Jolly Pumpkin Dearborn

Have been loving this place. Right in the downtown, pleasant environment with outdoor seating which is also PET-FRIENDLY so yaay! Take your furr friends with you :) They have Trivias on selected day of the week and live music on Saturdays. Gotta listen to Don! He is excellent singer which makes him a great entertainer. Food is excellent! Their beers and pizzas are phenomenal! I have had their sour beers in cans tons of times and they stepped up their cocktail game too! Also, this place has a ready-to-pay setup. So you meet the host at the entrance and get seated and order from your phone from your table itself and the staff brings the food out to your table. YAY TECHNOLOGY!!!☺️ Minimal server-customer interaction but you still get the feel of being-taken-care-of. I have always liked how their staff is super friendly and very well-mannered.

Great food, friendly staff, and reasonably priced. The tomato pizza was amazing! Cooked perfectly and the ingredients tasted so fresh. I would also recommend the mango margarita. My only negative is the food/drinks took a while with what felt like a fairly empty restaurant.

This place is literally downstairs for me at work. I think that’s their biggest advantage when attracting the ford employees for lunches and dinners. I was blown away by the modern and eye soothing ambience. I think, I rated this place three star only because of ambience. You feel a nice and warm vibe as soon as you enter the place. The service was okayish, not outstanding. I had to wait for a good 4-5 minutes before someone came to my table and asked/brought a glass of water. Maybe they were waiting for a company as I asked for a table of two. I don’t know. I ordered chicken tacos as that’s the only item I thought was reasonably priced, or maybe I wasn’t hungry that much. It was good on their part that they gave a side of street tacos, which I loved. Some salsa would have been better, anyhow, the moment I took the first bite of the chicken tacos, I knew it was missing something. I just did not taste that “aha” factor which I crave for whenever I go out for food, which happens rarely. I didn’t experience the excitement that I get when I try food from a new place, neither some effort to stand apart from other places, so I was disappointed with the quality of food, even though the prices were more than it justified. Before closing the review, I think, if they improve their food quality and if the servers engage with customers more, I’ll surely give it a try; but, not anytime soon.

Nothing on the menu really stood out to me but I got this chicken sandwich and it was actually pretty good with the fries. Only thing tho you have to scan the menu on your phone, place your order and pay for your order on the online app. The waitress did not tell us this so we set there for almost 10 minutes and almost left.

I've been passing this place on Michigan Avenue and thought I should try it out. So many things went wrong. Where to begin? First, I was told the half booths were reserved for a party. A party that didn't show up during the hour I was there. Same with the open booth. I was told it was part of the rotation so I couldn't sit there. Next, I was sat in the middle of the room, at a table that wobbled so my drink kept spilling. When I notified the waitress, she offered me a different table. I had to request a refill of my drink since it had spilled 4x. I also had to move my items to the replacement table. Then, after my dinner, which was a veggie pizza as there werent many veggie options, I was offerred a "box." The waitress brought me two small boxes with an apology that she didnt have anything larger but yet, I saw customers leaving with normal sized pizza boxes. How in the world AM I supposed to pack 1/2 a pizza into two small boxes? By the way, the fries, although cold, were good. The spinach pizza was tasty also. Guess it wasn't my night to be jolly at the pumpkin. 😞

Customer service is excellent but food was ok. I ordered the Mahi Tacos, not impressed by the taste of all the toppings combined. I could not taste the pineapple slaw. I will come back to try other items. Nice ambience to chill.

Great atmosphere for a group or intimate setting. They have a unique menu, but the food was a little bland. If you like sour beers or fruity cocktails give it a shot. Expect to spend between $40-60 per couple.

Awesome food. Great selection of beers. More on the sour side since it is a jolly pumpkin creation. I had the brussel sprouts which were AMAZING and the Baja burrito which was also very great! I took half of it home because it was so filling!! Loved the atmosphere and the food came quickly!
