Description

Idle Hour is a little-town dive bar with historic charm, reliable comfort food and a full bar that hosts occasional live music. Guests praise friendly, speedy service, wheelchair accessibility and ample free parking, with standouts like spicy cheese balls and an often-praised steak at budget prices. Expect a casual, local crowd and accessible facilities — but note a limited menu and occasional inconsistency with burgers, especially on takeout.

Cute little bar and grill. Love that you can add appetizers as a side for only$1.00. Spicy cheese balls were amazing. Very quiet on a Wednesday late afternoon. Speedy service, stayed on top of refills. Very friendly. Came back the next round so I added more menu item pictures. Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

My husband is working near Anthony so I came to visit in May. We ate lunch at Idle Hour and the chicken wrap was the best wrap I have ever ate. Usually they are dry but OMG this was so moist and delicious! Well, I am back and this Sunday is our 24 year anniversary. We are heading to Idle this Saturday for their famous steak dinner and to celebrate. The folks who were working, last time, were awesome! Very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed it so much we came back for dessert after our motorcycle ride that day. Iam literally waiting for them to open today, so I can snag another wrap
