We came here on Saturday to watch the Michigan football game. It was at home in Ann Arbor but I was surprised by the lack of people here! I felt like I was the only one cheering because there very little people in the restaurant! But, we got two seats at the bar right away and our food came out within 10 minutes. If you're coming here for unique food, I would say this isn't the place. The menu is pretty classic bar food with your average bar taste and atmosphere. My party got chicken tenders and fries and a burger. Four stars because I thought the chicken tenders were no different than any frozen tenders I could buy at a store and make at home but not complaining because I didn't have to cook them! Overall, a good gameday experience besides the lack of fans there. The TVs were in a good position for any table to be able to see and the volume was good. Audio was even piped into the restroom speakers which was appreciated. Classic bar food, friendly staff, and clean space. read more

First time customer...never again will I return. Here's why: 1. the salmon was overpriced and lacked any taste or seasoning. 2. About 10 minutes after I left, I had a terrible upset stomach. Clearly it was the salmon. 3. Someone stole my cc information and decided to have a party with my card information. I went through hell getting his taken care of. There were 17 pending transactions but thankful the Visa card people blocked those charges but I was out $150+ dollars. You have someone working at your facility who is dishonest and frankly should be fired. I called your pub. They said they would contact me, review the security tapes and I never heard back. Shameful business! I hope you have the day you deserve! read more

We stumbled on this beautiful town with a great local pub. The staff is friendly and the food portions are perfect. I had the delicious French dip sandwich. If you're in the area, stop in Dexter and eat here. read more

Food, service, always superb. I love the simple ambience. Food has never disappointed in the 30 years I lived here. I come back every year and this is my favorite restaurant! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Food was amazing and service was great. The Mac n cheese with pork is so good. Service is always good every time.

Had my family's Holiday party here on Saturday, and am so happy that we did. They set us up in the upstairs room where it was pretty much just my family. It was decorated really nice. The food was great and the service was exceptional! Our SERVER, JENNIFER was the best! She made sure everybodys' needs were taken care of and then some. Everyone enjoyed her company as well, she was really very nice. ~ The Napier's Party ~ read more

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. read more

Good service (timely, accurate, & friendly). DELICIOUS turkey reuben sandwich & generous, yummy salad. Arnold Palmer drinks were ice cold & tasty read more

I love, love, love the deradnaught hamburger here in all its messy deliciousness!! Fried egg, onion straws, bacon, beer cheese, pretzel roll. What's not to love? I've had it with the onion rings both times I've been here, and I will be back again for it. We also added a little more grease to our meal by getting the fried pickle chips, and those pickles were fantastic!...infinitely better than the jarred pickles one gets in the grocery store. The only disappointing thing about my latest meal was the caramel apple martini (or some such variety). While I liked the taste of it, I felt like it was too much butterscotch topping and not enough drink for the beverage. Had I not ordered the martini, I would have given my meal 5 stars! That martini won't keep me from coming back, though. I'm hoping to be able to try something other than that amazing hamburger I've now had twice! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Good food, great owner and staff......Busy but we didn't have to wait long. All inclusive menu andits more than just a pub.

Dexter's Pub was an excellent surprise for me! The food here is great, the shrimp scampi and pizzas are the best I found in the area, and offered at a more reasonable price point than most other locations. Beer selection is decent, but they could definitely use more wine options. Getting seated can be a slow and painful process, but service once seated is usually pretty good. Atmosphere downstairs is far superior to the atmosphere upstairs. read more

Their food is consisted, always fresh and high quality. The staff is kind and the owner Peter is always there and is the nicest guy!

Great service! Some of our favorites are pizza, French dip, hippy bowl, Reuben and Mexican night.

I just discovered this spot...and enjoyed an Outdoor lunch on a 40 something degree February afternoon. They have a pretty diverse menu with lots of choices, but I opted for a burger and a Bloody Mary. Both were amazing! The Bloody Mary was loaded with celery, pickle and olives with just the right level of peppery spice. The burger was fresh and tasty served with hot fries. read more

Peter was awesome to work with! I called up asking about reservations and he hooked us up. Went on a Saturday night at 5:00, before the play at the Encore Theater. There were 11 of us, we were all really happy with our food. I know some got the brisket Mac n cheese, chicken apple salad, pot roast (Saturday special), brisket sandwich, blt sandwich....our waitress was great, stayed on top of drinks, making sure we were all ok & accommodated us the whole time we were there. Will definitely pay them a visit again, the next time I'm in Dexter. Thanks again, Peter!! read more

Whenever we are in town we stop in. This time service wasn't the best. Hopefully next time.

I've been here many times, The food is really good , great patio for the summertime. but after talking to the owner I cannot continue to support or ever go in this place again. Owner is very racists and owns apartments and will only rent to certain races of people. Also he is a Trump supporter. not a good person in general after talking to him. Like I said.....food is good but I'm done putting money in this guys pocket. read more

Surprisingly good black bean burger wrap (sort of a circular burrito based around a patty). Fun sauce, maybe cole slaw? It's nice to have an inventive veggie option. Decent coffee, lots of beer on tap (from Labatt's to Bell's). Honest old-timey feel --- if you ignore the 4 large-screen TVs, the rest of the place could be from the 70s or 50s. Yes, there's some Styrofoam cups for kids' milk, but the coffee's in ceramic. My daughter was craving a grilled cheese, and the cook went off-the-menu to whip one up; simple American cheese, but perfectly cooked and went over well. This might be my new favorite lunch place in Dexter. read more

