Had a wonderful experience at HUB Restaurant & Ice Creamery. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, and the service was excellent. We ordered burgers which were delicious and perfectly prepared. The drink selection was great - we enjoyed some sodas and I particularly liked their Hazy IPA. The restaurant offers a nice blend of casual dining with quality food and attentive service. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our meal. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for good burgers in a pleasant setting with great service.

The food was excellent! Perfectly prepared prime rib and the horseradish sauce was amazing. The chocolate truffles we were presented as a surprise were outstanding. Everything about our dinner out for our anniversary felt special.

They have changed the menu and got rid of a lot of things including cocktails and appetizers I use to order from here. The menu is now very limited. The serve was not good. Our waiter did not offer us water when we sat down. He did not come and check on us. We had to keep flagging him down.
