    Service is outstanding as is the beverage selection. Food was good, but unfortunately was lukewarm in temperature. Pricing seemed a bit on the expensive side.

    Our Thanksgiving tradition for a number of years now has been to visit Hardware. Food is great, and their beers are really good! Our server, Margarita, was fantastic! It was a great way for the two of us to celebrate the holiday!
