The last time I was there, we went for the 1/2 price pizza special on a Saturday. I was with my sister and parents. The place was VERY busy and finding a place to sit was difficult. We ordered the pizza and my father and I split a Combination (beef/sausage) sandwich with SWEET peppers. The pizza was pretty good. I would have said it was exceptional, but there just wasnt enough sauce on it and the garlic was on top of the cheese-NOT under...BUT, to each his own. The sandwich had HOT peppers on it, which my father couldnt handle. We sent it back and it came back pretty quick. Once he bit into it, it was obvious all the kitchen did was scrape off the peppers. All of the oil was still on it and his mouth started on fire. Funny if its your friend and youre playing a prank...not so funny though when its your 70+ year old father with a history of a heart condition. The waitress took it away and they made us another sandwich, That took the kitchen about 30 minutes, but it was pretty busy and they had to remake it. Still, I feel that was a little long. When the sandwich finally arrived, we were all pretty much ready to leave. I was still hungry, but I was also tired. My father was completely waterlogued, from trying to wash the fire out of his mouth. Because Ive been here a number of times and this was my worst dining experience there, I feel 4 stars may be a bit high, but 3 stars would be an insult to the friendly staff and the food. Someone else commented earlier about the Cheese Bread. Ive had the Cheese Bread...which is pretty much pizza with sauce on the side and really good! They also have all kinds of different thigs going on there. Of course every sporting event you can think of is showing, but they have attractions like "Pint Sized Brawlers", Volleyball, bands playing for various fundraisers (local person with huge medical bills was one I went to). Overall, dont expect Halftimes (a,k,a, 1/2X) to be top notch. Nobody there is going to cater to your every whim. It is a towny bar and everyone there seems to everyone else. For the most part, patrons and staff are overly friendly-even if they look a little rough. Plus, if you spill something on the floor...its no big deal.

Where do I begin? Rich, the owner, needs some lessons regarding customer satisfaction. Unsatisfied he said order from somewhere else. And Indeed I will. I ordered a beef sandwich, xdry, (bread) not beef (Duh! didnt want bread soup.) I got an 8+ inch roll with exactly 2.44oz of xdry crispy beef "jerky"(I have a precise kitchen scale). That 2.4 oz made way less than 1/4 of a sandwich (of xdry crispy beef jerky). I have vouchers for previous unacceptable food that I have never used. Unused because you know, spitting on your food and ......worse. This is, HANDS DOWN, THE WORST place, CONSISTENTLY, that we have ordered from.instead of the owners response of order somewhere else, I , as a manager myself would have sent over a replacement meal to satisfy a customer who has repeatedly been unsatisfied. I know it sounds like maybe I am never satisfied, not true, only with 1/2 Time. Consistently and repeatedly, They suck! Even my neighbor says its hit or miss. Sometimes OK, or Good or Sucks,you never know! We gave them a shot every 4-6 months after being dissatisfied only to be dissappointed again.

Five stars is what youll discover at Halftime Bar & Grill in Johnsburg as the pizza is SIMply FAN-TAS-Tic! The Halftime Staff works tirelessly each workday to produce the finest pizza on the (∞) table. Visualize enjoying the comradely in an atmosphere that entertains its patrons with song, neon signage 론♥♦ , and colorful sport murals on the walls & ceiling where totems of ♉ bulls, hawks, bears, and other iconic brands seem to play periodically to an elemental beat.

Ive ordered pizza because of location convenience, perhaps a 3.5 or 4.0 stars. I just ordered the "Wisconsin Cheddar Cheese Nuggets" - with a special need we say more? quote on their menu. These were perfect uniform imitation cheese cubes (yeah, cubes not curds) with an italian spiced breading. I had one and it was horrible. There isnt an image on Google when searching for fried cheese curds that looked like these things. My next upload is one of these suckers next to a piece of real cheese in the garden, and see how the ants avoid this fake cheese stuff. Come on 1/2 time. Dont advertise this way or get better ingredients.

We were craving local flavor and opted for Half times last night, our first visit We ordered drinks, cheese pizza and breaded mushrooms. The service was so fast on a drink refill (under a minute) I even commented to the server that was impressive. The food was delicious, proper temeperature and portioned/priced well. Our kids, who are picky eaters, ate multiple pieces of pizza. The atmosphere is as expected-bar environment, only pitfall I would say is another patron dropping multiple F-bombs when discussing the Bears and in particular Cutler to his colleague.

Building is a little run down but my experience with the food and service was great! Had Mike as my server tonight for a pepperoni pizza and beers with my girlfriend and the guy was awesome, I had better service with him than Ive had with most servers at a damn restaurant. I was very satisfied with my experience. Food treated good, drink prices were very reasonable and staff was friendly. I recommend trying them out

I will never go.back to this place the staff was completely rude and so was the management. A coupke of friends and I had ordered food and before we even got to eat they wanted us to pay our bill. I asked the bartender why and they wouldnt explain they just became rude. Then I asked for them to wrap our food and said I wouldnt be returning the management said they didnt care. Will spend my money elsewhere!

Went there on a Friday for the fish fry. The waitress said they didnt have any (even though the website and sign stated otherwise) no big deal. I went to order a burger instead and they were out of those as well? Thats the first time thats ever happened to me and I went at 545 pm on a Friday so its not like an odd time they would be out.. In any case, they have good wings and the service was friendly.
