    Huge deep fried mushrooms
    Valerie M.

    Yesterday was my SO and my first time here. We've always passed it driving and always wondered about it since it always has a lot of cars. Well, we are glad we stopped! The waitress was super nice, quick and accommodating. It was nice and quiet in there, had a bit of Xmas music going but not too loud to be annoying. Now, the food. Got an appetizer of deep fried mushrooms. We Definitely didn't realize how huge they'd be! It was like video game size! The outer layer was super buttery and crunchy. The mushroom itself was a bit plain but I really liked that it wasn't mushy, had a bite to it. So the outer layer with the sauce they give you? Yum!! Then they gave us an index card of specials, which I thought was super cute! We went with the all you can eat 8.99 spaghetti. We knew full well we'd never make it to the 2nd bowl but it was cheaper than the regular non special. By like $2 but still. I ordered two garlic breads. I didn't think they'd be mini loaves! This place does not skimp on the portions! The meatball was packed with flavor and nice and easy to cut with a fork. The spaghetti itself was good, me personally I don't like soft noodles but my SO did. Felt a little over cooked for me but that's just my preference. Overall, it was a hit. We could definitely tell it's a small town favorite. We will return.

    I had lunch here yesterday with eight other people for a small Holiday celebration. We made reservations on Thursday, but the servers working were not expecting us when we came in. No problem, they quickly moved tables together for us! Our waitress was quick and great, everyone was very happy with their meals. Portions are HUGE and food is super reasonably priced! A great little family stop. I had the chicken and cheese tortellini, I really liked the chicken and noodles but wasn't the biggest fan of the alfredo, it wasn't a traditional alfredo and was almost similar to a creamed chicken sauce. The gnocchi and marinara was a big hit in our group and I would definitely try that. We had the all platters, and the fried mushrooms were EXCELLENT and you could tell were homemade- I was expecting those little frozen ones you get at pizza places but I was pleasantly surprised. The manager/owner also came over to check on us several times and was very nice! She even read our story for our white elephant gift exchange! This is a great place to stop for a meal!

    My family and I went to Hugo's at 9pm on a Friday night after my Cal U graduation. They close at 10, so they were not thrilled to see us walk in, but whatever. Not sure how long this place has been here, but I'm guessing forever lol there was no decor on the walls and everything was super plain. Kinda reminded me of a church social hall or something. We ordered the cheese sticks as an appetizer. They came out right away and were very good, but could easily tell they were not homemade. My husband ordered the stuffed chicken parm that was on special, but he said it wasn't stuffed with anything lol portion was huge though! My mom ordered the seafood marinara that was also huge! My sister and I both ordered the queen prime rib done medium rare. It was only $16 and came with 2 sides AND a salad! The prime rib was not only huge but absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly! My husband liked my prime rib way more than his chicken parm. We got a piece of chocolate brownie cheesecake that was also fantastic. They have a dessert display case in the restaurant. My mom asked the waitress if she could have the last 2 brownies wrapped up to go. About 15 mins later the waitress comes over and says "the table over there wants one of those brownies, so is it ok if I give them one?" My mom didn't really seem to mind, but I thought that was extremely rude of the waitress. But whatever! Pros: the portions were huge. My family ordered 2 prime ribs, seafood pasta, stuffed chicken, 4 desserts, and drinks and our the bill was only $85! I should also add that we were out of there before 10. It wasn't the best dining experience of my life, but for those prices and that cheesecake, I will definitely return to Hugo's!

    Steak dinner

    Went here on Saturday, March 30th in the evening with my parents around 8 pm and had a decent dining experience. They've recently upgraded their furniture and painted so restaurant looks a more modern than it had in the past, but it still has that dated atmosphere and appearance to it. My mother and I both ordered the fantail shrimp and baked potatoes with green beans and salad. Food was very good, especially the shrimp. My father ordered a New York strip steak and a baked potato and corn, which he loved. Their steaks are a great deal. My dads steak was huge and it was only $16.95! If you were to order it at a steakhouse, they'd definitely charge a lot more for a steak that size. Definitely a real value. The total bill was only $47.95 for three people and we ordered alcohol which is fairly affordable compared to other restaurants I've been to. Will definitely be back. Our waitress was friendly and attentive as well. The only thing I found weird about the whole experience is how many foods they had listed in the menu, but they had black highlighted out. Also throughout my dining experience, I heard the wait staff would talk back and forth and being out of different items on the menu, which was a little awkward. If your ouDefinitely will be back in the future. It's nice to have a restaurant in the area that isn't fast food or a pizza shop.

    Food really had no taste to it. Including the dessert. It seemed as though the food wasn't seasoned.
