Everything was perfect and it was so nice to literally not worry once about the food. Which was a hit! Dan's family friends from Wisconsin said they have pig roasts up north all the time and that yours was by far the best pork they'd ever had. We could not be more pleased. And everything else was great too!

Great food, good atmosphere. We started coming here with my MIL a few years ago when she would visit. Her favorite food here is the 7 layer carrot cake. I like the ribs and sauces! The rest of the family like pretty much everything. Highly recommend!!

Service has always been great here at Hawthornes back yard. It’s a nice spot to come visit in summer days. The back yard is the spot- You can play basketball tack tack toe (yes, cool I know) , volleyball, a playground, live music. Wednesday is trivia night. Whenever my siblings are town I usually bring them here for a nice family vibe .

Great service, the bartender was a sweetheart. The kitchen wasn’t open yet and she made us some wings and cheese curds . Had a Long Island ice tea and it was very good. Would definitely recommend.

Great food and fun relaxing atmosphere. We had a party here in one of the outdoor tents celebrating a birthday and the staff went above and beyond. Thanks for getting our runaway balloons and for keeping up with all the drink orders! I wasn’t even home yet from after hosting this party at Hawthorne’s and I had texts on my phone from friends and family saying how fun the party was there !

Really awesome place. Tons of yard games (Giant beer pong , connect 4 basketball, corn hole, volleyball..)! I didn't order any food but my friends did and they enjoyed the nachos a lot. There are several gluten free beer options. They serve pitches and do trivia nights on Wednesdays!

Visited with a family of four on Saturday, late afternoon. The bar was hopping and the restaurant was quiet. Our server was obviously new and learning the menu, but he was friendly and welcoming.
The food was just ok. BLT Dip was fantastic (and the whole appetizer menu looked amazing). Grilled salmon was great, but brisket, cheese burger and Mac & cheese weren't anything special.
I would definitely return for bands, trivia or bingo, but won't rush back to the restaurant.

We had our wedding here 7 years ago. We were able to have our wedding on the back patio prior to them offering flooring for dancing. Everyone complimented the food and service. All honesty, I didn’t even see the food as socializing around the tables. They were great at serving the cake for us and making it a very memorable place for us to visit. Top notch when it came to food options for everyone and great open bar options. Our party liked to upgrade their drinks as well so I’m sure that the bartender we had loved that. Was grateful to have the wedding on the patio with a lace dress. Planning

Nice outside seating with small fire pit, sand volleyball and bags.
Live entertainment on Friday nights.
Prime Rib Sandwich, Pot Roast and Ruben are favorites.
Prices are fair and service is good.
