In Short
Named after the hardware store that previously held the space, the Ballard outpost of Linda Derschang's empire (the savvy woman behind Linda's and Chop Suey) keeps with its turn-of-the-century roots. The inside has a frontier vibe, with plenty of stuffed animal heads, wagon wheel lamps, a saloon-style bar and black-and-white photo decor. Big wooden booths line the walls, the jukebox is always in play and the sprawling outside deck sees plenty of action.

eh..... mediocre at best. The patty was dry, overcooked and really quite tasteless. We had 9 people in our group and we all felt the same about the burgers. But, I dig the joint, it feels good has a cool vibe and the waitress was fantastic. I'll try the burger again if I'm in the neighborhood but I'm not driving out there again for that one, there are better ones out there to be had, but I am willing to consider that it may have been a fluke, off night.

When our friends came into town but we couldnt drive to our planned holiday party because of weather--we knew we had to take them to King's so after slushing thru the snow in the cold it was great to find them open. King's saved Christmas! a warm and welcome oasis. The kitchen was closed but the awesome staff had big plates of homemade cookies for everyone. After many, many drinks and too much skee ball we managed to slip and slide all the way on our walk home.
