Hawthorne's Backyard

Fried fish was awful, I didn't finish my meal. We were rushed out the dining room because of some type of trivia game they had scheduled.

We enjoy trivia night with family and friends, on Wednesday nights. Food and beverages never dissapoint, and the staff is always polite, cheerful, and accomodating.

Always used to love this place. Not sure what happened but my last visit was horrible. Our server mentioned she was the manager & she was quite inept. Our group of four ordered, & only 3 meals were delivered. She somehow deleted one meal when submitting the order. The small extras that were asked for at the time of ordering never came with the meals. Had to wait & re-ask again to make things right. I thought the full slab of ribs I ordered came with Bar-B-Q sauce. Had to ask for sauce. Many other small things occurred that made this experience very frustrating. They tried to make things right but it was a case of to little too late. We arrived at 6 pm & there were maybe eight people in the dining room so it's not like they were busy. Around 630pm more people started rolling in. The manager/server comped 2 drinks. Not sure if this was a one off experience or they just can't find good help????

This was our first time dining in at the restaurant, although we've been here before for a few parties and have also used their catering for our business events. The food is always delicious!

I'm pretty sure the owner had a word with the weatherman and requested a perfect day for dining out (yes, we're borrowing that bit of sarcasm from another review—loved it!).

We walked in and were seated right away. Our server took our drink order promptly and came back shortly after for our food order. Within 10–15 minutes, our meals arrived—and they were delicious! We ordered the ribs, a cheeseburger, and a Jr. cheeseburger.

Our 10-year-old had a blast playing with the other kids, which made the whole experience even better. We'll definitely be coming back more often—Hawthorne never disappoints!

We sat outside. If it is cooler, you can sit by the fire pit.

Drink and food orders are taken quickly. It wasn’t a problem that we needed all separate checks.

The food arrived quickly and was hot. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Checks and to go boxes arrived quickly when requested.

We had our wedding at Hawthornes and it was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The staff was professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our day perfect. The venue itself is stunning — perfect for us since we love the outdoors — and created the most beautiful backdrop for our ceremony, photos, and celebration.

So many of our guests complimented the atmosphere, food, and flow of the night. Every detail was handled seamlessly, and we never once had to stress. The team went above and beyond to make sure we felt taken care of, and it truly allowed us to just enjoy every moment.

We couldn’t have imagined a better place to celebrate becoming Mr. & Mrs. If you’re considering this venue for your wedding, do it — you won’t regret it!

Food, service and atmosphere were all absolutely out of this world. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Our server, Autumn, greeted us with a genuine smile and made us feel like we were her only table. The food was hot and delicious and the patio was amazing. Great job, Hawthornes! We will absolutely be back again.

Fool me twice! The last 2 times were disappointing. Last time I was told “we don’t have enough staff so that is why we have 1/2 the tables open but can’t seat you. This past visit told us the it is a 3 hour wait since their “kitchen is small” and there are still open tables. I’m sure owners would like to know what patrons are being told. Ouch!
