There was a time this was a place to come, get a nice fast bowl of chilli that has a good taste. Apparently no longer. We waited close to 30 minutes for a bowl...did they grind the meat...nope cause the food was like warm had no real flavor. The server was MIA, it was all

Smoking is no bueno. Avoid at all costs if you hate inhaling cigarette smoke. Even the "separate" area without smoke has smoke. Smh. It wouldn't surprise me if the cooks smoked as they prepared peoples food.

Chili was the only thing that was good here. The fries were awful, super greasy. Burger and fish sandwich just meh. Took forever to get our food (Thursday night) and just as long to finally get our check. Ridiculous. Definitely not returning.
This Cincy-bred boy finally had a 5-way today, brings back great memories of the Big Red Machine and Bengal Super Bowl teams (someday we'll win one!) Been too long!!

Wasn't here for a very long time. Place looked the same as I remembered it, but the bartenders told me I was looking at a complete make-over. Well, now ?. But the thing that wasn't changed was the great service, friendly staff, and that rough-neck type of bar feel that Hardtimes has ALWAYS had. How do I know? I know because I'm a beer ? drinkin' ROUGH-NECK BABY!!!!?????????????????

Love Hard Times. I’m not a cheese on my coney kinda gal, weird, I know, however it was made with cheddar and at first I balked, it was carry out, then I tried and was pleasantly surprised I enjoyed so much!We were in VA for a hockey tourney and the locations in MD close to me are no longer, when I looked out my window and saw this beautiful sign, ahhhh. Ordered more than I needed and enjoyed my leftovers!

Chili and chili Mac we're on point, as always. We got the Texas tenders also. Unfortunately we each took a bite and didn't eat anymore of them. They tasted like they were cooked in really dirty old grease.
Very pleasant dinner.Parking: Follow the arrows.
