I LOVED Hardtimes! LOVED THEM. I haven't been back in years but this will be my last! It's a shame Bob and Edith's dinner's booth was too small to accommodate my niece's car seat otherwise we could have dined there. I am writing my review as I sit here counting the seconds until my sister finishes so I can leave this horrid place. First, the hostess didn't even acknowledge us when we entered. What happened to the cheerful welcomes? It's probably because she's too busy facing the cooks instead of the door. I've been watching her for an hour, she just keeps facing the pool hall door. In fact, all of the females working in the front area keep sitting at the to go bar area facing the bar instead of the customers. The one with the hat is on her phone. Our waiter has barely been to our table. He came by once to make his service better by offering us napkins, which we declined, because if he had bothered to look at our table, we had A LOT. I had ordered milk for my son, but he never received it. I had to ask the food runner for it after my wings came out just to be informed that y'all were out of milk. That's fine. But why wouldn't he waiter have told me 15 minutes ago? I got juice instead and the waiter came out 10 minutes later to see if I had gotten any milk. This would be 30 minutes into the meal. At one point I tried to get his attention when he came back from the pool hall, I was unsuccessful because he was also on his phone while walking. All our fried food was over cooked. The rest were fine. How do you mess up noodles and sauce anyways? See my pictures of the hostesses paying attention, especially when customers come in. They don't even turn around. read more

Chili and chili Mac we're on point, as always. We got the Texas tenders also. Unfortunately we each took a bite and didn't eat anymore of them. They tasted like they were cooked in really dirty old grease. read more

Wow, I cannot believe this location(Springfield Va) is still open. My husband and I used to really love the one in Arlington, it have moved closer to this one, which is ALWAYS a disappointment . When you walk in it REEKS of cigarette smoke. (They allow smoking in the billiard area, which is only separated from the dining room by swinging double doors) We ordered dinner last night to pick up (as we know how it smells in there) and even though there was only 1 table occupied and was otherwise completely empty, the staff acted burdened by our existence. Thankfully I checked our bag, as half of our order was missing (we have a family of 4 so it was only 4 meals) and they were annoyed that I had pointed this out, giving a throw away apology. When we got the food home, there were still mistakes in the order (like we got a chili dog instead of a coney dog, etc) the chili was incredibly dry and clumpy. The cornbread was also dry. We'll never be back. So sad, we used to really love Hard Times. read more

Everyone was enjoying their meal until a roach ran past us as we ate our meal. Have always been a fan of Hard Times except it seems like the place is just neglected. Love the 4 way chili mac but we won't be going back unless this place gets cleaned up. read more

The three if s snuck out of work early o com in very here for some good food and beer. When we came in t around 4pm there were probably only three other groups of people sitting down and eating. That being said, we were able o be seated in no time flat. We started out with chili nachos and a round of Coronas for everyone. The music was chill, the restaurant was clean, and our Server was really nice and helpful. The four of us had a great time with great conversation. I ordered the 3 chicken taco meal, that came with french fries. One person got wings, and the other two were content with the beers. The tacos tastes really good, and I was pretty much set for the rest of the evening. This is definitely my kind of place, and I'm pretty sure they had me in mind when they created this restaurant. read more

How unfortunate I have to write a review like this, all because of one person's stupid mistake. Oh well I hope they learn their lesson. We went to celebrate my friend's birthday on Sunday Feb. 15th. She ordered food and when it came out she noticed there was an extra ingredient. Look closely at the picture below. THERE WAS ACTUALLY A CIGARETTE BUTT! Eek! Methinks not! Someone actually smoked a cigarette and accidentally tossed it in one of our dishes! How does this happen? After asking for the manager and staff, they all took a look at it and instead of apologizing, we were told "None of our employees smoke." ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Never again Hard Times Cafe I truly hate writing reviews like this. read more

Hard Times Cafe - Can you see it? - American Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

