Worse than any bar food I've eaten
Slak B.

Rude staff and ownership. Food was mediocre - fries are basically burnt pieces of garbage. Beer was average. Nothing special from any of the other local craft beers.

My empty pint glass and I awaiting a break in the conversation.  Lol.  Took 10 minutes.

Aside from the ale and cheddar soup to food is terrible. the only thing worse than the food is the abhorrent service. The ambiance is cool. All else is terrible unless you want sip your beer and listen the staff huddle to discuss life as they lean on the counter. They could care less about providing any kind of service other than crap (like the roast beef sandwich) I'd post 1/2 star if it would let me. Avoid this place.

Mediocre food and beverage for an above average price. Try somewhere else or perhaps their other location

Had the girls come in town for a wellness weekend of Yoga, sounds baths, cheese tastings,…read morewaterfalls, and the lake. I live in Hector and have been to Lucky Hare a couple of times. Once for a bonfire! Lol It's a local thing. They have a wonderful casual deck. I love sitting out there. On this last visit, we skipped the beers, and went straight for Babe's burgers. They are stationed on the deck. I ordered their burger with carmelized onions, tomatoes, and lettuce. Pickle on the side. The tomato was a farm fresh Tomato which is AWESOME! It was a local farm grown tomato, and the burger was delish. We ordered a small fries, and 3 of us shared them, and still threw some out. Yes, a small is that large. They don't sell drinks at the babes burger window. We got those at the bar. They had a free water jug, with plastic cups. I ordered a Waterloo sparking water, one friend had regular water, and the last had a soda. Because the owner makes their own beer there. I highly recommend checking them out, for beers and burgers. We didn't order any this time, because we were getting ready to go on a long drive. But....Since I live there, I can confirm their beer is worth it! I love their casual atmosphere, it's a great place to go to talk and dine. It's a local place, so it wouldn't be awkward to see go there and run into friends and start combining tables. Everyone is super friendly, so if you're ever lonely or bored, it's a great place to stop by, and hang out, you're almost guaranteed to make new friends. Parking can be tricky if they are busy, but people park on the street as long as they don't block any cars from getting by. I also love that they allow dogs, on leash, and they can't beg. Common sense rules, so don't leave your dog at home. Bring them out!

First night in the area so gave this place a try. Food was pretty good, nothing great. Service and…read moreenvironment was way better than we expected. The craft beer I had was as strong as I hoped for.

It's been a while since I'd last been but everything is as amazing as I remembered…read more I've seen them advertise their monthly "flight night" events for some time but never actually had been to one. When I saw an espresso martini and cake pairing, I knew I had to pull the trigger. Met up with some friends and we all ordered food beforehand to offset the impending sugar rush. I'd had their naan pizza in the past and loved it, so this time I went with the one that had caramelized onions and goat cheese. AMAZING. Crispy crust, melty cheese, tangy onions and the perfect amount of everything in every bite. Then onto the main event: the flights! The staff brought over our cake and drinks and were so great about explaining what to pair together. (There was also a card) Desserts were a carrot cake with the most impossibly airy icing, a pistachio cheesecake with chocolate ganache, and a chocolate cake with a light nutella icing. I'm usually a carrot cake girlie and while I enjoyed it, the cheesecake was actually my favorite. Just the perfect pistachio flavor and a wonderful consistency -- so, so smooth. Our waitress told us that the owner is the one that makes all of the desserts too. A multi-talented queen. As far as the martinis, my favorite was the affogato one. These flight-nights are one-off events and the items aren't normally on the menu, so if you see one that looks extra appealing, get yourself there! I've been for normal service too though, and honestly, never have had a misfire here. One thing I especially love is the option to order drinks in 5oz pours, a godsend for lightweights like me. Ambiance, food, drinks, all excellent.

Great service with friendly bartenders. Food is good, if a little expensive for what you get and…read morecocktails are interesting and well made. The place is small, cute, and clean. Street parking is available and there was plenty of spaces when I arrived.
