Q: negative

A: Um.... I was scolded by the bouncer here for trying to take a cell phone picture of my wife in front of a wall of shoes.

Q: negative

A: If you want to surround yourself with a bunch of douchebags wearing Ed Hardy-esque clothing, enough hair gel to set the place on fire, and too much cologne, then El Hefe is the place to be! That, however, is not my taste. I can't comment on the food because, after spending one Saturday night drinking there, I have never wanted to go back. Plus, I can't imagine trying to eat while inhaling all of the aforementioned cologne. I'll stick to DJ's, my "dive bar" down the street, thank you.

Q: negative

A: I'm actually kind of floored that there are ANY decent reviews of this place. It is DIRTY. The stations have clearly not been cleaned in a long time. The UV light machine where I put my hands to dry...I was kind of retching a little. Greasy and grimy and with actual layers of other people's dead skin cells. Seriously disgusting. On top of that, the gal who did my nails did this very creative filing job where my nails were u-shaped. U-shaped. Not kidding. Looked like a little elf had taken a bite out of the end of each nail. I have no idea who taught this girl this technique. Perhaps this is a new fad somewhere in the world. I was so floored that I just paid, went home and filed my nails, and have never returned since. I would like to reiterate how dirty this place is. I had "HEALTH HAZARD" flashing in my head in red lights the whole time, and I'm not very high maintenance about that kind of stuff. I can't believe I didn't just get up and go. I think I was too shocked. Blech. Never again.

Q: positive

A:
The service and food was wonderful. I had the corn beef and hash and a cup of coffee for brunch. The corn beef wasn't the typical canned beef and it was top of the line meat! Nicely flavored beef indeed :) And the coffee surprisingly want the usually weak diner coffee. Over all very pleased!