Decent Springfield watering hole When my hubby's main waitress if not working Wing Night at the H.T. FFX location, he defaults to his #2 waitress at Springfield. Personally, I prefer the H.T. Springfield's Inferno Wings to FFX. It's weird, you'd think that the wings would be the same at all the Hard Times locations, but they're not. The sauce is thicker, coats the wings better, and makes my taste buds sing. Also, the bussing staff at Springfield is on point. They don't let dirty plates, ash trays, empty cups linger... quite the opposite from FFX where it seems that the servers do all the bussing. Oh, and smokers can actually smoke inside at this location. I'm not a smoker- However, if you come here, you'll leave reeking for cigarettes. read more

Hard Times Cafe - Smoking bar - American Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

Of course I would go to DC and eat Texas style chili. Lets start w/ the actual restaurant. It looked more like a sports bar, w/ a Texas twist, than a restaurant. Theres also a pool hall in back. We sat at the actual bar, sometimes its safer. The server/cook we had was great. He told me about the chili sampler and was very helpful. I decided on the Texas chili (really, the only way to go), and stole a few of my husbands Old Bay wings. The chili was great. Really, really good. Hot, homey, and spicy. The cornbread was decent as well. The wings were not delicious. We had them grilled and the skin and seasoning was soggy. They also tasted old. Hoping this was just a "this location" thing cuz all I hear about Hard Times is that their wings are great. So far, not so much. Im not sure we'll be returning to this particular location. read more

Hard Times Cafe - Chili sampler - American Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

This is my first bad review, I hope my last. I ordered the steak bites and the tatters. 1- The order took longer than expected after asking for it, finally came. 2- The steak was cold, on top it was overcooked (due that was on the window for some time) 3- The steak was $8.49...CRAZY!! for what I got. I have got better service and food in a $5.00 happy hour on other places. 3- The tatters were cold in the center and a little undercooked. -The server knew about my disappointment, they did nothing about it. -I asked around people agreed their food and service is not good except when they serve you alcohol...only then the service is good and quick. ***Please note this is a smoking place*** I don't smoke but I think they should divide the place. I will not come back...sorry. read more

This is the location that has the pool tables on the second floor, which is a plus for my pool-playing friends. I've been to this branch lots of times for lunch, and went there for lunch today. We tend to hit this location while we're in the area anyway, running errands. This location is way less cramped than the Old Town one. The waitstaff is friendly and fast, though some seem like newbies, like the one we had today. I also appreciate that this branch consistently gives you a FULL bowl of chili when you get just the bowl. Anyway, I've had lots of things here in the past: wings, chili bowls, chilichangas, chili bubbas (ha!), three-ways (double ha!), fries, etc. and all have been oh-so-bad-for-you, but so good at the same time. Today, my co-worker decided to start it off with some bacon cheese fries. What? There was no way I was going to eat that, or so I thought. They were what you'd expect. The fries were fresh with the skins on, the cheese was good, and the bacon - who doesn't like bacon? Out of four people, I think I had the most. Oops. Of course, I didn't bypass the cornbread which I love at Hard Times. I also decided on my regular staple of vegetarian chili with fresh tomatoes and jalapenos, which was DELISH as always. I love, love, love their vegetarian chili and it's spiciness! All-in-all, everything hit the spot. Yes, I will be back again. read more

If you don't mind the smell of smoke (yep-in the restaurant too, even though it's a separate area) then this Hard Times isn't bad. I prefer a non-smoking bar, but I appreciate all the fans they have constantly moving the air trying to combat the stagnant smell. We were here for a fight night and they charged a $5 cover which seems pretty standard of the area. The food is on par with the other Hard Times' I have been to, so they are brand consistent, and the service was very good. read more

Hidden behind the big box KMART is a cool bar with great appetizers and drink specials. My better half and I often come out here late night to soak up some bar fly atmosphere. The staff is always friendly, the food is greasy(as expected), and the crowd is typical bar crowd. There is pool in the back and the very large bar. read more

