Was looking for a new place to grab a quick snack before going to the movies, and Sidecar Slider Bar did not disappoint! We stuck to the shareable menu because we planned on eating a ridiculous amount of popcorn, and the items we picked were amazing! We went with the waffle truffle parmesan fries, roasted balsamic and blue cheese Brussel sprouts, and southwest egg rolls. The truffle fries were absolutely hands down the best parmesan truffle fries I have had, and I have had them at a few different establishments. They were hot, fresh, big, and I loved that they were tossed in a truffle oil AND covered with a parmesan truffle sauce instead of just a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. The Brussel sprouts were really good. They also come with bacon, but we aren't pork eaters, so we ordered them without, but they were still awesome! The balsamic and blue cheese crumble complimented the crispy Brussel sprouts well. Last but not least , the southwest egg rolls. They came with a side of sour cream and a zesty spicy ranch type dressing. They were great, stuffed with the perfect amount of black beans, corn, chicken, cheese, and spices. When they say shareable, they mean it because those three dishes had the two of us extremely full and needing a brisk walk before heading to the movies to fill up on movie theater treats! In all, it was a great new restaurant experience that I will definitely return to have. The wait staff was awesome, and the place was clean, and the vibes were great. Kind of a sports bar meets family hang out spot! Check out Side Car Slider Bar next time you are in downtown Birmingham, MI.
First time eating here, and I was definitely not disappointed! The pizza was fantastic, and if you've been to NYC and have had to brave the small but awesome pizzerias and the crowds, then this place will feel awfully familiar! Friday night at 730pm, the place was jumping! It's not a large place, so it can get tight l, but honestly, I felt it made the experience and the pizza that much better! You go in, step to the counter, tell or shout...in our case, it was super crowded and loud, so we shouted, the order to one of the gentlemen behind the counter and stand back and watch your order being made! They have a large menu, but don't worry if you can't choose... you can order slices! One of each kind if you like. I got one slice of the 3 mushrooms, 3 cheese, Margherita, and four cheese! I can see why they are faves and their signature slices. Each one tasted so fresh and different. My favorite was the Four Cheese! Melt in your mouth good, and the addition of the mascarpone cheese was a touch I never thought I needed until I had that slice of cheese pizza! Added such a silky smooth bite...it was good! I could go on all day, but the best advice I can give is to head to Birmingham and grab a slice or three for yourself! They also sell ice cream for a sweet treat!
Had a great family night out! The Tigers didn't win, but it was a fun game anyway! Even if you aren't that into baseball, it is a great place to go for the food, activities for the children and great atmosphere! They do have a purse/backpack and diaper bag rule now, so be aware of that. You can't bring in purses or bags over a certain size, but they do offer complimentary bag check! I gave them my bag, and they took my name and phone number and gave me a ticket to bring back to retrieve my bag after the game. You can go pick it up at any time, of course, and you have up to 30 minutes to go get it once the game is over. It was a very efficient and smooth process! In all, it was a great evening and game. The food is always great and there is always something for everyone, just make sure you bring enough money. It's by no means super expensive, but not super cheap either. You do get what you pay for by way of quantity and quality, so that is a plus! In all, I can't wait to go back!
