    Strawberry Salad with Cajun Chicken
    Paige B.

    The food was so good. I ordered the Cajun Chicken Strawberry Salad. It was so delicious and such a huge portion size! I switched out the Gorganzola for Feta because I am not a Blue Cheese girly and I also took off the onions. They put a good amount of a Chicken in there too and it has a great price point! The restaurant itself was super cute and rustic looking. It also had a HUGE patio that I can't wait to go to during the season when it's open. The decor was cute too and has a huge bar inside. The server was very friendly and she was very efficient. I can't wait to go back!

    We were greeted with a 15-20 minute wait at the door but noticed empty bar seats so made our way there. So glad we did! A few friendly local regulars around ready to give some tips on drinks and their recommended food options. And awesome service at the bar! Three bartenders were all helping each other out. One was learning the ropes, but the other two were extremely helpful to her and customers. Very serviceable with smiles all the way around. Food was tasty, hot and quick. and drinks were loaded. Can't wait to come back and keep trying out the rest of the menu! The service really makes or breaks a place and here it was outstanding!

    I was paying a visit to some old friends in a familiar neck of the hardwoods, and I stumbled across this joint along Route 8. While I was utterly confused about the setup of the building at first, I was pleasantly surprised by the tasteful eatery that's perched behind the golf simulator. Hardwood Cafe's sandwiches kicked my non-existent doubts in the face. The Hot Chic sandwich was divine, smothering my tastebuds with some of the finest Cajun seasoning I've ever had. The coleslaw was locked in too. The water was excellent, very refreshing. The outdoor dining was a nice touch, and the server was on point with all of my party of four's needs. Speaking of that number, we even stayed there for four hours chatting away about meaningless nonsense. I'll be back once I figure out what I need to figure out.

    I walked in to a lively atmosphere and sat at the bar to avoid the lines. The bartender was friendly and took my order right away. I enjoyed watching the crowd and the numerous TV screens. My food arrived.. the chicken and veggies were good but potatoes weren't very warm. I enjoyed talking to the staff and getting a feel for my new town. I'll be back..

    We came with a group to the Hardwood Cafe on our way to going to a rodeo in Butler. The place is large with an open air covered deck attached. Our server was named Ashley and she was really friendly and attentive. She was positive about menu items and our choices. We started with the Hot Honey Goat Cheese, which I liked, but the rest of the group did not. We ordered a mix of sandwiches, burgers, and pizza. Everything came out really well cooked and tasted great. I had the Jonathan, which was grilled chicken, cheese, and onions on toasted bread. This place is right on route 8 so it is easy to access if traveling through Butler.

    Had dinner this evening my meal was ok. Sorry being from South Louisiana there was anything Cajun even if it states slightly. The best part of my experience was the bartender Cody, he was very nice and friendly. He suggested a real good wine the Federalist Red Blend.

    Full rack of ribs!!

    12 years ago, I used to work there. Great people, great environment! I finally returned for my wife's birthday, and for a great meal! And we got it!! We ordered a full rack of ribs each, and had enough to leftovers! It was so tender, the bones slide right off the meat! (Better than any BBQ place I've been too) They totally redid the entire place to where it was unrecognizable to me...it looked amazing! Our waitress, Althea, was very sweet and kind! She gave us more than enough attention! We'll be returning at least once a month, since we live an hour away!

    A friendly sports bar atmosphere that carries itself with great food options. It's great for a quick appetizer snack or a full meal.

    The food wasn't as good as it had been in years past. I would like to try it again in the future if improvements are made.

    Good food, good service. The pulled pork sandwich is spot on. Coleslaw is exceptional.

    All food is over cooked especially the chicken on salads which is extremely dry. Most bartenders have an attitude so we stopped going there.

    After ordering takeout from here on occasion, we finally stopped in here for dinner and if anything…read moremy experience suffered even more. We started with the spinach and artichoke dip and mozzarella sticks as appetizers with a runny dip and $12 for 6 mozz sticks that were straight from freezer to fryer. They indicate that the marinara is homemade, but these clearly were not. I ordered garlic parmesan wings with ranch, and noticeably their was no garlic or parmesan as far as I could tell. It was just butter. The wings were cooked fine, but I can't believe they would serve a product like this. And I've said it before, but I'll say it again - their homemade ranch is horrible. It's supposed to be "garlic" ranch, but they might as well call it sugar ranch. I can't think of any other scenario where I wouldn't eat ranch, so this is an incredible bar to suppass. The best item I tried was my son's pizza from the kid's menu, which is saying something.

    Loved the atmosphere. Being from the Youngstown area, they had a lot of Youngstown highschool…read morememorabilia. It was nice they even had a little area of kids toys to keep the little ones entertained, if needed. Service was fast and the waitress was attentive to refills or other needs. The food was really good although the kitchen staff could pay more attention to what order was placed. We ordered a pepperoni pizza and they forgot the pepperoni. We also ordered our meals with pub chips and received French fries. The waitress confirmed that it was entered correctly, which it was but the kitchen staff messed up. The soft pretzel appetizer was good but not worth the price tag for as little as you got. The kids pizza was very fluffy pizza dough. It tasted great. The buffalo chicken ranch wrap and authentic Philly were also good. Pub chips were cooked and seasoned perfectly with a little salt and pepper. The only thing we did not particularly like was the garlic ranch. I prefer regular ranch but this was their signature specialty and was noted as a topping on food items.
