But it's a fast food restaurant with sit-down prices, and I'm hesitant to say it, but it just didn't seem very clean. One reviewer mentioned beer, but there was no alcohol of any kind in sight. We weren't looking for any, and that's fine at a fast food place. There is no wait staff. None. You order on a kiosk screen (they ask for a tip). You seat yourself, and you wait for 30 minutes for them to call your number. But it was a Saturday evening. You get your own drinks, and there's a bowl of salt packets. Our meals were served on sheet pans with a piece of paper on them. My friend ordered pulled pork BBQ mac & cheese, and it was dumped on that piece of paper. At least my baked beans were in a cardboard bowl (on the paper). I had fries (no sides are included), so she went back to the counter to ask for ketchup (there's nothing on the tables). The man asked her (seriously) "one or two?" She said "more", so he gave her 3. She asked "Can I have more?", so he gave her two more. She asked for pepper "No, we're out." You clean up after yourself before you leave, and leave your pan on the top of the trash can (like Burger King). Our bill was just under $52.43 before the tip was added. I owned a restaurant / bar, and it's a tough business to compete in. They obviously are doing something right, as they have lots of customers. It's just not what we were looking for.

Hog Molly's is everything I like about a brewery, delicious beer, particularly their Rushin' Record Imperial Stout and Remember the Tartans Scottish Ale, beverages for non-beer drinkers, a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere, and super cool, friendly, fun staff (Sarah was a blast to chat with). My only knock is that they're 10 hours away from me. And that's really a me problem. We had so much fun. I recommend visiting early and often.

Loved the selection of beers that they had! The beer tender allowed me to try a few (I'm super…read moreindecisive) and honestly there wasn't one beer that I tried that I wouldn't order. I did half a glass of the 2-a-days lemon IPA (this beer is sooo refreshing & perfect for the summer) and I had the rest of the glass of the Mangonero IPA which has just a tiny kick of spice that adds a nice flavor without overdoing it. The Morning Workout Coffee Stout was also sooo good!! They have a nice little courtyard if you want to hang outside, games, and a small kitchen (we didn't get food as the kitchen was closed). Overall, I would recommend & wish I was closer because the beer was

Before I begin my review, I would be remiss to mention those skeptical souls who think of Lil'…read moreCharlie's, not as a beacon of culinary excellence or a palace of palatial pleasures, but a den where dwell the foulest demons of ignorance of cooking. Charles Baudelaire, before whom I bow as a servant to a master, once said "On peut juger de la vertu d'un homme à ses goûts en matière de nourriture". Well, he technically said no such thing, but I wish he would have. Baudelaire would have smited upon the tongue those fanatic cretins who maintain and uphold the absurd opinion that Lil' Charlie's (Heaven banish the thought!) is a bad restaurant. I have heard many of my fellows complain of stomachaches and nausea accompanying a trip to this paradise of cookery. Alas! they exaggerate their sufferings, seeking to blame Lil' Charlie's for their own puerile digestive system. For those who criticize the food itself, I have no words. Indeed, I must restrain my tongue; for no fire burns too hot for them, no poison good enough to scorch their iniquitous throats, no--but I must hinder my rash flow of words: justice makes me speak thus. Now I shall presume to speak of the menu. Presume, because who can hope to accomplish the feat of expounding, in mere human words, the transcendence that is the cooking of Lil' Charlie's? I feel as Dante felt when, looking into the eyes of his lady-love Beatrice (oh! those luminous eyes 'lucent-weeping from the dayspring'!), he laments his inability to capture the beauty of it in words. To use Browning's phrase: "Poor the speech; be how I speak for all things". If Browning stumbles in his speech, what can I hope to say? Nevertheless, I set sail in uncertain waters, trusting that my words may carry me through. The food itself is the platonic ideal of perfection. The pork sandwich, Homeric in its proportions, leaves no hungry waif unsatisfied. The chicken wings come in divers seasonings. Jamaican Jerk? Parmesan and garlic? Classic Buffalo? Lil' Charlie's has you covered. The salads are a pleasant meal in themselves; one cannot eat them without conjuring up images of sunny pastorals or the Ecologues written by Theocritus, where joy-drunk shepherds recite their bucolic verses to one another. I shall go so far as to compare the summer salad to a painting by Watteau. Such is the magical power wielded by the chefs of Lil' Charlie's. The one stain upon the pure tapestry woven by the Muses themselves may be said to be the Father Franz Chili. It was rather too oily and contained NO beans! Absurd! Maddening! All in all, it was still a somewhat palatable meal. I must end my paean to Lil' Charlie's without praising the many other attractive features that lend it lustre. The atmosphere is homey and attractive; the tables are as clean and polished as a verse by Virgil. I blush with shame that I cannot hymn the staff, angels of culinary perfection, as is fit. All I can add is that Heaven shall reward them the highest sphere among its many mansions. And, to you one young man who laments the time it takes to receive your food (you know your name, oh unfortunate one!), all I can wish is for your tongue to cleave to your jaws and your liver to pour forth upon the earth. Let your voice be silenced ever and anon. FINIS

Super chill divey spot and has some really great prices. They also have a focus on the history of the bar which I love. They have hanging mugs for regulars and clearly have a focus on the community. My only criticism is the service. I am a lover of bars, and have worked in the hospitality Industry my whole career, and what I can say is that this place is not welcoming to newcomers. I get it, I've been a regular before, and have had my own regulars at spots as well. If you want to attract new business, you have to lure them in and make an attempt to be friendly. Regardless of this, the beer is cold, that neon keeps glowing night after night, and I'll keep coming back.
