Nbd wasn't stressed at that point because the bartender was super busy. I work in food service I get that.. Then the rest of the food came out and we were never checked on again for the next 20 minutes while we ate. Would have loved to bring up the fact that this chicken wing was completely RAW.. put it out by the card just waiting for the bartender to notice us/the chicken wing and she never did so we just paid and left. Hoping we don't get sick. The rest of the wings were cooked we just so happened to bust into to this one last.. Again I get it if you're absolutely slammed but just felt like we were getting completely ignored for no reason. We were polite so not sure what the deal was.

The brewery realized, that not only do the locals like drinking its beer, but they also like hanging out. So, the brewery expanded its taproom and also added an outside beer garden with picnic tables. I love it.

We drove into town late (9:40) and were in search of places still open to grab some grub to eat at…read morethe hotel when we checked in. After reading the great reviews of their food and looking at the menu (and on their website) we were excited to get something that wasn't fast food. Told by a lovely barkeep that all they had were their late night menu - wings, cheese curds and fries. They had lost their cook, and hence no more fish tacos, chicken parm sandwich, etc. I ordered all 3 items, half wings with garlic parm and half boom boom, cheese curds and jazzed fries. Food came out very quickly and with a smile. The one star is for the friendly barkeep/cook. Food, very meh. Enough said. Perhaps inform the unsuspecting hungry customer that your menu isn't available- on Yelp or on your website. I mean, it's a bar after all, I suppose, and not a restaurant. And this'll teach me to read the dates on all those food reviews on Yelp! (It looked like a great place to hang and shoot some pool and listen to decent music. Just don't expect 90% of the food menu to be available.)

The Golden Q is a Hays staple and I swear by it…read more I hadn't been back to town in years so when I made my return I had to stop in for a Q Burger. Color me shocked. Gone was the old cigarette smoke-filled and alcohol-fueled hazy look of the Golden Q of yesteryear and in its place is a semi-recently remodeled and expanded Golden Q... one that is now CLEAN, smoke free and includes a couple of back rooms, tons of tvs and a back patio. You can still drink your choice of alcohol (it's encouraged,) you can still play pool if you want and most importantly, you can still enjoy a Q Burger (or your burger of choice,) but you don't have to feel bad about bringing some underage members of the family during the afternoon to watch the game of your choice. I love the new open look and man, I still love those Q Burgers. I can't wait to come back.

The hostess was super customer service oriented and the server was also very much so as well. We saw that they had lunch specials for $9.99 and also Oktoberfest specials on beer: $4 pints & $5 tall steins. We ordered: Cheesy Sticks Starters, 2 Old Chicago Chopped Salads, 1 Oktoberfest Beer, and 1 Heineken 0% Alcohol Beer. Everything came out within a good amount if time: about 7 mins for the starter, and 10 mins after that for the salads. The cheesy bread was pretty good, hot and flavorful. It came with a marinara dipping sauce. The salads were tiny and served in small bowls. They definitely were not worth $10 each, but maybe $3 each, as they were side salad size, not lunch salad size. We had excellent customer service here so I kept it at 3 stars. The food quality and portion sizes was a bit off.
