    Breadventure large
    Keith F.

    This was our first time but certainly not our last. Wow was it a trip to flavor town! Each of our dishes tasted so amazing! We were walked to the encased patio which gave us views of the snow gently falling as we started our lunch. Pretty and fancy adjacent- like a nice place to dine without feeling stuffy or pretentious. Our server, Nathan was a class act. He was really helpful in explaining the menu while giving some much appreciated tips. He stayed on top of the meal service from start to finish. He was fantastic! The breadventure made us laugh in name, but is so worth exploring. We ordered the large one with several add on sides. The whipped goat cheese, local honey, and pimento cheese were all delicious! I should have asked where the honey came from because it was THAT GOOD! The fried pickles are so seasoned here. Get it with the ranch or the pepper ranch. Those dipping sauces were great too. I had the Pirogies. They were on the specials menu so they are not always available. Divine! The cabbage and onion bed they were sitting on was also quite good but a little salty. Everything was good to perfection. Honestly this was one of the best meals of the trip. Go here- ask for Nathan- get a breadventure and ride the wave of flavor from start to finish. Highly recommended.

    Great meal. The waiter was really knowledgeable, not just about the menu but the restaurant and town history. Everything we excellent. Was there for a birthday and they gave him a free dessert. Cozy booth and while busy it still felt like we weren't rushed.

    We saved the Zingerman Roadhouse for our last meal in Ann Arbor. It was a Monday evening so we got good seats on the covered patio right away. The staff was friendly and helpful and were able to serve the hungry 8 year old right away while the adults made a menu plan. There were so many choices and I wanted to taste a lot including dessert this time. I wanted to taste their Pulled pork sandwich and sides to compare with a favorite place at home in Boulder. But it had a huge order of fries with it and I really cannot have them. Another person in our group who is a regular there ordered a of grits instead of fries, so I did too. The warm mushroom and spinach salad sounded wonderful so we got the large version for the table. It was such a hit for me that I made note of all the ingredients and will attempt to recreate it at home tonight. For dessert, I had the classic cheesecake, a perfect rendition. Every thing I pressed was perfect though such a big meal I chose to eat the pulled pork with a fork in order to indulge in the salad, the grits and the cheesecake. Everyone , including the 8 year old neither fried chicken drumstick and sides an especially her brownie Sunday enjoyed the dinner.

    Did you know that Zingerman's roadhouse has happy hour? Oysters for $2 along with drink specials and small bites and for the full roadhouse, not just the bar. This is my second visit for happy hour. First was with someone and we sat in a booth. Service was meh but comfortable in the dining room. Today, at the bar, service is exceptional. The bartender is personable, attentive and polite. The dinner rush hasn't hit yet. It's Tuesday and I could eat here every night. The vibe is comfortable home cooking done well. The oysters were fresh. Chef's choice. I also had the chicken fried mushroom taco that comes in a I'm toasted flour tortilla with elote. To go, I had to order my Ig Vella Mac. Pit smoked chicken with green chiles, roasted corn and cilantro. Perfection!

    I've been here a few times and really enjoyed the breakfast food and especially the earl grey tea- it's extra delicious and feels special with the little tray with cream and honey. Breakfast was fresh and simple, pricey but good. I didn't like the seating with the heat lamps, some parts of my skin were too hot, but it was unique.

    It had been a long time since I had a visit to this location. I decided to choose this place as a meeting spot for brunch. I reserved a spot so I would not have to wait. The parking can be crowded but there are also spots in the back. I was quickly seated on entering. I did not realize they had a bar but good to know for the future. The host offered us drinks and explained the specials and the menu. She also offered recommendations. I decided on the French toast with sausage and sausage. I also got the latte with almond milk. The latte was great. Strong like I like it. The French toast came with 3 thick slices and had a great taste. Too much so I had to take it home. Te sausage patty was good and it had a little spice. It was explained to me that they were freshly made. I am glad I had a chance to check out this place. It is a Michigan staple and I will visit again in the future.

