    Chicken Tenders, Fries, Burger
    Reganne A.

    We came here on Saturday to watch the Michigan football game. It was at home in Ann Arbor but I was surprised by the lack of people here! I felt like I was the only one cheering because there very little people in the restaurant! But, we got two seats at the bar right away and our food came out within 10 minutes. If you're coming here for unique food, I would say this isn't the place. The menu is pretty classic bar food with your average bar taste and atmosphere. My party got chicken tenders and fries and a burger. Four stars because I thought the chicken tenders were no different than any frozen tenders I could buy at a store and make at home but not complaining because I didn't have to cook them! Overall, a good gameday experience besides the lack of fans there. The TVs were in a good position for any table to be able to see and the volume was good. Audio was even piped into the restroom speakers which was appreciated. Classic bar food, friendly staff, and clean space.

    We stumbled on this beautiful town with a great local pub. The staff is friendly and the food portions are perfect. I had the delicious French dip sandwich. If you're in the area, stop in Dexter and eat here.

    Sriracha Chicken Sandwich

    Can't fully comment on food today, Saturday October 19. I ordered the Sriracha Chicken sandwich. Suppose to have avocado, Cole slaw and jalapeño.... well, look at my pic and see it had none of the above. No napkins, no silverware, no water, the guy in the U of M shirt behind the bar yelling at staff.... Won't be back. Don't come if it's busy. Wait staff was excellent.

    Dreadnaught burger and if you're ever up this way you have got to try it. It was very very good.

    We stopped in during a Wednesday dinner rush - had to wait about a half hour for inside seating. Waiting by the front door seeing the staff carrying food out to the tables and then also bringing dishes in showed they were patient, hard-working folks. Our waitress was so pleasant and cordial as well, and our food didn't take as long to arrive as we had expected. We noted the many specials they had and will be back next Wednesday to try their Mexican fare. Thank you for a very pleasant evening.

    Cuban w/ fries

    Place was packed just after noon on a Tuesday. Got a bar seat and a few minutes passed before I got the server's attention, but once I did my beer and food arrived quickly. I'd ordered the house Cuban sandwich, one of the day's specials. Can't complain about the portion, but the pulled pork seemed overly smoky, I thought, and rather dry. A little more of the chipotle mayo might have been a good idea. Fries were crisp and tender. Overall atmosphere here is cozy and clean. Seems like a well kept and popular small town tavern.

    Seems the service issues were resolved today. Went for early Tuesday lunch. Plenty of staff, all working non-stop. Order from the Tuesday lunch specials menu: chicken tacos. What happened was expected: fried chicken cutlet in a soft flour tortilla. Rather good and definitely a tenth generation European Midwest immigrant interpretation of south of the border cuisine. Dexter had continued to develop its "cool town" feel. This is a standard place for adults wanting bar food plus some extras with seven large screens focused mostly on sports.

    Great to have the outdoor seating option. I understand that many places are experiencing shortages of food so I cannot really hold it against them that a few things we tried to order were out. Once we found something available on the menu and received it, the food was tasty. We will return. The fries were good and the tables and outdoor space were clean.

    First time coming here and was looking forward to their pizza! Arrived on a Saturday afternoon…read morearound 530 and they weren't too busy yet. Snagged a booth and my party placed their order quickly. It was a bit dark inside but the booth was comfortable. I loved the outdoor setup and want to come visit on a cooler day! Food arrived fast and we all enjoyed our orders. The kiddos loved their chicken tenders and fries - the RANCH! Yum! Their mixed spring salad was great and I really enjoyed my guanciale and fig pizza (a little too heavy on the fig jam though so I did remove a lot of it). The others in my party had a pepperoni pizza that was great as well. Absolutely best crust I've had on a pizza in awhile! Overall very good, just nothing spectacular so giving 3 stars.

    First time visiting Jolly Pumpkin and really enjoyed it. Wish the patio had been open…read more.but in due time. Inside has a fun vibe and I like that you order ag the counter vs waiting for service. That said we still had excellent service in that we were greeted at our table, welcomed in, and plates cleared. Was pleasantly surprised to see that they have a nice NA menu as most breweries do not. They were out of the one I wanted to try, so maybe next time. The burger was amazing. Like truly amazing. Fries were pretty good...overall I liked them but a bit salty even for me. Dipping sauce was fantastic! The pizza was good in that the crust was excellent. I'm not typically a fan of the pizza you get at bars....it's too crispy. This crust though OMG so good!! The flavor of the toppings, however, were lacking. The one we ordered was supposed to have pesto and hot honey on it. I tasted no pesto and barely any hot honey. What you could taste was just very sweet.
