Was Christina Levan at Hinkle's a mag?
This restaurant is amazing! It has a roomy layout with tables placed at a comfortable distance apart. The food is delightful, and the service is excellent. There's also a shop named Murphy's Mercantile, which has a diverse selection of unique gifts for everyone, including plants! On top of that, they offer a variety of candies and have an ice cream parlor. I will certainly be coming back! View all feedback.

What Racer One dislikes about Hinkle's:
The menu prices were on the higher side. I used to come here because it was budget-friendly, but that seems to have changed. Overall, the service was good, and the atmosphere was fantastic. For context, I had breakfast there, which cost around $10-20 per person. Here’s my rating: Food: 2, Service: 4, Atmosphere: 5. View all feedback.

First class pharmacy, wonderful selection in the gift shop, and incredibly good food. Be sure to try the malted milkshakes!

The servers/staff were very helpful and nice. The gift shop is huge but sans some candy/baked goods, it ex,exactly that. A gift shop/ store. Not trying to be petty but you would think they would have more Hinkle's oriented merch. The food was not great. I get it I ordered a 20$ steak but, this thing was terrible. I ate a few bites and threw it out. The honey BBQ wings were very good though. Mac and cheese was mid grade. I got a tiny amount of fries and a small scoop of corn. This was taken off the bill but I didn't eat it or ask for another. Forgetaboutit.. 2 in the Hinkle's 3 in the stinkles.
