Hopper's Bar & Grill

This place may have the best burgers in MN. Also love the Krikel cut fries. So good. The burger I had was the Glenn. Huge. It is a dive bar which I love. Plus they have pull tabs.

Pretzel bites and cheese were good. Burger toppings were good, but a little overdone. Fries were blah. Server checked on us a lot and felt like we were rushed out even though it wasn't busy.

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.

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. :)

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.

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.

I went in this place about 6 times. There is a weird atmosphere, bright lights, people that are not friendly. Not one did I feel welcome there. I ordered a burger once with only ketchup and mustard and the meat was awful. The last timer I went there was Christmas about 5 years ago. I rarely go out drinking but I sat down and ordered a mixed drink and a Twisted Tea. I was going to have 3 drinks and a family member picking me up ( I don't drink and drive, EVER). The bartender was curt with me and said If I wanted two drinks at once I was cut off. I have nevber been to this bar where people there weren't odd and the bartenders weren't unfriendly. I am writing this review not because a friend from out of town suggested we go there for a burger. NO THANK YOU!

Luv their burgers, but had chicken and it was not good. Over cooked and dried out. The chicken piece was small, it was like I ate a bread sandwich with lettuce and tomato. They need to improve their chicken or just take it off the menu. On the plus side generous with the tater tots and delicious.

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.

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!
