Just stopping by to add an updated review based on a recommendation to try the pork belly tacos. We stopped in at the latter part of happy hour, and were seated outdoors next to a welcoming L.P. fire pit (it was a bit chilly, so this was perfect). Everyone seemed to be socially distanced, and wearing masks when leaving their "bubble" of a table, which was great to see. Staff were also all wearing masks. We ordered drinks, a Big Grove West Main Wheat and IPA which were great. Our appetizer of brussels however were undercooked (some of the larger pieces still raw) and should have been blanched and fried a little longer. Our tacos arrived shortly after; Short Rib, Pork Belly and Chicken Tinga. All three were delicious. I'm not aware of another restaurant in the area serving crispy pork belly period, let alone in tacos. Will definitely be back for more! read more

Pricey, music is ....don't know what you call it but definitely put you to sleep Good beer selection and polite and attentive staff!! read more

30hop - 20$ for what you see in photo without tip or taxes , make your own decision. - Beer Bar Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

They have excellent food and the service is always great, I had the brisket grilled cheese for lunch. It was fabulous. The pomegranate mule is also excellent. read more

I got takeout but really liked the ambiance and overall vibe of this place. Since returning to Cedar Rapids from Chicago I've been on the prowl for really delicious food, and I found a yummy salad at 30Hop. I got the ChopChop and it was super-delicious. My friends call me a food snob, so take that into consideration on this review. read more

EVERYTIME I have been here, we barely see our waiter or waitress! They disappear into the back or are on their phones at the bar... During brunch hours the servers barely come back to your table to ask if you want another beverage (bottomless mimosas) I feel this is how they get their bang for their buck. A few rude waitresses I have encountered (young females probably fresh out of high school). I feel good is way to over priced! For happy hour I ordered the chorizo queso and chips.... The queso tasted like a cheeseburger soup and the chips were very stale. Food I feel is a tad overpriced, and most of it you can make at home. Great looking place, just service needs to step it up! read more

Jerks have been so many times I even waited for my drinks! Emily is a real pain for avoiding issues about service!!! 15 mins and she doesn't even make her self or any other person on staff! Cam as well he takes 4 other orders before me as I was there before them! read more

Took a LONG time to be seated even though the dining area wasn't full. My short rib tacos (along with other meals) took a LONG time. Food tasted GREAT - almost worth the wait. My friend liked hand dryers in the women's bathroom read more

30hop - Nobody here - Beer Bar Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

I got a turkey panini with chorizo street corn. The panini was full of flavor and extremely enjoyable. The street corn was just not my jive the seasoning that was placed on top I just did not enjoy. The reasons why 30 hop only gets 3 stars and not anything higher even though the food was great was my server seemed to forget about me and the prices for the food is a bit higher then I would like. I enjoy the food enough I will find myself back every so often. read more

30hop - Turkey Panini with Chorizo Street Corn - Beer Bar Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Great food & service! Bartender was helpful with suggestions. We got chips & queso and they were both great and flavorful! Fries were also crispy and seasoning was flavorful! Burger could have used more toppings but it was your normal burger. read more

Update: Still love 30 Hop! I am never disappointed in the service or food :). Tonight I went in to try a few of their new menu items. My eye was on the Nashville Chicken Sammie. I loved Nashville Hot chicken when I was down there this summer, thus I was so excited to try this. This sandwich was very, very good - however I wouldn't call it a "Nashville Chicken." There was not enough heat to the chicken and usually the chicken is coated in a hot sauce. Although it wasn't what I was hoping for it was still good. I ate every single bite! Oh Em Gee!! This was phenomenal even during opening week!! Staff was great and attentive, ginormous drink selection, and delectable food! We knew we would love it as we love 30 hop in Coralville, but sooo glad they opened a place in CR! This building features a variety of seating options and has an upstairs patio with string lights, a bar, TVs, and comfy furniture...all they need are fire pits! The one downfall this restaurant has is limited parking...the parking lot is WAY too small!! Enough about the facility, let's get to the foodTonight we had the pretzel bites which were buttery and salty with the choice of a honey mustard or cheese dipping sauce (so good!) I had the tenderloin which was made with Panko crumbs and topped with jalapeños, pickles onions, pickles, and dynamite sauce... it had a wonderful sweet and salty combo! The fries also were 5 Stars - perfect crisp, Golden brown, and seasoned perfectly. My husband and brother had the Korean bbq which had a spicy kick to it, but was gobbled up quickly! Cannot wait to go back and try other items and beers :) go check it out, you won't be disappointed! read more

Went on a Wednesday night with a group of 10. It was a good thing we got there a little before 5, because it was packed. It's a really cool space, good atmosphere and a great drink list. There wasn't a great setup for a large group to be able to talk. To a person, everyone loved their food! On my end of the table I saw the Umami Burger, 50/50 burger, salmon BLT, and the Poke bowl. The fries were outstanding too! For happy hour, which is 3-6, it was $2 off any Iowa brewed beer. They have a bunch of good ones, and I like to support local, so I thought it was a great idea. I will be back for sure! If you're a group of 6+ you probably won't be able to be in the same conversation. That wasn't a big deal for us, but is worth mentioning. read more

Loved the roof top bar/restaurant area. A great staff, wonderful Manhattan made their way! Food was good and staff was hard working and very friendly, great place to go. read more

