Stumbled in here last minute after a day at Cedar Point- we were gonna eat somewhere else but we were just hungry and were ready to just eat anything. Upon arriving, Chappell Roan was playing and the waitress was singing so we knew we made a good choice! There was a nice selection of beers/drinks, and a good one page menu of food- which included pizzas, appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, etc. I got the buffalo chicken pizza and I'm not going to lie, it was probably one of the best pizzas I've had it was a crunchy thin crust pizza with a couple cheeses, chicken, ranch, a nice and not too tangy buffalo sauce, and some bacon pieces that surprisingly didn't overwhelm the pizza! We also got the meatball sandwich, and the bbq bacon burger. The burger was on the small size, but the aioli in it mixed with the grilled onions made the burger so savory sweet I loved it! Street parking and less than 15min from Cedar Point! read more

Saucy Brew Works - Brewpubs Near Me - Sandusky, Ohio

Stopped for lunch and some adult beverages since we were in from out of town. Sat down at the bar and ordered a Bloody Mary. Bartender seemed perplexed - then pulled out some mix and said she had enough for one. I asked for it spicy and she said she only had Franks red hot. Then after she served it she said she didn't have that and asked if I wanted horseradish. I declined. Drink looked dark - with no garnish. Wasn't impressed. Friend asked for Prosecco - they didn't have. Then asked for Hefe - they were out. Then asked for their lager - they were out. How is a brewery out of all their own beer? Passed on lunch and went down the street. Wasn't impressed overall. read more

Great time at Saucy today (Labor Day). They have a big menu, but the pizzas were buy one, get one, so we did! The lovely couple sitting next to us at the bar suggested the "Bees Knees" and we were not disappointed! The fungus amongus pizza was also delightful. We enjoyed the Juicy ASAP and the What's His Nuts beer. We didn't try any others. read more

Saucy Brew Works - A great spot, close to the marina. - Brewpubs Near Me - Sandusky, Ohio

Stopped here from out of town. We are familiar with the other location in Columbus for beer. BUT coffee on one side and a bar/restaurant on the other AMAZING! We both had a cappuccino. They were excellent, smooth texture, and great coffee flavor. We also had an apple pie bar. It just like an apple pie but better. It was sweet but not overly sugary, bit of cinnamon and walnuts. We sat facing the street, watching it rain. Very nice atmosphere. We went outside and then over to the bar/restaurant. We bought a couple six packs to go. The representative was very nice and got us a box for our beers. We also bought ground coffee by the Saucy brand, can't wait to try it. read more

Let me preface by saying that it was a last minute decision to come here since the original place we had picked out was closed. For a last minute audible, it was okay but certainly not a place we'd be itching to come back to. They were almost completely empty at 6pm when we arrived. The place seemed so disorganized- things were on the beer and kid's menu that they didn't have. The adults received their food first and the kid's food came about 10 minutes after. The ambience was nice- they had tables outside and a sitting area, bar, and other tables inside. You could see the lake from where we were sitting. Our server (I didn't get her name) was super sweet. Food wise, my husband and I split the salmon BLT and the Parmesan wings. The sandwich was good but certainly lacking on the toppings. The fries were the star of the show. The wings were okay- they were crispy which I love, but barely had sauce/flavor. My mother-in-law also got the wings and hers were drenched in the sauce so it was probably just a slip up on ours. Our daughter enjoyed her grilled cheese and our niece seemed to like the Mac and cheese- but be aware because it's not "yellow" Mac and cheese (parents- you know what I'm talking about). In all, I couldn't imagine any of us choosing to come back here for any reason. read more

Two straight visits here have resulted in lousy service and subpar food. Bartender did not have a grasp of the beers on tap. No servers to be found. Kitchen was understaffed. A great location is being ruined by understaffing and poor management. read more

I love Margherita pizzas, but they didn't use San marzano tomatoes which makes a margherita pizza. That threw me off, to be honest. Still tasted fine but wouldn't return for their marg pizza. read more

