turned out to be tap water, treated with a water softener, making it taste salty. Avoid their water!
