Side Car Cafe

Visited Side Car for the first time weeks ago for a ladies luncheon.
Service was fast… even with the fact there were 30+ in our party.
I ordered the soup and salad. Soup was hot and full of flavor. The salad was fresh and tasty. Only slightly over dressed.
The only complaint that I have is that our get-​together was on the enclosed patio, but there was no heat or heat lamps turned on. So wearing a coat was mandatory.

Might be Cool bar. Might have Good food.
But they allow smoking!
So the food tastes like shit
And the bar smells like shit.
So if you want to visit a place that stinks like a giant shitty ashtray, this is your place!
Time to get with the times people. SMOKING SUCKS.
Ban smoking indoors like the rest of the civilized world does.
Now I must go wash my clothes and take a shower!

Biker bar, sports bar with lots of tv’s. The owner is very friendly, food is southern style, drinks are good. I recommend this place if you want a meal and watch a sport.

While driving, through Tennessee I stumbled upon this place.
Don’t let yalp fool you this place is a bar that serves food. The staff is nice and the food is bar food. I had the burger casadea. Yes that’s a thing. Once I rung out the grease it wasn’t bad. Not for the fegh of heart. But sometimes you just want to eat something super sloppy and filled with grease. I was in that kind of mood.

Great place to ride ur bike and hangout !!! Pretty good food and drinks too !!! Sidecar club was really good !!! Check them out !!!

Best fried pickles in town!!! Great lunch specials! The atmosphere is friendly and home townish. Great live bands too!

I had a salad which was nothing special, and the chicken & dumplings which was the «special» of the day. It needed lots of salt and pepper; it wasn’t seasoned at all and had no flavor. It tasted like it had been frozen or came from a can. Everybody smokes in here too; I guess that’s why they can’t taste the food and don’t realize it’s nothing worth making a trip here for.

Came in for a late lunch — had toasted ravioli up front. I had salad & gumbo. Dyann & Jennifer shared a French Dip with onion rings.
We sat on the patio — 72 degrees — still got a little cigarette smoke.
The ravioli was a little over cooked and the sauce seemed out of a jar. My salad was ok — fresh but no house made dressings. My gumbo was salty and if there was any other meat than sausage, I missed it.
Dyann’s French Dip was also very salty — onion rings were typical frozen bar fare.
Service was ok and the atmosphere was good except for the periodic cigarette smoke.
This place could be killer with fresh food and the right management team. We will give them another try and ask to go lite on the seasoning.

I eat here 3 – 4 times a month for lunch. Nothing fancy… Biker-​centric décor and evening crowd. Typical workday lunch crowd. One half of the bar is smoking, though it is very well ventilated so the dining side isn’t bothered by the smell. 21+ at all times!
Food is slightly above average pub grub. The menu yields Few surprises, but it doesn’t need to. I generally get the chicken tenders blackened (nice and moist) with a side salad (always tastes fresh) and a cup of their gumbo (above average to very good depending on the batch).
Service is always stellar from the usual severs/​girls. Quick service, remember our orders and preferences, and always smiling. When they bring in someone new there can be some hiccups but they seem to get them in line very quickly. Thumbs up to the manager on that.

Good spot for bike night, other than that it is just another smoke filled biker themed bar. Just ok food and a nothing special beer selection. This is a 21 and up place so no kids means every smoker in town comes here to light up and smoke inside making this an old school smoke filled bar. Heck even the big outdoor patio gets smoke filled which is impressive.
If you are a smoker or if you want to leave smelling like an ashtray this is the place to be!
Tip for the owner: you need to invest in some smoke eaters, they should be cheap second hand since you pretty much cant smoke anywhere now. I would be a regular for bike night if you did.

I came here with a friend to watch the Grizz game and have a few drinks. Drink prices were reasonable and the service was great! However, the crowd was a bit sparse, which was surprising on a game night. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip with chips and the fried green beans (at the recommendation of our server). The fried green beans are the bomb!
Rumor has it that this is the place to be on bike night (Wednesday). Being a newbie to the bike world myself means I will probably need to come back for a visit.

