Horrible lunch. Ordered a simple BLT with Cheese and waitress could not understand order. Sandwich came without cheese. As I was eating at the counter, another waitress started cleaning dishes and spraying cleaner in front of me into the sink. I told the person I was eating and could she wait and I received a stare. Also, I had to ask twice for a refill on my Ice Tea. The bread was not fresh and my salad had soft lettuce. For the first time in two years, I stiffed the service and walked out leaving part of my sandwich.

A step above the usual pub type food. Service is excellent and refills are often filled without asking. The Hard times Cafe has specials everyday. Chili is a specialty and a chili sampler is offered often without asking at no cost. Prices are reasonable, especially on the daily specials of chili burgers, chili on spagetti, etc.. The chicken wings are amust i their unique spice and you tast good chicken. Service is excellent. Bathrooms are small and relatively clean with soap available.

Although interior decoration does not really set the mood, the food is excellent, servings are generous and the prices are reasonable. Service, especially refills on drinks, was prompt and often filled without asking. Overall, very enjoyable dinner. We never felt rushed to leave after eating. The bathrooms were clean and soap was filled. On my second and later visit, everything was consistant with my prior visit, but I noticed they seemed to skimp on the cooked vegetables. When I said something, the owner stated the restauarant was finding people were just wasting/not eating the cooked vegetables including tomatoes, so unless asked for in particular, they were not served in abundance.

Dinner service was extremely slow even though restaurant was not busy. The fish and vegetables were glistening, a clear indication that a lot of oil and/or butter was used in preparing the fish. The pasta was so slippery with oil that my fork could not twirl it. At the bottom of the pasta dish, there was enough oil to fill a container. We talked to the manager and she did state the next time we come in to seek her out. Highly unlikely another visit will be made.
