Sidetrack Bar and Grill

We really enjoyed the atmosphere and the vibes of Sidetrack really fit depot town. They have a lot of really cool details when you look around and they do a great job decorating for Holidays. The service is always pretty great and the waitstaff is very nice and polite and gives the right amount of attention to the tables. When asked they give great recommendations on their menu. They have great “bar food” , all of the burgers are on their menu are amazing. Many of the appetizers they have are delicious. For a starter we got the Mac eggrolls and they were incredible. Highly recommend! This time we got the Portobello burger, Salmon, and the Mac n Cheese. Everything was good. The salmon could have had a tad bit more of seasoning but was cooked incredibly well. The Mac and cheese was good and the penne noodles make it very interesting. Overall, we love coming to eat here when we go to Ypsilanti and would recommend.

My son from Detroit recommended going to Ypsilanti and walking the area. We decided to eat at the Sidetrack Bar and Grill, and I am glad we did. Rich in decorations and just a classic place to hang out, have a beer and eat a good meal. Great service from start to finish. I had the sliders which were amazing. Our party of 5 enjoyed all our food and we were well taken care of. For dessert, we had the bread pudding, very tasty. If you are touring Ypsilanti and are hungry or thirsty, stop in and enjoy the Sidetrack Bar and Grill.

Don't hesitate to go here! Fantastic food, fantastic atmosphere! You can eat on beautiful patios or in a historic bar. The food prices are low and you get a large portion. The desserts are amazing!

This is a cool place. It is a hike from my house away. I come a couple times a year but every time we come, the food is good and the service. If you’re lucky and have a sit by the window sometimes the train will go blowing by you. It is a very cozy atmosphere.

Great food, burgers are fantastic. The happy hour is one of the best I've seen. The decor is great, and to top it all off, the employees are friendly. Not in a "I'm fishing for a big tip" way, but in a nice way. I wish I lived closer, I'd be here a lot!

Beat happy hour in Ypsi! They have great beer deals where you can buy 27oz of two hearted for cheap! They also give you cheaper egg rolls, I highly recommend the Big Mac egg rolls. A good vibe and friendly but not overbearing staff.

This place has some cool decorations and it has been there for a long time. I think they are mostly good with sandwiches. I ordered the Ypsilanti Hash and the eggs were overcooked, a few tiny little pieces of beef and a mountain of potatoes. I got a stomachache the rest of the day. The table was not wiped and had crumbs all over it. The whole place didn't seem very clean. We tried the Reuben egg rolls and they were very good! The place was pretty crowded and they serve huge beers for not much,

If you are in Ypsilanti, this is a reasonably priced restaurant that is loved by locals in depot town. We had a wonderful late lunch. We had no wait, but the restaurant was quite full. I know dinners often have wait times. It was beautifully decorated for the holidays. And the authentic decor is amazing. There are lots of train-oriented vintage items, as they are literally next to the train tracks. I got the Michigan Harvest salad, and my spouse got a burger and fries. My salad was very basic for a popular salad locally, but everything was fresh and pleasing. My spouse inhaled his burger, and he highly recommends any of the burgers. After his burger was gone, he started on the fries, which are fresh cut. He then asked the server for some malt vinegar for the fries. Not only did she bring that over, she brought him another basket of freshly made fries as they "taste best" that way with malt vinegar! Clearly, the server was very attentive and friendly.
