This is my second time here. The first was during the very early days. This experience was much better overall. The waitstaff was wonderful, fast and polite. The restaurant was clean and had a nice warm environment. In ordered the steak frites med. rare and that is just how it arrived. Our only blip was that it did not arrive with a steak knife but a quick inquiry solved that. The prices are still a dollar or two high on most everything but the experience this time raised my opinion quite a bit. I will be back.

Date night! I was very curious to try out The Ada Pour House. All most all reviews I have read have been very polarized. People either love it or well don't. We arrived Saturday around 6:10 and got seated immediately. The outside patio looked tempting but it was already chilly outside so we opted for a high-top in the "bar" area so my husband could catch the last part of his football game. After a few minutes I was shivering anyway. The restaurant was cold! If I had wanted to shiver we could have just sat outside. Part of me gets it, as its that time of year where you start in a sweatshirt and end in shorts but when I looked around I saw several people sitting hands in sleeves and rubbing arms so I know I wasn't alone in being cold. APH time to turn down the air! They have an impressive bottled beer list and several on tap as well. If you are a craft beer lover chances are they are going to have something that will appeal to you. We asked or server what he likes "Corona". OK then, nothing wrong with that but it sounded funny when you are surrounded with literally 60 craft beers. For dinner I ordered the fried chicken dinner and my husband got the beef brisket sandwich. My dinner was delicious. The collard greens were spicy and perfectly cooked and the buttermilk mashed potatoes were to die for. I wish there had been one more piece of chicken. For $14 I got a leg and a tiny thigh, which were delicious but left me wanting more. My husbands sandwich was more disappointing. The brisket was very tough and chewy. It was impossible to bite through the sandwich without either having to chew on the brisket a few times to get through or pull it out in your teeth. He ended up taking it off the sandwich and eating it separately with a knife and fork. Sorry if the brisket is so tough you need a knife to cut through it, it doesn't belong on a sandwich. When I was about 2/3rds through my dinner our server asked if we wanted another drink. I ordered The Cinnamon Doughnut off their cocktail menu. Now I had been lusting after this drink after I saw it on EatGR and really it fueled my desire to check this place out. Picture a copper mug with iced coffee, Baileys, Cinnamon whiskey and garnished with a fat, homemade cinnamon and sugar doughnut hole soaking up all the goodness. Here's where my dream fell apart. Upon ordering, our server frowned a little and said "OK, just so you know the drink doesn't take long but the doughnut can" Since I wasn't even finished with my dinner or first drink, and since I had ordered it as more of a dessert I said no problem. About 8 minutes later I see the bartender make my drink and set it in the pick up area. About 4 minutes after that our server brings it to me and says "well heres the drink part I checked and the doughnut isn't ready" Umm ok (Its fried dough seriously?) The problem now was I had a drink with a lot of ice that was melting and watering down all the goodness. I took a few sips, and waited and waited and.waited. Kid you not it took nearly another 15 minutes for him to bring me the doughnut hole. It came so late that not only had I pretty much finished my drink but we had even got the bill (of which he had taken $2 off due to the incompleteness of my drink order) Sigh. Look if you're going to have a drink called the Cinnamon Doughnut, I think a pretty important aspect is to actually have the doughnut. I don't know what the issue was but they either need to get it off the menu or put a disclaimer that says *will take 45 minutes to prepare and for heavens-sake don't make the drink part (which only takes seconds) until its ready. My sheer irritation at this and the tough brisket is why this is a 3 vs a 4 star. I heard several times that they are going to be revamping the menu soon and we'll be back to check it out, hopefully with a better outcome.

Just got done with my third dinner at Ada Pour House and could not have been happier. We have gone with different groups of friends every time and everyone has enjoyed the food and experience every time. I noticed the reviews on here all have been from when they were first starting up and wonder if it has anything to do with the negative feedback.The first time that we went was in the first week that they were open and things seemed a little hectic since then every visit has been wonderful. Tonight we had the beef tar-tar and calamari appetizer and both were done perfectly. The tartare was one of the best I have ever had and I order it at every restaurant I go to that serves it. They do homemade fried capers that really made the dish. The fried macaroni bites and tater tots were just okay from the appetizer menu. I have nothing to complain about with them they're just did not seem to be anything special. Twice I have gotten their hamburgers and both times they were worth the $15. They use 60% brisket and 40% ground Chuck beef that is locally sourced from Byron Center farms and is worth the extra couple dollars. Another nice thing about the menu is the fact that they serve a 30 ounce ribeye steak that is fantastic. They also allow you to choose the size of cut for beef tenderloin that you would like making it easy to do any châteaubriand if you want a large dinner. Overall, this was a great dining experience and a place I would recommend anyone looking for a informal fantastic dinner.

