    Husband and I come here all the time. We brought our out of town guests and seems like it was short staffed. Restaurant was not busy. Took a while for someone to come to our table. 20 minutes to receive beverages after they were ordered. Appetizer was cold when it came out. Had to get out of my seat to find someone to give us silverware and plates. After bragging about the food and service I was a little embarrassed to bring our out of town guests here.

    The food was terrible. Frozen fries, undercooked and fatty pork ribs. You literally had to saw through them. Waitress provided poor service and overcharged my credit card by $10. The food is expensive and not worth the value.

    We ate at the restaurant before a concert there. Our server and those assisting in the running of food and drink were so much fun! Great people! The food was to die for! I can't recommend the BBQ Nachos and the Smoked Brisket Sandwich enough! The brisket is mouthwatering! Best I've ever had! The Strawberry Fields cocktail was delicious! The fast lane access into the concert venue was a nice touch! Very convenient!

    Love the HOB Restaurant and Bar, just the best vibe. Our server Ray was very attentive and friendly. The Brussels Sprouts appetizer was excellent and the ribs were what I was planning to get and it did not disappoint. The meal was bigger than I could handle in one sitting so I took half of it home. The only thing I'm missing is the pre-Covid menu, it was larger and there were several dishes they no longer serve. But all in all, a great place to dine and hang out.

    Hello HOB, my name is Mike. And me and my wife ( Amanda) were there to see EVERCLEAR for our 20th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY and I must say it was by FAR the best anniversary that we have ever had. We drove over an hour and a half to get there and I would have driven 3 hours 1 way to get there especially now knowing just how amazing everything was.

    We had dinner reservations and were seated right away. We were seeing a show and wanted to take advantage of the VIP entrance to the event. Our server was nice and explained how the VIP entrance worked (need to spend at least $25 which is easy if you have food and drinks). The food came out in a reasonable time but we never got any silverware or napkins so we were just sitting there for a while until our server came back to check on us. He did apologize. The food was pretty good (had bbq smash burger and fries). The only gripe we had was waiting a long time for our check. It took about one hour and 10 minutes to sit, order, eat and pay our bill. Getting into the venue was easy. We had to go through security and the staff was really nice. They also provided cups for your beer if you wanted to take them to the show. The best part is the entrance from the restaurant to the venue is right next to the stage. Another cool thing is that they stamp your hand and you can go back into the restaurant anytime and use their restrooms and bar if you want which equals shorter lines. Overall a good experience just felt we waited a long time to pay. Plus our server mixed up our checks and had to redo them which took even longer.

    We made reservations because there was a lot going on downtown that day. We walked in went straight to our seats and was greeted almost immediately. We ordered the Nachos with brisket and it was so good and enough for 2 people. We didn’t even end up ordering an entree. Service was great food was great highly recommend!

    Overall experience was excellent but I would suggest more vegan options because not all vegans want a burger. Especially when there are such great recipes that could become vegan on their menu. I really want the cajun pasta but was unable to because they couldn't change it.

    The dinning area wasn’t very busy upon arrival. We did wait almost 10 minutes for our drinks. We then had questions about the fast passes for the show we were seeing, which were given to us but with no explanation. We ended up asking other people as we were passing by. Our food came out fairly quickly & was very good. No condiments or salt & pepper are on the tables. Which we then had to wait again quite a while for our server to return & then again to return with those items. As a typical bar would have most liquors, the first 3 I asked for to get a shot. They did not have. Once I got the shot, it was huge. Which was great especially for the cost (16.50). We watched multiple people come in to dine & they all sat for a while (5-10 minutes) before being greeted by a server. When we went to get in line for the show, we stopped by the bar to grab another drink, even with having two bartenders & maybe 4-6 people sitting at the bar. It took entirely too long for a beer (draft) & seltzer. Which is canned. I gave my card to the bartender when he returned it. There was nothing to sign with. Another bartender was making a drink & I said “could I ask you something” & she rudely said, I’m sorta busy right now but what? I said well I needed something to sign this with. Can you just add 20% gratuity to it. (Line for entry to the show was beginning to move) she was like uh I guess, but wait I need you to atleast sign this. Which I did, in pencil. Bartenders should always have ridiculous amounts of pens for signing tabs next to their register. Not to say this will deter me from giving it another shot. Just wasn’t overall impressed.
