“This is like a neighborhood bar with excellent food. Staff is delightful. I have never had a bad meal here. The chef is inventive. I love trying the specials. Ongoing menu delicious also loved Reuben and Burger. Place is small so I wouldReservations. Great wine list. Reminds me of TV show "Cheers"Parking: Large parking lot. This restaurant is in a shopping center that is not busy so plenty of free parking“
“I stopped in today in the late afternoon. There was someone leaving with a bag of food and asked if they had been there before, and the woman praised the establishment, though did say that sometimes food was a little slow coming out of the kitchen, depending on how busy they were. Duly noted. In I went!The main bar area was almost completely empty. The place has a dark, cozy feel. That comfortable neighborhood bar feel. Not the commercialized kind you find at a chain, the classic sense of one. I can't explain it better than that.They have four TVs up behind the bar, most were showing sports related content, one had on a made-for-TV movie that made me think it might have been the Hallmark channel? I'm not a sports guy, so I spent most of my meal either looking at the smaller screen which was scrolling pictures from their Halloween party, or reading the Captions on the TV movie.The Halloween party scroller adds to that sense that this is a friendly neighborhood staple, and the staff here take pride in being part of the community.For being a smaller bar, they have done a nice job at curating their spirits list. They have some of the typical "well" brands, a couple of common middle-shelf items, and a few surprises on there that were also priced lower than I'd found at other places. Even more surprising is that some of them were still in stock!The bartender (Kat) was very efficient and welcoming, she gave me her feedback on her favorites from the menu. When two other gentlemen came in and seated not far from me, she asked them if they were going to be getting lunch, so she could put their orders in ahead of the orders of a large party in an adjacent room. I thought this was pretty thoughtful of her, as the large party was likely in no hurry, but these two guys were in suits and might have needed to watch the clock.I had the Rueben, with onion rings, and I also ordered a side of cheese curds. The sandwich was excellent for the price point. Next time I might ask what the upcharge is to get extra meat. No complaints on the value as it stood.The onion rings were very good. I meant to ask if they make them or get them in frozen, but I forgot. They came with a side of a tangy, slightly spicy (Jalepeno?) sauce. At first I thought it was extra Thousand Island dressing by the color, but it was closer to "Bang Bang" sauce (typically found with a shrimp dish at other places).The cheese curds were... okay. They were fried a little too long, so many of them started to explode, clumping together, and the breading burned in places. They came with an herbed aoli that was pretty good. I think that might go much better with fries or maybe even on a burger.They have some neat sounding twists on their burgers, and have monthly burger specials. Next time I go, I will probably try one of the burgers.“
“Taylor took good care of us. The food is wonderful and tastes so good. Music was nice and not too loud. As we walked out everyone is talking to us and saying have a good day and please come back. Even the men at the bar were nice and saying hello Queens… please come back lol ☺️. People are just friendly because the environment is friendly. Drinks were good and not weak. Thanks for a good time. Ladies outing was good.“
“Only eaten in twice, both times great experience. I get wings at the takeout about twice a month. Very easy ordering online and it's ready as soon as I drive up.. don't even have to get out of the car.Staff is always smiles and friendly.“
“I'm really surprised that I have not written a review on Hops. I was just recently there for lunch and expected to see my review after a few prior lunches. I must remedy immediately! No doubt in my mind, they have consistently earned a five star in my book.My go to our their burgers and sweet potato fries with a local craft brew. My most recent visit I tried a special on the menu. It didn't hit as well as others, but still based on other offerings I love them.A combination of strong service and delicious burgers and fries makes this an easy five star pull for me. They have two locations in town, the original and this one. They also have at least one location that's outside the area. However, keep in mind they are a local business.Parking: Off peak times plenty. On peak challenging.Kid-friendliness: High chairs available“