Saw a sign on the highway for a new non-chain restaurant in town so had to give it a try. The place looks great, but only had two large tables to accommodate larger parties. Open kitchen concept showed well, but saw food under lamps for too long. Maybe this place is still working out some kinks, but the service was on the slow side, especially for a business lunch. Props for trying to do the locally sourced trend for the burgers. Unfortunately their breakfast burger with chorizo lacked flavor. For an app, tried the homemade tater tots - giant balls that were somewhat crispy on the outside and soggy in the middle. The accompanying curry catsup was bland. Whitefish dip was just ok. The actual bar area was also on the small side. Looked to be around 16 local taps with the regular hard liquors available. They had a $60 steak on their menu that caught my attention as it priced higher than some of our downtown steakhouses. Price versus flavor, I don't think I'll be coming back.

The atmosphere at Ada Pour House is a bit lacking. It's somewhere in between pub and bistro, but I think it wants to be more upscale. The food was pretty decent. My friend and I shared the wings for an appetizer after encouragement from our server. They are not chicken wings... they're turkey wings. So, a lot bigger... and not as flavorful. They were tough and almost dry, with only a little bit of meat on them. It was more entertaining as a novelty than anything. I had the pretzel crusted chicken sandwich, which I really enjoyed. It had a cheese sauce on it that was amazing. We then split the chocolate chip cookie, again at the recommendation of our server. It was just okay. It was weirdly oaty, and had the consistency of a brownie, but with oatmeal? It was strange. I probably would not make the trip again.

My husband and I went to the Pour House for dinner this evening. We hadn't gone yet because we were scared off by bad reviews. I wish we had gone earlier. Their menu is very interesting. Imagine a southern-inspired gastro pub. We had the smoked trout dip appetizer; the dip was delicious but it would have been better with plainer crackers. I had the grilled Caesar salad and pan-fried Brussels sprouts. My husband had the brisket plate. Both of us were very pleased with our entrees. The drink selection was interesting also. I had the michigan margarita -- a tart alternative to the overly sweet margaritas that are typical. All in all, we enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere. The fact that this is relatively close to our home is an added bonus. We will be returning soon. The appetizer menu alone looks like it would make for a varied and delicious meal!

I was very excited for The Ada Pour House to open and support a new local business in town. Unfortunately, I was fairly unimpressed. While I give kudos to the atmosphere and large selection of beers, the overall experience just didn't do it for me. I ordered the Stout Rib Sandwich for $12 - the presentation was basic and the fries were cold. The menu consisted of some interesting dishes, but almost everything just seemed overpriced... even down the drinks. Being the new restaurant on the block, it just seemed very overpriced relative to the other restaurants and quality of food at those places. I understand this is a new establishment and sometimes you just have to work out the kinks. Here are some recommendations - I may consider coming back in the future... 1. Add a few lower priced appetizers - I didn't order one because most were the same price as my main course 2. Lower menu prices or add additional lower priced items to the entrees (selling 100 $10 burgers is better than selling 50 $15 burgers)

Disregard the pretentious haters. This place was sorely needed in Ada. Great food, great atmosphere! Have always had good service too. I recommend the 30 oz ribeye. My 13 year old daughter and I were supposed to share it. That tiny girl ate almost all of it herself!

Brisket? More like shitsket. I realize brisket has a fat cap but this was mostly fat and gristly, and served cold. Beer was good, as was service. Might give it one more chance... on someone else's dime.

We were excited for the place to open as it's close to our home. We were very disappointed. The servers were friendly and accommodating. The decor is nice and they had a good beer selection. The food is quite lacking and overpriced. I ordered the falafel burger and it was awful. Very bland and mushy. The waitress had it remade and it was worse the second time. I sent it back again and they took it off our bill. The owner was there and spoke to every table except ours. I would have expected him to come over due to the food issues and it was not busy. Three people in our party ordered burgers. They were small, burnt, and overcooked. For $15 you would expect more. My son did not want to finish his. My husband ordered a cup of chili, it was decent but priced at $7.50! The salads and garnishes all seemed to have sitting for a while or low quality. The lettuce was wilted and yellow with pink mushy tomatoes. I think the owners have a good concept, but not executed very well. The food is over priced and not very good. Living in Ada, families like to have a local place to go. The Pour House could be a very successful place. I hope the owners take in all these reviews, because it seems I am not the only one with these opinions. We will not be returning anytime soon..and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else at least until there are changes made and the reviews get better.

