My friend and I came here on a Saturday night, and although it was quite busy, we were seated right away. The service was excellent--our waiter was kind, attentive, and made us feel well taken care of. I ordered the yakisoba bowl without any meat add-ins, and I'm so glad I did. It was easily the best yakisoba I've ever had. The sauce leans more sweet than salty, which made it really unique and flavorful. I absolutely loved it. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area. I definitely think it would be a great spot to watch any sporting event. It is winter time, but looks like it would be a nice spot in the summer. I can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu! read more

Food Review - 30hop (Ankeny) Hiding from the rain with love of my life! I and my amazing woman ordered the Grilled Buffalo Chicken Cobb along with a half Very Berry Salad with added grilled chicken, and overall it was a satisfying, hearty meal. The Grilled Buffalo Chicken Cobb was the standout. The chicken was tender and well-cooked, topped with a bold buffalo sauce that added heat overpowering the dish (heh). The salad itself was generously portioned and visually appealing, loaded with fresh ingredients like cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, blue cheese crumbles, crispy bacon, hard-boiled egg, corn, carrots, and mixed greens. Every bite had a good balance of textures and flavors--creamy, crunchy, savory, and spicy. The Very Berry Salad (half portion) was fresh and light, making it a nice contrast to the Cobb. Adding grilled chicken made it more filling, though the upcharge felt a little steep for the portion size. Still, the greens and toppings were fresh and well-prepared. Service and presentation were solid, and the food arrived looking just as good as it tasted. One downside was the added 3% swipe/tap fee, which bumped the total up a bit, but the quality of the food helped justify the overall surprise. Overall: A flavorful, filling meal with fresh ingredients and strong presentation. A good choice if you're craving a substantial salad that doesn't feel boring and looking for a place to hide from a rain and talk to your loved one. (5/5) read more

Visited 30hop for the first time and was pretty impressed with it. The venue is definitely larger than I expected. And TVs are massive, so it's a great spot for watching sport events. Great lighting and impressive service, especially for large groups. We had a large group so I couldn't get everyone's orders but the BBQ Mac and cheese was delicious! read more

30hop - Our 3rd 5 STAR visit at this location! The Ambiance: Well of course we had to come back. Sadly we missed the happy hour the ended at 6, but that didn't stop us or any of the other people that were waiting for a table. We were a party of 5, and were seated within 5 minutes. If you haven't been here it is quite the place, with big opulent spaces, high ceilings, modern decor and tones of windows. The popular seating is on the outdoor patio that backs up to the main stage in the district at prairie trail. The vibe and atmosphere of this place is just awesome. Great job! We sat at a huge booth that might seat 8 or even 9 in a pinch. My only real complaint of the night was that we were seated at a really freshly wiped down table that was literally sopping wet. We used our napkins to dry it up. Oh well, moving on! The Service: Our waiter Aiden was on the ball and provided us with some great suggestions and services. He was very personable, attentive and did a great job! Drinks: We ordered some beverages and water too. A couple of Blueberry Fig Mules (#8.99), A classic mule, and a 30 hop Old Fashioned ($10.99). The Food: The menu is has a lot of selection but not over the top. They have a wide selection of fantastic dishes. We ordered some Bang Bang Brussels ($13.99) to share, not only they amazing, they were a large enough portion for 5 of us. The dishes ordered were the 30hop Caesar Salad $10.99, The Baja Fish Tacos ($16.99) , The Korean Steak Sandwich with Wok Veggies ($18.99) and The Crispy Shrimp Bowl ($19.99). Everything was delivered fresh and looked pretty delicious. My Opinions: I personally had the Korean Steak Sandwich and to be honest for the price it was maybe worth about half the price. There was nothing remarkable about it, and I do not recommend it. So far it has been the only thing on the menu that I have had that left me wishing I had ordered something else. See you next time, we will be back! read more

Great loud and bustling spot to grab drinks at their massive bar or dine in! Was in town visiting and reserved a table for dinner. Friday evenings get pretty packed with families. Food and drinks were delish. I think they are understaffed or assign to many tables to each server. Ours was running tables and took awhile to come back to ours for refills on waters and ordering. Not their fault. read more

