    Patio
    Kat C.

    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

    Veggie Burger with Dirty Fries
    Michael D.

    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!

    The Entrance, the last place you will encounter any staff

    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

    Beer and Tacos- Delicious!!!
    Rick M.

    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!

    Empty tables and we still don't have our food.

I said I can't drink it and opted for a margarita. Have no idea how u can screw up a margarita but it was not drinkable either. No sweetness. Just unlike any other I've ever had. Left that full as well. The charcuterie board app was great. But expensive. The other food was super mediocre. Just felt like it was middle of the line out of the freezer. Cute presentation. Very underwhelming. I can honestly say they're the most unenjoyable cocktails I've ever had. Our server acted like she couldn't care less if we were happy, or satisfied. She knew I sent the first drink back, saw the 2nd left full and didn't ask a single ? The whole experience was very lacking. Skip this place.

If you are anywhere near La Grande Oregon, you must stop there for dinner.

Very few and far between are the dedicated to simply making pizza joints. You just don't see those tucked away somehow dimly lite yet sparkling with allure of an old pinball machine hungry for its next quarter. As a kid I remember spending precious time in such places.Wasting mom and dads spare change in that secluded but fantastical arcade section. And when that hot pie hit the table you somehow sensed it was time to feast. Final Cut pizza gives me that feeling again. Not only do you get lost in the constantly changing movie poster boards but the lighting is perfect. Clean and crisp little arcade section that calls to that inner child and pies that absolutely melt in your mouth. I'm taking in upon myself to call this the best pizza joint in eastern Oregon and don't bother arguing until you've been there. Beers on tap awesome people and THE CRUST! Don't you dare throw that crust away it would be a sin. To top this review off I'd like to say I've never been there and not experienced an amazing staff who deliver with great attitude. Please don't change what you're doing Final Cut you are probably the last great pizza joint in this part of the state.
