Not the WORST food I've ever had. But very much like a grade school cafeteria. The "worlds beat burger" offers greasy, cheap, nasty Walmart grade buns, and undercooked fries. The jalapeño poppers are premade and utterly lacking in flavor. Service was pretty prompt, but the waitress could not tell me anything about a beer when I asked. I ordered a Midwest premium, only to find out it is another "beer" best suites to high school girls trying to get drunk for the first time. It is a divey bar for sure, and I give it 3 stars, since some of these actually have worse food than this place. read more

Nope! OK beer and service. It's a bar and RESTAURANT - didn't eat the food but describing the men's room using the word "stench" is to vastly over rate it...out of paper towels and the hand dryer didn't work. That's fine in a dive bar but not where food us served...I assume employees use it too. No plans to return with a few other nearby options available. read more

We came in to this establishment yesterday because the menu posted outside listed a perch sandwich. When we entered, we waited a couple minutes before I was able to attract someone's attention so we could be seated. When we got our menus, the perch had been crossed off, even though it had not been removed from the outside menu. We had already ordered drinks at that point, so my mother decided we would just pay for the drinks and leave, since we were really not impressed by the rest of the menu. The waitress was extremely confused by her request, and my mom had to repeat herself a couple times before she seemed to understand. We paid for the drinks, except for mine, which she had forgotten, and went to eat at Angler's instead. Altogether unsatisfactory experience. Dumpy interior, poor service, poor menu. read more

Prime location...but, no making up for fries burnt beyond recognition and cold fish during the "fish fry special" that didn't come with everything stated in the description. Service was fine, but wow was the food beyond terrible. read more

Great cheese curds, good selection of cold beer, and fast friendly service. Good local sports bar.

This place is nasty, do not eat here. My daughter ordered cheese fries and she got cheese pizza with no sauce. Then they insisted that that is what cheese fries are... cheese pizza and cheese fries are the same thing...the menu literally said "cheesy fries." The Italian beef is just a lot of cheese-whiz on a hotdog bun with some "meat" shavings mixed in. The bagged lays potato chips were decent though. read more

Nice atmosphere, so-so food-- lousy service! Our waitress walked away from us multiple times while we were ordering. It wasn't that busy and we waited forever for some BLT's. We had to go up to the bar to get our own beers. The bathrooms were nasty as hell too! In the end she bought us 2 drinks (for a party of 3) and we left our half eaten/ dry BLT's. Can see coming here for drinks.. Hayward has some hidden food gems-- BUT this isn't one! read more

I'd like to rate the food but we waited for 20 minutes and never could get a waitress to acknowledge our existence. Started noticing a few not very happy people sitting around us, so we got up and got the Hell out of there. This was at 1:30 on a weekday, they need to get it together. read more

Don't get me wrong, it can be a fun bar on the weekends with live music but this place needs to get their shit together when it comes to waitress service. I only ate here once with my sister, told the waitress I was in a bit of a time crunch and ordered a simple salad... It took over an hour before I was told she forgot to put our order in, I missed my appointment. Our waitress didn't bother to check back for refills once, mind you we were outside on the patio on an 80-90 degree day... I hear similar things from everyone. I don't know. There's potential, but they really need to work on things.. read more

Ran out of cheese curds in Wisconsin, got out onion rings right away, and then We've been waiting 25 minutes for breadsticks. Wtf???

The place is only a couple of months old and I hope it improves so there is another option to Anglers on Main St. I have been there twice once in the second week they opened. We cheese curds which were cooked fine. My son had a hot dog which was large but came on a huge hoggie bun which was stale. I had the Italian beef which had nice flavor but was sliced way to thick. Once again the bun was stale. Seems like easy issues to fix. Recently went again and it was actually worse. Received our cheese curds and then no sight of the food after another 45 minutes the wait staff came by and apologized that they were having problems in the kitchen. Another 10 minutes later and we received our food. Chicken wings fried to the point of jerky, chicken sandwich overcooked and dry. Burger which was supposed to be Medium-Rare well done and tasted like a hockey puck. After that wait there was no reason for our food to be cooked this bad. On a positive note the French Fries were good. Other side notes. If you want families to come have working high-chairs. They had two both were dirty and had no functioning safety belt. If you kitchen staff can't get there act together I don't want to see them out smoking on the patio where my family and I are eating. Why in the world does anyone want to sit outside and eat on a patio when the workers come out and smoke. To end on a positive the bartenders Ted and Tim are good I just hope the customers don't give up on the place. I know they have one more chance with my family and I and if they don't get there act together I will spend my hard earned money at Anglers. read more

