Hard Times Cafe has the best food of its kind in Raleigh. Period. Always fresh and tasty. The burgers are the best in Raleigh, entree salads are outstanding. I'm sad to hear that some find the service questionable. I feel it is far better than most places I've eaten in this city. I've worked in food service, and at least the servers at the Hard Times Cafe appear to be working. For some reason, it's hard to get good service in Raleigh. Most places I've seen, the servers stand around and watch TV/smoke/huddle and talk and can't be bothered to do much else.
Pros: food is best of its kind

I have been to this place 4 times. Two times when they were busy, two times when they had no one there. GREAT AMAZING WONDERFUL CHILI, except you may not be able to enjoy it from all the animosity you have against the wait staff/host. It takes forever to be seated even if the place is empty. The orders [drinks etc] do not always come out the way you wanted them to. Don't even try to "eat-in" if you are a family with young children. They can't seem to understand or accommodate more then one high chair. The place must be tried at least once because their chili really is incredible [other things there so/so to mediocre i.e. ribs, chicken fingers etc...] I will definitely go back to this place but I will never do eat-in again.
Pros: Chili, Any of the 4 they serve
Cons: SERVICE SERVICE SERVICE SERVICE SERVICE
