I went there with my parents the last time I visited. It's probably closer to a four-star for me,…read morebut it was the best place in town. I'm gluten free and the burger was good (the bun was great!), if ever-so-slightly too juicy. At first, the menu felt incomplete to me, only really having sandwiches. But the burger menu manages to feel special enough to justify this. The ambiance was delightful, but could use a little polish. They don't have good noise control because the hard ceilings and the hard floor reflect all the sound at the patrons. It's not terrible, but it's a detractor. The tables and booths are comfortable, but feel just a tad cheap. Not bad, but certainly room for improvement. And the back patio is a bit plain, you feel like you're missing out if you eat there. They should add some decorations, maybe a mural or something. The service was wonderful. It feels "Mom and Pop," but also like a well-oiled machine. It's close to being a landmark restaurant, but could use that final bit of attention to detail. So: not perfect, but the best place in town.

This place has some large windows to let you see the fire station across the street, an interesting view. It is well lit and clean. I did not have breakfast but some friends said it was very good. We showed up one evening for the pot roast special and the pork chops. My pot roast was tasty, the mash potatoes were good, if they were from a can or powdered I could not tell. The broccoli was fresh but nothing special. The pork chops were moist and cooked to perfection. The accompanying asparagus had a few hard pieces and was on the cold side but edible. We enjoyed the food and will most likely be back as the meal atmosphere were on the whole pleasant.

This should mean no tendrils, no whispies, contain all hair in a hat, net, with hair tie, pins or with hairspray. Absolutely no employee should be touching their hair without then washing their hands. If the next time I'm in and see hair falling loosely around the face, I WILL NOT HESITATE TO CALL THE FOOD INSPECTOR.

The food was delicious, served hot & speedy, by a cheerful staff. The dining area was clean upon arrival and the room smelt of toasted bread. I liked the faux brick decor. The restroom looked maintained and smelled pleasant. Pictured below is my half small beef dip. It had tender American Wagyu beef, provolone cheese, and mayo on a toasted hoagie. I highly recommend asking for no mayo. Between the three half subs I've had in as many meals I'd give it 4 stars, 5 without all that mayo.

The vibe of Hip-Stir ha always been cool and kinda niche and this was no exception. If you don't know that they changed up their menu.. they did. It's not bad by any means, but I am pretty heartbroken about them removing the Spinach Artichoke dip. It was the best around and I'll be overjoyed when it returns. The new menu still features ramen, sandwiches and other yummy dishes. I ordered a side of Mac and cheese with my entree and the food was out in about 20 minutes which is great! Unfortunately my Mac and cheese was forgotten- our server apologized and went to "get that started", no worries. The next time our server was at our table I inquired about it again since it had been about 10 minutes, but she had forgotten yet again. She rushed back to "get it started", ok. At this point everyone was getting full and I didn't even want it anymore, but she returned a few minutes later with it. A little frustrating. The ramen has changed, unfortunately. My sister ordered the spicy pork (which has historically been amazing) and didn't even finish it, which is pretty weird for her lol. I tasted nothing but soy sauce and spice. I'm not sure where the aromatics went, but they need to bring them back asap. Don't order the carrot cake. It was served over coffee (yes, hot coffee) which ruined it. The cake was overly soggy and tasted of nothing but the coffee flavor. I'm sure it would have been great without it, the frosting looked great. I'll probably be back and love supporting the Fun not Fancy group in CR, but last night was a miss.
