Yelp.com Review - by Corinne L.

4.0 of 5 stars. I haven't been here in over 4 years and I was jonesing for their chili. The Cincinnati chili is a little too salty for my liking but it had good kick that wasn't overpowering. I also had the Hard...

Yelp.com Review - by Su K.

3.0 of 5 stars. I haven't been back to this Hard Times in a long time. The last time was several years ago for the Wednesday wings happy hour. At that point, wings were $0.25/wing, instead of the $0.10/wing I was...

Yelp.com Review - by Linda T.

3.0 of 5 stars. Good place to go for drinks and good chili before going to an event at UMD. I love the Cincinnati Chili with cheddar cheese and sour cream on the side. The cornbread can be hit and miss, sometimes...

Yelp.com Review - by Stephanie L.

1.0 of 5 stars. Aw hell naw. The chili will give you the runs for days and leave you wondering if the chefs put laxatives in the food for fun. The first time was bad. Very bad. But I thought, well, nobody else...

Love their Chili by L S. at InsiderPages

This place has great chili and foot long hot dogs. Try the onion rings too. They even have vegitarian chili. The place is decorated like the west and the staff friendly.

Yelp.com Review - by J. R. H.

4.0 of 5 stars. Four stars (almost five), four words - chili, wings, and happy hour. Here's a place for a full range of locals and the college crowd that doesn't pretend to be something its not--hence the name. HTC...

Yelp.com Review - by Deva J.

2.0 of 5 stars. No. Wing night was an absolute bust. I've never had worse chicken wings. They were drowned in whatever sauce I ordered and not at all appetizing. It kinda ruined my potential love for the place. I do...

Yelp.com Review - by Jack F.

3.0 of 5 stars. Unpretentious, leisurely, and laid back. Hard Times Cafe ("HTC") is the type of restaurant where I don't really care about the food. If the food's not quite up to my usual standards, that's fine...

Good Food, Spotty Service

I love the chili, the different types are great. Get a Cincinnati five way with pasta, chili, beans, cheese, and onions or any mix of the above. The service was very good one time I was there but another time...

Hardly a place I'd go again, even if I fell on hard times...

We had heard so much about this place, and its chili..... Perhaps the waitress misunderstood me. The plate I was served was not chili at all, but rather a bowl of grease with ground beef in it.. no ...
