Double double burger

Love the mushroom burger, it is my staple here. On tap microbrews are also very good. Service is better at the bar, meh at the tables. It's a dive bar, but a good one. Also don't recommend the tall tables. Chairs are slippery! Hate having to keep trying to 'perch'. Overall good food at a reasonable price.

I have definitely been to a few "dive bars" and I would have to say this has to rank right up there with the best of them. Four of us showed up and fortunately 2 of us knew some of the people there. This is without a doubt a very local watering hole with a bunch, if not all locals. That being said I would not say that was a bad thing. It's kind of a small place and pretty much wall to wall or shoulder to shoulder. It certainly seemed as though everybody knew each other. There were 2 bartenders that that never had a chance to breath, because it was one drink after another. I don't know how, but we landed 4 seats at the bar to start and sat there for about an hour and then drifted to a table. While at the bar we had 3 appetizers. Onions rings, pepper jack fried cheese balls and my favorite fried chicken livers (very crispy and good). At the table we ordered "dinner". I had fried bologna!!!, and there were 2 cheese burgers and a chicken sandwich, no bread, with more onion rings and fries. Onion rings were right on, fries not so much. I think our order got lost because it took forever, which we did not mind. But after asking about the order it came right away.(that was OK). Would I go back? In a heartbeat with no hesitation and if you find it on Google maps you should go too.

Great local bar in Howard! Really enjoyed my hamburger and the laid back atmosphere. Cash only

Nice beer and sandwich selection. Burgers are great. Not normal bar fare everything done a bit above and beyond typical tavern stop.

Baked goods can be hit or miss - if it wasn't baked that morning it can be dry, but the next time you get mouth-watering excellence! You can eat either in the "Harry Potter Hall" with stunning architecture and wood-paneled ambiance or the light-filled sunroom with views. The staff and students are very welcoming!

Not stellar, but usually a good rotating variety of healthy meals; from my personal experience, they try to be super cognizant of dietary restrictions, so there's something for everyone. Highly recommend Grilled Cheese Monday (Texas toast, bright orange cheese slices and all) and the sweet potato fries. They have a surprising variety of aiolis that are delish. Good dessert section, too--the pumpkin bread and molasses cookies are must-tries. Can't speak to the goat tacos, but I've heard they're hyper-local (born and assassinated on Kenyon's very own farm). Piercegiving and Midnight Breakfast are most definitely the highlight of every Kenyon student's experience. The icecream tower (housed in a literal kiddie pool) most likely was vetoed post-Covid, but by god, it was excellent. The staff are super kind to students and work incredibly hard to keep Pierce running. They keep ingredients fresh and local--love that!!
