Yum! Yum! Chicken salad!…read more Stopped here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and the place had plenty of seating. We decided to dine in their nice patio area because it was such a nice day out. Everything on their menu looked delicious and I couldn't decide between a burger or a sandwich. The nice waiter recommended their chicken salad and since I was already looking at that sandwich it made my choice easier. My bf got their Cuban sandwich and since neither entrees came with fries we decided to share an order of their thick cut fries. They also have a variety of beers on tap and canned beverages. I went with one of their local draft dark beers and it was very good. When the food came out it looked very appetizing. Their house coleslaw was extra delicious and super crunchy. The chicken salad tasted great and it was very well seasoned and I really loved the big chunks of chicken! The Cuban sandwich was also very good from the one bite I stole from my boyfriend. And the fries were soooo good! I was a perfect lunch date!

I found them on Yelp, and highly rated, so that was enough for me !! Not a huge menu, but we easily found what we wanted. The burgers were on the slightly smallish side (compared to others I've had), but they were delicious, and with the accompanying fries for me and onion rings for him, we certainly didn't walk away hungry. The "classic" burgers that we ordered were well represented with the ingredients we like (beef, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and pickle with some "hush" sauce - essentially thousand island dressing). We loved every bite !! We'd return here in a heartbeat, so if ever we're up in that area, we'll be getting those burgers again. Yummm.

This was our first visit, and we tried the chicken sandwich, potstickers, and cauliflower. Everything had really good flavor and a nice level of spice, and the portions felt fair for the price. The chicken sandwich was tasty, although I thought the chicken itself could have been a little thicker and juicier. I also liked that they cut the sandwich in half, but the tape around it felt a little excessive and made it harder than it needed to be to actually eat. That said, the flavors were very good, the pricing felt reasonable, and I enjoyed both the food and the beer. From a value standpoint, I thought they did a lot right. The main thing that kept the experience from being better was the service on the patio. The staff was not unfriendly at all, but it was difficult at times to get someone's attention, and simple requests seemed to take longer than they should have. That's something I'm noticing more and more in restaurants lately. If guests are being asked to tip at full-service levels, there still needs to be consistent follow-through and attentiveness throughout the meal, especially on a patio where it can already be harder to get someone's attention. Overall, though, I would recommend the place. The food was flavorful, interesting, and reasonably priced, and I'd definitely be willing to come back and try more of the menu.

Had such a great experience at Hap's! Walked in and it was spotless! They even had a hand sanitizer station right when you walked inEvery one that worked there had masks on and there were plexiglass shields lining the the front when you order.There were 5 of us so we ordered a bunch of apps. Everything was so fresh and delicious. The fried pickles were so good! I told the girl that worked at the front how much we liked the pickles and she told us they are homemade. I got a small chicken bomb and my husband got the super beef. Again, everything was so fresh, the chicken was moist and was overflowing with veggies. The super beef was huge and the beef was cut to order. We both could not finish our sandwiches they were so big! Ate them again for dinner. Very happy with Hap's I'm pretty sure this will be our new spot! read more

Went to Hap's Roast Beef today with four other friends to have them experience what I experienced on opening day and what an amazing visit!! I got the Junior beef along with the cheese and bacon fries and it was incredible. My friend got the Grilled chicken over rice pilaf and she is still talking about it. One friend got the garden salad and was very happy! The customer service was fast and pleasant. Dianne at the front counter was very passionate and made sure my experience was top notch. Thank you to the new owners for bringing back Hap's.. it's truly better then ever. WE WILL BE BACK!!! read more

The unfortunate thing is they have taken no responsibility for the issue. In fact their store manager did an interview and stated they received a clean review and although some employees were sick it was not during times when they were working. This denial of responsibility is ridiculous. They should have publicly apologized and said they would do better to make sure this never happened again. Big missed opportunity.