Ahhhhh what I would give to have this meal again or even have this restaurant closer to home. I LOVED the menu at 30 Hop. There is easily something for everyone, from burgers, salads, and tacos, to poke bowls! They have great cocktails, craft beer, and even wine. Their happy hour is stellar and they even do brunch. Now, normally when a restaurant tries to be everything to everyone I get suspicious and think that quality is lacking, but I was so impressed with this food. The vibe of the restaurant was also top-notch. Awesome decor, plenty of TVs, space for groups, and plenty of great staff to answer all of your questions - and give you samples of their extensive beer options. Although we don't have one of these in Sioux City, yet, at least they are spread across the Midwest for you to find one and enjoy! They have locations in Omaha, Ankeny, Coralville, Cedar Rapids, and even Lee Summit, Missouri. I will definitely be back to try One of the other options I almost went with, but until then I'm just going to daydream about this bowl... read more

Busy, noisy and chaotic. Had a staff member walk by fast and hit the back of my chair and didn't say a word. The service was less than expected for as many people as they have. Took quite awhile to get a server to the table and by then I was debating drinks, instead of making suggestions she started to say she would come back? I stopped her from leaving, picked my drink and ordered my food so I didn't have to wait longer. My food came out several minutes before my drink, no water was offered before hand or at all! Presentation was nice, salmon was overcooked, slightly dry and the majority of the $22 dish was rice with sauté vegetables. The vegetables were not listed in the menu, adding in carrots, zucchini, broccoli and overcooked onions.. be cautious if you have allergies! The margarita was okay, not worth the $10, filled to the top with ice. Salt foam just made it sour and it was hard to taste much blueberry. Definitely disappointed with the lack of service, time of delivery and cost compared to amount of food you get. The .99 cent surcharge for using a card is ridiculous for an establishment with that much customer base. read more

Lazy summer afternoon and we hit 30hop! Cool atmosphere, big place and lots of TV's. Service was quick and friendly! Favorite part of the meal was the brussel sprouts appetizer, crispy and seasoned well! Korean Steak sandwich was also seasoned well and tasty! Shrimp dish was crispy and all the ingredients tasted fresh! Would definitely go back! read more

My wife and I went here on a Sunday afternoon with some friends! Super easy to be seated and we had no wait. The service was timely and very kind! Gave us the recommendation for the agave margarita and if you like a stronger but sweet drink I'd recommend it! I got the tater tot breakfast bowl which was good! Definitely filling and everything taste wise worked well. Their sweet potato fries are also amazing. Really enjoyed our time! read more

Maddy was a great server; her entire team was good at checking in for refills, ensuring expectations, etc. The very berry salad was excellent. Perfect flavor throughout--just the right amount of dressing, balsamic glaze, and core ingredients. The candied pecans added the right amount of texture balance with the strawberries, cheese, and vegetables. I didn't love the fish taco. The cole slaw was the finely shredded type and tasted exceptionally raw. Not enough of the elote crema left for a rather bland dish. Also, it's a flour tortilla. Will skip the tacos next time. read more

30hop - Lunch "pick 2": Very Berry salad and Fish Taco - American Near Me - Ankeny, Iowa

We gave it another go! We did not have the best experience the first time we visited over two years ago- but gave it another shot and it has become one of our faves go to spots in the District! We've enjoyed the atmosphere, the truffle fries are my personal favorite! So many good apps and small bites too. The buffalo chicken salad is my fave entree. The new space is much bigger and has beautiful windows that face the amphitheater stage that is going to be a vibe in the summer! Service has been wonderful each time we've been since! read more

Fantastic service from Grayson and great hospitality from the team overall! Really enjoyed our drinks, apps and entrees - my favorites were the Hefeweizen, spinach and artichoke dip and the fish tacos. Space is great for family meals and to watch sports. Will definitely come back and highly recommend! read more

We've never been to this location before, so going on a Tuesday night was a good choice because it wasn't too busy. But still busy enough to where we were seated in the bar area at the high tops. It's a sports bar/brewery and as a whiskey drinker, a great selection at very affordable prices. I got to try the Elmer T Lee for only $15. On to the food, my husband loves bacon jam so although the Korean ribeye sandwich or the Philly cheesesteak sandwich sounded delicious, he went with The "I'm all about that jam burger." It came with fries which were crispy and seasoned, and even the bun had a crisp to it. He liked it. I went with a Berry salad that had goat cheese, nuts, and a vinaigrette, and I added grilled chicken. I went with the small and trust me that was still a plenty good size with a full-size chicken breast. Our server was great even when it started to get busy. It has a neat decor with cool lighting and a chill vibe in a sports bar/brewery atmosphere. Definitely a few other things I'd like to try from the menu so we will be back. read more

