Saucy Brew Works - Pinecrest

Confused as into why my review was taken down when I was a customer who just wanted to share a terrible experience. Started when I walked in to an empty restaurant, mind you no one else was there and I was never given water & then had to grab my own food and drinks myself. Next I ordered chicken tendered that looked like they were fresh out of the deep freezer and were Tyson chicken nugget quality. I could’ve gotten Arby’s chicken tenders and they would have been crispy and crunchy. Next my boyfriend ordered wings which were fried hard… but undercooked. I made a review the same day I dined… and I check to see if it’s still up and they took it down! Do not dine here and do not waste your money! STOP TAKING MY REVIEW DOWN!!

I ordered the Fungus Amongus 10in pizza. Firstoff, I'm not sure who did the toppings, but they gave up on 1/4 of the pizza. The crust was rock hard and probably could chip a tooth. Honestly I was really looking forward to this pizza and it was just plain disappointing. I also ordered their house mac and cheese. I am not sure what was going on with it, but it's sour tasting and clumpy and just plain repulsive and inedible. I didn't know it was possible to mess up mac and cheese this badly. The only edible thing in this order was the pretzel stick. NEVER AGAIN, what a waste of money....Had I not gotten this through Uber Eats I definitely would have returned it all.

The food was terrible. Pulled chicken was rubbery and cold. Caesar salad was bland and boring. The caprese sandwich was extremely underwhelming and the bread tasted funny. Mac and cheese tasted ok but was watery.

Service and food were not as expected. We sat at a table, and someone from the bar threw us a couple of menus and told us to order at the bar when ready. The server never came back to check on us, and when it was time to leave, we waited at the register to pay.

Ordered on an app. This is how it showed up. $20 pizzas. Not just a delivery issue either. Check out some of the other pictures in the reviews.

We had a good happy hour experience here - $4 anything on draft and half price some of the food options. All the beers were great! The food was so-so - the buffalo chicken dip was delicious but the chicken tenders were absolutely horrible. They are the cheapest, processed "chicken" and they seemed pan fried. Further study of the menu suggested they don't have a deep fryer. Luckily we only paid half price for them but even that was too much.

The other thing I thought was unusual was the bathroom was very open concept - no solid door between our table and the toilet I used made me uncomfortable.

Recommend the beers though!

Pizza was supposed to have tomatoes, avocado, and sriracha sauce, not just blacked tomatoes.

Went for Cleveland pizza week and got the $9 Bee’s Knees and a flight of 6 beers. The pizza and beer were incredible!

I would echo a lot of the other reviews and say that it’s a very confusing experience when you walk in and they really need to work on that.

I took my mom to Saucy Brew Works to check out their Mac & Cheese after seeing it on Food In Cleveland on IG (it was served in a skillet with lots of cheese). As you can see ours was served in an aluminum togo container. It tasted ok, but definitely not worth $14. I asked the bartender/waitress why it was served that way and she said “people keep stealing the skillets”.

The bread sticks were awful and inedible. Those are the clumps of hardened dough you see in the pic. The salad was also not as described and was missing the black bean corn salsa and the smoked cheese. The wings tasted ok. The bartender/waitress was friendly. But this is not a place I would recommend going.

*Update*
A great-great place to watch a game -- pumpkin ale Boo Thang + same wings

*Original*
A great place to come watch a game (Gooooo Sports Team!???), grab a drink, and munch some pizza / wings. My favs (drinks) -- Drop Drip Drop, Puff Cone, Caramel Apple (all on the sweet side). Got Buffy Summers and Bee Sting wings to balance ?

Honorable Mention: to brown ale Here We Go (for some reason, I was in the mood for sweet today)

I have been here for drinks and pizza before and I loved it, but last night my family and I got pizzas and they were horrible. The crust was caked with flour and it tasted like we were eating plato.

Can’t speak to the beer but I had the worst sandwich of my life here. It was so dry I couldn’t even eat it. Whatever you do, don’t get the caprese sandwich.
