The place has a ton of interesting historical photos and decor so take a minute to look. I recommend calling for reservations if you have a preference on where to sit. Service is always good and friendly and the opwner Kim ia almost always there. We like to sit at the bar on either side and you can eat and drink and watch tv or watch pizzas being made in their giant pizza oven. Love all their pizzas, especially the So Gouda. Also love their Strawberry Salmon Salad and the great wings with the Jamaican jerk dry rub. We have had most everything on the menu. The pasta is good, so are the sandwiches. The restaurant has 4 distinct areas. The Whiskey Bar is more dressed up, with dining room-style table seating and a glass bar. The Pub area is darker with booths, a bar with tv's and the giant pizza oven. This is our favorite space. Wrapping around the pub is a dining room that I think is more appropriate for families with children. It's loud. They also have a dog-friendly (leashed) sunken patio off the west side accessible from the inside of the dining room.

Came here on a Monday after a good ol' tennis session with some friends. The place was packed but…read moreafter learning it was 1/2 off burgers, I could understand why. The place was lively and it was buzzing. I got the bacon bbq deluxe burger and it was a very well done burger. Not in the meat-temperature sense but how well it was prepared. The burger was nice and medium. It was seasoned well, and the bacon was salty and the fried onions provided a nice crispy savoriness to the burger. The fries were just okay. I had some of my friends tater tots and would opt for the those instead going forward. Overall a really solid burger for only $8!

Every time I leave Crooked Pint, I just end up feeling... unsatisfied. It's not bad, but the food always seems to be missing that extra kick of flavor. On my most recent visit, I ordered the Mad Pepper Juicy Lucy, expecting something spicy but instead, it was completely mild and kind of bland. To make matters worse, the service was pretty slow and our server didn't seem very attentive. If you're just looking to grab a drink and maybe an appetizer during happy hour, it's fine for that. But if you're after a meal that really hits the spot, I'd say there are better options nearby.

They also have a wedding venue and curling arena attached so it is pretty busy every time but I have never waited more than 10 minutes for a table. Food: I got the loaded tater tots as an appetizer. I would say 4/5 for those, they were good I wish there was more bacon but the tot was stuffed with green onion and cheese then it came with queso and bacon on top. I would get them again. As my meal I got the lobster melt and it wasn't my favorite it didn't have as much cheese as I would want and felt like it lacked flavor. I think it would have been better with onions or like a sauce to dip it in. Service: it was a packed Saturday night but our server was attentive and very nice!

I am not exaggerating. There could not have been more than 1-2 ounces of meat on the burger. I had the Oklahoma burger and there literally no onions either. My wife and I both walked out after eating and could not believe what a ridiculous experience it was. We also got 2 deviled eggs for $4 a piece. You get 1/2 of an egg for $4. I make better eggs.

If you want to come here even relatively close to peak hours, I would highly recommend a reservation. My personal favorites here include the Rotisserie Chicken Sandwich and the Minute Chicken. I've gotten both items multiple times and they are consistently great. Do yourself a favor and get the Dessert Flight; the portions are more than fair for the price and the Banana Cream Pie is to die for. We recently did brunch at Hazelwood for the first time. The Monkey Bread is a generous size with a crispy outside and gooey center - exactly how you would want it to be. The Smoked Gouda Hash browns are worth getting on the side with any item that doesn't already include them; they are so creamy and have a rich cheesy flavor with a nice crispy top layer. Unfortunately, I would not recommend the Avocado Toast. The bacon bits, lettuce, and poached egg completely overwhelm the avocado, which is virtually nonexistent. It's served on a very small and boring piece of wheat toast.
