Sidecar Slider Bar Plymouth — Restaurant in Plymouth

Visited here on 9/8/23. A Friday evening, to our surprise it wasn't full. We got the first booth in direct sight of the bar and the rest of the staff. I've waited awhile for waters before, no big deal. Wait staff can be busy or taking care of other tables or running food for a party. We weren't greeted for about 8-10 minutes, but when we were we got waters luckily. We knew what we wanted and ordered our drinks right away. A draft beer, Manhattan, and a cocktail off the menu. I decided to drink some water, and i'm not exaggerating when I say this, the water glasses had a sharp edge. To the point were I stopped drinking out of it because i was afraid I would cut myself. After we put in our order, we patiently waited, it was going on about 20 minutes now. I noticed the bar rail wasn't even full of people. The bartenders should have no problem knocking out three drinks. I did noticed one of the bar staff eating fries off of some ladies plate. Maybe his girlfriend or wife? Anyway probably not a good idea on a busy Friday night, he was spending more time down at one end of the bar while his partners was making the drinks and pulling the beers at the other end. We waited about 30 minutes before we made the call, 3 people shouldn't have to wait 30 minutes for drinks on a Friday night when it isn't even full. It's not like we were at a table in the back either. We were in the literal first booth, in direct sight of the bar. We didn't get told by our server those drinks will be just a couple minutes. We decided to just walk out, the bar tender had other important things to do, like eat off his girlfriends plate instead of make drink orders.

Also, what is Sidecar Slider Bar....seriously, the place has more TVs per square inch than Buffalo Wild Wings....the atmosphere is like half speak easy in a basement and half sports bar. We went to Hermanns instead which was packed full to the brim and still got greeted within 30 seconds and had our drinks in...

I got it delivered so I can’t really comment on the service and definitely not the atmosphere. The food though? Amazing! Ordered the Southwest egg rolls which are a meal in itself but they are not at all what I expected. They definitely have a little kick to them but I couldn’t stop taking more bites. Also got a small French fry which I would not normally comment on something you can get anywhere but these were different. Not different that they didn’t taste like fries but you know when you get that perfect French fry at McDonald’s (it’s the only thing I have eaten from there in over a decade so don’t judge)? Well all of them were perfect and crisp but not cutting the roof of your mouth crisp. So good. Then the portobello slider! I cannot tell you how good this was. Such simple and obvious ingredients and then they throw the fried goat cheese on it and it made it far and beyond the best thing I have had in a good minute that was also new and different. And lastly I ordered the pierogis but, and I’m so upset about it, I had ate (eaten?) far too much at that point that I couldn’t even try one. I got mine without bacon as to not disguise the actual flavor of the pierogis like bacon sometimes does on all types of food. And from the fact that they are gone means they must have been pretty good. I will definitely be getting food from there again to try different dishes but I’m not sure I can go there and not order the same things I already know are fabulous. Breakdown from 1 being the best out of 3 and 3 still being fantastic but the least out of the three. #1 PORTOBELLO Slider #2 French fries and coming in strong still #3 Southwest egg rolls. Go there or order from there. It was so fun finally trying new and different food that I haven’t had a billion times,...

Ok, so the food was alright. Y'all definitely could do better. The couple of times I've been there, the food was mediocre, the servers were basically children. I was trying to push for another place, but I had guest from out of town this past Tuesday and they wanted to try it out. So I gave it one more shot. The food didn't seem much better. If not worse. I have been in the hospitality business now for 25 years and it's clear that the kitchen is not very experienced. However, for the first time in any of my visits to this location did I have the best service I think I've ever had at any restaurant I've ever been to, including my own. This girl, or should I say woman, because she is not like the girls that they normally have there. She is definitely a star I gave her my card if she ever decides she's not being valued, she absolutely can come work for me. I've never done that before. But I watched her very closely, along with other staff. She's friendly, she's approachable, she doesn't have an entitled attitude. She never stopped moving. Some of the other servers seemed overwhelmed. She seemed to have it together. She was attentive, funny, fast, approachable. She turned down my offer. My restaurant is in Lansing. However, I would be happy to help figure it out. I just can't get over the level of service we were given. And I've left feeling that way before, just the complete opposite. We are used to being overlooked, ignored and dismissed. Thank you Holly. Keep my card if you ever need a change. My wife and I would be happy to...
