The atmosphere and service isn't too bad but the food was disappointing.the tri-tip sandwich was just meat and bread, the meat was rather rubbery and the bread was pretty hard and far too crunchy, to the point I had to put in effort each bite.

Doesn't have the vibe, regulars, legendary bartenders, and drinks it used to have. Not surprised it doesn't have the same turnout as a result.

Had a craving for a grilled cheese sandwich and I'm here to tell you it was the best I'd ever eaten. Ribs are on point as well

Food was good. Service was quick. A few beers on tap. Out of quite a few items @ 6PM.
Not impressed with Instagram advertising 4-8 happy hour (still on the story) and being told it had changed to 4-6. Honor what was put on social media or take it down. (The 4-8 info was verified with an earlier phone call too).

The Hut was a pleasant surprise. We stopped for lunch after a tour of the university. I had their veggie burger & side salad. Both were excellent. My daughter enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich.

I have such fond memories when it was a classic college dive bar.
It has been cleaned up. Still a great spot!

Old timers probably chafe at the refurbished Hut, all bright and clean, but let’s face it, the old one was stuck in the 1970s. Still a great local hangout. Highly recommended is the Grilled Cheese sandwich, just make sure you add the meat for only $2. I tried it with Tri Tip. The meat was wonderfully smoked and juicy and very generous (for $2!), I wish it was sliced thinner. Oh, and I should mention 12 rotating brews on tap. Check it out!

Much more of a bar than a restaurant, but the food is pretty good. I enjoyed the tri tip sandwich. They have some goods beers as well. Small place though.

Fun spot, essential to the Santa Clara University experience as a visitor! Great slushy drinks. Order the tri tip sandwich or grilled cheese and add tri tip. Great for drunchies later in the night too if you don’t finish!

This place is located right outside The Alameda (north) at Franklin entrance to Santa Clara University. The name is well-known from its previous life as a dive bar. Now it's an outstanding place to get barbecue. I can only speak to the burgers (the best you will find within more than a few miles) and their baby back ribs, which are the best I've had in the Bay Area. The fries and slaw are both recommended sides.

There is a bar with a really nice selection of beers, both bottled and on tap, and wine. You can also dine outdoors. Open on Saturdays for brunch.

The prices are commensurate with the quality of the food and ingredients.

Currently, ample, free parking on the Alameda and Franklin, but that may change when the pandemic is over and most especially when the huge 575 Benton Mixed Use Project (The Alameda and Benton), a block away, opens in 2022.

I will update this review when I have tried other items on the menu.

Update: Pulled pork sandwich is great!

Very well kept and welcoming place. They provide large portions and for inexpensive prices. I liked the food very much and the staff members were super friendly and informative. Will definitely recommend this restaurant.

I usually don't head over to the Santa Clara area but some friends told me about this places called The Hut and I must say I was not disappointed. It was soooooo good! The chicken wings were AH-MAZING! And I am a total chicken wing lover! The house made ranch and buffalo sauce! I could not get enough of! I called in my order and it was ready to go when I went to pick it up! The man working their was so extremely helpful on Wednesday, told me all the different options! And convinced me to try out the slushy drinks:) WOW! So delicious! Will defiantly be coming here once all the shelter in place restrictions will be lifted. Cant wait to dine in and enjoy the rest of their menu!

This place obviously knows how to satisfy their customers. Constantly with a kind mindset. The food is fairly priced, always delicious and clean.

Once a Dive Bar.the dark and dank place where generations of (some) Broncos flocked - infamous place - the place your shoes stuck to the flithy floor. Then! Some generous Alum gathered and infused the ancient site with all things new.voila! The NEW Hut - where your meal card from Benson works!

A man named 'Big Dawg' offered me grass inside the establishment after my 8th mimosa. He then decided to light it up infront of my very eyes. He was escorted from the premises. Great times on a Saturday.

Great local BBQ place. Excellent smoke flavor in all the meats and a nice selection and sauces. Also has a descent tap list with rotating beers and a full bar.
