Friendly bar/restaurant. A few TVs. Decent food. It looks like a good sized menu but is really just several variations on the same things. Service was friendly. Definitely a good choice to get off the road for a little bit. Accessibility: you must go in the front door. read more

The food is always good! The wait staff is always nice! The restaurant and bar are always clean! Usually we get takeout and take it home! read more

Walked in expecting a juicy, hand-crafted burger. Walked out feeling like I just paid gourmet prices for something I could've pulled out of the freezer section at Walmart. The patty was so obviously frozen it should've come with frostbite warnings. You know that flavorless, spongy texture that screams "mass-produced mystery meat"? Yeah, that was my lunch. I half expected to hear the ding! of a microwave from the kitchen. Honestly, if I wanted a hockey puck, I'd have gone to Dick's Sporting Goods. At least there I'd get something durable. The bun was fine, the toppings were trying their best, but no amount of lettuce or sauce can save a burger that tastes like it's been hibernating since last winter. Save your money. Save your taste buds. If you're craving frozen patties, you can make six at home for the price of one here--AND you'll get to keep your dignity. read more

This place has solid pub/bar food. You're probably not gonna find your next favorite dish but you'll eat a good sandwich/burger. The atmosphere is fun and the staff were great. For wheelchair accessibility, there were a few obstructions on the ramp however when those were brought to the notice of the staff, they immediately started to rectify the situation, which was really refreshing. The bathroom doors are light and they're big enough that you can turn around without a problem There is a gender neutral bathroom, and they're all single stall. read more

Very delicious food. I order pick up and it is always a 10/10 experience. Amazing burgers for sure.

Went to this so-called "burger joint" last night, and wow--never again. The patties were clearly frozen, probably straight out of a cheap grocery bag. Dry, gray, and rubbery like something you'd find in a middle school cafeteria. The bun was stale, lettuce wilted, and the whole thing reeked of laziness. How are you charging real money for this? If I wanted a sad microwave meal, I could've stayed home. Do better. Seriously, frozen burger patties? Gross. read more

Great service, food and beer We drive quiet a ways during a storm and would do it again We definitely recommend this business read more

Kelcee was great, welcoming and friendly. Her personality was bubbly and fun. The food was awesome. The atmosphere was fun and busy. The whole staff pulled together to make ours and everyone's experience memorable. read more

Hootenannies - Pork Chop - Sports Bars Near Me - Sterling, Colorado

Decent eatery/bar. A dedicated bar area and a dedicated restaurant part too, didn't see the patio. Food is passable for something a bit better than average fried bar food options. "Smoked Brisket" was not brisket or smoked/BBQed, it was sliced up beef with BBQ sauce added. Has several TVs with satellite feeds, one of which was playing rodeos from the Cowboy Channel so thats a plus. Not a lot in town so it gets 4 stars any other town it would get 3. read more

Been traveling through here every couple weeks. Most times great. Tonight, not so much. Bartender no eye contact. Sat there 15 mintues prior to even asking for our drink order. Then another 20 minutes to put in food order. Bartender was way over-run with orders. Seems she needs some assistance. Food order was incorrect and overcooked. We come from a restaurant family. We get it. But, hope Friday service improves. Nice staff but... read more

Hot and flies. My wings not great. My kids liked the burger and the strawberry lemonade

Has one best burger in Sterling and their staff is pretty decent are pretty decent people.

I am so glad I picked this place to grab a burger and fries not to mention a cold beverage. The service was outstanding Jessica/ Jess and Trevor were very pleasant and friendly. I had the Ultimate Burgers and it blew me away sooooo tasty and the presentation of the food . I highly recommend this place. read more

New to town. Opening a business in Sterling. First place I've been to that I can honestly say they could have cared less if they had my business or not. I got there at 855pm on Sunday and there was one other Patron in the restaurant besides me. The staff seemed more inconvenienced that I was there instead of making me feel welcome. I left and went to McDonald's. Doubt I will be back. read more

Food was good and the service was amazing Jordan B. Was my server and he was amazing!

Road trip to Denver for overnight in Sterling. Local gas station suggested Hootenannies for a bite. Awesome place. Mushroom appetizer was perfect along with a couple refreshments for us. Would definitely return. read more

I went to Hootenannies tonight for the first time since we just moved here. The service and food was exceptional! Jessica, the manager, was beyond great and really knows what she's doing. Considering all the changes and craziness of Covid 19, I felt like life was a little normal again. The restaurant was prepared, clean and ready to serve. We will definitely be back. Thank you staff. read more

On the road, we stopped in to catch a game. The game was terrible, but the experience was great. I think our server is an owner, because of the way she kinda 'interviewed' us to make the best recommendation for us each. And well-done! We both enjoyed our meals greatly. The atmosphere is exactly what you would want and expect in Sterling. Definitely going back! read more

