cool place.

Just a nice place with very nice people (esp the very hard working, honest blonde lady) to get decent food. We’ve been coming here and its other locations for many years. Too bad the Woodbridge and the Manassas locations closed. So we make the drive to Springfield and Fairfax and at times the other locations because there is no other chili joint like it, esp if you also like to shoot pool. Great OPEN Hours and Days too.

My husband and I have popped by this Hard Times location a few times over the years for chili mac, wings, and their weekend breakfast buffet, and went there this evening to try their dinner entrees for the first time because they have daily specials, and customers can get $3 each entree on Saturdays.

Friendly service and good food, but the the air conditioning is not great, so you may have to eat in an 80° dining room. However, there’s plenty of cold beer.

Fish tacos were amazing and everything that came out of the kitchen looked great. This will definitely be a new go to restaurant. Our server Aggie did a really great job too, we had a very good time… plan on playing pool next visit, which will be soon.

In front, a friendly family restaurant with generous portions of really good and reasonably priced food. In back, a bar and pool hall. My pork ribs with sweet potato fries, corn bread, and cole slaw was delicious. Although there’s construction next door, it was nice and quiet inside. The tables were sanitized as soon as diners left.

The chili is super gross, just grease and meat slurry. No beans chilli’s tomato or anything. Even hot sauce didn’t fix it. The bar itself is actually a pretty cool area, but 10$ for a bowl of significantly worse chili than you get from a can?

We enjoyed this place. We tasted the chili sampler and all were good. We had the fried pickles, grilled wings, steak tips, and salad. Service was good. I would recommend this place.

I love the Cincinnati chili. It’s always on point. The worn out old Time look is fun
