      Learned a lesson. When you're the only customer all afternoon there days expenses are divided by one. Most expensive afternoon drink I've ever had.

      Zero stars. Dump is putting it nicely.
      If you think chump actually won the election or you're married to your cousin then this place is for you.
      Dirty beer lines, crappy food and it literally smells.
      I love dive bars but this place is nasty

      Huge place with different rooms that look like they haven't changed since the 1950s. Friendly bartender. Ok wings. Nice outdoor area but it wasn't open when we went. Jukebox was on. Not much else to say. Definitely a place for the dive bar aficionado.

      Apostrophe misuse!

      As decent bars go, this place is a shit-hole. That's ok I suppose since it's a dive bar, so let me restart.

      As dive bars go, this place is a shit-hole. Seriously. Apart from being very biker welcoming I can't think of a single thing I liked about the place. Shit beer selection that has clearly been sitting around way too long as the taps were dishing out flat beer. Food items, even the deep fried shit you expect to get at a joint like this, are straight from the supermarket freezer and into a deep fryer, with very little care taken to ensure they don't include hair or are heated thoroughly. The environment is about what you'd expect from a dive in the middle of nowhere....
      For me the real kicker was actually the bartender. There were only a handful of people in the place, us being the only non-regulars, and I got to listen to a lengthy diatribe about those "Greedy Mexican landscapers" who just want "all the money with none of the effort".

      Not for nothing....shut your mouth and go pour me a beer. You're a bartender. I don't particularly care if you're a racist ass, I just want you to bring me beer and when it's empty, bring me another one. That's not so hard is it?

      On the good side, the place's wifi router is wide the hell open - default passwords and all. I didn't do anything more than look, but have fun to those who are more nefariously minded.

      Hillbilly Hall is like one of those nightmares that you're not quite sure how to feel about. It wasn't necessarily scary, but you'd still classify it as a nightmare. Only real reason to go there is to marvel at the men's bathroom graffiti.

      Waitress/bartender/only employee visible was nice though.

      We've been here a few times, the most memorable being the pig roast last autumn, in which we dressed our 1 month old as a bear.

      It's a tavern that caters to the biker crowd, with decent food (medium rare is medium rare, though the fries were a little soggy and the French dip wasn't great) and cold drinks. On a hot summer day, what you really want is a great cold drink, with something to soak up the alcohol, and this place wins.

      It's not as hip as Zeitgeist in San Francisco, but it doesn't need to be.

      No one here is pretentious and it's really laid back and comfortable. If your baby's sock falls off, someone will let you know.

      Oddly family friendly, though I don't think I'll take my baby back once it gets dark out, though it's definitely the type of place I'd love to go to if I wanted some real shots (not silly, girly shots, btw).

      4 beers and 2 entrees set us back $30, including tax and tip, while the pig roast, with all sides included, was about $10/head for fantastic pulled pork+all sides (all you could eat), with tap beer ~$2-4/ice cold pint.

      This place was disgusting. The bartender was the waitress/hostess/server/cook. I should of known better than to stay there, the parking lot was empty. There was only one table in the entire place filled. Hubby and I decided to stay and try it anyway, they were out of practically everything on the menu. We ended up with nasty potato skins, I think they were frozen shoprite brand thrown in the fryer. Slow service, flat beer, juke box was disconnected. I don't understand how they can say open? I can honestly say this was the worst establishment we have ever been to.

      Every so often I watch a bit of Kitchen Nightmares and I wonder if it's actually legitimate...like seriously how could a place so bad stay in business?

      Well, I found one. The waitress advised that they are known for their reubens - I ordered one. What I received was a greasy pile of corned beef with what looked like...maybe a mixture of some type of cheese and sauce on top of it, with no bread to be seen. I stuck my fork under the pile and lifted it up and initially thought that I was just given a pile of meat with stuff on it. Another look proved otherwise - there was a single slice of bread that was completely and thoroughly soaked through with whatever water/grease/liquid that was there. I would have had a much more pleasant (and less expensive) meal if I had gone to any number of chain fast food restaurants.

      The fries were alright, though!

      First to Review

      HILLBILLY HALL, yes, that's truly the name of this place, tucked in the woods of the Sourland Mountains, up above the town of Hopewell. God this place is a gem. And I'm so pleased to be the first to review.

      Hillbilly Hall is a restaurant and bar. The bar area features a huge square bar, pool table, popcorn machine, darts and video games. The bartenders are always very friendly and attentive, even if you're not a regular. And they make nice, strong cocktails. The hamburgers this place serves up are amazing. The rest of the food is decent enough.

      Every Tuesday is country line dancing - hee haw! - and karaoke on Fridays. They also host a bunch of various events throughout the year including pig roasts, prime rib nights and live bands.

      You'll find a lot of bikers, hunters and local-yokels hanging here. The crowd, well, it's Hillbilly Hall. What do you expect? But don't be intimidated by the name, everyone is welcome. Seriously, check it out.