Food is good. Service is inconsistent.

AVOID THIS PLACE.
Altogether we were there for two hours, and not because we wanted to have a nice, leisurely meal. The service wasn’t bad, it was downright non-​existent.
First, the food. My table got mini corn dogs, burger, and catfish. The food wasn’t bad, but the service was bad enough to make us never want to go back. First, we waited at least 15 minutes just to get our drink order taken. That should’ve been our first sign to leave, but we were tired and hungry and didn’t feel like getting back in the car and going anywhere else. Then the food took forever to get to our table. Finally, we waited half an hour for our check. I wish I was exaggerating with these times, but I promise you I’m not.
Finally, we just got frustrated with the crappy service (we could not even find our waiter to flag him down to ask for the check), so we figured if we headed for the door it would make someone show up, and FINALLY it got our waiter to show his face. Even though we were waiting by the door, we then got a bunch of attitude for apparently trying to dine and ditch (at this point we thought maybe we were supposed to pay someone else, not at our table since our waiter had disappeared) — not cool. Finally got to pay the check and leave, thank god.
Never going back to this place again. The smoke or the atmosphere didn’t bother me at all, but the staff sure put me off of ever going again.

I give the sidecar café four stars because I am a «buffalo» flavor fanatic and the buffalo chicken tenders here at sidecar are amazing. They give you quite a few, so you can almost always take some home (unless you are ravenous). I am also a fan of their side salads (they shrunk over the last year but their croutons and dressings are tasty.
They have two kinds of fries: homestyle and crinkle. The servers usually have recommended the homestyle to me, but I am a crinkle-​cut man. The fries are pretty good, rarely underdone.
I have had other very good things here, such as their philly and burgers. They also always have excellent sweet tea. Why not five stars then, you may ask? Well, that is for two reasons. First, because they nickel and dime you. Want more ranch for your salad? 50 cents. Want some ranch to dip those tenders in? 50 cents. I hate that kind of crap.
Secondly, the service here is very inconsistent. If you come at 11 when they open, its amazing. If you come at lunch rush, you could either have very good or very horrible and borderline intolerable service. I have had both.
In any case, go to Sidecar and check out the buffalo tenders or one of their cheese steak sandwiches (beef, chicken, or the big one with both). I do not think you will be disappointed.

The best Philly anywhere — including Philadelphia. (Try the Super Philly — combo of Steak & Chicken). Excellent patio area and live music for bike nights (Wednesdays) and other nights throughout the year.

I do agree with the previous reviews about the smoky atmosphere, but it is essentially a biker bar next to a Harley dealership. The smoke doesn’t bother me and I think the «no guns» sign is kind of funny.
Onto the food: catfish is good, Philly steaks are great though not authentic, burgers are great, and the mashed potatoes are a smash hit for me.

Noelle P. is right. This place is very smokey, sometimes worse than others. But the fact that is a bar, pretty much guarantees that people are gonna smoke here. The good news is the patio is nice so you can eat outside to get away from it.
I like the hamburgers, as well as their «Screamin Eagle Wings». You can get em double dipped or naked with either a honey or a hot sauce. Love em!
And if you’re into motorcycles (which I am not) you might want to go on Wednesdays for bike night. But there are specials and fun events on every night of the week. Mondays are $ 10 steak nights and every day they have a hot plate lunch special for just $ 5.

I wanted to give this more stars. This is a 21 and over only establishment. The reason — it smells quite strongly of smoke, which, to me, is unappealing.
The interior is open and large, with several tables, and large bar, and a nice patio outside. The food is all-​American, burgers and beer, and you’re sure to find something to satisfy your taste buds.
Personally, I took a gander at the menu and decided to leave, simply due to the, you guessed it, smoke smell. If that doesn’t bother you, you may find it to be a nice place to have a burger. It’s just an appetite-​killer for me.
