   We love The Hardware Store! The staff are all so friendly and our Crab Louis salad was outstanding! More crab than we could eat!

   The best filet mignon in all my 59 years. Just the best! Good drinks too. Worth the splurge.

   We're new to the area, and we've tried The Hardware four times, but it just doesn't live up to the hype. New owner? That may be part of it, but they have some service issues. The teenagers manning the host desk are clueless and indifferent. The servers seem harried, either due to understaffing or an inefficient kitchen. The food is just so-so, and often over-cooked. An example is the fried chicken breast on my last visit, coming out rock hard. The mashed potatoes were excellent, despite the fact that the accompanying gravy wasn't on them, but on the plate, under the chicken. WTF? We've dined with five different table mates, and none have commented on their food beyond "it's OK", except for the dinner salad, which is unique and excellent.

   Always enjoy HS. Burger mediocre. Need larger bun. Fell apart, soggy, could be less vertical.

   Very impressed with the Valentine’s Day presentation at The Hardware Store. Picked them for this evening because I waited too long to get a V-Day reservation at the higher end places in Seatte or Tacoma, and there were openings at this place...so glad, the food & wine were very good, and the service impeccable. Very nicely impressed!

   We've eaten here for many, many years and have concluded that their food has gone down hill. The Buttermilk Fried Chicken, a staple there, was rubbery and had a strange texture to it. It was inedible and we sent it back to the kitchen. My spouse had already received her food so we didn't bother to wait for the replacement. Service was good and overall ambiance is energetic. We just can't overlook the mediocre to low quality of the food anymore.

    NYE. Good band. Too loud for small space though. Entrees arrived at different times so had to start eating ahead of our guests or wait and food got cold. Husband’s chicken tenders overcooked. My pork chop was delish!
