We had my daughter's 50th birthday celebration at Hooley's a week ago. The manager, server and staff were so accommodating, patient and helpful. Everyone had a great time and loved the food. About half of the guests had not been to Hooley's before and they were all very impressed. Would I recommend this place? You bet I do!

The prime rib dip sandwich, the reuben sandwich and the large dinner fries are very good.
Our server was excellent and came back to our table often to see if we needed anything else