I enjoyed my first visit to 30hop in Ankeny's District. It offers American lunch/dinner food in a cozy setting, as well as opportunities for sports watching and spending time with friends in comfy booths. They have two other Iowa locations (Coralville and Cedar Rapids). I browsed their menu and found they have Mon-Wed $5.99 specials that will pull me back in, plus giant-screen TVs that will make this a good spot to watch some games. Happy Hour is Fri-Sun from 3-6 PM and includes 30% off apps and drinks. I also like their hours of operation, as being open from 11-930 most days provides many options and a later closing time. I enjoyed my Classic burger, cooked exactly as requested, and the fries were yummy. Our server was really good and kind and was able to get us in and out in a hurry due to a tight schedule. read more

Food was good (don't get the sweet potato fries). Our server was great but the the main food was delivered as the apps. (Not my favorite). The Ambiance was an upscale sports bar vibe. (Lot of baby's where they. Unsure if that is normal for a Saturday). Over all enjoy my time. More of a drinks and apps place for me. read more

I had been wanting to try food here since they opened. An early Friday dinner worked out for a girlfriend and myself. Warmly greeted when I arrived. The automosphere was a restaurant mix sports bar. Was immediately seated and helped. My friend arrived shortly after. I couldn't decide on a drink, and the waitress was kind enough to bring me a few samples till I find the right drink. I had seen a couple of other reviews about service, but our waitress was attentive and busy with the tables around us. We wanted to sample the appetizers, and I think our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. I ordered the Bang Bang Brussels. My mouth is watering thinking about them again. I also tried the breaded cauliflower. This was in lue of Buffalo wings. I recommend these both. The helpings were way bigger than I thought and we couldn't finish them. My friend got the truffle fries, and those too were on point. Since I didn't write the review right away, I can tell you these are all good the next day. Just warm them up in an airfryer, and you're set. Over all the experience was good. Price was reasonable but overall okay. I want to bring my husband back for a full meal. Our just Brussels again. read more

I recently visited 30 Hop for the first time. Walking in the restaurant was absolutely beautiful. The service was amazing. I have multiple food allergies so I always ask a lot of questions. Our server said the she would check with the kitchen. A few minutes later the chef came out to the table and introduced himself. He was very knowledgeable and gave some great suggestions and the food was so good. I got the berry salad with chicken. It was so fresh and light, and that dressing was perfect. I will definitely be back and a special thank you for chef Matthew. read more

Pleasant wait staff and glad to take modifications for orders. Food good and quick. We go there annually for our friends shopping day.

Atmosphere and service is great, but if you're coming hungry plan to have another meal elsewhere. Used to have a great BBQ Mac and Cheese bowl, but they took it off them menu for a while, and when it was brought back they left out some of the spice and flavor. Now the portion is appetizer size. The chicken sandwich my wife got was pretty small as well. Leaving now to get something else to eat! My wife wants me to add that the sandwich was very good. I tried it and liked it as well, so I am upping from 2 stars to 3. I am a hungry man though, and portions are important to me. read more

I enjoyed a nice Lunch here at 30Hop last week on my way back to Ames. My first choice was Firetrucker plus a Jimmy Johns sandwich, but this and other brew pubs don't do Lunch time hours mid-week. So thanks to Yelp and Maps, I found my way to 30Hop in the middle of a fake Downtown Ankeny Development. Parking was easy, seating was comfortable, service was friendly and prompt, and my half Turkey Panini sandwich with fries was tasty and just the right amount of food. In hindsight, I could have chosen healthier, but that correction is for another day. And yes, they had a very good beer selection that honors this restaurant's name. My choice was a Cousin Eddie Brown Ale. I like IPAs, and as I'm tired of them right now, I appreciated the variety that 30Hop offered. Hint: A nice tripel quad Belgian would be even better. read more

Excellent service. Large space with plenty out outdoor and indoor seating options. Great salads, and chocolate cake.

Wide variety of food options. Great for any meal including weekend brunch. Excellent Happy Hour specials

Cute, clean little place that offers inside and outside dining experiences. If you ever read any of my posts, you know that when I travel, I try new places. I'm in Iowa again, but now in Ankeny Area. New area to explore while visiting family. I wanted a place to celebrate my daughter's 25th birthday. I found this little cute place, and they are doing a limited OKtoberfest special menu. Our server was great and gave amazing recommendations. However, we only tried two of them out of 6, and she personally said were her favorits. How many of you find when a server knows more about flavor, which was the Tomatoe soup. Yum, this was creamy, tasted like the vodka pasta sauce but as a soup. We saw the Bavarian double pretzel come out and said wow glad we didn't order it." Only because we would ha e never ate our meal it was really big and looked amazing. We said next time when we have the rest of the family with we'll for sure getting that. So I ordered a pork schnitzel special which came with warm potatoes and red cabbage. This was a good dish, but I'm german and felt the red cabbage had no flavor. If I had to give this dish stars, it would get 3.5 from me out of 5 stars... the star was just the pork, which was amazing with a great mustard on top. My daughter went with a recommendation, "The 30hop burger." She said it was delicious, and all flavors were well combined. The French fries are a typical fry, nothing special but still good. Our overall experience was great. My daughter left excited to have another place to go back to for good food with her boyfriend or when I come back to visit. I will be excited to see what new menu items they may have on special. read more

Came here on a whim after a nearby place had a long wait. 30hop was also busy, but got us seated right away.

