For many people, happy hour comes down to what you get for your money, and not necessarily if the food is incredibly good. Let’s face it, if you’ve had 2-3 drinks, the food won’t be your primary focus. There were a lot of votes in this category, but so many places were nominated, only the first two had a large majority. I’m listing the top ten to give you an idea of some other places to try. I’ve also listed the time of the happy hour, but double check the website, as they tend to be highly variable.

My favorite: Tasty n Sons. Lots of food, low prices. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to get a table.

Warning, Ruth’s Chris puts the calories on the menu. It can be a major buzz-kill. ;)
