“Stopped in on our way home from the St Louis airport. So glad this was the place we chose! The food was amazing, atmosphere was perfect, the service was the best and it was CLEAN! I hate that we live 1:30 away because we would come here all the time. They even had a band for NY Day
Couldn’t have been any better!“

“Good food and good service!!! Our server, Kristen, was great. My wife and niece both ordered a burger and split an appetizer of deep fried mushrooms. Breakfast is available all day so I opted for biscuits and gravy with eggs. Yep, it was a good choice. Best I've found around here. And, Kristen kept showing up with the coffee pot to fill our cups. Next time I'm in Jacksonville, I know where I'm going to grab a bite to eat.“

“TOMATO BISQUE!!! This little gem is a must for lunch. Went in for the first time to try the soup. The special was a Cuban wrap and one side, which was the tomato bisque for me. It was amazing! Will definitely come back many times.“

“Family friendly atmosphere ❤️“

“We had Father’s day lunch here and it was amazing. We had a party of 7 and the staff was so friendly! The food was excellent! Everyone ordered something different and everyone loved their meal. My 11 year old is very picky and he loved his chicken parmigiana. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much!“

“Beyond Amazing Food & Service - Literally Saved My Life! (Thank You!)

Words simply cannot express the depth of my gratitude for The Hangout Bar and Grill. This review comes from the absolute bottom of my heart.

First, the food: It is hands-down the best around. Every bite was exceptional, showcasing incredible flavor and quality. It's truly life-changing cuisine that keeps you coming back for more.

Second, the service: The service is genuinely the best I have ever experienced. The staff is attentive, warm, and goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and cared for.

But my experience transcended even these incredible standards. During my visit, I suffered a terrifying choking incident on my salmon. In that moment of sheer panic, the staff and even fellow patrons sprang into action with incredible speed and compassion.

To the incredible woman (I wish I knew her name! Management, please pass this on!) who performed the Heimlich maneuver on me: You are my hero. You acted swiftly, calmly, and expertly, saving my life. There are no words sufficient to express the magnitude of my gratitude for what you did. Thank you seems insignificant, but please know it comes with every ounce of my being. I will never, ever forget your kindness and courage. God bless you.

To the entire staff and the kind locals who helped and supported me: Thank you. Your quick response, concern, and care in those critical moments meant the world. You didn't just serve a meal; you showed incredible humanity.

The Hangout Bar and Grill isn't just a restaurant; it's a place run by people with exceptional talent in the kitchen and, more importantly, truly golden hearts. You have a customer for life, not only because of the phenomenal food (which is reason enough!), but because of the incredible spirit, courage, and compassion shown by everyone there.

Thank you, from the very core of my heart. God bless you all. I will be back soon, with immense gratitude.“

“Not often do I make a point to leave a review. But anytime there is 5 star service and 5 Star quality food you don’t often get the Places deserves the recognition. For being a chain restaurant you often don’t find yourself amazed by the food and the service. Had a new menu item that we got the pleasure of trying. The new hand breaded chicken sandwich is worth trying out you will be pleasantly surprised“

“We called to give an order for pickup. The person who talked on the phone to me was hard to understand and was very rude and hung up on me before I finish talking to her. I have never talked to anyone in a fast food restaurant taking my order that was ever that rude before. She was obviously in a bad mood when she answered the phone.

Wheelchair accessibility: Indians wheelchair accessible.“

“Cheapest food in town. Servings are smaller than what you might get from other venders but the service is quick and the food decent. Actually got change back from a 20 bill. Somewhat noisy atmosphere but lots of family's come here for parties & to save money. Depends on what is most important to your eating experience.“

“Stopped for lunch with a friend, was a pretty busy Friday lunch rush. However, our waitress Lindsey was friendly, funny, and very attentive to us anyway. Recommended the lunch special, food was great! ( street tacos were excellent) Service was fast and great! Drinks stayed full, food was fresh, and she made sure we were taken care of promptly. We will be back!“
