Hink's Bar & Grill

Listed on a book run. Stopped there on a Monday for a Reuben Sandwich. The best Reuben I ever had. Homemade Potatoe Salad (delicious). Root Beer on tap with a chilled glass. Met the owner, nice fellow. If you're in the area, don't miss it.

I've lived here for quite awhile, but have never gone to Hink's. On a whim, I decided to check it out for lunch.

Hink's was very much what I expected decor-wise. Wood paneling, dark, harley memorabilia -- a real townie bar. Depsite having a no smoking law in effect for years, the place seemed to still have that old smoke smell.

Several locals sat at the bar sipping drinks in the middle of the afternoon. Some were quietly sipping my themselves, others were a bit more talkative, conversing about who is marrying who, and other town gossip.

There was one bar tender, who was also the waiter. The orders are "phoned in" to the basement where I assume the kitchen is. When the order is ready the food is delivered via a dumbwaiter and a light goes off. This process was very amusing for me.

The sandwich I ordered (forgot name) had grilled chicken, bacon and cheese on a pretzel roll. It was actually a pretty decent sandwich, better than I expected.

The fries were ho-hum. I prefer PJ's fries over these frozen ones.

Since I am comparing it to PJ's (Court House Tavern), I'd have to say that it is a step down from PJ's, but a step up from MVPs food-wise.

We didn't do drinks, but they had a decent selection of beers on tap. I assumed they'd only have PBR and Miller Light, but they had some decent brews in the line-up. Nice job.

While not exactly our cup of tea (overall), I would go back for a sandwich sometime.

I love this bar!
The food is always absolutely delicious, the bartenders are great and the atmosphere is just awesome. I feel at home here, and it is definitely my favorite bar in the area.
