It's been on my list for a while now and I would say it was the worth the wait. So, if you're waiting, stop! Just go! This trip, I went the appetizers route. Next trip, I might get a few different heavier options. However, I will always get the whiskey glazed Brussels. The pretzels were a little harder than my preference. The basket of fries was very hot. The Brie was pretty good as well and they definitely serve enough of it for a table to share. Whiskey: Well I actually ordered an Apple pie martini because it caught my eye on their featured menu. I then (mistake on my part) ordered two smoked manhattan's. Those were great. I preferred the smoked vs not smoked. And all were decent or standard sized glasses. The atmosphere is perfect for recapping your day or catching up with people. There's a lot of space and plenty of seating options. There's definitely a cozy feel to this place.

A couple looked in and saw that tables were available but not bussed You are a restaurant, do you not expect to be busy at dinner? On Friday night. We were eventually seated in what I call the 'overflow' room Separated from the main bar area. No table cloths No silverware. No service for almost 10 min. Candle on table, not lit. Felt like we were seated in the garage. Sad that the ambiance was flat for the money we spent to eat and have cocktails. When asking about paying the bill, we were told it's easier for her if we just pay online. There goes the personal connection that you expect when paying that kind of money. The food was delicious. Just wish the experience of eating there matched.

I love mash, but this past year they've had a door-lady who consistently ruins the experience. I…read moream 25 (and look older) and she routinely grills my friends and I as if we're using fakes. One time I made a joke along the lines of "you can ask me anything on there, I memorized it all." And she threatened to confiscate my ID and give it to the police. Not because she suspected it was fake, but because she was offended or something? Another time I asked to step outside to smoke and she said if I did I'd have to get back in line (I only asked because she, for some reason, keeps the door of the bar locked from the inside). She also dresses in a militarized costume, as if she it gives her more authority or something. How annoying she makes the experience of going to mash is well known amongst everyone I know who goes. This woman epitomizes abuse of power -- so thank god she has close to none.

Mash offers a pretty solid bar-going experience in Ann Arbor. A group of us stopped by recently…read moreafter a night downtown, looking to find somewhere we could grab a drink and catch up. Mash fit the bill (pun intended hah) and did the job just fine. The drink menu is pretty expansive, both as far as liquor selection and cocktails as well. I was also pleasantly surprised to find out that they have a few standard mocktails that they're known for! I tried the raspberry mock mule, and I'm happy to report that it's a hit. Great flavor and super refreshing, plus it offers a fun drink even if you're not drinking. The bartender was super nice and helped break down all the options as well. The crowd at mash is more collegiate than I was expecting -- I thought a whiskey inspired bar would driver an older crowd, but the bar was packed with early 20-somethings on a Saturday night. If you show up past 9pm on the weekend, there's a good chance you won't find a seat and will have to wait 20 minutes to get through the line at the bar, but Mash serves as a great place to meet up with the crew. As we were leaving around 11, we spotted a huge line out the door trying to get in too; it seems like the collegiate clientele have really designated Mqsh as the place to be on a weekend night! Overall, I'd recommend Mash -- I'm looking forward to going back and trying out more of their menu!

Fantastic food. Not a extensive menu, not cheap but definitely can taste the QUALITY of the food…read more Primarily excel in roast beef. I'm a fat ass but damn their salads are good too. So if you're looking for cheap go somewhere else. Here the price matches the quality. Service is above average. I judge this by if I must ask for a drink refill of if the server is attentive enough to notice. They are perfect here. Checking in with you about needs without being a pain in the ass. Atmosphere is subdued light in a bar Atmosphere. Yet you can talk in a normal voice to who you're with. All in all you might be tempted to pass by "bar food" in a strip mall. But at dinner time you will often see a waiting line for a table, this should be a clue that locals will wait. The OWNER is always here and will stop by to make sure your expectations are met. He doesn't want your experience to be "just" ok.

Disappointing BBQ Experience We drove in from a few towns…read moreover, excited to try this spot because they're open late (until 11pm) and we were craving some solid BBQ. Unfortunately, it was a pretty disappointing visit overall. We ordered the DQ Pulled Pork and Brisket, and both came out cold with no flavor. The corn bread was okay, and the collard greens were surprisingly spicy -- not bad, just unexpected. We originally wanted the trifecta but they had already run out of ribs. So we went for two orders of burnt ends, expecting that rich, crispy texture. Instead, they were soft, smushy, and cold -- more like baby food than BBQ. Not good at all. The only standout dish was the corn cream cheese side -- warm, flavorful, and probably the best part of the meal. Also worth mentioning: the bartender was great -- super cool and clearly passionate. The place itself has a chill, loungey vibe, but it doesn't really feel like a true BBQ joint. Final thoughts: Burnt ends: Cold, soft, no bark -- total miss Pulled pork & brisket: Cold, bland Collard greens: Spicy, but decent Corn cream cheese: Delicious Vibe: Cool, but not very BBQ-ish Service: Bartender was the highlight Wish we could've had the food to match the energy. Hopefully they can tighten things up, especially on the basics.
