Great service! Almost missed the Monday special ($1 pizza and $2.50 drafts), but they went ahead and served us anyway. We also noshed on meatballs and broccoli - all I can say is all of the food was deceivingly delicious. I woud normally never, ever order plain cheese pizza but for a buck you literally cannot go wrong, but in this case it was AWESOME too. We have had the meatballs and broccolli before (both things I would have never ordered on my own, my wife wanted them) and in both cases, AWESOME again!
Here's where they don't get 5 stars. They DO have a couple of local beers on tap, but of the couple that they do, they are very safe and tame choices. The rest of the beer menu is large brewery junk beer. Whoever is in charge of beer for Hawthornes should be fired immediately. It should not take a rocket scientist to realize they are behind the curve. I hope they correct this oversight sometime soon, because while the food is great I probably won't be back until they are serving better beers.
