"The all-season outdoor space at Old Ground Social is filled with couches, firepits, twinkle lights, plant walls, TVs, and giant dice. Does it look a little like the set of a social experiment show on Netflix? Maybe. But coming here for drinks and a burger is a nice change of pace from your apartment. Plus, they occasionally have deep-fried Oreos." - adrian kane

Came for the Tuesday $10 happy hour deal. The fried chicken burger was a 3/5 but really pretty ambience.

5 stars for the atmosphere alone. The outdoor patio is amazing, and such a fun place to day drink and eat with friends. Highly recommend

The outside section is very nice! I came here for the first time and it was great to sit outside and watch sports. The seating was very comfortable and the decorations were nice in the outside area. The waitress was so nice and helpful since we had a large table and was easily able to split the check. There was a wide selection of drinks.

After initially having a bad start here,decided to give it a second chance and it was a complete 180. Heather Converse the general manager definitely made it her priority to set things right and not leave things the way they were. She went above and beyond to make sure we were not only treated right,but that the overall experience was great. The food was great,the beer kept coming and last but DEFINITELY not least,Nikki(our bartender) was absolutely AMAZING. She went above and beyond as well to make sure me and my buddy were enjoying ourselves. Such a great attitude,very friendly,and tended to us phenomenally. Will definitely go back just for her. Should she be there Thursdays even better!

Ther girl who served us was great! Nice vibe. Good brunch/mimosa deal. And most of all, dog friendly. I wish I brought my pup...they even have food and water for the pups. The brunch menu is limited but food was good.

I will definitely give this place a second try and hope to give it better star ratings, but it was my first time here and our bartender, Rosie, was not very friendly and gave us terrible service. Me and my friend arrive and she just looked at us and told the security guy, “are you here to check I.Ds or are you here for decoration?” Good thing the security guy put her in her place but I already had a bad vibe towards her. She got our first drinks right away, but didn’t come back for our food order till some other guy checked in on us and took our order. I would’ve ordered a few more drinks but we were invisible to her and not once did she smiled at us. Just had a very snotty attitude. I left only 10% tip and I always leave 20% even if I had terrible service cause I feel bad leaving less, but my friend convinced me to give only 10% which Rosie did deserve. Another small thing that sucked was that I was paying for some songs on the juke box but it was interrupted by the bingo game that was going on and off, so that was money down the drain. Again I would definitely come back to this place to give it another shot and hopefully give it better stars, but I’m also going to try and stay away from Rosie’s side. Food was great and the ambiance was great.

Love the new brunch menu! My girlfriend and I sampled a couple of their skillets and they were both amazing... plus, we showed up at 2:45 and our server honored the bottomless mimosas even tho brunch only goes until 3pm - will deinfitely be back!

We went out for a friends 21st birthday today and the entire time we were there I felt the eyes of the manager on us, as if we were being profiled for being young and outgoing. Not once did we start trouble. On top of being told we need to leave, our card was WAY overcharged. I intend on contacting management tomorrow as soon as they open to sort this mess out. Our tab came out to over $300+, for 3 orders of wings and 2 margarita towers. My suspicions points to being double charged for a friends order of shots. Will update once this gets settled. Until then, I will leave a 1 star review for this establishment.
