The blonde woman that was making our food was very pleasant and wore gloves. The burgers were all overcooked unfortunately, but we still ate them. I stopped in here again last night for a beer and they had burger sliders on special. I sat at the bar and had a front row seat to the grill. What I witnessed was disgusting. The brunette working the grill did not wear gloves and she was touching everything. The burger buns, raw hamburger meat, pickle slices, raw onion, she grabbed fries with her bare hands right out of the mini fryer, onion rings were thrown in a paper basket with her hands, she was also getting drinks for customers, handling money and touching her face. How has no one contacted the health department??! I finished my beer and left. I loved the ice cold beers in the big mugs and the dive bar atmosphere, but I won't return.

My friend and I were looking for a good bar burger and this place ticked all the boxes. Burgers were huge and juicy. The patty melt was on buttered Texas toast. The fries were the crispy shoestrings and lightly salted. We shared the Philly steak egg rolls with bang band sauce and ended up taking doggy bags home with the large portions. The ladies working here were all nice and made us feel welcome. They have a full bar, keno, and an outside dining area in addition to seating inside. Larson's was excellent and the perfect place for a big ole bar burger and a few drinks.

The cook is touching everything without gloves!!!

I ordered the Public House burger ... a small beef patty with crispy, thick-cut bacon and a very generous portion of tasty pulled pork, cheese, tomato, onion and was served on a properly toasted ciabatta bun. The beef flavor of the burger patty was lost in a sea of the other stronger flavors. Towards the end, it became a bit of a sloppy mess that I finished with a knife and fork. The serving of crispy homemade chips initially seemed small, but was actually sufficient. Thankfully, they were very lightly salted. Not a salt fiend ... Service was both prompt and attentive ... my water glass was never empty and I never wanted/waited for anything. Glad that I visited, but I am not a local and my opportunity to return is small.

Harbor Hook and Grille

This is not the type of restaurant that you'd expect in a coastal fishing village. My four star rating is based on the above and value. As pictured, the cuban sandwich and onion rings. I prefer battered rings, but these were breaded and seasoned. They were the best breaded rings i've ever had. The cuban sandwich was traditional with ham, pulled pork, cheese and pickles. It wasn't pressed, but that didn't affect the taste, just the appearance. The servers were very attentive and refilled my iced tea three times. Very clean eating area and restroom.

On our way home from a run to the airport, we were both famished, so we turned to our trusty…read moreresource - Yelp! We were approaching the Monroe area, and did not want any fast food. We chose Habor Hook & Grille. This restaurant sits right across the street from the harbor, hence part of the name, and the food pics looked appealing. It was almost 9pm on a Tuesday night, so there weren't many people. It was rather dark when we entered, so I inquired if it was too late to get dinner and we were told the restaurant was serving until 10pm. The restaurant and bar area was a large open area with very high ceilings. There is an outdoor area for seating and what looked like a bar area as well. I asked about daily specials and our server told us there weren't any due to the Harbor Hook & Grille just implemented a new menu with several new offerings. Our server was very friendly and attentive. We ordered the Calamari appetizer (served with a thicker marinara sauce), the Harbor Cubano sandwich with fries, and the Tuna Poke Bowl. Tha Calamari was good, but could've used some additional seasoning as it was somewhat bland. The Harbor Cubano sandwich was also good - roasted pork, sliced ham, Swiss cheese, dill pickles, and mustard. There wasn't much mustard if any, so our server offered any of their sauces - a garlic aioli was selected. This sandwich was served with fries. I am not sure if it was because we arrived so late or what may have happened, but these fries were somewhat mushy and limp. They may have been sitting for a while or undercooked. The Tuna Poke Bowl, in my opinion, was the highlight of our food selections. The flavor of the tuna, cucumber, carrots, radishes, and pickled onions were topped with a spicy sauce that paired very well with this dish. All-in-all a decent dining experience. I would've gone with 3.5 stars if available in Yelp! scoring.