Overall cool at atmosphere. The food was good, I had a mushroom and Swiss burger for $15. Honestly, the prices are too high for what they serve. I was excited to have a great pub close by to enjoy more often but the food is too expensive for what it is. There aren't any appetizers that I recall less than $10. I would suggest adding in some less expensive appetizers and lowering some menu prices. Not sure I will be back.

This place was absolutely horrible. The grilled chicken sandwich was very plain and no flavor. The church fries were nothing special. Would never come here again.

we really wanted to like this place with it being new and local and close to us. The server recommended the avocado bacon burger and with brisket in the burger, I was sure it would be a hit. I ordered it medium and then we waited awhile. The place was not busy at all on a Sunday night at 6pm. When our food arrived, I could tell mine had sat under the burner for awhile. The burger was very well done and the avocado was brown from sitting. The bacon was also way over done as were the fries.. And after biting into the burger itself, there was no remarkable taste to it what so ever. I only tasted the over cooked burnt taste. If you didn't know there was avocado and bacon in it, you would've never guessed. My husband got the hot wings. Which was actually one large turkey wing (stated as such in the menu). This was listed under the appetizers and I find it hard to imagine how you would share this. It should've been an entree. Luckily, that is what he ordered it as. While it was juicy and cooked well, the Asian sauce was a bit too salty. My husband also ordered a side of the church fries. How could something tossed in garlic, herbs and Parmesan be bad? Well, they came out cold and it was like my overcooked fries with a few measly sprinkles of parm and herbs. Not melted, not gooey, not dripping in garlicy goodness like I had hoped. It takes a lot for my husband to send something back. Actually, this might be the first time. In addition, it was quite pricey. For $14, I would hope for a much better burger. I hope that they are just working out some kinks being new. I want to give it a second try, but it might be awhile.

Really unimpressed. I liked the idea of this place, and the look inside is cool. However, the food was unimpressive for the price. $14 for the avocado bacon burger. Thought it would have good flavor, but just tasted like a regular burger. Had flavorless avocado spread rather than flavorful fresh sliced avocado. Didn't have any brisket flavor either, which surprised us. Mac and cheese balls were dry and disappointing as well.

Stopped in for a late lunch with the family. Nice, clean atmosphere. Very attentive and friendly staff. Cheese Steak sandwich and fries were ok but very average. Looking forward to trying other menu items in the future.

What I've noticed here is a lack of consistency. I still like to come here, but the food quality varies randomly. (They also took the "Pretzel Crusted Chicken Sandwich" off the menu, which was really a great sandwich, and replaced it with a Caprese-like thing on naan bread.) I've gone here a few times and had a wonderful meal with outstanding service. Other times, the service has been very friendly, but very slow. The food quality has also varied from excellent to just "ok". The last time our family went, the burgers were back to being overcooked, the other sandwiches were just so-so and the service was very slow due to another large party dividing her attention. Bummer! I was really liking this place...

Everytime I read a good review on this place I think that the reviewers must be reviewing a different restaurant. For reals. I've gone to the Pour House three times and have been less than impressed each time. The food is over-priced and frankly it's just NOT good. First time I went I tried the calamari. It tasted like they rolled it around in some corn meal and fried it with no seasoning. First of all, you don't use corn meal on calamari; that's just disgusting. We also had the Thai pork belly sliders. If you're going to make sliders put enough meat on them to cover the bun. Seriously. It's a tiny bun, put some darn meat on it! We also tried their tots (which were complimentary from the owner who is a really nice guy! It almost pains me to leave a poor review...he was really nice!) They were bland and kind of mushy in the middle. Granted we went on opening day; I chalked it up to first day problems. The second time I went in was just for drinks but I decided to try the mac & cheese balls while I was there. The mac & cheese was bland. Kraft mac & cheese would have been an improvement. Seriously. The third time was again for drinks, but my friend was hungry so we tried the Not Poutine, which was surprisingly decent. If you're going to charge high prices your food better be fantastic. You can't just charge a lot of money because you're in Ada. The drinks are also over-priced. Don't get me started on that one.
