Sangria
Tara S.

Came in for a drink and what a great selection! I had a sangria and it was delicious! Our server was great. I do wish it was more accessible however; steps into the restaurant can be challenging for some.

I believe I was overcharged for the greek gluten free pizza, and asked about it and was told I was charged correctly... $27 for a pizza? Looking at the menu I had assumed the Greek itself was $10, and the gluten free crust was + $2. But apparently I was wrong. It was very good food, but did not expect a $27 pizza, wouldn't have gotten it if i knew that was the case! $15 for a Detroit style pizza but having the gluten free version, it came out as flat (expected, I've been gluten free for quite some time and know all gfree pizzas are usually flat), so I wasn't sure about the $15 charge? In other words, Our waitress was very polite, the brick walls are gorgeous, and the drink options were awesome. They've got plenty of fall themed cocktails at the moment. The menu had enough of a variety to make you really consider what you wanted, it all sounded excellent. I'd go back in the future but won't be getting a pizza next time!!

First time here and I'm pleasantly surprised. Pizza was delicious. Thick, soft crust with a lot of cheese and plenty of toppings. I thought the gatherer pizza would be boring because it was vegetarian, but whatever was drizzled on top gave it a great pop of flavor! I had never had peppadew peppers before, so I did not realize how small they would be, but they were great for sharing. They are sweet with a little spice and also full of flavor. I didn't buy any drinks this time around so I will have to come back for that! Good service and atmosphere and there are 2 pinball machines.

Wild Side "Zachary."  American wild ale.

The first time I came in, I thought this place was just average...this time, I was pretty impressed. BEER: 6 out of 8 taps were brewed in-house, and the other two are from Ohio and Michigan (Bell's Two Hearted and Jackie O's wheat wine). Although they brew several styles, it seems as though Wild Side Brewing Company specialized in American Wild Ale. I'm pretty new to AWA (basically, it's our version of a lambic)...it's a little sour for my taste, but like IPA, it's one of those areas where exciting things are happening in the beer world. So I'm learning...quickly. Wild Side does some cool things. For example, they age some of their AWAs in liquor barrels...liquors such as Toledo Spirits's Orange Tiger, as well as tequila barrels, and wine barrels. Predictably, the products are unique and delicious. I also tried their IPA (mild, almost like a New England IPA). Also tried their blond ale (think 'very refreshing American lager'). The pizza is excellent (Detroit-ish style) and is reasonably priced. There are some other food offerings too, but the pizza was all I tried. Bourbon selection? Very nice. Wine selection? Dunno, but they have wine...and margaritas, too. Atmosphere? Outstanding. Great town, great taproom. Cool music and cool crowd. Interestingly, it was almost as if the music changed, gradually, to suit the taste of the crowd? Service? Equally Outstanding. Lindsey was an outstanding barkeeper...she knew beer, and she was ultra attentive and friendly. Beer....it's been part of the human experience for about 13,000 years...that's right...we were drinking beer while we were still hunting the Woolly Mammoth. Get in touch with your inner Cro magnon. Come out to Grand Rapids Ohio and drink some beer from Wild Side Brewing Company! Five stars!

I had a delicious sour pumpkin spice beer for $6 Definitely my taste, but not everyone's. Great price for sour beer. I bar atmosphere on one side & wood barrels on the other side with a few chess sets sprinkled about

Another good trip to Union Social. Roxy did a great job welcoming us and making us feel at home…read more Ayla worked hard to serve us well. She was very patient with members of the party that struggled with decision making. On this occasion we sat in the middle of the facility. This is the most open...and unfortunately the loudest area. It was so loud on this night that we struggled to have dinner conversation. The fry flight was fun for the party to sample. The tots were nice and crisp and meaty. The sweet potato fries had a bold sweet potato taste but were disappointingly limp - first time they have been this way. The flat fries were uniquely thin and crispy. The cheese sauce was a unique blend of different cheeses that didn't taste like cheese. More of a smooth, mild and somewhat plain sauce. The ketchup had a nice bold tomato taste. The ranch dip was fairly unique with very faint ranch and oil taste. My wife loved the Southwest bowl. Very fresh and with lots of healthy add ins. The marinaded chicken was very moist and seasoned nicely. The guacamole was very tasty. The short rib beef stroganoff had an outstanding beef taste. The meat was moist and tender - easily pulled apart. The sauce was very light so that it let the natural beef juices dominate the taste. No heavy sour creme taste here. The noodle were perfectly cooked to a firm consistency.

Front room was nice but we sat in the back room. Exposed wires in the south wall and a detached…read morebar indicated they weren't quite done with construction. Waitress was pleasant. Wife had steak and pasta and I had jambalaya. Hers was nice but mine tasted ok. Sausage ok but the sliced chicken which was strange. Like deli style. Appetizers were ricotta cheese and a steak egg roll. Both ok. Dessert was a toll house cookie topped with ice cream. Disappointed there. $120 for two was a bit much. Left $20 tip.
