Hop's Downtown Grill - Kalispell

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.

Absolutely delightful. Great service, great food, wonderful atmosphere. Always have a great time, but always ready to come back. Elk bratwurst pretzel, Salmon Beet Salad, Seared Ahi... Mmm...

Amazing food! Fish and chips are amazing. Lasagna is better than any Italian restaurant lasagna. Perfect chicken fried steak. The staff are so friendly. Try it you will love it! And I can tell you ..told you so.

It had been quite awhile since we last ate here, so we decided to check it out for date night. The restaurant is on the smaller side, but has a cool...
