  Awful service. Bartender was visibly drunk and rude.  Could not recommend this place less.

  It's a local, dark, keno-filled bar.  If that's my whole review that's pretty accurate.
  
  The details though help save it.  It has older decor (80's 90's) but it's all in good condition.  Older sports posters on the wall are nice to look at and think back to your childhood.  We literally got a bunch of funny looks when we walked in there at 1pm for lunch (groupon).  Few people at the bar, most of which who would walk behind the bar to help themselves, and a few booths had people or recently had people in them (still dirty).
  
  The food wasn't bad.  Good menu with lots of choices.  I got the stuffed burger special which was really two McDonald's quality burger patties with a small amount of bacon inbetween.  Buns were your cheapo burger buns from the supermarket.  Unmemorable and dry.  But for 5.95 it's not horrible as it comes with smashed potatoes as well.  Smashed potatoes are just that, red bliss potatoes that look like they have been hit with a hammer and coated in cheese.
  
  My wife had the coney dogs which were average.  Also 5.95 for two plus smashed potatoes.
  
  Bass was on special for $3 a pint and the rest of the beers looked to be $3.50/pint.  Not bad.
  
  The waitress/bartender was very friendly and quick.  No complaints on the service.
  
  There was a shuffleboard there where it has a long bowling alley type surface with sand and small pucks that you slide.  Plenty of TVs so probably a good place to watch a game.  No IPA on draft or bottle, big minus for me but maybe you don't care.  Also a heated smoking cuddy outside which is nice if you smoke.  The area is very industrial and the parking lot is fairly small.
  
  With the Groupon it was a decent place to stop for lunch but I don't see myself going back there at night although if someone was really dying to go I wouldn't fight it, at least stop in for a drink or two before moving on.

  I like Hi-Tops because it's a "regulars" bar. It's a great place to go, watch a game and catch-up with friends. One waitress could be a little friendlier and doesn't act like she has a personal issue against you, lol but besides that, it's a great place and they have good bar food.

  Pretty unassuming place-I've been maybe 4 times in the past year.
  
  Good food, good drinks and good prices! The nachos are yummy, as are the burgers. I've never ordered the pizza but every time I see someone else get it I tell myself 'next time!' because it looks great.

  Shuffleboard is back!!  Nice!  I'm restoring my 4 stars here.  There are some good prices on burgers here as well.  I had the turkey burger with fries on this particular visit and both were very good.  They also offer beef quarter pounders, 1/3 pounders,and 1/2 pound burgers.  All are very inexpensive and go great with one of the 10 or so beers on tap!

  I should start this review by stating that I've only ever been to Hi-Tops for lunch during the week.
  
  I can't remember exactly why I first visited this bar. My co-workers and I (in nearby Ferndale) are always looking for a new lunch spot that's cheap and close to the office. Maybe I suggested we go there for lunch one day? That was probably it, because my co-diners don't know the area as well as I do. I had heard that they had good burgers.
  
  So, I've been a semi-regular for maybe six months.
  
  In addition to a list of specials (food and drink) that changes daily, Hi-Tops has a regular weekday lunch special: $1.50 quarter-pound burgers. I can't honestly say if cheese is included, but I know pickles and grilled or raw onions are included in that price.
  
  We've had occasional problems in the past with the (mostly stellar) staff's service, but the owners immediately fixed those problems once they heard about them from other bartenders. And consequently, we met the owners, who are really cool. They even gave us a $10 gift certificate for our troubles.
  
  The burgers are excellent. I've also tried the half-pound burger, fish & chips (excellent beer batter), grilled cheese, Ham Slammy (their own version of Big Boy's Slim Jim, but with a ton more ham), and their Spicy Sicilian sandwich. The latter has great thick-cut bacon, and lots of ham and cheese.
  
  Nine times out of ten, the service has been fantastic, even when it's fairly busy.
  
  In addition to a typical bar (fully stocked with most things you'd ever want), they also have several 4-top tables and booths, as well as a large corner booth, jukebox, two video bar game machines, a couple of stand-up arcade games, a table-curling game (I know there's a more proper term for that - can't think of it right now), several TVs usually tunes to sports and news, and a pool table.
