Remains a regular dinner in our rotation. Good food, good service, very reasonably priced. Usually busy, but rarely have to wait more than 10 minutes. We have been going to Sidetrack for 15+ years and have never had a bad experience. TIP: Get the sweet...potato fries with the horseradish dip - best we've had anywhere (and we eat our a lot!). Eclectic crowd of college students, locals, seniors from lots of different demographics. A great "melting pot" experience.More

Chis was our waiter, went in for a Thursday night dinner. Chris was very friendly and attentive- kept our drinks full and cold all night. Our order was exactly what we asked for and it was delicious! I had mini French dip sliders and beef/veggie...soup, hubby had mini blue cheese/hamburger sliders and son had cheeseburger on pretzel roll. Daughter ate chic fingers and dad had sliders. The fries were hot, food delicious and I highly recommend. It’s also a very historic/old building- make sure to ask the history while you are there! Easy parking.More

This was our second time having lunch at this spot. Once, about a year ago, we ate inside, and this time we were outside. Both times, we had attentive, knowledgeable service and tasty food. My husband appreciates the great craft beer selection, and I loved...the Bloody Mary bar! Tasty salads and sandwiches, and maybe the best pretzel bites we’ve ever had (and they’re a favorite of our daughter, so we get them a lot!). We’ll be back next time we’re in town!More

I frequent this establishment regularly and was thrilled when my niece decided to treat her mom, mother in law and myself to Mother's Day brunch. This place never disappoints! Comfortable atmosphere, fantastic food, efficient and friendly wait staff and helpful management staff... especially Erik, what...a delightful experience!More

Been here a few times and they can seem to get anything right. The owner is an awful person who treats the staff badly. Also if you park in their lot and wonder around the cute area after you eat they'll TOW your vehicle!

Incredibly slow. Took 10-15 minutes just to get our drinks. After about half an hour the waitress came to the table to ask if we had ordered yet (we had). Forty-eight minutes later we got ALL our food- including the appetizer.

We were looking for a casual bar/ restraunt to enjoy a beautiful Friday evening. Sidetracks did not disappoint. The service was spectacular! We entered the beer garden area and were promptly greeted by a very professional and kind manager, I think his name was ERIK....Instead of having to go in through the front to the hostess stand, he seated us right away outside.... which is exactly where we wanted to be. Our drinks came out promptly ...Kyle was our server. He also was very professional. Sidetracks has a great drink and beer menu with craft beers. For being a bar, the menu is quite extensive and extremely reasonable. The prices have NOT gone up like they have every where else! I am glad to see a selection of vegan options as well as juicy burgers, delicious salmon, etc for my husband. We will be back often. Thanks Erik and Kyle.More

Excellent service, extensive menu. Good seating created outside, for time of Covid concerns. They opened up the parking lot, & created many more seats. Good bar menu, & the food is outstanding.

My partner and I come here easily every two weeks. They are incredibly friendly no matter how busy and stressful things get. Staffing is hard so I always appreciate their ability to smile and have fun given their demanding jobs. They are always so sweet...to our dogs too. Always a bonus. Tonight we witnessed a table full or awful customers who walked in playing every complaint card they could to get everything comped. The server got cursed at and still maintained great service. The manager too did the best he could given no matter what he did wasn’t going to be good enough for this table. I felt so bad for the staff and wanted to tell the customers to leave. People be kind because the sidetrack staff sure was!!! We love you.More

Terrible experience, both the waiter and General Manager were very rude! They got all 4 orders wrong. That will be the last time my family and I will be going there. What a shame.

My partner and I were actually planning to go to a different restaurant, but it was closed and the Sidetrack/Frenchie's was open and nearby. The service was prompt and friendly and the food was good. The beer, wine, and spirits menus are extensive, and the...food and beers, at least, are reasonably priced. (I didn't check prices on wine or spirits.) My partner had the Reuben and I had the Turkey Reuben. Both came with potato chips. We both enjoyed our dinners, although my sandwich could have used a little more Russian dressing. My partner was pleased that the corned beef on her Reuben was quite lean.More

Visit Sidetrack for a fun supper and some craft beer. We had excellent appetizers for our supper. Staff was friendly and helpful. Service was basically outside given C-19 which is the safest. Watch as the trains come rattling by the restaurant. Some great hamburgers on...the menu as well.More
