Yelp.com Review - by Mike T.

3.0 of 5 stars. Hard Times is a reliable choice when you need a chili fix. Unfortunately, you'll have to put up with a pretty noisy place to go with it. While nothing is great here, the best thing to get is the...

3.0 of 5 stars. Plenty of pool tables to shoot around and a remodeled sports bar with HD screens for various viewers. A plus for being able to accommodate a large crowd of sports fans, pool players, and people dining...

Yelp.com Review - by Ricky D.

3.0 of 5 stars. It's a place to play pool, which is cool if you're in Fairfax county, but I didn't really like the vibe. It's weirdly isolating in a way. Also, they promised us dollar bottles, but it turned out to...

3.0 of 5 stars. This is the location that has the pool tables on the second floor, which is a plus for my pool-playing friends. I've been to this branch lots of times for lunch, and went there for lunch today. We...

Yelp.com Review - by Amy S.

2.0 of 5 stars. So this rating is for the billiard part of Hard Times, not the dining. Vibe is cool and all, but you would think the lady bartenders would be a little friendlier, or would at least tell me about...

Chili And Billiards

This location of the popular Hard Times Cafe is also a Cue Club. So after you've enjoyed your chili mac, you can head to the back room and play some pool!

This is my husband's favorite restaurant and we bring our daughters all the time. Order the texas style wings, grilled, and you'll have the best wings ever.

We love to go to Hard Times with our kids. The atmosphere is upbeat so the occassional outburst from a child is not disruptive! The food is great!