I wish that I could give this restaurant less stars...A group of nine of us met there for lunch. They were very friendly and accomodating, but that's where the good experience ended. The drinks came as ordered. The service was slow and the waitress made a lot of mistakes. One person received their food, which was a toasted sandwich with toast that was very dark brown and extremely hard. Eventually the other food came out, except for one order, which for some reason hadn't made it to the kitchen. Her food came out after everyone else was done eating. The waitress also kept forgetting to bring new toast out for my friend's sandwich. The burgers looked like a 1/8 lb burger from a happy meal with a huge bun. The burgers were definitely smaller than advertised. I would never eat here again, or recommend this restaurant to anyone. I think they should sell and allow someone to open a restaurant that would add to the downtown Hayward experience. How are they still in business? Also, read the reviews that yelp for some reason didn't post (currently "not recommended"). They are all one stars... read more

We waited over 45 minutes and our food didn't come. We never saw our waitress again after ordering. No checking on our drinks or explaining what was taking so long. We even saw a waitress eating fries out of baskets that were waiting to go out to tables. When we arrived we were one of two tables in our area although there were people seated at other tables in other areas but they were far from busy. By the time left all tables were full with a lot of people looking for food or waiting to order. We left before our food came although we have never done this before. Frustrating experience. read more

not even sure it should get a star except food came out fast but under cooked fries bad service...when we walked in tables were dirty...bathrooms Men's and Women's were disgusting out of soap and paper towels besides dirty and don't even look up at the ceiling fans, saving grace was they weren't on. read more

I we will never go to this place again. When we were seated, we were told the patio was full so we could sit inside, which wasn't a problem since it was warm out. Our waitress took our drink order, brought our drinks and took our lunch order, which included an app. There was 4 of us and their menu is just burgers, sandwiches and salads...nothing too complicated. After our order was placed, the waitress never came back. There seemed to be 3 waitresses working that day, 1 bar tender and a guy who seemed to be in charge. After 45 mins of waiting, in which time we saw 1 waitress having time to sit and roll silverware, we stopped another waitress to ask "what gives?". She said she'd go check on our order. NEVER came back. So that was it and went the "man in charge". He told me the wait was 45 mins and that our food should be coming. Cranky waitress (not our original waitress) that we asked to check on our food was standing right there and said she checked on it. I asked why she never thought to come back and tell us the status. At that point we were done and just wanted our bar bill to leave. "Man in charge" told her to go check on it and I told her to cancel it or trash it because there was no way were staying. A couple minutes later she came to our table and asked "is this what you ordered?" showing me the ticket. Now if she had checked on it, don't you think she would know this? We said yes and we were done with this place and just wanted the bar bill to leave. We probably should have just walked and they could shove their 2 tap beers, 1 soda and 1 water. But she ended up charging us $5.50 for those items, we threw money on table and left...FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, and for the record, I went to the ladies room and checked this "full" patio and back dining room. Only 4 tables filled of maybe 10 or so out back and a couple in the back dining room. read more

When we arrived we were seated immediately at a table next to a open door with a cold breeze and a wall with insulation showing through the wood. Then listened to our waitress argue with another waitress over who had what tables covered. Then our waitress took our drink order and as she filled our drinks told us our food would take a while and we should feel free to go behind the mini bar and give ourselves refills whenever we wanted because our food would take a long time. The room filled. Over the next hour and a half while we waited for our pizza and daughters chicken tenders meal 5 large groups of people came in, were seated and left after about 10 minutes of waiting for service or being told their food would take long they all left. We then had to ask how long our daughters meal would be and the waitress told us she would tell the cook to put it in right away. It came to the table about 15 minutes later and our pizza followed 10 minutes after. The pizza was not very good and the experience was terrible. I would rather have stayed home and made a Jacks pizza. I do not suggest visiting this restaurant. read more
