Hard Times Cafe

This is a chili place. If you come and don't order their chili, what are you doing, really?

I like mine on the mild side, so I get their Cincinnati Chili Mac. Pasta and chili always go together well.

Rustic atmosphere with Elvis, Dolly Parton and others crooning over the airwaves.

Don't expect anything fancy, but do expect a warm and cozy place to get a good beer, and a belly full of hot chili.

Love this place and come here often, but 2 out of 3 of us requested tots instead of fries (which I recommend for everyone to do), but they were completely out of tots. What a bummer. We weren't even compensated for this disappointment.

Great flavors of chili. Texas, Cincinnati, red Texas, and vegetarian. We loved them all. The homemade cornbread was delicious. The only thing I would have liked better were the beans to be cooked longer. They were too hard when biting into them. I had the five-way chili. Absolute delicacy!

The best coffee in the area... Highly recommended. I would go again there when I come back. The place is so cozy and welcoming. The waiters are the nicest ever. There coffee is so much better than Starbucks.

If I had the ability to give more than 5 stars, I would. The chili is incredible. The service was great. And the 4 layer blueberry cake was out of this world. I will definitely be a repeat customer and I will recommended this place to my friends.
