    a bottle of beer on a table

    Really cool dive bar and awesome patio. They carried my buddies whisky so that was a bonus.

    two cans of beer

    Nice little place, complete outdoor setting with some good brews! Dog friendly and overall great atmosphere! I do wish there were servers for the tables but they make it work

    This is the old Taqueria Jalisco sign in the bathroom. It has now moved across the street. Great area to bar hop!

It has a good vibe, plenty of seating and plenty of parking in a lot next door. Parking is super tight around the restaurant property, but there is parking on the street and walkable parking as well! I really like their burgers. My only complaint is that I don't like the lettuce they use, but hey, I just took it off and I was super happy.

This is probably as close as they have to a sports bar atmosphere given the number of tv's and of course the ping pong table. When the weather is good, they have the ability to open up the back of the restaurant to their outside eating area, which is great. When the weather is uncooperative and the outside closed off, I find HFC to be a bit dark, with the motif maybe a bit dated. There's a full bar, with a very good beer selection. The service is always good, a characteristic of all the Monen restaurants. As to the food, there's a broad enough selection to satisfy anyone in your family. While the Philly brisket sandwich I had was just okay and I'm still trying to figure out the buffalo cucumber salad, the nachos and chicken wings were really good.

Was really good, but they gave so much I couldn't eat it all. My friend and her husband had been here before for drinks before a football game which they almost forgot about from enjoying the atmosphere here.

    Wow. It's been seven hours since I ate here and my stomach still hasn't forgiven me for it…read more I stopped in for lunch with a friend and I ordered a Grilled "Rueben" (yes, the misspelling is theirs, check the menu). Their sandwiches come with chips (I assume they are Ruffles... because they have ridges)... for a buck more you can have fries, or for $1.50 more you can have onion rings. I didn't want any of these, so the server told me I could have a salad (or any of their other sides). She disappeared and soon came back with a small bowl with a couple of pieces of iceberg lettuce, a huge quarter slice of tomato, and a few other "salad-y" type things. It was accompanied by the cup of the thickest blue cheese dressing I've ever seen in my entire life. I turned the cup over and the blue cheese came out in a big clump on top of my salad. I had to break it up with my fork and mix it up with my "salad". There was almost as much dressing as there was salad. Not a good start. Before I was even done with my "salad", our food was ready. This was not too surprising considering we were one of three tables in the place during the lunch rush, but I still thought it was real fast. Our plates were set down in front of us and I was ready to dig in. I grabbed one half of my sandwich and immediately felt that the bread was soggy on one side (the side on the plate)... and not just wet... soggy... soaked as in the bread turned to mush in my fingers. I took a bite and was disappointed even further. Something just didn't taste right. After choking my way through the first half of my sandwich, I figured out what it was. It was the "sauerkraut". It was the worst tasting sauerkraut I've ever put in my mouth. I scraped it off the other half of my sandwich, discarded the soggy piece of bread and folded the remaining half of bread over just the corned beef... that significantly improved the sandwich and that's not saying much. I was also under the impression that my salad would replace my chips... but no, I got a half plate of Ruffles and a fresh from the jar pickle spear too. In fact, I paid an extra two bucks for my little tiny bowl of "salad". Obviously none of the food here is fresh. It's bought at the grocery store, slapped together and heated in the microwave. I think this is more of a "saloon" and the "bistro" was an afterthought. Our server never checked back with us to see how things were going. She did have plenty of time to bring the other tables their checks and to sit and talk with the cooks. In fact, she was so busy with that the cashier (a manager, maybe?) came by with the check for us just after we got our food. In a hurry, much? I mean, were they *sooo* busy that they needed the table space? I think not. As for the decor, it didn't seem that old.... there's been some wear and tear. Obviously, it has a little rougher life when it's a saloon instead of a bistro. Honestly, the best part about this place? Free parking downtown. Maybe this is a great place to listen to live music and drink beer, but stay away from the food... stay far away. My bowels still hate me after eating this stuff.