This place had some awesome food! I got a burger, wings, and fried oreos. It was just a great place to ho to pig out on fattening food and leave happy without any regrets. The burger was tasty- I got the Whiskey River BBQ Bacon Burger and it came with an order of fries. The burger was so tasty and flavorful and you have to try their pepper vinegar! This thing made my fries taste a million times better! I even put the vinegar on my burger because I was so obsessed with it... Haha... I love vinegary things, so that might explain my obsession. I also got the honey bbq wings, which were good! I loved hoe they were grilled because it was slightly charred and wasn't oily at all. I loved how the honey bbq had a slightly sweet tang to it. I also asked the waitress for a sample of all their chili and she came to out table with a sample of all four of the chili for us to try. I dipped them with the crackers and all of the flavors tasted great. My favorite chili flavor was the vegetarian one- make sure you asked them for the samples of chili! The fried oreo was good and we got a scoop of vanilla ice cream to make it even better. They had great service and great food. This is an awesome place to eat! read more

We have been to other Hard Times and enjoyed them. This was the first time at the Hard Times in Springfield. Everything looked clean, everyone was wearing their masks and gloves. And it was great to see someone was actually cooking at a grill instead of just warming up the Cisco prepared food. The food looked great and smelled delicious. I wanted to have just a cup of chili instead of a bowl. I look forward to returning. Next time I'll be sure to bring my appetite. We wanted to check the back and maybe play some pool. I didn't know that they allow smoking there, what a shock, and then quickly left the back read more

First time customer and have to say not great quality . Ordered fish tacos that were small portions of frozen fried fish . Ordered grilled chili wings that were very disappointing with taste . Macaroni triangles were a bust . Swore it came with this specialty sauce . (Ranch ) Menu sells it like it's this specialty but basically pre made frozen and deep fried to order . Honestly very disappointed read more

Food was beyond great. Overall vibes in the place was outstanding. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE! I would come here everyday of the week if I could! Big shout out to Kelsey, Kelly, and Paige! THEY ARE AWESOME AND DESERVE A RAISE ASAP! read more

I am going through all of the places I checked in and another Hard Times came up. Hard Times is a great place for an easy meal. This place has a front-end for dining and a back-end for pool and drinks. I think it is awesome. The food is good and the service is good. No complaints on the food or atmosphere. The back area is the pool hall. Really awesome. They allow smoking in the pool hall. I think it is awesome and I am not a smoker. They are tailored for their audience and it is always busy. The only thing I would change about the place is to relocate or add additional bathrooms in the main eating area to prevent the stroll through the smoking lounge. Just a recommendation. read more

I was in the area and wanted a bit of nostalgia especially in these time of uncertainty. Upon entering, I was greeted quickly. The waitress appeared to be covering the front part of the dining room. She brought a disposable menu and too my drink order. Upon her return, I ordered the Chili Bubba with Texas and Terlingua with a side of jalapeños. The portion size was quite generous - lots of chili topped with a huge portion of cheese and sour cream. The bowl was so full that i forgot that corn bread was at the bottom! The chili was excellent - flavorful and thankfully not spicy hot for the sake of just being hot. The jalapeños were finely chopped and added more flavor that heat to the mix. I ended up taking a fair amount home because it's that large a serving! My waitress was kind enough to offer a to-go cup for my iced tea which was much appreciated. I'll be back whenever I'm on town. read more

If you don't give this place 5 stars, then this just isn't YOUR PLACE. This place has zero pretentiousness. Its not catering to anyone but the average joe. The food is cheap, and good, the beer is cold, and if you dont like the smell of smoke, hipster douchebag, take it somewhere else. But if you dont need a safe space, come on down and get a tall hard times lager, not miller lite or pbr or modelo, a southern fried chicken sandwich 'texas style', and stfu. Your welcome. Oh, you got a light? Of course you don't you filthy animal... read more

We stopped in yesterday for a quick bowl of chili and saw that they had a weekend buffet. Took a look and decided to be try it out. Great breakfast items, sausage gravy and biscuits to waffles and French toast. The chili dogs were icing on the cake. Service and staff were outstanding and know we will be back. read more

Always solid. Like the chili mac. Onion rings are good. Prefer veggie and cincy chilis. Friendly staff and good service.

