We had dinner for the first time at Hops on Friday night of Memorial Day weekend 2022. After reading Hops is a smaller (and we discovered very personal!) restaurant that doesn't take reservations, we arrived at their opening time of 5pm and were seated promptly; by 5:45, there was only a single table for two available.We tourists from Oklahoma, we love to try new things, so two of our group of four ordered the tri-fecta Hunter's Trio meal of sample/slider size burgers of Bison, Elk and Yak.One of these trios was mine. I've never eaten any of the three before but, my bucket list says I need to try new things. ? My first bite was the bison and it squirted red across my plate and onto my white sweatshirt. Now, I am someone who normally orders all food well-done, zero pink, no shine: but I did not cut and run after the first bite because it was DELICIOUS! I had not actually bitten into the red center and I finished eating all around the edges. It was probably my favorite of the three and if I am able to return, I'll be sure to order well-done. The elk burger was delicious, no pink and 100% consumed. The meat of the yak burger was good, but Hops makes the slider with a jalapeno sauce that wasn't to my taste. I scraped the sauce off and enjoyed the meat. I ordered my dinner with fries and no one in our group has ever seen fries cut the way these were: thicker cut flat curls that were wonderfully flavored and cooked. Had I wanted something else, they had a lengthy list of sides I could have chosen.The third and fourth meals in our group were the evening's specials: Mahi-mahi ($30) and a 16 oz steak ($40). The lady who ordered the mahi-mahi was still raving about how good it was the following day; the steak was good, though not as tender as we would like to have seen.Our waitress deserved every penny of our generous tip: she was superb not only in serving us and helping us with choices but also in answering our questions about the Kalispell area.I will definitely return to Hops should the opportunity arise and strongly suggest you enjoy it too.
Not that special. Not relaxing dinner because the people in the next table are trying to listen to your conversation. Small portions. Salomon was good but very small for the price. Burgers are good but for the prices and the atmosphere we are going to a better place.
The food was amazing and the staff is incredible!! We ordered the bison steak and the brie and bacon burger. Both were excellent. The sidewinder fries were a huge hit!! Jordan was our server and she was so attentive and helpful! Our kids were treated with so much kindness and respect. Our experience was one we will remember for a long time. Thank you for making our night a wonderful memory! Can't recommend enough!!
Tried picking up delivery since they partner with Grubhub two days in a row said they didn't have the customers order. Today they said they turned off the tablet but clearly the order was placed and customers disappointed. I won't be picking up their deliveries
Another spot I tried with my family and my gf, tbh, I wasn't impressed. And no I don't think it was because they were busy. Both food and drinks took forever, tried to mask it with water refills, watched 6 or 7 other tables that were seated AFTER us get served food first. My burger was underwhelming, despite being one of the first things on the menu. And then to make up for the fact that our food took so long, we were given free dessert which, in case you're wondering, was leagues better than the food. The dessert was to die for btw
Very delicious food!! I had the 3 sampler burgers. Bison was my favorite!The elk ( I think it was elk, I don't remember,regardless it was good) sausage and pretzels was so so good!
The huckleberry burger was awesome, great beer list at amazing pricing. Michelle is a standout, she was so friendly. Will be back next time I’m in the area
It's not a very large place and was very crowded. The food was just okay. Staff appeared to be overworked but they were still polite.
I hate to share how wonderful this place is as they will now not be able to fit us in but....wow, so delicious and the prices were very reasonable. They had a back door open so it was chilly at our table. That is really common at restaurants today they think the air and heat are for the convenience of the cooks not the guests.
??Such good food! My husband says they have the best fish and chips! ..and he goes all over, testing and tasting them. I love pretty much all of it, including the beer and wine selections, the staff, the diners who are always smiling as they eat, and the atmosphere.