I ordered a California Ruben and the waitress told me they are out of turkey, on a Tuesday. I said I would take avocado instead. The sandwich comes out, barely grilled, cheese cold and partially melted with a couple of slivers of avocado -which was my sub for the turkey. The waitress charges me an extra $3 on top of the missing turkey and refused to remove the extra charge. Sad sandwich, poor service. Fries were old. I know this place is very well liked by Dexter residents, but let's step it up. My sandwich had NO LOVE. Cooks need to learn how to use the grill. Bummer dude. I would say the beer is great but there is always a fly landing in my drink and I had to ask for a replacement. Bar manager is sweetheart though. read more

Stopped in with the fellas for dinner. The outdoor seating was filled but they were able to put us in the back patio. Not as scenic or a people watching spot but we didnt want to wait for a table. All of our food was good. I had the ribs with the mixed veggies (good) instead of fries. Slaw was just ok but the main dish made up for it. We also had the Dreadnaught sandwich, asparagus with chicken, pizza with pulled pork on top, and a few burgers. Rhylie took good care of us a provided great service. Prices are reasonable and overall a great dinner. read more

The best restaurant in Dexter great food!, the place was clean, and the service was good.

The Dexter Pub fits the bill for a homey, local, somewhat seedy pub where if you come here enough, Yes, probably everyone will know your name. The bar is cozy with a couple tvs to enjoy the evening's games. The food is quite good, offering a generous spread of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, BBQ, and assorted entrees. The waitstaff is familiar with regulars and almost to the point of inappropriate for newcomers, who may be surprised to overhear small quarrels between staff. Overall, a decent, divey bar when you aren't in the mood for frills, and a beer and pub fare with a side of local color suits your craving. read more

Awful experience. Our waiter was so nice but the owner was a rude piece of shit. When my mother politely expressed that her dish didn't look like what was described on the menu he rudely told her to read the menu word for word next time. This guy was such an ass to his staff and was noticeable that they were intimidated by him. There definitely will NOT be a next time. Save your self the time and go elsewhere read more

Irritated to have the staff berate my table for not sitting in the right place. Hearing from the waitstaff that they were screamed at over it by the owner. Made us feel very welcome. read more

What a surprise! On Sunday afternoon we stopped in for the first time (despite living in Ann Arbor all our lives) for a post kayaking hike and expected a run of the mill pub food experience. Instead we were treated to perfect chili, a solid house salad with nice greens and not iceberg lettuce, a strong cocktail, a great burger, super nice staff, quick & attentive service & great prices. Thank you! read more

Food was excellent. Service was even better. Best part they take reservations!! We will be back

I liked the Food, the service was Excellent, liked the Atmosphere. Great place friendly staff

Didn't know a pub could make such great pizza. A friend gifted us with a pizza and grub hub delivery. Who knew right here in Dexter. The pizza made me a regular customer. read more

Great place great service Jan was great. Food was outstanding. This place makes you feel very welcome. If your in Dexter stop here

Fun, great food, and service. A perfect location in downtown Dexter. The upstairs is ideal for a party.

Waitress was rather hostile but my girlfriend and I are in the industry so we understood. Then the card reader was down and she told us to go across the street to grab cash where the atm had a fee. We wouldn't have minded if she seemed to care even a little bit. Still tipped generously but left a bad taste in our mouths. Next time we will skip the atm and go on our merry way. read more

Really irritated by the owner. I ordered food but when it came out it was not what I expected, did not touch it, and the waitress who was still standing at our table offered to take it back. A minute later the owner came, with the nastiest attitute ever. He was mean, unprofessional and from the way he was talking to me I understood what type of person he was. Despising costumers and looking down at them is not acceptable . Bottom line, I would never go back to the Dexter Pub again nor I would recommend it to anyone. I would give ZERO star if I had the option to. read more

Hadn't been to Dexter in years. Our friend suggested we do dinner at Dexter Pub on a Monday night at 5:00 pm. The place looked a little brighter than I remember. Some of the space for tables had been given up to position a waiter station at the end of the bar. Glasses on shelves, other things that must be grabbed quickly. There were 6 or 7 waiters / other staff going back and forth behind the bar and 5 tables of diners. My friend sat at the bar to order carryout. After five minutes, someone brought her a menu. I had viewed the menu online and had already texted my friend our order before I arrived ten minutes later. After I had been there about three minutes, someone came to take our orders. Well, I tried to speed up the process ... but it was not to be. My friend and I had plenty of time to chat at the bar while we waited for the food. At least that was pleasant. (That means the service was s-l-o-w.) So we get our order and go to the park for a picnic and you know what? NO EATING UTENSILS OR NAPKINS! Rather than walk all the way back, we chose to eat our salads with our bare hands - "like heathen," said my friend - and wash our hands with our water glasses. At least hubby had ordered fish and chips, which were easier to eat with bare hands and no napkins. The food was actually very tasty. I got the Chicken Club Salad. The chicken was tender yet had that grilled-over-flames taste, with no hard spots from being nuked to thaw it. The lettuce was fresh and crunchy. The diced tomatoes did not have any off flavor, and the chewy real bacon bits and grated cheddar added awesome flavor. The balsamic vinaigrette was made by reducing the vinegar first. A very nice bit of attention that paid off well. My friend got the Signature Sirloin Salad with steak and thin onion ring "strings." She said her salad was also very good. Hubby said the battered cod was meh but his small side salad was really good. Can't understand how so many people could look so busy without being bothered to help us but the food was good enough to make me willing to give it another go. read more
