| - I've had a range of experiences here, from being virtually ignored by staff due to a glut of customers to finding ourselves overwhelmed by staff presence and attention. In either case, the food has always been the shining star.
Recently, we found ourselves with 2 of our friends' kids on a Sunday at lunchtime and were wondering where we could satisfy both of their taste requirements and find something for us as well. Right away, I thought of Hawthorne's. It's very kid-friendly and delicious.
When we arrived, our drink orders were taken swiftly (it was before noon and the crowd hadn't begun to flood in yet). We bargained with our server for a super custom salad for our 4th grader (small house salad with added bacon, salami, huge shreds of cheddar cheese and ranch), and settled on a large cheese pizza for the rest of us.
When my young friend's salad arrived, I was astonished at how beautiful it was and she was completely thrilled with its ingredients. I don't know where they get their ranch dressing, but it was REALLY good.
As for the pizza, they double cut it so it would have small pieces for our 6-year-old. Flavor was perfect and texture was on point.
For a huge pizza, custom salad and soft drinks for everyone, we skated by with a $25 tab. Not too shabby, if you ask me! When I was consulting the table as to the proper tip amount, my 4th grade friend exclaimed, "Give him 10! He got me an awesome salad!"
We agreed.
Thanks, Hawthorne's. Home run.
