    On one of the busiest nights we popped in last minute. Had a 1/2 hr wait and we were so impressed by the service as we watched the Incredible staff navigated to accommodate all the reservations. All while keeping the high standard of food and presentation. Ryan our server was fantastic. With smiles all around I commend the team for their professionalism. Cheers.

    Amazing service from an amazing gentleman, brought my sober boyfriend a NA shot for his birthday, and myself one to take with him. We really enjoyed our steak & fries - the steak was delicious and tender. Great selection of beers to choose from as well. We had an amazing night and ended up getting engaged about an hour after leaving. Joey is now going to be a very special place for us. Thank you <3

    My wife and I went to Hawskworth for the first time (Me it was my second visit) and were throughly impressed. Service was attentive and the food very delicious, well prepared and warm. This is a restaurant that we will patronize. We went to Hawsworth to celebrate Valentine's day and my wife birthday and they brought a nice surprise of delicious home made candies. We felt welcomed the moment we stepped into Hawksworth.
