Always outstanding!! Fresh and delicious!

I had the fish and chips with sweet potatoes fries. The fries were excellent! The fish was overcooked, but my friend’s said his tacos were very good.

The chicken sandwich was dry. Fries were actually barely warm. Expected better, especially during lunch time.

Reuben was as bland as a piece of boiled chicken. Reuben had almost no thousand island on it, I had to drive back to the restaurant to get some. There was one dollup of thousand island on one bite and none on the rest of the sandwich. It was obviously scooped with a spoon and thrown on the sandwich and landed all in one spot. Corned beef was flavorless, bland, and in tiny little pieces. There was not one good bite of a solid piece of corned beef, it was almost as if low quality corned beef was put in a blender and poured onto the sandwich. A better reuben could be found at any restuarant that has one.

I dont usually do this but i have to let others know. I stopped by for a pick up of 2 gyros on 1/29. When I got home I tried it ,the meat was soggy, wet, and mushy. The sauce was clumpy and sour. They were without any doubt the worst I have ever had. And I used to eat a lot of them from other places but don't know if I ever can again. Went to bed after trying a few bites. Got up this morning ,went to work and have had the runs ALL day. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone and I will never go back again. Wife is the same way as me all day so I know it's not a coincidence that it happened as I ate it. It happened BECAUSE I ate it. Sorry to ramble on but had to let others know

I was excited to try their ribs. The pictures from the review showed nicely seasoned dry rubbed ribs. What I received was completely different. Mine were smothered in bbq sauce with no seasoning underneath. It was so gamey. So disappointed.

We have gone here a couple of times. The food is good but the service is hit or miss. There isn't a lot of staff, so if it's busy, there's quite a wait. We'll go again if meeting friends in the area but we won't make a special trip.

If you want the best homemade from scratch food the Hungry Mule is the top of the top in Lake County. New specials Maria’s Meatball sandwich and filet dip are to die for!!! The sparerib ravioli seen below is so yummy too!

yes the food takes extra time. I am 100% sure its because it is made fresh to order. People that want food fast.. go and get fast food. I also think the food is a fantastic value. This industry has taken a major hit during and after the pandemic. price gouging is real and don't forget it. you try and cook yourself a lovely roasted chicken with lemony rice pilaf with pita and a huge salad fit for two with nuts, fruit topped off with excellent cheese and a homemade salad dressing ( close your eyes and taste the difference. ) and spend less than 30 bucks. ( now do it for 100 people) Labor shortages and crappy lazy people that don't come to work may be another reason for the slower service. for god sakes stare at reels or check your emails or go only if you have a bit of extra time to wait. better yet make a plan in advance if you are on your lunch break. (Like use your phone) This food is delicious inexpensive and part of a dying breed that execute good food cheap. for god sakes read the other reviews and take note that the food is cold when you get it delivered. guess what it would be hot if you got off your ass and picked it up. Sorry to be so crass but I want them to continue so I can feed my fat face with good food instead of crap from chains. The atmosphere is not my style that's why I gave it 3 stars. Keep up the good work whomever you are... and thank you for putting it out during the crappy price gouging labor rat race times. get rid of crappy food delivery services that takes your money for doing nothing but keeping your food from staying warm. or perhaps only a food that travels menu only for delivery. rant and real review!

It's a classic sports bar vibe. The food is good. The atmosphere is good. The service is really good. I mean, it's not gonna blow you away, but it's a consistent place that delivers every time. My coworkers and I eat here regularly because the menu is very general, beer is available, and everyone can get what they want. If you're hungry you could do a lot worse.

Went to lunch here today and sat outside. Our server was also the bartender, and made a delicious bloody mary. We had the baked feta for appetizer and a portabello sandwich. The service was super and food was really yummy. Definitely would go back.
