| - My first visit but not my last.
I've driven by The Haymarker Restaurant dozens of times but have never stopped, that is until tonight. As you walk into The Haymaker you can't help but admire the decor. The decor is very patriotic and respectful of our American values.
I thought we might be in for a long wait, as the restaurant was packed. However, we were seated within a few minutes. For being as busy as it was, our waiter, Javier was excellent and attentive.
The Haymaker has an impressive selection of whisky and beers. The whiskey list is impressive with selections I have never heard of such as Monkey Shoulder. The beer selection was very diverse with several local micro brewers represented.
I couldn't decide what entrée to choose so with a recommendation from Javier, I choose the fish and chips. The fish was absolutely delicious and flaky. The fish was light, crunchy, cooked perfectly, and served hot with the best homemade tater sauce and seasoned french fries in town. My dinner companion had the Grown Up Grilled Cheese, and ribbies and commented that both entrées were awesome.
The entrée portions at Haymaker are large, enough for two. You will not leave The Haymaker hungry. Even after finishing our large dinner we decided to have dessert. So we ordered a serving of bread pudding that was also large enough for two. The bread pudding was some of the best bread pudding I have ever had.
All during our meal we were checked on and during dessert the owner/manger stopped by and asked us about our dining experience.
Haymaker is definitely on our list of restaurants to visit again. We will definitely be back, during happy hour (4-7 pm) when the craft beers are 1/2 price.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Haymaker to anyone for either breakfast, lunch, or dinner. As an added benefit, The Haymaker Restaurant is not a chain but is locally owned, and that's always an added incentive.