I love their chili. At all the restaurants in the Hard Times Cafe chain - you can not go wrong. I especially love their Cincinnati Chili. The Springfield location is closest to my house. The staff is always very friendly and like I said, food is always good. Don't expect a bright cheery place - it's very dark and loud inside. Even in the restaurant part. My only issue (other than my Chili Dog today had very little chili on it) is the Pool Hall portion of the restaurant. Wouldn't be a problem if I didn't have to walk through it to get to the restrooms. It is always VERY loud and smoky - even when I'm there with my daughter for lunch. I wish this location had restrooms in the non-smoking part of the restaurant so I wouldn't have to gag with my kids as I take them to potty. In the future, when I take my kids, I will probably stick to the Arlington, Alexandria or Fairfax locations. read more

Work across the street from this venue, and I send alot of people there when they can't get admission to my job (dress code, someone is under 21, etc etc) I'd never actually been there before, so on the night of August, Friday 18th, I decided to take a look since I was miraculously off, and really didn't have plans. It was about 12:30 am, there was a decent sized crowd spread throughout the billiards area and the actual bar (about 25 people) I sat at the bar and ordered a Coors light draft, it was $6.10, I paid $8.00 cash and gave the change as tip. I watched reruns of the Seahawks v Vikings pre-season game (20 to 6 in the fourth quarter), and the Padres v Nationals game (don't recall the score). After about 15 minutes, I ordered a Jameson on the rocks, it was $8.20, I payed $10 cash, and left the tip as change. The only time I got up was just after ordering my Jameson, I attempted to put several different dollar bills in the "boxing" machine, but it was out of order. I then walked to the other end of the place and saw the "cafe" portion, I was impressed by the high cielings, and rustic wood furnishing. I sat back down at the same spot at the bar, and after about 10 minutes attempted to order another Jameson, however the only bartender said he no longer wished to serve me. "Why?" I asked "Because you look intoxicated" he said "How'd you decide that?" I asked "I don't know...you seem intoxicated, I'm not gona serve you." - he said Stunned, but really being over the place anyway, I got up to leave. As I approached the door though, I turned around and returned to the bar. When the bartender saw me again, I made firm eye contact, and asked "Whats your name sir, for my Google review" he replied "My name is asshole". A few customers laughed, but a few also fell silent from their conversations, and looked at me. "That's what you want me to say your name is?" I asked again He smiled arrogantly "Yeap, that's what everyone calls me." ----------- When I got home I called the venue, and spoke to the manager "Debby". I explained to her what happened, and that I was utterly confused as to not only how the bartender arrived at my being "too intoxicated" to serve, but also refusing to give me his first name, after exercising his mighty authority. I also explained to her that while I don't see life through those lens, that perhaps it had something to do with me being a young black male (I was dressed in a black T shirt and blue jeans? Maybe I scared him?) She responded by telling that the bartender's name is "Jean", that he's apparently "French", and that she's an African-American woman, and recommended I call the next day and speak to "Tony Campbell", the GM. But that was all she could say at the moment. -------- I told myself I would, but I decided not to bother calling, will obviously never return to "Hard Times Cafe", and will never recommend it to anyone in my local area, as well as the customers of the night club I work at (literally across the street, I work security lol) This happened the week after "Charlottesville", and it's been a weird week. I'm not going to assume. But what other reason was there? Racist Bartender. read more

If you like cigarette & cigar smoke, this is your joint. The dining room is old and dirty. Place feels like the staff doesn't give a damn. Food is ok. Was much better when the founders worked in the kitchen of the Old Town joint. My advice is avoid this location. read more

1 Star for visit 7/16/19. So HTC is promoting Taco Tuesday every Tuesday in July. Take it from me. Go somewhere else for Taco's! The 2$ off was not worth the $8 I paid for my meal! Highly disappointed in the food quality, service, and on site manager! This is the worst visit I have ever experienced at this location?! The taco's barely had any meat, or trimmings? The Texas chili (my fav) did not even taste the same? Usually the taco's are overflowing, and tasty? I am not sure what has changed here, but they were definitely off their game today?! We called our server over and expressed our dislike with our food. She then sent the manager over, who in turn, made a lame attempt to compensate by going in the kitchen and dishing up extra chili for our taco's! WTH? She should have apologized, then made us fresh tacos?! I will not be returning anytime soon. Definitely not worth my effort! read more