Our waitress was very personable and prompt. Enjoyed the atmosphere and being able to enjoy the night! read more

I went to 30hop with my family. It was a Saturday night and the place was rather slow. I cannot explain why. The atmosphere was great. The place was clean. The place was organized. The service was fantastic. Hey people where are you. This is a great restaurant with a fantastic food menu with tons of variety. They had a great bar with many beers on tap. I can't explain it, but people need to get out there and try this place. It is fantastic!! read more

We stayed in Ankeny this weekend because we couldn't find a room in Ames which was great because we got to try a new restaurant. My daughter had tried 30hop for her birthday and said it was some of the best food ever - so she brought us here. The service was excellent - while we didn't sit outside, they had plenty of outside seating - and overall, the vibe was very chill. We all loved our drinks and food - plenty of options to choose from. I'll come back for sure! read more

Have visited since they were at the old location! Absolutely love coming to 30Hop when I have friends and family coming out of town or for a fun girls night! Service is always amazing and luckily, always get great servers that greet the table with a smile, are always friendly and interact with the table! Food and drink are always amazing no matter what you get. Servers will happily give recommendations and are always helpful! The ambiance of the new location is absolutely stunning. Love all the wood and green accents. Loved the first location but the new is absolutely beautiful. Also great when there is a band playing on the stage outside and you are seated by the window! Brought my parents here during October fest and they absolutely loved it! They are picky when it comes to restaurants but they were blown away by everything from food, service and our front row seats to the band! Will always recommend 30Hop to anyone that will listen! read more

The restaurant was nice & big, with outside seating. The food was good, with lots of variety & included vegan options. I had the chicken sandwich, with the chicken fried option. It was good, but only downside was the bread got soggy and the sandwich started to fall apart & get messy. That was my only "dang it" moment. read more

I think I read a review with the exact same experience. My family came to try it for the first time - there was no wait & we were immediately sat. We ordered a few drinks & the espresso martini was interesting - not a usual martini, was more of an iced latte. The frozen drink was also okay, wasn't super impressed. As for the food, incredible, we got the cauliflower wings - delicious with the Buffalo sauce, I could eat my body weight in them. We ordered the mushroom & Swiss sandwich. 100% misunderstood the menu, thinking it would include protein - it didn't, it was still delicious!! Their fries were incredible. The chipotle chicken tacos pack HEAT. We were sweating, however, honestly delicious as well. My less of a review is solely service. Our server was training, there wasn't that many tables in the place sat. We had to wave another server to get ours to come to our table to place our meals (hate doing this, cringe every time doing that) but, we got our orders placed. The service makes the experience for sure, it was just a let down. Need a little more attention to detail & maybe check ups after the food is delivered - to ensure everything's going ok & we don't need additional items would be appreciated. It's gorgeous in the interior & exterior & I look forward to visiting again & potentially updating my review. read more

Was close by for work so was looking up places you eat and found this place. Needless to say the sandwich was what pulled me in. Service was great very quick at seating me taking my order and bringing my food out. Let's just say this was much bigger than I thought but so good. Make sure to ask for extra napkins as it can get kinda messy. But my server brought me out some on request. The place looks very new and clean great lil spot in the corner of the building. Definitely will be back to try something new when I'm close. read more

Saturday night about 5:15, seated immediately and our waitress Shelby provided great service all night. Wife made sure I tipped better than normal. First time here and was excited to try new unique food options. We started what the Bang Bang brussel sprouts appetizer, and we couldn't finish it, as it was way to sweet for us. Not enough spice I got the Yakisoba Bowl and it was just meh for me, as again it was too heavily sauced and sweet for my taste. I ended up picking out the shrimp and veggies and leaving most of the saucy noodles. Wife and 10yo both got grilled salmon Poke bowl. The salmon was well cooked and plated nicely. Neither wanted the seaweed salad that came with so I got that, and I liked it. Kids burger was out forth meal for 7yo. He was done first, so it must have been acceptable.
