Side A Brewing - Dirty Chicken Salad no peppers - Breweries Near Me - La Grande, Oregon

Really nice brew pub with good selection of beer on tap. Very convivial place for a meet up, good indoor and outdoor seating, service excellent. We are traveling from Portland and viewed the online menu which included a 100% grass fed burger sourced Locally from 6Ranch, Corriente beef, Enterprise, OR. Corriente beed is flavorful, lean, and nutritious. However, the current pub menu changed to grain finished beef lower in omega-3's. After a hard and fun day mountain biking we really wanted the grass fed burger. Instead, we had a veggie burger and a salad with no vinegar and oil option. The dressing provided (we asked for it on the side) was a little sweet. We did not use it to avoid a glucose spike. good times with good friends at lunch. read more

Nice Oregon Fog - Hazy IPA paired well with the corn chowder. Delicious food warmed my soul on a cold rainy day. The service is spectacular and super fast with no wait. The ambiance is a must see with it being an old fire station complete with an attached museum. Must stop in La Grande, Oregon. read more

The atmosphere is awesome! We are from California, and there is nothing like Side A here. I had the BBQ pork belly sandwich and also the Korean tacos! Everything was was great! Our daughter lives there so I'm sure we will be eating there again. Thank you, and don't change the menu. lol read more

The food is fantastic. Beer is so so in my opinion. Overall experience after many years is 9 out of 10!

Shelly was our server and she was fantastic! We had a burger and the dirty fries were the bomb. The location was an old firehouse, it was fun to see the firepole in the back room. read more

Great experience. Nubian Lager was very good. Bailey was very personable and treated us well!!! read more

Day, one of 2 Day road trip with dogs We decided to stop for some lunch but it had to be dog friendly. We read about Side A brewing and it seems to fit the bill. I was a little confused when I first walked up to the front door because I didn't see a patio.. The patio is around the back. The patio has all these little planters around, which really make it not seem like an alley. It's pretty and very relaxing Our waitress came by, so we had dogs to get the water. She took her order and asked if she could also bring the dogs a little treat The dogs were thrilled and so was I. We didn't want to order a big meal because we still had many hours left in our drive We ordered the truffle fries and Korean pork tacos. They were so good. I would absolutely order these again. Flavorful, satisfying without making it feel stuffed There are other items on the menu that looked equally tasty. Try them- you'll like them read more

Stopped here on our first night of vacation and were blown away by how amazing the drinks, service, and food were! I had the Experience IPA and Hubby got the Side Road Cider. The IPA was the perfect west coast style - it was piney, hoppy, crisp, and light. The cider was off-dry to semi-sweet and delicious with good depth of flavor and didn't taste just like fermented apple juice. We both got the Veggie Burger for dinner. He got the dirty fries and I got the truffle fries. The veggie burger is fantastic! You can taste all the different veggies coming together and giving such a layered tasting experience from the corn to the peppers to the black beans to the chickpeas (I'm guessing). The aioli and toppings were top notch. We loved this place so much we specifically routed our drive back home to stop by again. Our waitresses both times were super attentive and friendly. The way they honor the old firehouse building and history and build on that aesthetic is really cool. The second time around, I had the kale Caesar which was even so, so good! Wish we lived closer, because we'd be regulars for sure! read more

Decided it was time to try some new foods and places in La Grande. Side A was one I had not been to for a while. My husband is now a full fledged Side A with the salads and burger. I'm stuck on the Chicken and fries but, must say the burgers that are made with Wagyu are very delicious and are great for people that have a hard time with hamburger, as Wagyu is easier to digest. Great atmosphere, waiter and waitresses are great and ready to serve you. read more

So amazing the house burger with salad couldn't take a picture of it but the flight stout was on point too read more

Great food,, great service, friendly and accommodating servers! We had our 18 month old grandson with us, and he loved it too!

Great dirty fries & breaded cauliflower to go with beers! We were there right when they opened and it filled up quick!

Excellent food, drinks and service! Plus a fun fire station vibe. We thoroughly enjoyed the soup of the day (spicy beef & mushroom), the pulled pork tacos and the house burger and chips. We also took home their huckleberry cheesecake and some cans of their beers. They were patient with our questions and service was relatively quick. Leaving very full and happy. read more

After being seated the waitress took our order and then disappeared for over an hour. We never saw our food or waitress again so after an hour of no contact we just left. If you're going to refuse service do the courtesy of telling your customers you've decided not to serve them. I've never had to walk out of a restaurant because of complete neglect before. The ambiance of the place was alright, clearly locals like the place and perhaps that's why we were refused service, they didn't know us. We drove out of our way to go here based on the reviews, don't make the same mistake read more

Side A Brewing - The Entrance, the last place you will encounter any staff - Breweries Near Me - La Grande, Oregon

+Beers were tasty. +Has hop water which is nice and refreshing +Ingredients were fresh tasting. +Fire house museum is pretty cool. -Waiter didn't write down our orders, and served up wrong salad to my party. When the salad was returned, they charged us for two salads which added an extra $9 to our bill. -Wait for food was over an hour. -No water was offered. read more

My husband and I popped in on our way back from Boise, Idaho. Spur of the moment success-- the food was absolutely delicious, and our server was so kind. Nice cozy spot for lunch. We both ordered the house, burger, and dirty fries. I highly recommend upgrading to the dirty fries. They did not disappoint. I was pleasantly surprised the fries didn't get soggy--They were crispy all the way until the last bite, which is impressively hard to do! The burger was bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked to medium rare. This will most definitely be our go-to lunch stop when we are back in the area. read more

Found this gem while driving through La Grande. So glad I stopped. The service was very friendly and fast. Beer was delicious, I had the Stock Show IPA and The Fifth Horsemann Black Lager. The Korean Pork Tacos are killer. Well worth the drive off the interstate! Cheers Side A! read more

Great food. Great service. Chill atmosphere. And good brews. If you find yourself here, definitely spend time for a meal.