The reviews were good and we were super glad that they open late. Went here for a late dinner (last night) because we've been traveling all day. We ordered the kids cheeseburger fries milk, my hubby and I shared the appetizer: steak bites and the honey BBQ wings, we also shared the 5-way chili mac with terlingua chili..our drinks: child got milk, I got strawberry Rita (it wasn't good at all-I ended up drinking coronas), hubby got sweet water IPA (drink #1) & hogwash (drink #2-bartenders choice). Our drinks came first (of course) although we waited almost 30min for our food. The restaurant wasn't crowded at all (3 parties including ourselves) so we were a bit confused on why our food took so long. (Maybe the soccer game on tv caught the employees full attention). The waitress did her best but she forgot some stuff like our beer and our takeout plates when asked for multiple times, other than that she was very helpful with what to order on the menu (since we never been there before). Btw: they have a bar towards the back of the restaurant (separated), If interested in going there for drinks. When we got our food it was AWESOME! And when I say awesome I mean like really good!!!! Everything was good that we ordered!!!!! Everyyhythiiingggg!!!!!! I would love to go back but not when we are all cranky to eat lol. read more

Caveat: My favorite "Hard Times" location is King Street. There, I said it. Went here this past Friday, and surprisingly, got seated right away. When the waitress came to check on the first time I put in the kids' orders right away (under 4's do not deal with kitchen delays well). Their food came out within minutes and at that point, hubster and I went ahead and ordered (the Texas Chicken Sandwich for hubs, 3 way Terilingua for me). It was at that point that things went..a little wrong. For whatever reason , it took about 10 minutes for mine and hubs entrees to come out. Maybe the waitress thought they had been brought out with the kids' food. Maybe the kitchen got bogged down. Who knows. Extra point for the manager checking on us and making things right. And giving our little man a balloon. read more

I've been here to hang out at the bar, play pool, and also to sit down for dinner. They are definitely known for their variations of wings and chili- go ahead and try them, no one I know has been disappointed. If you're going to play pool, order some cheap beers, a few appetizers, and play away. It's got a really relaxed vibe, and unless you're a total Debbie Downer, you'll probably get at least a little enjoyment out of this place. You can also sit at tables and grab a few drinks and watch a game on one of the screens. There's also a jukebox- just be willing to wait a while to hear your song. There are always tons of different people at the bar- and of course, some people that seem like total regulars (and you see when you go there your first time... and then again months later). Go with friends for some laid back fun, food, and drinks. read more

I love hardtimes. Especially the Chicken Alamo. It is my go to dish here. I usually have to share it with someone because the portion is so big. Either that or you can ask them to pack half of ut for you to go. Their appetizers are ok too. We've tried the fish and chips, the wing platters, cheese fries and nachos are HUGE. If you ask they will bring you a sampling of all the chili's and corn bread. The corn bread is good. Our servers are always pleasant and efficient. They have a decent amount of foods if you can't decide. It's America fare with a slight Texan twist. Prices are reasonable in regards to portion sizes. read more

Good spot for Cincinnati chili, pool, and heartburn if you're into that sort of thing. The place is pretty large and has plenty of TVs, so I've found myself there on occasion to eat and watch a game. If you go at night, the parking lot can get a bit rowdy with all of the Springfield denizens coming with bikes or piped out cars. They keep to themselves but it's still a loitering mob. read more

nothing spectacular.... located in a strip mall... I didn't have a hard time eating -- daily specials on weeknights.. Monday is any burger for $6.99 .. and half price bottles of wine... any bottle... so with my bacon cheeseburger and my glass of malbec... there I sat.... -- however I did have a hard time getting a clean wine glass... and a hard time. getting more napkins and an extra plate... ... not to mention a hard time breathing in the smoke filled bar.. that lingered over to the dining room... so it seems like they have tons of drink specials, if you don't mind the secondhand toxins... definitely won't be back... pretty unremarkable. read more

