Hops Burger Bar — Restaurant in Greensboro

Saturday night. Buzzing with excitement and fun in the air. Paaacked! You want a quiet and intimate evening with your significant other? Don’t come here on a Saturday night. You want a fun filled dinner with your significant other, friends or the whole family? Definitely come here.

Plenty of parking right outside in the parking lot even though it was a busy Saturday evening. You walk in and you’re greeted with friendly staff, music, and a super fun atmosphere in the air. It was just the wife and I so we could belly up to the bar in just a few minutes of wait time. You have a party of 4 or more, make sure to give yourself some time on a busy weekend night. Even if you have to wait, it’s worth it.

The craft brew scene here is fantastic. Plenty of beers for every palate on tap. Bartenders were super attentive, giving plenty of personal time even though the place was filled with no tables or bar seats empty. We weren’t waiting on anything, including the needed water hydration next to our great drinks.

Starting off with what I’d say was one of the best fried green tomato appetizers we’ve had. Perfect crispy outside, with a juicy and tasty inside. Topped with either goat cheese, pimento cheese, or both (recommended!), it was a tasty starter that whet the appetite. We then went in for the burgers: Diablo for me (pepper jack cheese, guacamole, jalapeños, sautéed onions, and jalapeño bacon on a sriracha bun), and a Pickleback for the wife (fried onion rings, bourbon marinated pickles and bbq sauce on a brioche bun). We haven’t been to many burger spots in Greensboro yet, but these burgers live up to some of the best we’ve had compared to Phoenix and California. Huge patties, of which you can choose from a 6, 8 or 12oz size depending on your hunger or love for burgers. Juicy, tender and depth to flavor. The toppings just heighten the burger experience, and do not drown out the actual taste of the patty. The onion ring sides were amazing. And you can’t beat the presentation, see pics to get a feel for it without actually being there. But honestly, go experience it for yourself first hand if you haven’t yet.

We will...

My husband and I eat here very often, every couple weeks and it’s either the spring garden or this location. I’ve loved this restaurant for many years now and never been this disappointed until we went here last Saturday. The wait was about 45 minutes which we expected but once we sat down it went downhill from there. Our waitress wasn’t friendly and we’ve never seen her here before. After we ordered we waited 55 minutes before our food came. I am pregnant and was so hungry I regretted not ordering an appetizer. Our waitress never once apologized for the wait or cared to visit our table. My sweet tea was never refilled. By the time the food came we were all upset and ate everything too quickly. My husbands order was messed up. They forgot the tomato on his burger, nor was it cooked to the medium he had requested, it was well done. He refused to say anything and ate it because he was so hungry. My fish sandwich which I’ve gotten more times then I can count was disappointing too(the fish was small and mostly batter that seemed to have been fried to an excess as it was a darker brown and not golden like usual) but I couldn’t do anything about it either. Our waitress didn’t show up to check on us after food had delivered till we had a couple bites left(our guest had finished his burger). We asked for our check, paid, tipped and left. Since Hops reopened since Covid, this was our second time here. Even though they have taken many items off the menu and raised their prices by a few dollars we still decided to come again. I thought with raised prices and all their food would be better or at least kept to the standard it was, not worse. I don’t think we’ll be returning anytime soon. If my husband didn’t ask, this would be a 1...