So. Saucy. I had so much hope for you. I went three times before writing this to try to get a true sounding, but the depths still elude. I should start out by saying noisy bar environments filled with high top tables exclusively is not my bag. Saucy offers several types of experiences aside from the shouty bud-light bunch. I was on the patio for one excursion and in the upstairs dining room for the other two. Service was reasonable except for my request for water without ice being promptly ignored on all 3 visits. Lets talk about the pizza. I am admittedly a pizza snob in my old age. Saucy touts their wood fired pizza as something special, trust me, it is not. I had visions of a Napali style pie right here in my back yard... and it disappointed on all of that standard completely, with one exception. The crust has potential, but so do quickee-mart attendants. While glutenous, it lacks a good edge to hold and it's finished consistency is less like Naan and more like cardboard. The toppings seem fresh and totally harmless. This is a big diameter pepperoni place and that usually means lame flavor, but ther is a hint of pepper but no edge char. The cheese is a reasonable portion of basic, flavorless, whiteness saved by the sprinkles of Gooby-dust on the top. The best thing about the pie is the sauce. Which they very trendily give you very very little of. Honestly if this had a chain style volume of sauce I probably would have overlooked the rest. But, and I am not exaggerating at all, the tablespoon of sauce spread on the pie simply isn't enough. The first one I had was hot and exactly as described above. The second one was as described above and delivered room-temperature. After requesting a second lap for a reheat it was at least hot. Also, the crust had a crunchier consistency, which was to be expected, and was better, or at least different. Enough about the pizza. Let's talk about the Saucy Burger and some sides. On trip 3 I figured that I had sussed the pizza pretty well, so I ordered the burger and fries. The burger was presented well with shoestring fries and a plastic ramekin of catsup. Here endeth the joy. I do like blackened proteins. Tossed onto a particularly hot surface briefly to char slightly the exterior. It adds a differentiating flavor and a smidgen of crunch. My burger was blackened by being tossed onto a particularly hot surface and then left there. The black edge "crust" was fully 1/2" of the diameter of the patty. Don't get me wrong, in today's litigious world, well-done is the burger safety standard. This was effectively burnt. The toppings were overall good with the 1000 island dressing doing its best to revive the patty from its trip to the river Styx. The bun was actually VERY good. I can think of several uses for it that don't involve Saucy Brewworks at all. The biggest issue was that the patty was over done and the cheese added after being bunned. There wasn't enough heat in the patty to melt the cheese. Burnt, then rested till cool then assembled. I took one of the two slices off. One slice of cold cheese is enough. (it was refrigerator cold!). The fries were amazingly perfectly prepared. Several plates of them would have been a better meal than the burger of doom. Enough about the burger plate. Lets talk apps. I ordered the mac n cheese with one of my pizzas and it was the star of that meal. Not only did it give me something to do while my pizza was getting the re-heat, but it was hot and tasty! I have had scant few mac n cheese that were better outside of my own kitchen. I splashed a dab of pepper from the shaker and it was just right. Prior to the burger of doom, I ordered the Korean ribs. It arrived in a bowl with rice and what seemd to be kimchee, but wasn't. The ribs were sliced exceptionally thin, but were very very good. Properly grilled and seasoned and sauced it was a delight for the taste buds. The best thing to pass my lips from Saucy ever. The rice was harmless with boil-in-bag consistency and neutral flavors, which is fine as a starch against the excellent ribs. No awards, no grumps, just filler. The "spicy" vegetable heap was just that, minus the spicy component. Seriously, it is 2022 and I can get authentic Korean kimchee to my door next day. Gallons of it if I so desire. These folks are definitely "saving on food costs". To the uninitiated this wad of soft cabbages and onion bathing in Frank's probably seems exotic. Let me assure you that if this dish had the real deal I would likely have given 4 stars. The rib flavors would have mixed with the kimchee and that would have been EPIC. I would have forgotten about the cardboard pizza and Satan's burger of doom. So, you should probably give Saucy a try. Get the Korean ribs and some mac n cheese. Maybe sneak a little good kimchee with you... Your mileage may vary. read more

Turned away because of our service animal. The manager mumbled something about the health department and their open kitchen. Food is not available at the outside seats. Hard pass. read more

My wife and I went for an early dinner. We walked to the location from the public boat docks. Incredible service and the food was so delicious. My wife got the pizza and I ordered the Philly cheesesteak. I have to admit I was expecting just your average attempt at a cheesesteak but it was awesome. Toasted bun and everything more. We shared a flight of 6 beers. The Verde was an unexpected favorite. We will be back. read more

Yes such a fun time ! Great beer great service! We can't wait to go again love the atmosphere and service here.

Excellent wings and beer selections. Nice atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. They also have brick oven pizza

Absolutely awful! Do not go here. Food took over an hour they weren't busy. Even our drinks took 25 minutes and they were wrong. We all got salads and they didn't come with the dressings. This place SUCKED (other locations are good though) read more

Everything about this place is awesome! I'm definitely skeptical while traveling & looking for restaurants to eat in! The waitress Damali was SO kind and welcoming! They did not have a kids menu, but that's ok! We ordered our girls (4&2) a smash burger and they cut it up and separated it onto two different plates for us. THE FOOD IS GOOD. I'm picky.. trust me. I got the Philly cheesesteak & it was SO HOT. My family got Nashville hot chicken sandwiches & my mom got the Chopped salad. MMMM... & the fries.... Don't get me started 10/10 actually 100/10. I'm impressed read more

Garlic Parm wings were very good. Service was great. Went with a large group of 25 and staff was very accommodating.