I feel like I say this a lot, but when you're so drunk, you kinda just don't care where the eff you are and have fun no matter what. Came here on a Thursday night, and it was pretty hoppin'. This sounds messed up, but I think of this spot as a place where you might wanna bring a cheap date and not give a shit about how you look or what people think of you. I like the dive atmosphere and the bartenders were pretty friendly. Biiiig plus for having Dogfish Head, my fav. Plenty of pool tables and other fun stuff to keep you busy. And they had karaoke! Alright I pretty much rarely ever do it, but like I said, when you're drunk...you know. I didn't think this is the type of place to get hit on, but dudes might get a little creeptastic towards the end of the night. Usually will leave you alone if they see you're with people, but maybe not? I was blatantly with someone and this dude comes out of no where telling me how he wants to bang and show me things I've never seen before. I'm not sure what these things were, but I had to pee and didn't stick around long enough to find out. Anyways, I guess I'd probably come back, as long as I'm at least a little bit tipsy before I do. read more

Ok, so I love the Hard Times in Old Town, what could be better than Hard Times AND pool? That's right folks, the Hard Times Cafe in Springfield is also a pool joint. A friend recently moved to Springfield and we decided to use this as an excuse to check this place out. Who knew such a huge place could be unassumingly tucked into a strip mall off of I-95? Seriously, this place is huge! We were very warmly greeted by the hostess and the manager, and scored a seat for dinner almost immediately. My friend noticed the sign for $1.50 domestic bottles until 8:00pm. Yeah, we knew what we were drinking right away. (I also noticed that they had about 15 beers on tap - that was pretty impressive too!) As always, the food here is really great. While our server tried to entice us with one of the special summer wrap sandwiches, I stuck with what I know - veggie chili three way. YUM-O! We had our food so fast, I was afraid that it was cold or something. But it was hot and delicious. Where else can you have great food and a few beers for around $10? The only thing that detracted from this location (and why I take away one star) is that even up front in the restaurant section, the cigarette smoke was overwhelming. I think they need better ventilation. If you like Hard Times like I do, and enjoy pool, get over to this location pronto. The staff is super friendly, they have great specials (Free pool for ladies on Thursday nights), and of course, it's one of the best deals in town! read more

The atmosphere at this location isn't as nice as others but it's a Hard Times...this one smells like smoking used to be allowed. Food is good and service at the bar was good. The other wait staff also spent an inordinate amount of time chatting instead of working. read more

I really only go here for Caps (or Flyers...they're my favorite team but after living in VA for 16 years, I decided that rooting WITH the home team in ONE sport might be nice...doesn't hurt that DC has the greatest hockey player on earth locked up for all eternity) games. Just broke my own record for most words between a pair of parentheses. Yeah, so Hard Times does $1 domestic drafts on Tues/Thurs during NHL season. From 5pm to 9pm. And they also put out a free chilli and chips bar. Plus there's a newly remodeled bar with about 20 plasmas, featuring at least 2-4 of the available NHL games and then usually some 2nd-tier sport like NBA or college catfish noodling (actually, Noodling would be a 1st Tier sport in my book). All Hard Times restaurant/bars are generally good establishments. Jukeboxes that alternate between booty-rap and thrash-metal. Springfield clientele keeps the music aggressive...I usually hear a few old school Metallica and/or Deftones songs while I'm hear. That's a good thing. The beer selection is good (though Woodbridge actually has a better selection) and will offer you a few very off the wall drafts. The chilli is amazing. I got Texas style, hold the grease (they actually ADD a ladle of grease to the all-meat chilli), add jalapenos, onions, and cheddar cheese. Then I drown it in the red pepper/vinegar 'hot sauce' they have on the table tops. Good stuff. Clean 'ya out though... There are actually 2 separate pool playing zones and both feature ample table space. I've never played here, but there's always a rack of Asians and Latinos rockin' the tables. It does get quite packed during the 5-9pm period, especially during big hockey games. The neighborhood is fine. Sometimes it may appear mildly sketchy, but I've never seen anything (except one time...ok, maybe 2 times, but neither was that bad) bad happen here. Definitely my go-to hockey spot. Definitely not a place you need to look around before you light your cigarette. This'un is smoke-friendly. Again, that's a good thing. If I went out more often, maybe it'd be a go-to watering hole as well... read more

Kind of a weird restaurant and bar. The front has a smallish restaurant and the kitchen and is smoke free. The back is a huge pool hall and darts smoking bar. The clientele is not the best and not a nice atmosphere overall at all. Saving grace is the lack of other options in Springfield and the amazing chili. Can't beat their food in many areas for bar food. read more
