Hop's Bar-B-Que

Hop's Bar-B-Q is a welcoming place to dine today. The restaurant is seat yourself and a waitress will bring you a menu and take your order. The restaurant opened in 1952 and was part of a sit-in on January 27th 1964. I knew about the Woolworth "sit-in" in Greensboro NC. I did not realize that the success of that sit-in led to other sit-ins. The Asheboro sit-ins on Sunset Ave happened four years later as those businesses were still segregated. When the peaceful protesters were not allowed inside they circled around the building holding hands while laying on the ground so nobody else could enter. They were spit on, beaten and called names. Eventually 60 were arrested. North Carolina has an ugly history but I wanted to go here because this was where civil rights were fought for.I ordered the BBQ plate with fries and hushpuppies. The sauce was different than I had before. The sauce that came on the bbq was thicker than the extra sauce in the bottle as that was watery. It still tasted really good. The prices are very reasonable here as well. I'd return here for another meal.

Went to Hops for lunch and got the large bbq platter with slaw and green beens. To be honest the meal was super lame. The bbq was really wet and had no flavor at all. The sauce on top was like bbq sauce from a bottle not homemade. I personally prefer eastern style bbq. You are better off to ride 28 minutes to Siler City and go to Smithfield's chicken and bbq. If you go to Smithfield's you wont be disappointed.

Bbq had no flavor at all. The sauce slathered over the top was just ok. Slaw was ok, green beans kinda sweet but ok. Trying to low carb so didnt try the pup's. The atmosphere was nice for a hole in the wall mom and pop.

So a group of us (3 adults and 2 kids) were super hungry and ready for an early lunch; we were out & about in Downtown Asheboro and decided to give Hops a try. We sat ourselves and chose a booth; nothing else to choose from really so if you're a big party, be prepared to be separated. We didn't care though, we were so hungry all five of us shoved ourselves into a booth. Our waitress was super friendly and helped us go over the menu, this was our first time dining here and we are all still a little bit new to authentic Southern cuisine. Our kids were pleased with grilled cheese, chicken tenders and french fries. I chose the special of the day which was chicken and dumplings; it came with two sides and I chose onion rings and macaroni & cheese. The hush puppies were delicious. I really enjoyed my meal, all of us at the table enjoyed picking at the onion rings and I thought the mac & cheese was very tasty. I would absolutely come back to Hops, I would get the chicken & dumplings again for sure and I definitely want to try breakfast. Thank you!

Hops BBQ has new chefs in the kitchen now. The BBQ is delicious and a large plate makes 3 meals for me now. The onion flavored hushpuppies are simply the best I've eaten. Price is very fair for what you get. We are going to Hops every Saturday we possibly can to eat lunch. You want regret eating at Hops

Hop's has been around forever and it's perfect for what it does. The menu is small town Carolina and the service is friendly, engaging and efficient. Great spot for bbq or hot dogs or whatever. The interior is dated with worn flooring but sparkling clean, and as an oddity, the inside of the building is much larger and comfortable than the cramped hole-in-the-wall you expect from seeing it on the outside. It can easily seat 80-100 people and the openness is amazing.I give it a solid five stars because it's just what it is and it does it as well as anywhere you're going to find.

Old fashioned dinner? To each their own? Bathrooms are outside. Inside only hand washing station that puts you on the spot (so to seek ) so that all can make sure YOU washed your hands after a 'pee'...different.

This was our first time coming here. I ordered a bbq sandwich with watermelon and my husband ordered hot dogs with fries. I sat facing towards the kitchen and noticed that the cook grabbed my husband's fries with his bare hands and placed it on his plate! Then he wiped his hand on his pants and grabbed the watermelon and put it on my plate. I was in utter disgust!! I saw he did this to someone else's watermelon as well and they did not say anything and proceeded to eat it, not sure if they noticed or not. After complaining they grabbed some utensils to serve me some new watermelon from the SAME bucket the guy stuck his hand in.. NO THANK YOU. We will not be coming back

great place to eat, offer everything from sandwiches to meats and vegetables. They have great service unless you get the teenage waitress, her 1st job so she's got a lot to learn about waitressing

My girlfriend brought home lunch while she was out and well, she brought me Chicken and Dumplins that was ALL dumplin with maybe enough shreds of chicken to fill half of my spoon once - super heavy and thickthe cinnamon apples were good, hush puppies were good neither were anything specialthe peach cobbler, well, i don't know because after getting through the bowl of dumplin, i couldn't stomach another bite of anything - will try that later though
