Omg!!! Stopped in here for dinner with a group of friends and I was blown away!! I got the burger with queso on it and WOW. It was probably the most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten. Our food didn’t take long, our service was good, and the food was incredible. 10/10!!!

Delicious food and friendly service. I always feel welcomed here on thursday night trivia nights and Allie is a great host that makes the night fun. We always get the same waiter and always get fantastic service. Their tater tots are my favorites of all time and you can't go wrong with their burgers or chicken sandwich.
Decent place with good service and food. Paying $3 for an ice cube in my drink was a bit much. Has vegan options.

Drinks? Good. Service? Fine. Music? TRASH! Come here if you're looking to get whiplash between rock lobster and Mitski's sad girl ballads.

Nice to have some vegan sandwich options. We had the jumpin’ jack flash and the green goblin, both were very good. The green goblin could use a bit of acidity, maybe some of the pickled jalapeños. Definitely will be back!
I came here a couple months ago on a Sunday afternoon. Place was absolutely empty. Asked to eat outside because the interior was so so dark.Staff was kind of just standing around. Getting our food and drink orders took a while. Nice people thoughFries were solid, but the seasoning was a bit off. Also just shaved Parm on topFried wings were pretty basic. Tasted good on a standalone basis. The sauces were a little weirdBeer was great and cold.Some other, better spots to hit in that area in my opinion. Maybe I should go back to try again tho

Went here twice this week as we had friends and family in town. Waited over 40 minutes for one beer as the first we ordered (Oberon) wasn’t even on tap. The second ones we ordered the keg needed to be changed which easily took 30 minutes. Second night we came to watch the lions game and about half the TVs did not have the game on despite only having two tables seated. Also stated if we wanted any food to order right then because the kitchen was closing so staff could watch the game at 8:30? Refused to put game on but closed the kitchen early to watch it? Just didn’t make any sense

Having frequented many Royal Oak establishments over the past 25 years, I think The Side Bar is the best bar I have seen for several reasons:The staff is great; Dayna, Kyle, Jenna & Emily are fabulous bartenders while Sage, Marissa, Nicky handle serving like pros. Kayla keeps events on track and from Owner to Hostess, they are all friendly, respectful and a pleasure to spend time with.The Happy Hour (02:00 to 06:00) is very reasonable and by starting a little earlier than other places give a person a chance to avoid the crowds until later in the afternoon. Appetizers & drinks very budget friendly.Small patio (6 tables) but being on 4th Street as opposed to Main you can avoid all the foot traffic than makes conversations difficult and still if you like, people watch. It also is in close proximity to The Music Theatre for a quick stop before attending a show.I'd would highly recommend you make a visit if you haven't already.

Sorry yo say the food was sub par. Greasy and spicy. I ordered a club sandwich. The bread was drenched in butter the man grilled. Instead of may the sauce was a chipotle type. Tater tots done well but greasy. I asked for a side of queso for the tater tots. I asked if they were spicy. I was told no but they had peppers in the mix. I will not be going back. If I can't get fresh and done traditional then I will cook at home.
