Grabbed some takeout today. Wanted to try the staples of bar food, wings and burger. On the way home, I thought I would sample the tots, little did I know, there were 2 pounds of them . Nice work, Hoppers! Breaded wings were crispy and delicious. Burger was damn good. While waiting for the food, my awesome bartender poured a fine beer and made a tasty bourbon lemonade for me. Will return.

We stopped in for the first time after shopping and really enjoyed both the food and service. Each of us had an excellent burger (bacon-cheese for me and mushroom & Swiss for my wife) and a mound of our side of choice; my wife had the onion rings and I had the cheese curds. The vibe was cozy and in the late afternoon when we were there, it felt more family oriented than bar scene. Their burgers are now on our list of "where to go for a really burger". We will be back!

Hopper's looks like a typical bar on the outside and on the inside - distributer swag all over, pool table, high top tables etc. but they have pretty good burgers, a very friendly staff, and daily special during the week.

I love Hoppers. I'm not a bar person and I only come seldomly to enjoy a good burger and the staff still remember my name. This is the first time I came on a weekend. Upon entering I was approached by a larger individual who asked me for ID. I immediately provided it and attempted to make a joke about what I.D. stands for - I will admit I have a dry sense of humor and it is a Norm McDonald joke RIP. He seemed angry but anyways about thirty minutes later he came outside while I was smoking a cigarette and informed me that he had multiple complaints about me and that I had to leave. I had exactly one negative interaction in the interim which was with a drunk individual who called me a douche bag for not opening the back gate after a girl in his party had first asked me to hand her a scooter she had left. I non-chalantly told him to go f himself as I could not perform two tasks at once. This is the only individual I could see potentially making a complaint against me as it was my only interaction in the limited time I was there. I know better than to argue as I do understand it is their establishment and I will leave upon request. However, I do feel it is to their detriment because I am a respectful and loyal patron to establishments that deserve it. The bouncers name I found out by calling back and speaking to a bartender who had no knowledge of my barring from the establishment and also informed me usually the bar staff were in charge of trespassing ubdesirable patrons. He is a heavy-set individual named Trevor. Hoppers is a great bar and I may return but Trevor's attitude was incongruent to the level of service I know Hopper's has and left such as sour taste in my mouth to validate the two star review. My number is 970-567-8100 if any personnel from Hoppers would like to follow up for me to provide further details of my experience from the night of Saturday June 24, 2023.

Excellent burgers, cold beer and friendly staff. Great lunch specials. Did I mention the cold beer?

Heard a lot about Hoppers. Finally tried it. Was not disappointed. My wife and I split the Hickory Burger w fries. I'd say the burger was solidly good but not the best I've ever had. Wish there had been more BBQ sauce on it. Tip for a newcomer. Ask for extra BBQ sauce. Fries were good but again not the best. Good price for the beer on tap. Better than that, my wife had a Mojito. She liked it. I liked it because it's the best priced Mojito in the entire Metro area by far. Almost the same price as my beer. That never happens anywhere else. Pub atmosphere was ok. The bar stools at the bar and pub tables are very comfortable. Nice cushioning for back and rear end. The regular tables had chairs that I'd say didn't look as comfortable. All waiters that we interacted with were very pleasant.

My brother-in-law talked up this place to us so my husband and I were sure to go when we visited from CA. It is walking distance from his house, a big plus! It's a cool hole-in-the-wall type bar. We've only tried the cheese curds which were really good! We were also introduced to a yummy shot that we still talk about and take often, 2 years later! It's called Chuck Norris. We loved it so much that we bought the ingredients to fly home with us. We can't get the energy drink where we live so we buy it on Amazon. We will go back again when we return. :)

Had lunch, my friend had a 1/2# bacon cheese burger. It was huge and yummy. I had chicken drummys the batter was so crisp and good, The service was excellent. Hoppers is just a small town bar with food and they carried it off very well. On street parking is a little sketchy But there is free town parking lots within easy walking distance. It was a great meal!

We took a day trip to Waconia in search of Bloody Mary's and burgers. Old reviews and Hopper's website indicated they offer a Super Bloody on Sundays, so I was a bit disappointed when the Bloody showed up with just two olives. I later saw one come out with more toppings, so maybe I should have asked for something more specific? Or better yet the server could have given us the options. The Bloody was tasty however. For the food, we ordered cheese curds for an appetizer. The portion was huge and the curds were tasty. I got the Wildcat Burger which comes with their house-made Zesty sauce. Man, I could drink that sauce by the gallon. Even if you don't get the burger, get some zesty sauce on the side for dipping. The burger was huge and delicious. The 1/2 pound patties are clearly hand made in house. And they offer a ton of options for sides. I went with the chips and cheese (What can I say, I'm a s***** for gas station nachos!) I will be back and next time I'll be more specific about my bloody order!

I had to come in for the famous burger and it did not disappoint. I don't know about the best in the twin cities - but very solid! Cozy interior and one of the friendliest staffs around. Had a couple of well priced beers and was on my way! Also - playing great music in the background.

Went in for my Saturday ritual, a pitcher of beer, when I asked for it the bar tender told me that it was illegal to sell a pitcher of beer to one person. I explained to him that I'm in there almost every weekend and have not been told that before there or at any other bar. He went and got it for me and he told me "If you come back here and ask for this again I'm going to have you talk to the owner" in a very threatening tone. I looked through the state's liquor laws and could not find anything that states that selling a pitcher to one person is illegal. I will not be coming back and I will advise everyone I know to do the same. Super dissatisfied with the customer service.
