Excellent service! I believe if the Hard Times in Clarendon had more of this family-owned service feel, then it would have been able to stay open. But alas, the Alexandria one is the last man standing, but it seems for good reason.

I came in for grilled wings Wednesday and was only mildly impressed. The special was only saving $1.50 on a lb of wings and the wings were just okay. I'd definitely return for the service alone, but also to try the rest of the menu.

We came in late on a Friday evening excited by the 1/4 lb hot dogs and we were not disappointed! The Mac & Cheese wedges were excellent and the service was fast and friendly. Would visit again!

**Edit** I got food poisoning from the chili on the hot dog and was in the bathroom the entire night afterward.

One of my old school favorites. Texas Chili Mac or Friends Pie is what I always get. You plate will have a bunch of oil in the bottom so know that before going in. Also, no turkey chili. Beef only and soy chips for the vegetarians. Salads are also ok.

Price is Right (especially if you don't drink beer).

Loved getting the free chili sampler before ordering. It definitely helped with deciding what chili to get.  Justin was a great server and very helpful.  The chili was delicious and the food was brought quickly.

Not worth all of the hype.  They serve a few beer but no alcohol.  Their food is good, but nothing that I would write home to mom about.  They do have a good root beer but it's expensive.
