| - I found this place on Yelp and had it bookmarked for a while as a place to try. My wife and I looked over the menu online and decided that it sounded good. We went with some friends for lunch, around 1:30 or so. As we walked in the place looked like a nice sports bars. Several TV's for viewing games, two games rooms with things such as shuffleboard and air hockey, a large selection of beers (both bottle and tap), it was clean, I really hoped to like this place. Our friends ordered the pretzel basket as an appetizer. This was definitely the highlight of the meal. The pretzels were soft and warm and came with two dipping sauces. There were five enormous pretzels in the basket! While we were waiting for the pretzels a man came to our table with a little iron skillet of cornbread. He said that he was told that this was our first visit and he wanted to give us something compliments of The Hub. This was a total surprise and very cool. He stood there and talked to us for a while, made suggestions and welcomed us to the "family". The cornbread was not very good at all, greasy and way overdone, but thanks anyway, it was a very nice gesture. As I stated, the pretzels were awesome. Myself and one of our friends had the Arizona Smoked wings, which came highly recommended by the waitress and the manager. She got hers naked with the sauce on the side, I did not. She loved her wings, they were nice and crisp and had great flavor. Mine on the other hand, not so crispy. The smoke flavor was perfect and the hot sauce tasted like nothing more than Frank's hot sauce. It was almost like the sauce had been sitting on the wings to long. The meat was falling off of the bones and they had that over-baked slimy feeling. I know that when wings have sauce on them they sometimes get soggy but not like mine were. Our other friend had the pork taquitos. He said that they were good but would of preferred corn tortillas and not flour. My wife had the H.F.C. She said the idea was great, but the execution fell well short. The mashed potatoes that were in the bottom of the bowl were nothing more than a dry baked potato that had been smashed in the bottom of the bowl. The gravy was very thin and lacked flavor. The chicken strips on top were a little burnt, greasy and had no flavor. Our waitress was ok. She was attentive but did forget a few things. The service overall was slow and there were not that many people in there. It also took a long time to get the food. I really wished we would have liked this place more.