We waited 45+ minutes to get seated... Arrived at 6:20ish... once we were seated our drink orders were taken and then food order was taken. It is now 8:09 pm and no one has come to give us an update on our food or refills... review to continue ... I read more

Side A Brewing - Empty tables and we still don't have our food. - Breweries Near Me - La Grande, Oregon

The food was great! We orders a few beers, the Mac and cheese, and the pork belly sandwich. The food was so delicious but the beers were a tad bit over priced to me. My sandwich was $19 but my beer was $16 not sure how that makes sense. But other than that we had a great time. read more

We stopped here after a grueling 13 mile hike out of Elkhorn Ridge a bit east of there. My buddy had a great looking burger on a brioche bun, the a side of kale Caesar salad that I was very envious of. I had to try the Korean tacos and was Not disappointed. I might have to get these every time. Even tho they are on the small plates section of the menu, they totally satisfied my post-backpacking hunger. We each had a really good beer - he went with hazy ipa and I had the other, West Coast style - both were on point, as was the service. Oh yea, after seeing many others getting the huckleberry cheesecake, we had to try it. Delicious. The lemon drizzle absolutely took it to another level, but the core cheesecake and graham crust were perfect already. Tall la granders are lucky to have this place in town! See you again when we're travelling thru. read more

Fantastic food and great atmosphere. On occasion, some really fun music. Love the dirty Fries.

We had a great experience here. Do not let the front door chase you off. We thought it was going to be dark inside. However there was lots of light and a great atmosphere. We ordered 1/2 a kale ceasar salad (VERY generous portion) and shared the chicken strips and fries. read more

Tried this restaurant for the first time when dropping our son off at E Oregon University and was pleasantly surprised! They had a good crowd but the hostess was very cordial and honestly tried to get us and everyone else on the waitlist seated as soon as possible The food was Awesome and worth the wait. The Kale Ceasar salad was so good that we ordered a second one for "dessert". All 3 of our entrees were fabulous - Korean Tacos, Pork belly sandwich and Shrimp pasta. The cook added a bit of spice to each and it blended in very well with each dish. The BEST restaurant in La Grande!! read more

Great vibe with friendly staff, good food, and good beer on tap. Very reasonably priced too! We were passing through town headed east, and this was a great oasis. read more

This was actually our second visit to Side A, having previously stopped in last July on our way home from Idaho. Our first visit for lunch was good enough that the only option for dinner while staying the night in Lagrande was to hit up Side A again. We did the Dirty Chicken Salad, Ahi Tuna Sandwich, and my daughter went with the grilled cheese and shoestring fries. For drinks we went with Hop Water. While everything was delicious, the Dirty Chicken Salad and the Hop Water stole the show for me. I wish they canned their Hop Water as it's better than most of the other options on the market. I'd leave with a four pack or two every visit. We actually got the same servers we had last summer and the hostess/greeter was also the same which is always a great sign to indicate a well run business. Everyone was friendly and prompt even later on a Sunday evening. The place itself is also super cool! They've set up shop in an old firehouse and best of all, the event space adjacent to the taproom has the vintage fire engines parked right there inside! Add a great little patio area for the warmer months and you have got yourself a really neat spot right in the middle of downtown Lagrande. It's only a few minutes off of I84 so even if you're not lucky enough to be local it's a convenient spot to stop in whether heading to points east or west. read more

Was in the area for work, almost missed his place because it's on a side street entrance. I accidentally bumped into it and since it was lunchtime, I decided to have lunch here. I am so glad that I stopped by! Burger was top-notch, I chose tomato bisque instead of fries and the bisque was OK (I'm a big fan of tomato bisque I have had better) but the burger spot on. read more

This is a MUST stop if you're traveling past. The food is absolutely delicious. We had the peanut butter bacon burger & pork belly sandwich with dirty fries. My son had the Mac & cheese. Clean plates all around. The dirty fries were a bonus- have to try. After the long drive this literally satisfies your soul. read more

I've been wanting to try this La Grande brewery for a little while. I am so very glad that the opportunity arose to try one of their beers! I had The Brut, a Irish Red Ale that I really enjoyed. It had a wonderful spicy and malty flavor that I really got into. Red Ales aren't often something I run immediately for but this Red Ale was very formidable. I really was in bliss with the malt on this one which was unexpected for me. Very good Red Ale! read more

So on a short road trip to Boise and found this restaurant traveling through La Grande. It had a great atmosphere. The food and service was good. They do offer some gluten free options. My only comment is my order waited awhile before being served. The fries were luke warm and the bun was cold. But I would go back. read more