Very friendly service, server was Deontre. Made great recommendations and even told us where to catch a great view of the sunset. The menu had a really eclectic offering. We loved the variety. My kids had the pizza, pretzel bites, and Mac n cheese. Me and hubs had Korean short ribs with kimchi, roasted beets, Brussels sprouts and beef. Great beer choices available in full pour and tasting size. Would recommend. read more

Nice, clean and pretty hip place definitely. Plenty of drink options and few food options. If I have to rank them on drinks, I will say 5/5, ambiance is 5/5, customer service is 5/5 but food quality and price especially for steak is 1/5. I paid $40 for a steak that didn't come with any sides or extras but the quality of that steak, display of food and presentation was way below the price point. read more

I'm visiting from out of town and Saucy's was recommended. This ribeye special was fantastic. It was an aged ribeye, smashed potatoes, mushrooms and a blue cheese sauce. I asked for my mushrooms and blue cheese on the side. I ordered my steak medium rare and it was absolutely perfect, this was the best cooked and best tasting ribeye I have ever eaten. The combination created when creating a forkful with a little of everything on it was fantastic. I would highly recommend eating here. My waitress was very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. I will be back before I leave to try the Bees Knees Apizza read more

Saucy Brew Works - Aged Ribeye, smashed potatoes, mushrooms, blue cheese sauce - Brewpubs Near Me - Sandusky, Ohio

Worst service I've ever had in my entire life. Our waitress was rude and seemed annoyed from the very start. Took our drink order which took 25 mins for our beers to be delivered. I asked that our appetizers come out first in which she responded "yeah they always do" with an annoying undertone. We got our entrees before our chips and dip appetizer. Food was underwhelming. We asked to speak to a manager who was less then apologetic...to add to that our waitress began making rude comments and remarks about getting us "out of there". Needless to say, I will NEVER return. read more

Stupidly expensive for the most basic foods. Beer is alright but I can get a six pack at the gas for the price of 3 at the bar. Bartender was alright if he didn't creep out the lady I was with. Just another one of these "new" Sandusky places that cater to the people that are here 3 months of the year. read more

We absolutely loved the pizza here, beer was also excellent. Recommend the IPAs and also loved the pumpkin beer.

Great experience every time, whether it be the coffee shop, bar, or restaurant. Good food, drinks, and friendly and fast service.

I ordered the same drink I had the week before which was in a tall glass for $11 and this week I order that drink for $11 and it's ni a martini glass. How do you explain that?? keep your glasses the same. total ripoff!!! read more

Me and my lovely wife wanted to try a new place downtown Sandusky we chose this spot I had the ribs which were below average and my wife had the Salmon BLT that she claims that was below average we got in the car and looked at each other and said never again read more

Preface I'm slightly biased as I've visited all the other Ohio locations and a fan of their beer. This is by far the nicest location. It's near the water. It feels open and comfortable. A nice seating area outside to enjoy our beautiful summer weather. You may need to battle the may flies, but when I visited yesterday they didn't seem to be an issue, but a couple blocks over they were everywhere. Everyone is experiencing staffing issues. But this location seemed to have the largest staff and seemed to be good. If you're local you've gotta get in and try some of their Apizza's. My favorite is the Bee's Knees. Perfect mix of spicy and sweet. Wife's favorite beer is the Juicy Asap IPA. I'm more of a hazy kind of guy. I'll alternate to whatever's new. Thirst Trap is my current go to until it's gone. They've also got wings, salad, sandwiches. But it's the Pizza you want to try here. You can also try stuff cheaper during happy hour or specials during the week. read more

Went if for a cup of coffee and when dealing with the first cashier they very polite and proper customer service. But when going to check out and deal with the second cashier they were not so polite and should not be in customer service. Coffee wasn't anything special and over priced. Better places to spend your money. read more

came here for dinner with my mom and niece, I had the Philly which was delicious and great sized portion, I took half home to eat later! drank a Luna dark lager which I also thoroughly enjoyed. also tried a slice of the bees knees pizza which is one of my new favorites. my niece ate Mac and cheese and fries and was so excited they had her favorite food in an elevated version--super cheesy and tasty (I tried a bite too) and she was excited about the crayons and coloring activities provided. we had great service and really enjoyed our time here! read more

First, I must say I am not criticizing the restaurant itself, We went there last summer and it was good and we had a GREAT waitress. But, a couple weeks ago, we went to the coffee shop, OMG, the person working behind the counter wrecked our day. My friend and I walk approx. 5 miles every Thursday together downtown by the water front, and we love it. We usually go to Mr. Smith's but due to a fire, we were not able to go there. First off, the person behind the counter was in the back and took forever to get out to wait on us. That really did not bother us. After we received our coffee and bagels, we went in the back to sit, there was one customer back there and the other TWO tables were used by employees. They have a ledge, somewhat like a bar with stools, but the ledge was full of silverware. So they have a seating area down the steps, and we went down there. As soon as we had our bagels unwrapped (which she never gave us a utensil such as a knife to spread our cream cheese), she came out there and said in a very loud voice we could not sit down there, and said we would have to get up and come back up!! Let me say that my friend and I have both worked in customer service jobs for a very lengthy time. She could have said we could have finished our coffee and bagels, but we could not sit down there in the future. (And believe me, we won't because we will not return). We are both 69-70 years old and felt like we were being scolded like school children. So we found a table by the door (which it was freezing there) so she could keep an eye on such heinous customers. It was so awkward, and I said to the employee that if she wanted to show good customer service, she could have allowed us to finish our breakfast and then asked us never to sit there again. And that would have been fine. And then she said there was alcohol down there and money????? I then asked if she thought we were going to steal their money and alcohol?? And she said "you never know"!!! Such disrespect !!! Please Mr. Smith's, "open soon "!!!!! read more