    Zingerman's was a feast for the senses as well as a dinner experience. What I mean by that is this place has a ton of charm and character. You can see it on the walls, you can see it in the service and kitchen staff. It was busy. People were moving. In the chaos it was a pleasant home style hearty meal that was a fun experience. I sat on the stools facing the kitchen. A very fun spot to sit at and watch the cooks go at it. I would guess they excel at Americana food, hearty bbq plates and southern type dishes. I ordered a bbq combo plate to try a variety. The meats were ok, but honestly I loved the greens the most. The menu is massive so makes it a bit challenging to make a decision. Service was fast and friendly. Dishes were a bit overpriced in my opinion, but a decent meal. Definitely a must visit for anyone in 2A.

    OK! After my third visit here, I've figured it out. Get the smoked meats!! Large menu with a variety of options, and have tried a few different things, but this time we focused on the smoker/BBQ items and they were SO good. That's going to be my go to moving forward for the Roadhouse. The Roadhouse BBQ plate was a great sampler, with pit-smoked pork ribs, BBQ pulled beef, and smoked pulled pork. Came with bacon-braised collard greens and mashed potatoes, though you can swap for any of the sides. We also tried one of the menu specials, which was a Smoked Sirloin. Wow this was stunning. I've never heard of or thought to smoke steak before, but this was incredible. Pretty expensive spot, so don't think we'll put it in the regular rotation, but a great option for when we're feeling like something extra fun! There's a happy hour as well, with discounts on some drinks and food/snacks!

    The service was good. A busy restaurant at lunch with options for most pallets. My coworkers had burgers...the one that had the added bacon said that bacon was very flavorful, definitely add!! Another coworker got the kale salad but said it was OK (it's a salad, hard to put a salad over the top)...and I had the Montreal Reuben with sweet potato fries. Good sandwich without the 1000 island dressing...unique. The sweet potato fries were thick like steak fries and ok...not bad but if they were thinner I'd probably have preferred that. No complaints, but considering how many people told us we had to go, I was building the place up in my head before we got there...but still a good place to eat lunch.

    THEE place to get beef for dinner/lunch, or anything else…read more A Scratch kitchen, they are family owned, and quality is always perfect. Had their French Dip Au Jus, medium (you get to choose). The beef was like butter, so very tender and sweet, the au jus was rich, deeply rich and JUST right. The bread served is home-made, too. Service is always stellar. The rest of the menu is just as good.

    MY RATING SYSTEM 5/4 = Exceeds expectations = 4 (3 @ 4. 1 @…read more5. 3 = Meets expectations = 1 2/1 = Does not meet expectations = 0 OVERALL POINTS RATING (0 - 5) 1. AMBIANCE = 4 I have read reviews that inside is dated. I am ok with it. The changes going on in Ann Arbor. It is nice to see stability. Be thankful a place weathering city transformation and not closing thier doors. If things get renovated so do the prices. With the price of food... 2. FOOD/DRIINKS = 4 I had Salomon. Other two had White Fish. London Broil. No one had any complaints. Food was well flavored and enjoyed the meal. Beer was Two Hearted on tap. Good. Red wine was house and had robust flavor. 3. SERVICE = 5 Our server was on top of everything. Friendly. Not overbearing. Drinks came in good order as well as food. 4. BATHROOM = 4 Clean and maintained. 5. PRICING = 3 On part for the times we live in. Inflation of the last 4 years created new norms. One area that tends to change is tipping. With wages for michigan getting to $15.00 all that has to play into pricing. So I give cash tips. The whole thing of putting tip pricing on the bill. I think many see it. 1. Brussel sprout appt. $15.00. 2. Meals were $27.00. If you went with steaks things get pricey. But if one follows news the beef herds are being reduced. So days of low cost beef meals are in the past. We just do not eat out as much so when we do it is a treat. 6. OBSERVATION The bar area was full. What I liked for a Thursday night is number of trades people at the bar. Parking is adequate. Not sure what a Friday or Saturday would look like... We were seated at table near bar area. One comment was we would have choose a booth the next time. Noise level in our area was loud. 7. POINTS 20 out of 25 points out. 20 to 25 = Exceeds expectations. 10 to 19 = Meets expectations. 0 to 9 = Does not meet expections

    Ok, so I was so pleasantly surprised by this place! I can't believe I had never been here before!…read more We made a reservation for 4 and were seated right away at a cute table with booths that were tall so it felt a little bit more private. The wait staff were super friendly. The drinks were also really good, and the spicy margarita may honestly be my favorite one in Ann Arbor! The appetizers and entree (we got the duck) were also tasty, but portions were on the smaller side. Timing of the meal was perfect, and I would definitely come back!

