   Had a fun night celebrating St Patricks Day! It was very busy, but the service was great and our food came out quickly. The corned beef dinner and hamburgers were delicious!

   Server wasn’t overly friendly. Didn’t offer anything for my kids, drink wise, etc. They had NO options for kids, it was so strange! Hackney burger was truly a burger patty in-between two giant pieces of rye bread. Lettuce, small tom, onion on the side. For $19?! Rueben rolls were cold. Food was not good for the price. We asked for two slices of pie to go, and the server didn’t seem happy. We normally love it here but for St Patty’s weekend, major disappointment! We did love the bag pipers though, that was amazing!

   Taking into account that St. Patrick’s Day weekend is a busy time at Hackney’s there is NO excuse why waited over an hour for any food. While we were waiting, we saw other tables that were seated AFTER us get what appeared to be the exact same food we ordered. When our appetizer finally arrived, we expressed our displeasure with the service and the “manager” immediately offered to comp our meal. It was an unfortunate experience at one of our favorite restaurants.

    Food was so good. Had the new Smash Burger for lunch and it was delicious! The place is gearing up for St. Patrick's Day with shamrock decor and we had an Irish coffee after our meal to kick off the season! Our server was attentive and so nice and we noticed the great new tables and updated streamlined menus. We are regulars there so enjoying all the upgrades that have happened. Can't go wrong with lunch or dinner here. Plenty of space and tables to accomodate large groups. Also very kid friendly. For a fun, casual restaurant with friendly staff and great food Hackney's is the place. And don't for get to order the old classics like the onion loaf and the Hackney burger on dark rye!!
