Beer still good but the food offering continues to disappoint. Lackluster gluten free options. Menu is stale. Online menu is 4 years old. Could be much betterVegetarian options: LimitedDietary restrictions: Obviously not a priority.

A surprisingly good space for pizza, beers, and community. If you're near here, go. A range of quality beers, many sours, and some of the best pizza in the area. Fun outdoor space and nice interior. Good for groups and work parties.

The beers are very good but expensive ($7.00). The service is friendly, though I prefer not to have to order at the bar. The menu is very limited (make sure you see things you like before you go.) The pizza was good but didn't live up to the "Best Pizza awards" claimed by the venue.

This place is not for me.I met some friends here after work. I was a little late and pretty hungry when I arrived. They were sitting outside, and had already ordered. We sat for a while and talked. When the (not) server brought their food out, she started to walk away without acknowledging me. I called after her and asked if I could order, and she said I could order off the QR code on the table or go inside and order at the bar. Oh, it's *that* kind of place. Okay, fine. When I asked her for something to drink she said she "[wasn't] a server; [she] just brings out the food."I had some questions about the menu, so I went inside to order. I was hungry when I walked in, so I admit, not getting any service, or even a drink offered, set me off a bit. The menu didn't much appeal, but that's on me. I didn't feel like pistachios on my pizza or radish on my chicken, I just wanted something simple and filling, and I wanted it soon, and I was thirsty and didn't want to wait any longer than I already had. So I asked the woman at the bar if I could have the burger, skip the pimento cheese, which I don't like, and just some regular cheddar or American, whatever? Sure, they had cheddar. I asked if I could get tomato on the burger - nope, no tomatoes in the kitchen (!) Pickles? Nope, no pickles. Okay, the menu is the menu, they can do cheddar, and I'm hungry, so let's go with that, thanks.At this point, I was suspicious, since everything seemed to be done... differently, so I asked if I could just get some water with my meal, and she said sure, and I asked if ketchup came with the fries, and she said yup, so I assumed that water and ketchup would arrive with the meal.When the burger came, there was no water, and no ketchup. I asked this second food delivery person if I could have water and ketchup, and she *also* told me that she is not a server, she just delivers the food. I'd have to go back into the restaurant and get the water and the ketchup myself. I guess I was supposed to let my food sit there and cool while I trekked off for my condiments and drink, since there wasn't even a waitress station nearby with water, napkins etc., as far as I could see.At this point, I was really, really annoyed. I just wanted some simple food and something to drink after a long day, not a bunch of togaroshi aioli on my burger and furikake on my fries (I don't know what that is, I don't care at this point, and there was no one around to ask, anyway. And whatever furikake is, the fries just tasted like fries. Without ketchup.)So I ate my lukewarm burger without anything to drink, because I damn sure wasn't going to bother the not-servers anymore. At one point my friend went in to use the bathroom and came back with waters for all of us from the bar. The water came in these disposable little half-cups with lids, and she carried them out stacked on top of each other, because there were no trays. If you're going to serve your beer and cocktails in actual glasses, why stint on the water? And I say, hey -- if you're going to make your customers trek across the patio and inside to get their own water and condiments, don't pretend -- just give the customers their own trays, like they do at McDonald's.Perhaps, on another day, I might have found the self-service aspect awkwardly charming. I might have found the menu more appealing and the absence of actual waitstaff tolerable. Then, again, maybe not. I had cashed out at the bar when I made my order, because it seemed easier to avoid whatever other weirdness might be going on with the check. At that point I was still expecting to tip at the table, but after being generally ignored and then told defensively that the people running around the patio weren't servers, but just food deliverers, I gave up and skipped the tip. And I'm a former waitress. I left thirsty and aggravated.I'll leave the Jolly Pumpkin to other diners who feel jollier about serving themselves than I do. This is not the place for

The food at Jolly Pumpkin Dexter is beyond great. The chef uses mall locally sourced, seasonal ingredients and makes everything from scratch. The flavor combinations are truly amazing. This is without doubt the best food in Dexter.

Says right on the Google map: "known for their fries" except you can't order the fries. You can only get fries if you get a burger. So I asked: "can a vegetarian order fries?" And their answer was "no." Seriously. That was their answer. So if you're a vegetarian and you want the fries, you're SOL.
