I honestly have no idea how they have such a low rating. Prolly bc people in this town are so selfish they want to keep it all to themselves. My salad was so fresh, chopped thoughtfully (bite size), the shrimp was fire. It was the shrimp and corn salad. My husband got the pesto chicken and he loved it also. Definitely want to go back and get more. Great quick service and clean seats table and bathrooms. Also big space might be cool for small events and business meetings too. Location very close to the courthouse prolly the best food you can get around that part of the 101. Great vibes and prices not too bad. Oh! Also my tortilla strips were like freshly fried and hot YUM

My first time going, heard great reviews, had to try out. I got spicy steak taco, was perfect! My wife got the fried fish tacos! She loved it! We got a side order of bacon gouda fries, they were amazing! The food was very fresh, the seasoning they put on the fries is really good! The food came right out and piping hot! The atmosphere is really great, I love the decor! The food is a little on the expensive side, but for the quality of food and atmosphere and service I received it was a bargain! I will definitely come again! The only negative remark i would half to say is turn up the heat a little bit, kinda cold in there!

This place never disappoints! Service is always quick, food is always cooked to perfection, and the music and vibes are always uplifting. The mushroom garlic chicken pasta is one of my favorite dishes, and you can never go wrong with any burgers on the menu! They’ve been doing breakfast in the weekends for a little while now as well. The loaded tots, hood biscuits and gravy, and the country fried steak is amazing!

This was an awesome location for our lunch/dinner choice! Service was great, timely and professional. The food was cooked to perfection. My Ceasar was dressed perfectly, my ribeye was cooked precisely to medium, the mashed potatoes were great (I did add a little salt), and I ca NOT rave enough about the onion rings. Battered in house to order, large portion, clean bite though the sweet onion. My wife got the Good Burger, cooked exactly as she ordered it, peppered bacon was crispy and thick. She loved it. Dessert was a brownie ala mode, decadent and delicious.

The Hood has time and time again blown me away! Firstly, their staff is absolute amazing. They're kind, attentive, and friendly and it's always great being around their positive upbeat energy. Secondly, the food is amazing and frankly unmatched. My friends and I have had their pasta, burgers, salads, tacos, and appetizers and it's been 5 stars across the board on all! My personal favorites are their BBQ chicken salad and the sweet & spicy fries for an appetizer. There is definitely something for everyone here, even if you want to just stop in for a beer and watch the games. It's a really good vibe!

Cash is king here. The Chicken Pineapple Burger and onion rings were awesome. Great atmosphere. When up there in that area, I'll make a point to get some more.

Food was delicious. Solid choice if you are looking for a good meal. Creative spins on traditional items, but not too over the top. Service was excellent. Would go back next time I am in town.

Came across this place during the small business Saturday, and the Eureka snowball drop. Really cool and fussy place. Breakfast tacos were amazing, Bacon Gouda fries are not to be missed. Definitely recommend starting your night off with some wings to set the vibe right. Overall, outstanding place...definitely coming back when we are in town.
