Titan Hollow — Restaurant in Spring Township

Been wanting to check this former factory turned gastropub out for awhile and finally did last night. Used the online reservation system which worked flawlessly and I wish more eateries would adapt it.

The place is very interesting. Gives off a cool dark Goth vibe. We were greeted warmly and led to our table in what I believe they call 'the library'. A nice corner table for two near an electric fireplace. The chairs were amazingly comfortable: soft cushy highbacks. I could have sat there all night.

Our server gave us menus and took our drink orders. We opted for the flight of four ciders of our choosing. Hubby, who's no longer much of a drinker, chose ciders on the sweeter side. I like adventure and picked out two of the spicier ones, although one was one I had previously had at another pub and knew I'd be wanting to have it again (Ginger Geri - sooo good! Love that burn!).

Our flight arrived and we put in an appetizer order as well as our mains. Our app was one I'd heard about from a local foodie group I belong in and just had to see what it was all about: the deviled eggs topped with a chili crisp. My foodie group was correct - these eggs were delicious! Great combination of flavor and the chili crisp gave it a nice finish.

Mains consisted of the schnitzel with spatzle and red cabbage; and a humongous piece of breaded/fried fish and french fries.

I tasted hubby's spatzle after he noted it was a bit bland (but isn't spatzle always bland?) and also the mushroom gravy on his schnitzel. My only remark was how salty the gravy tasted and commented that I was glad I ordered the fish.

My piece of fish, on the other hand, was quite good. As were the seasoned fries heaped on my metal tray (food is served on metal trays, not plates). I absolutely loved the malt vinegar infused mayo for the fish and even my fries were dunked into that goodness. I shared my meal with my spouse and he thought it was extremely tasty as well.

No dessert for us since neither of the two cake options sounded appealing. Plus we were both stuffed because the food we ordered was plentiful. I did order a house cocktail, a 'Mad Cosmo' that was part of their martini line. I wish I could say what all was in it but unfortunately I can't. Let's just say it was delicious.

Our server was very attentive and friendly. Even gave us a quick tour of the place after we finished up. The 'enchanted garden' looked like a great area to hang out with friends over a cocktail. And there were so many cool things to look at. All in all it was a very unique and fun dining experience and I highly...

I really wanted to like this place and maybe had too high of expectations based on what I had seen online and social media. We arrived a little after 6:30p in a Friday evening in September. We were greeted by a hostess and seated immediately in the bar area. We didn’t see a server for about 10 or more minutes although the handful of tables around us were being taken care of by serving staff. We grabbed a drink me from the bar and considered moving over there but there weren’t two seats together. When the server came over, she was very apologetic and I got the impression that we weren’t even in her section but she saw us waiting and decided to assist. God love her for that. We ordered drinks. They took a little longer than expected based on our view of the bar staff.

We ordered shrimp tacos, brussel sprouts and a pepperoni pinza. It was 7:46p when our food was delivered. I would say the food was average.

Our server was friendly,Ike I said, I don’t think we were actually in her section, and she was apologetic. She was hustling for sure.

I think it would have been helpful if the hostess would have set the expectation for us when we were seated that the service would be slow. I am not sure if they were short staffed or just really busy or both.

Parking was easy. It was a big lot next to the entrance and there were plenty of spaces. Prices were comparable to other places we have been. The atmosphere was cool - a little spooky fun vibe too it. It might be a nice place to go just for drinks but I likely will not come here...

I had high expectations for Alloy Kitchen, they were NOT met. So I ordered a cider cocktail, it was delicious. I ordered a chicken sandwich that comes with a side of chips for my meal. The sandwich was about 16 dollars and I got 10 chips. I asked my server and they said that they could add another side of chips on for an additional fee because that was the standard amount. While not good restaurant practice, that’s not unheard of in 2022. I also ordered poutine, one of their specials. It was simultaneously the most expensive and worst poutine (well it was more of a soup) I have EVER had. It was easy to tell they watered down the already mass produced quality gravy and there were maybe 4 or five little cheese curds. I didn’t see any of the other promised toppings. The entire thing was served in a giant soup bowl that was way too big for the size of portion they give. The fries were swimming in water that vaguely tasted like gravy being made in the next room. Within a minute everything was a gelatinous blob. Whoever made it has never seen nor tasted poutine, or else they wouldn’t have served it. The only redeeming quality was the cider cocktails. Go around the building to the food truck at their competitors Axemann Brewing, you’ll get better food, bigger portions, and all at a lower price point. I definitely will not be ordering food here again.

The TLDR: high prices, poor quality, and...
