No servers. Terrible service. They don't even have waiter staff take your order. Even for dine in you order on an app! I waited 45 for my food and then left. Epic fail.

We rolled into Saucy before the Piston's game. The location was perfect for pregaming just two short blocks from Little Caesar's. The space is nice and casual. The prices weren't shocking. I'm not a critical person but I'd say unless you like beer I would recommend not wasting your hard earned money here. The pizza was comparable to cardboard. Despite being famished we didn't finish the pie. It wasn't worth the calories. In addition you order on the app. The app isn't user friendly. It was more work then I care to do. Just hire servers or let people order at the counter. Our whole group had issues with it.

Food is decent! Had the wings, breadsticks, and margherite pizza and it was pretty good! It's a weird like college-y hang out place in a neighborhood and it's pretty quiet; not sure it will make it in terms of longevity but here's to hoping. Like I said, upon first inspection of beer list, it was heavy on coffee infused beers and high ABV. Just wanted some middle of the road beers and found one or two out of the 13 or something on tap. Took a few samples of some others but they would have ruined the food choices I made. Since it's a coffee house too, the coffee heavy menu makes sense. Bartenders were helpful if not very attentive. They spent most of their time sitting together at the end of the bar on their phones, eating or drinking. Had to flag them down a few times but it was kind of slow and it was a Tuesday night when visiting. They also have community tables but we sat at the bar. They also have pinball and some other games in the bar if you're bored. I dunno, it seems more like it's a cafeteria that serves beer than a bar/ grill/ restaurant. Hope the local population can support them as there are condos and townhouses right outside its location. It is placed out of the way, about 2-3 blocks from Woodward down a side street, closer to LCA. Give if a try but maybe stick to what you know as not to ruin the experience.

Definitely has a chain feel to it here and the service was lacking. I had the pulled pork sandwich and I only scarfed it down because I hadn't eaten all day. The beer was just okay as well. I did feel I spent too much for what I received. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back but it was fine

Not enough waitstaff. Please hire more. Especially for game nights. They're slammed.The caprice sandwiches are made with iceberg lettuce, not spinach.

NZ IPA passed the hop test, Kaitlyn bar tender was excellent- fast, knowledgeable about brews & menu - chx n waffle pizza flavor was DELICIOUS but we prefer a thicker, chewier crust. Would definitely go back. Merch = high quality material in hoodies

Excellent service and beer! I got a flight and highly recommend the Love You, Bye and the Juicy ASAP. They have rotating taps and this time they had a peanut butter brownie stout my fiancé got and he LOVED it! Not too heavy but very flavorful

Completed the Saucy mission of visiting all the locations. I love how unique each and every one of the spots are. It's nice to go somewhere else and enjoy the beer you've come to love to drink. While also enjoying the food. This spot was great due to location if in area to downtown and getting around to events etc. They even had a Detroit Saucy shirt. Should get stickers etc for those of us who like visiting the different spots.

Our first visit didn't go as one might expect.The beer was decent and the bartender offered some nice recommendations.Service was a little disappointing. The bartender was distracted, and we inquired about our appetizer after some time...which was in the window with our dinner and all of it was cold. It wasn't that busy, so no excuse.Will we be back? Too many other places to try. we decided to leave and went on to Brew Detroit afterwards to find better service.

They take reservations but don't honor them...... like Seinfeld and rental cars. The excuse was people called off, short staffed, blah-blah... stuff that has nothing to do with keeping our reservation.

Pizza was ok. Toppings were good on the phat ranch and chicken and waffle pizzas but the crust tastes like nothing. The beer is really terrible. None of us liked ours so we went to Founders afterwards. Annoying to have to order through the app and have to go to the bar with questions.

Service at the bar was pretty slow with a handful of bartenders and very small crowd.

Foxbia, get it. It's incredibly smooth and hits all of the notes promised in the description.

Wings were pretty good. We ordered on line and didn't get our drinks until we went up to the bar an finally got someone to help us. Vegan pizza came out wrong but one of the cooks made it right by us. The whole experience would have been better if we didn't have to order on line or at the bar. Nothing here will bring us back.

Super cool bartenders offering suggestions and samples with zero guilt. Kitchen working hard. Unique pizzas. Good beer selection!Only bummer is that Happy Hour is 3:30-5:30, but they didn't tell us that when we ordered our first drink/snack before 5:30.... Found out when we went on our phone to order more drinks/snacks after 5:30...
