The Hook & Ladder Bar and Grill

Great spot for breakfast and he service was excellent. Try the Eggs Benny. The atmosphere is neat and you'll find yourself browsing all of the pics and memorabilia on the walls.

Had their chicken wings cooked perfectly hats off to the chef. Great service thx again

Spent 35 minutes waiting. Other folks came in after and got food. I left without anything after ordering and waiting for 35 minutes. Pizzas are too difficult. Bathrooms had no toilet paper or way to dry your hands. Thanks for nothing. Didn’t even get to try the food. This was in a restaurant with only four other people sitting in it. Two came in minutes after me. Wasted an hour of time on this. Thanks !! I’ll be sending you my bill for wasting my time.

Decent food, fun atmosphere, and good wait staff.

Fast, friendly and delicious meal. Everything is freshly made.

Fun themed eatery, fire trucks, fire service gear, patches and decor everywhere!

Great place, and thank you for the 1st Responder theme. Next time I'm in, I'll get you a Britt & Area Fire Depatment patch.

Small clean firehouse themed family type breakfast spot, not too many choices in Bala and I really like supporting small family businesses. But only one server on a Sunday morning, friendly but makes a point to tell everyone who enters how over worked she is. Pretty pricey for just regular order of eggs, toast, sausage, bacon and diced hash browns.

A couple of bones to pick:
1/ They serve breakfast til 1PM but charge an extra $1.50 after 11. Seems nickel and diming the customer but whatever.
2/ They don't tell you til the bill comes but rye toast is an extra $1.50 too.
Taken together, two things we an extra 12 or our party of 4 plus tax and tip. $16 extra seems excessive
3/ Considering your spending $17 a plate for a normal breakfast (plus the above) the portion of hash browns you get is remarkably tiny. I mean if nothing else, pile the 30 cents of potatoes up a bit.

Service was good, just doesn't seem like good value, our bill was $120 and we only had coffee.

Great little restaurant! An icon of Bala!

So, I ordered the burger, (the bellowing burger), for take out, along with two pizzas, ( by all reports the pizzas are excellent), (the servers were great and the service was quick). I have a dairy allergy so I ordered bacon no cheese. When I got the order back to the cottage I found it was cheese and no bacon.... I know a real first world problem, but maddening in that I just paid $19 + for it and I can't eat the frigging thing.

Overpriced, small portions.