Their ambiance is really nice with saxophone music playing, unique wall paper, and pretty lights. Our server was really friendly and helpful. I will say, my plate had a stain on it when I first sat down so I asked for a fresh one. The waitress let us know that typically dinner takes a whole of 1.5 hours. She said she times it based off of how we eat. For example, she brings the drinks and appetizers out first and then once we finish that, she brings the salad or soup. And then from there, she brings the entree's. Their beignet bread was delicious with the garlic butter (I even asked for seconds later on)!! Their salad was also really tasty (I got the lemon dressing one) and it comes with croutons that are just like the beignet bread but made in smaller sizes and slightly crispier. We enjoyed calamari and fig with bacon appetizers. Everything was very tasty! We will definitely return! Bathroom was clean but the seat was just super low (like for a child). We parked at the nearby lot and it cost $9 for about 2 hours.

    Stopped by with friends who haven't been here before... we can on a Monday and thank goodness it…read morewas slow. Seating was simple and quick... they do check your ID at the door before you get seated. Interior hasn't changed and I don't expect it to change. I appreciate the old vibe that place gives. For meal, we ordered: - few onions rings - Fried Artichoke Hearts - 2 regular burgers and 1 order "over the top" - few beers The service is hit or miss, depends on how busy the place gets... our waitress was working six tables by herself, but she did all she could to help. The onion rings were awesome, fried artichoke hearts, you can skip... for the burgers, I would recommend you stick to classic - meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato and onions. We all got it med, the meat was juicy as usual and we all enjoyed it. The draft beer that I ordered was flat unfortunately. When we got our check I noticed that there was a "convenience fee 3%", which is applied to your meal prices only. I'm not a fan of convenience fee, if they are trying to offset the credit card charges or adjust their prices due to the inflation or higher material costs, they should just raise their prices to offset those. I also didn't see anything about convenience fee being added, granted if it was in a smaller print so I could have missed it. It seems everyone is adding on convenience fee to everything.

We were pleased there was live piano music in the beautiful wood ceilinged dining room. Our server gave us a brief history of the Weber's restaurant and gave us time to produce the menu after delivering our drinks. We couldn't agree on any appetizers so we stuck with just the bread plate. There was a lovely salmon spread, and butter. Some of the bread was toasted with garlic butter and some was soft. I can't say the bread was the best part of the meal, my preference is for a crusty artisan loaf. Salads came with each of the entrees, although son doesn't eat salad he didn't order soup either. My husband and I ate all three salads. He ordered the Cobb, I had kale and the third was the house salad which was very pleasant with dried cranberries and raspberry vinaigrette. Both men ordered the 8 ounce filet mignon, medium rare, which came with carrots and mashed potatoes. The steaks were perfectly prepared. They let me taste a sliver and it was very tender! The carrots however were not very tender, and could have used a little more time on the heat. Son also ordered a side of roasted asparagus, it was perfect crisp tender and they left the bread crumbs in a dish on the side without even me asking. We didn't eat any of them! I ordered the miso sea bass, which had the same carrots but a side of butter soy sushi rice. I loved the sear on the fish, it was a very simple preparation that let the quality meat show through. The rice was delicious and I ate most my carrots. After slowly sipping my delicious large $20 Meiomi Pinot Noir through dinner, I developed a sweet tooth and attempted to order a creme brulee for dessert. The men were too full of bread, steak and multiple salads to have dessert. Our server warned us that there was only one creme brulee left earlier that evening, and they were likely out. Indeed, as requested she promptly brought the check without dessert. A chocolate pudding at home for me, oh well....we were all stuffed anyway! The quality of food is excellent at Weber's, and the service was on point. We did not feel rushed but because we didn't order multiple courses we were in and out pretty quickly. I think I would like savor the time better with a leisurely happy hour in the bar on a weekday next time.
