“Tara was our waitress and she was the best waitress I have ever had in my entire life, and I’m a chef so I’ve come across a lot of waitresses in my lifetime. We rarely come in here due to horrible waitresses in the past, but if Tara will be here I will continue to come in. What a fantastic asset she is to this establishment. And the food was fantastic today as well. Great job Hometown Grill!!“

The other servers are nice, and food is good with great prices and good portion sizes! If u do order a salad make sure to tell them to put shredded cheese otherwise they put chopped sliced cheese.“

“We stopped in pretty much right after opening for an early lunch. First the atmosphere is perfect for a small town bar. We were greeted by our friendly server Barb and the cadence of the meal was perfect. We started with the breaded mushrooms - perfectly fried with a crunchy exterior and the mushrooms fully cooked. Our entrees - the Reuben with onion rings - the bread had a great grill on it. Kept the sandwich from being soggy! The onion rings were again just about perfect. No sliding onion rings after the first bite here! I had the Hanover Backwoods Burger and wow was it tasty. The fries were good (I believe double fried with a good crunch) but the burger was the star of this meal for me. If we're in the area again we'll be back!“

“Came here for dinner the other day and wanted pork chops. On the menu, there are bbq pork chops, and there are also grilled pork chops. After a small, what's the difference chat with the waitress I ordered the grilled. Now I have ate thousands of pork chops in my life and every one of them had a small y bone in them, but these grilled pork chops were round with no bone and they weren't grilled but pan fried. I told the waitress that these are not pork chops. These are slices of pork loin, she argued with me and told me they have never served pork chops with bones in them. Bottom line is they have never served pork chops. So if you want a really good pork chop dinner go up the road to Hometown grill you won't be disappointed.“

“I've been waiting for this place to open! I finally saw that they were and stopped in. The inside is pretty cool and very 80s nostalgic right down to the music.As for food, I tried two of the cheeseburger sliders, coleslaw, fries, and a soda. Nice selection of soda, so nice going on that. The fries were my favorite, and had just the right amount of salt. The slaw might have been a bit too creamy, but still tasted decent.The cheeseburgers, though, weren't really up to snuff. The buns were either warmed up too much to the point they were dry, or they were stale. The cheese and onion ratio were excellent, but the burger itself was also dry. I'd be tempted to try a 1/3 pound burger sometime and see how that is, but I would go back for the sliders.Interesting place, and I hope they get a chance to really perfect their food.“

And the food was cold when it did come out. But I'd give it one more shot on a comedy night to see if it's any better before never going “

“Second time to dine here. If you are on the fence just try them out! The burgers are just delicious. That yummy beef taste and texture of what beef used to be like! There are a selection of burgers with sandwiches created with a variety of beef and lamb.A few chicken sandwiches, crafted sandwiches and a big person style grilled cheese(lol) I will be trying at my third visit. They use beef tallow in their fryer so everything tastes amazing. Fried sides sell at a shareable price. The feta fries are yummy. It is always a pleasure to receive a dish that is different from the norm! The short rib nachos are amazing too. The beef melts like cotton candy with great crispy nachos that hold up to their toppings. Just added a tad of salt. We have had the bacon me crazy burger and smash burgers. Both are amazing. They have gluten free burger buns. My partner had the Tarzan cocktail and a whisky sour. The bar tenders rock mixed craft cocktails here and use egg whites in the sours demonstrating old school crafting. Lemonade is okay. Variety of milkshakes with and without alcohol. Great for singles , date night or family dining with a nice size bar to dine at or try a craft cocktail. Staff is very approachable and attentive. They are just open from a remodel. The inside is higher end looking than what you would think for a burger location but this is more than just a burger! I have always said ,”I would rather eat a great cheeseburger than a steak because finding a great burger does not happen that often and when it does, you just have to go for it !” There is a level of darkened elegance with a relaxed vibe. Great place to unwind and dine after a hard work week! They are trying a new menu and items. At times they may run out of a product ,however, in keeping everything fresh from scratch this can happen. I will go with their flow for food that is freshly prepared by a business that cares. If I were to pick a restaurant this reminds me of it would be Regale Craft Food in that the food is always freshly prepared from scratch with respect abd served in a cozy relaxing environment. Your choices are not necessarily all small plates here ,however, every bit is worth it. Just divide everything up and pass multiple dishes around. They do not have a large dining room and seating has moved fairly well. We just dined at a local bar/restaurant and they charged $19.00 for a burger and fries. My double patty smash burger with house made chips which are amazing was $14.00. Naked Burger uses Grass-Fed Dry-Aged Piedmontese Beef which is tasty and juicy. Their buns are yummy too! Old school quality and amazing flavor so worth it!Vegetarian options: They have many fresh ingredients to almost make what you request.Dietary restrictions: GF buns,VG MARKED ITEMS“
