Wild Hare American Bar & Grill

👍👍 First time I have been here, will not be the last. Place was busier than I anticipated, but it was a good sign. I had the bacon burger and the wife had the Boss Bowl and the food was fantastic. Beer battered fry's were great too. Our meals and a couple drinks each, plus tip, less than $60