If you want to see how NOT to run a bar/restaurant, come here. The food is all frozen and half-assed. The waitresses don't make eye contact and don't know the products they are selling. Instead of checking on your table they would rather do shots with a table adjacent from you. And when they ask, "how's everything?" They time and walk away before you can answer. read more

Just staying the night off the interstate while we were traveling home from vacation. Took my wife and kids here cause nothing else was open in town. Food was "ok"....Seems like a nice lil bar if you wanted to stop for drinks. Our waitress seemed nice but the rest of the staff seemed to be talking shit behind the bar. Maybe because we were "out-of-towners" who knows. I'd have to say if we came through town again we wouldn't come to this place again. read more

Great food and cold beers always nice staff best burgers in town I would recommend this place to anyone that likes bar and grills

Everything I've ate at this place is amazing!! Not had anything bad from here by far the best place to eat in this town! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I went here for lunch today with a friend, and the food was excellent! One of the best steak sandwiches I've ever had, and I appreciated having a variety of side options, outside of the usual, French fries. read more

I was hesitant after reading the other reviews, but decided to stop and give this place a try on my way through town as I was waiting out a nasty looking storm. When I pulled up to the restaurant, there was an alarming amount of smoke coming from the outdoor grill/pit area. Two of the staff members were battling a fire that had gotten out of control on the cooking area. By the time I got off my bike and all my gear put away, the fire had been tamed, but whatever piece of meat (chicken?) was torched. Surprisingly, this event did not sway me to a change of heart and I walked into the restaurant. I seated myself as no one seemed to be playing a host or hostess and no one rushed over to direct me to a table. That's fine, it was mid-afternoon on a Sunday and there was only one other table of patrons. The server/bartender quickly brought me a menu and took my order. She suggested the pulled pork sandwich and I took her up on it with a side of onion rings. She was prompt at bringing my beverage and my food arrived very shortly. I ordered it with the "spicy" bbq sauce. The onion rings seemed to be the typical frozen variety most restaurants serve, but were cooked well and had a nice crisp to them, but they were nothing special. The pulled pork sandwich came with a generous mound of pork that had a very nice smoke to it. The meat was cooked perfectly and was still very moist. The bun it was served on was fresh and held up to the heft of the meat. The sauce was decent, though it was far from spicy. It did have a nice tang, likely from vinegar. The meal was very filling and hit the spot. Overall, it was a surprisingly present experience, given the reviews I read and the debacle with the grill when I pulled up. If I find myself needing a meal in Sterling again, I won't hesitate to stop here to try other options. read more

Sat at the bar, bartender was very nice and attentive. Food was OK, I had fish and chips, normal bar food, nothing spectacular, next time I will probably go elsewhere just because the food could have been better. read more

We had a great night with an amazing server. Thanks Becca we will be back. You did a great job.

Great place to Relax with a burger and drink. Sunday afternoon stop on a road trip in the country. Good service casual lay back place.

The service was almost non-existent. The food was great. Best burger around. Will definitely be back

This is my favorite place to eat in Sterling, Colorado. The customer service is excellent, the prices are very affordable and you get a lot of food. I always get steak when I go there and I have to give them credit. I have eaten at some of the finest steak houses around the country and the steaks at Hootenannies ranks right up there with the best of them. The last steak that I had was so tender, I was able to cut it with a butter knife. We will continue to go to Hootenannies as often as possible. read more

This place is awesome. If you love a great dive with great food and service this is the place to come. Driving across the USA with my Australian mates. Love it! read more

The staff is awesome. We inundated them with 30 people and they did a great job! Would not only recommend them but thank them for a great time! read more

The food smells amazing but I wouldn't know about how the food or drink actually tastes. We waited for a waitress for 45 minutes on a dead night; she refused to acknowledge our existence. We left and she didn't even noticed. Starving we went the the Bistro 15 minutes before closing and we still had full menu options. Just go to the Bistro. read more

I don't think this place gets enough credit..great BBQ and everything you order is delicious. Service is good too. Thanks for a fun night.

Good food, plenty of amberbock. Amazing staff and enormous patio. Worth a break down to end up here!

The food is fabulous however the service is horrible. The iPads don't work... QUIT USING THEM. We ordered two bacon burgers and what came out wasn't even remotely close to what we wanted. This isn't the first time we've had the wrong order delivered to us. Come on!! Hire competent waitresses. read more

Great food, as always! Unfortunately, the service is nonexistent. Waited to order, waited to pay, finally got up to pay at the bar and waited longer...very frustrating. All the while, the owner was glued to his cell phone and not caring that the customers weren't being served. We won't be back, which is disappointing because it had been one of our favorite places in Sterling. read more

Really interesting and seemingly quality bar food. Wish they had more stuff on tap, but a Guinness fan so I can cope. A little on the small side. If you're looking for a cozy little sports bar with some pretty decent boob tubes, you could definitely do worse. read more
