Stopped in on what appeared to be a slower Tuesday night, and were met with friendly service. The drinks were delicious and the fries were really something special. Gonna have to come back to play with the Guitar Hero game.

Bring back the old fries, PLEASE.Broadleaf was a staple pre-dinner and app location for us. Their old duck fat fries were some of the best fries in GR. Sadly, we realized last night they have swapped out the crispy, fluffy fries for shoestring ones. The new fries are not bad, but also not worth $10. Looking through the reviews, many others sang the praises of the old fries. The staff said the old ones were taking too long to cook, backing up the kitchen, but I fear that the kitchen will not have plenty of time without this staple, which was worth diverting for.Broadleaf has an amazing location, especially in the summer; the outdoor garden is hard to beat. The beer here is solid, with interesting styles playing off their German roots. We enjoy the food but have always felt it is a bit overpriced and lacking a bit in variety. Without the staple menu item I am afraid we will return less often, which we are bummed about.

Great service. Duck fat fries are so decadent.Tried the burger and chicken sandwich. Cucumber on a chicken sandwich seems wrong but was so perfect. Both were superb.

Very nice! First time to the Westside version of one of our favorites on the Eastside! They had the newest versions of my favorite Sour Lake (all of which are really good), and a quite different menu. Loved the Bao Buns!
Vegetarian options: The vegetarian bao bun with tofu was great!

Such a cool place off the path. But with all due respect, the Gettin’ Caught In the Rain cocktail tastes like a JC Penney’s shopping bag. I can’t explain it. Otherwise great!
Friday evening not busy. Had a had time getting service two other couples at the bar. Wanted to order food but couldn't even get a beer so we left. Many other better options nearby. Beer was

The outside beer garden is great respite in the middle of the Stock/Bridge restaurant scene.
Parking: You can park in back by the beer garden using a downloadable app or txt a # and type pay. Pretty simple.

I was here last Saturday night and was being picky about getting a margarita because some of the cocktails are pre-mixed and I didn't want anything sweet, and the awesome bartender with the cool cross-stitch earrings made me the best margarita ever by hand!! I just grabbed my drink and hurried off to sit with my friends and don't think I appropriately thanked her. Thank you!! Your service was amazing and the drink was exactly what I wanted :)

Wanted to love it, just left liking it. My bao buns were very good. But I paid 13 dollars for two and probably got a 4x2in thin piece of meat and no sides. My husband's Fry's were excellent. The staff was ok...not very helpful. The Eastbrook location has a more extensive menu. The west side is limited.

Great beers and even better Thai and asian inspired food. Their pork belly Bao buns and chicken sandwich were fantastic, and their outdoor patio area is family and pet friendly. It's even got covered cubbies to eat in in bad weather.
