Very busy place on Saturdays- wait was an hour and 30 mins at 7PM so we went elsewhere and made a reservation for Sunday, which turned out to be a great move. The place is busy but not annoyingly busy on Sundays- good service by our waitress Kelly in the bar seating area. Nice music and perfect noise level for talking. Went with my gut and tried the dill pickle pizza- it was so delicious!! The pesto crust, dill pickle plus brine oof the bacon with gooey cheese is a divine flavor combination. Cheese curds were yummy too!
Our server Nick was great! There wasn’t much of a wait at all and service was pretty fast. Great selection of apps, meals, and drinks. Everyone at my table was happy with their choices. Will definitely visit again!
Had a great date night here on a busy Saturday night last week! The other review here don't lie. DON'T MISS THIS PLACE! It was noisy and bustling when we went, but despite that fact we received extremely attentive, awesome service from our sever Emilio! I was grateful and impressed that he maintained such great customer service even at 9:30pm. He checked on us at least three times (possibly because it wasn't the rush hour, but we were treated as though we were the only customers there) Our food was an experience all its own. My husband and I split the brisket tacos, Warm brussels salad, and delicata squash. All were amazing!! Definitely exceeded my expectations (even as a lover of gourmet food). The Warm Brussels Salad was good enough to stuff oneself! The Road to Hannah cocktail was also a new favorite of mine, very fresh and bright. The chill, non-rush attitude in regards to our bill reminded us of our visit to Italy. They didn't hand it over and tell us "no rush" (still feels like a rush, doesn't it?), we were simply checked on multiple times until we were done eating, and ready to pay. Overall, we had a wonderful time at Hops. These kinds of food experiences are what make memories!
Ate here three times in four days. Needless to say, food was tremendous! We had something different each time and everything was exceptional and comment worthy. Service was equally as good. We asked questions about the location and building and received a thorough explanation of 84 East’s history. Highly recommend! Will return without a doubt!
I’ve been to many fine dining restaurants and I will tell you that the food here is even better than some of them. The place looks laidback and chill, but the food they serve is top tier. From the simple Potstickers bursting with flavor, to the delicious Pebble Creek Mushrooms, and the main event, the Salmon. I decided to order the Salmon after reading one raving review about it and it was the right decision. The salmon was cooked to perfection, the asparagus risotto was flavorful, the garlic sweet pea emulsion, chili oil, and pickled mustard seed tied the dish together. I’m rarely impressed by food and I’m telling you that this Salmon dish is PHENOMENAL. I almost felt like crying because it was so good. They have great drink selections too, I ordered the Kiwi Watermelon Margarita and it was so refreshing. We cleared all our plates and drinks, it was money well spent and we’d love to visit again to try other dishes. Compliments to the chef and the kitchen crew. Also want to commend our server, Breckon (I hope I got your name right) for the great customer service. If you ever find yourself in Holland, MI, you’d regret skipping this place!
Hops is easily one of my favorite places to eat in Holland! Every time I go, I feel like I’m in for a treat. The vibe is cozy and welcoming, which makes it a great spot for everything from a relaxed dinner to celebrating something special. Their menu has something for everyone, and I’ve never been disappointed with what I’ve ordered. The flavors are always spot on, and it’s clear they put a lot of care into their dishes. Plus, their craft beer selection is awesome and pairs really well with the food. What I really appreciate is the staff—they’re super friendly and always make sure you’re having a great time. If you haven’t been to Hops yet, you’re missing out. I can’t wait to go back and explore more of their menu!
The food was pretty amazing. We did have burnt brisket, we said somethingand they made it right. The staff was very kind but seemed very stretched. Dining took an hour and a half so plan accordingly. Highly recommend the scallops and steak. There was less seasoning on the steak but had the hollandaise with it.
