I have a real soft spot for Hem's. Even though they changed the special from half price to $5 (admittedly a marginal change in most cases, but still) the food deals offered from 11-noon and 2-4 are a great bargain. The food is always better than I expect. The spinach and artichoke dip is the best I've ever had, with fresh fried pita wedges, and the Buffalo chicken wrap, while perhaps not "extreme" as the menu claims, is great. I also enjoy their daily $2.50 draft specials. Recently they've offered Southern Tier Live on Wednesdays, and a good Raging Dog blood orange IPA on Saturdays. You really can't beat a 7% draft for $2.50. The service is very hit or miss. If your bartender is chatting up someone at the bar, you can be waiting a loooooong time for a refill, or your check. But for the prices and the generally good food and drink, it's worth the risk.
