Fairmont is home to a number of old-school restaurants that I haven't spent enough time exploring. But I recently went up to the area to go ramp hunting with my friend Liz, and I wanted to grab a bite and support a small local business before heading back to town.



Hoops Cafe is like a sports bar that is family-friendly. At the time of my visit, we were still under quarantine. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to check out the inside. BUT, I was able to place and order and pick it up. The menu has fried appetizers, burgers, sandwiches, and wings - which I heard was their specialty. I went for 10 wings in the "Saloon Girl" sauce, which is "a must for any wing enthusiast. A balance of sweet BBQ and subtle heat makes this one of our best sellers!"


It's not your typical sweet BBQ flavor. It has a little something extra. I like my wings a bit more crisp, but overall, these were decent.
