Hops

Pros: Great food
Cons: ehhhhh

I'd seen Hops popping up everywhere over the past few years here in Richmond, but the whole Micro brewery thang put me off. I'm not a drinker, usually, and when I do drink it's just not beer... unless it's on a dare. heh. Beer is just ...

Pros: Good fresh food and beer, multiple locations, more beer variety than ever before.
Cons: None come to mind.

If you think that the Hops Restaurant and Brewery chain only offers four beers, you think wrong. Though the 70+ location chain has for the longest time concentrated beer production on their four flagship brews (Clearwater Light, Lightning Bold Gold, ...

Pros: Beer still pretty good. Service at Palm Harbor location good.
Cons: Food quality way down from what it used to be.

When we moved to the Tampa Bay area just over ten years ago one of the first places we discovered was Hops. The steaks were tasty and tender and the beer, although not world class, was good and fresh. We even thought Hops offered far more bang for the ...

Pros: It's a Brewpub
Cons: Beer Isn't that Great

Hops is a chain of brewpub/restaurants that feature excellent food and freshly brewed beer. There are only a few other restaurant/brewpub combinations that have developed into national chains. Hops opened up its first location in Clearwater, Florida, in ...

Pros: Good Food, Good Beer, friendly atmosphere
Cons: A bit expensive for a family meal

As with any chain restaurant or store, I can only review the location I've visited. So my review may not be representative of the quality or service of all Hops but perhaps it will give you an idea of what to expect and whether it's worthwhile to...

Pros: Good food and beer.
Cons: Ugly decor and disappointing service.

My husband Bill is taking this week off work and we were feeling a bit peckish this evening. I wasn't in the mood to cook anything and felt like going out for a bite to eat. We decided to try Hops restaurant because we had driven past it so many ...

Pros: Good food and fresh brewed beer to wash it down.
Cons: Waiting for seating.

Combining a microbrewery with a restaurant is by no means a new concept. Variations of these food and brew establishments have been popping up with great frequency during the last half of the '90's. While many of these establishments are private one of a...

Pros: Great beer, good choices, nice atmosphere
Cons: food is really pretty average

Mississippi is a great state to live in, but sometimes we tend to be a little behind the times. One example of this is the law against microbreweries. Until two years ago, it was illegal for a restaurant to operate a microbrewery in the state of...

Pros: Enormous servings.
Cons: A rather limited menu.

When I ask my husband to choose a restaurant, he always decides on Hops.

We used to have to travel to Palm Harbor until they built one in Port Richey, Florida. Hops restaurants began in Florida, actually the first one was in...

Pros: Very Family Oriented, Clean, Pleasant
Cons: None

There seem to be many new chain restaurants coming into being over the last year. I have eaten in Hops in Connecticut and Florida and have been very pleased with meals in both locations. The decor of the place is oriented to family dining and very...

Pros: Great Service, Foods plentiful and delicious
Cons: Can't go there enough, The menu is somewhat limited.

Last fall I got to have dinner at Hops in St. Petersberg and I was really impressed with everything about the place. Since the weather is always nice down here the restaurant has a patio with about 15 tables outside. It must be nice to sit down on a...

Pros: Excellent tasting food, very smooth and mild tasting beers, casual and friendly service, moderately priced meals.
Cons: None I can think of.

While visiting in Denver our dinning experience is not complete unless we make a trip to Hops Restaurant-Bar-Brewery. Hops have a reputation as a microbrewery, which brews handcrafted excellent tasting beers.

The restaurant section of Hops...

Pros: Deliciously prepared foods and good beer.
Cons: None

As part of a celebration in the office for a successful partnership with our new client, my co-workers and I decided to go to HOPS for happy hour or happy "half-hour" as we all knew that we were so busy. Since this was the only HOPS in Maryland...

Pros: Great food, service, and atmosphere.
Cons: They only sell their own microbrewed beer.

Atmosphere: To start Hops has a...

Cons: Cost, weak salad

I attended on-the-job training last winter and two out of town instructors asked if there was a Hops restaurant in town. A classmate said that there was and that was the first that I had heard of the chain. The instructors made the lofty claim that the...