I'm an out of towner so was looking for something good, and this place was great. Lots of options and delicious drinks

This place knows neither food nor beer. Want a lager? You'll get a hop-bomb or a Belgian White called a Heffe. Want a 'Nashville Hot' chicken sandwich? You'll get an inedibly tough piece of fried chicken that actually isn't cooked 'Nashville Hot' and is just breaded in spices then drizzled with mayo and hot sauce. The slaw topping is indistinguishable and nondescript. Would give 1 star, but the beer selection loo reasonable and this place has potential for beer, it they just knew how to categorize beers. Regardless, I'd avoid the food. read more

Tried the Restaurant Week Menu Yaki Carbonara Daily Special $15 noodles, prime rib, shiitake mushrooms, peas, bacon, cream, Parmesan, soy egg, chive, taki sauce for restaurant week. Good flavor but would have preferred a softer egg on carbonara. The Brussels sprouts were excellent- can see why people love them. Blistered shushito peppers were good. The chorizo Mac was full of flavors and a huge serving- def recommend! The mixed drinks were ok- should know to stick to beer at a place called 30 Hop! The server was excellent and apologized when our entrees arrived a minute after our apps. read more

Decent food. Decent drinks. A decent place to take family or meet up with friends. Something for everyone (sports on TVs, patio, fire pit/heaters, atmosphere and a variety of foods). Nothing to knock your socks off but you won't leave feeling disappointed. read more

Great service and food is always delicious regardless of what you order in the menu. The atmosphere is alway fun and inviting

Great and extensive drink menu and good food. Service has always been attentive and nice which is appreciated!

This was only our 2nd time coming to 30 Hop. We were there about a year ago with friends and had a pleasant experience then as well. I mainly came back for their Brussels! So delicious! I ordered the Sirloin special with sweet potatoes augratin and rice pilaf! I enjoyed every bite and my steak was cooked perfectly. I don't remember the name of my husband's entree, but it was a Japanese steak sandwich. He was super pleased as well. Our server Clayton was awesome. He kept apologizing for things being slow, but it never felt slow to us. It was a Friday night at 6 PM after all. We will definitely be back! Thank you for such a great experience! We will definitely be back! read more

Wow, where did this place come from? I visited CR earlier this year and struggled to find a "good" spot to go. Even a chain like Chili's was horrible. Fast forward to now (early December)...there is no place within miles that compares. The atmosphere is awesome and the menu is very creative. The other night I had the Yakisoba Bowl. Really good but a little salty. Tonight I had the Poke Bowl...spot on!! Oh, yea...they have beer too! Meghan, Rich and Nichole are awesome! Hands down, an awesome place! read more

Service was excellent, went for a late lunch/early dinner shortly after they opened. Can see where parking will be an issues on nights/weekends but still have to say - WORTH IT! Our app was the Brussels sprouts which came out over cooked (looked and tasted burnt) and upon my inquiry of how they were supposed to be, the server confirmed they looked beyond down and had another order made (the ones pictured). Tasted much better on round 2. Had been dying to try a spin on a poke bowl and this was the Midwestern style fix! All the elements came together for a perfectly planned dish, lots of textures and flavors. Flavorful and satisfying without being heavy. My fiancé enjoyed the tenderloin, very much! My bite of it was quite tasty as well. Definitely a messy sandwich, liquid dripping all over but he didn't seem to care considering the quality of the dish. Well prepared with bold flavors. Loved the mini beer option for people like me who aren't all about the giant mug (16 oz is too much for me) and just want a taste. An easy way to please both in our party - good drinks, great food and helpful servers. Excited to tackle a mixed drink and more menu items on our next visit (soon!) read more

This restaurant and building would be a great idea, if it was located on a lake front or ocean front. Instead it overlooks Blair's Ferry Road and Target! It does offer a little class for the area and a decent menu and atmosphere. read more

Great casual dinner spot in Cedar Rapids! Almost walking distance from the Marriott; the front desk suggested this spot for dinner. The facility is great: casual yet trendy feel. The downstairs area was very happening, but since I was solo I went to the upstairs bar. Great spot upstairs with a full bar and TVs; a more quiet/private setting up there. They also have an outdoor/upstairs patio that would be a great hangout spot during the summer. The service was top notch, and I really enjoyed the food. The Brussels as an app; I highly recommend. The ahi tuna bowl main course is great as well. The bartender was awesome; she made a mean martini and provided excellent service. I highly recommend this spot for a casual dinner/happy hour if you are in the area. read more

Good service, good beer, good food. What else do you need. Highly recommend a few of their IPA's.

I enjoyed my trip here on a recent Saturday afternoon. We sat in the covered patio and everything was tasty-Salmon BLT, chicken tacos (chips and salsa on side were great). read more

The food was tasty and service was fine. 3 stars bc the menu described a dish, "veggie mac: GRILLED ASPARAGUS, CHERRY TOMATO, BUTTERNUT SQUASH, BRUSSELS, THREE CHEESE FONDUE, PANKO". When it came, the total amount of vegetables would have fit on a table spoon. Not a single squash, didn't see tomatoes, a few slivers of Brussels (maybe why the menu said "Brussels" and not brussel sprouts? It was a very large bowl of rotini pasta. Beware. Hope this helps others when navigating the menu. We were really surprised. The fish tacos were pretty good. Nice atmosphere and table. High backs to booths. read more

I wrote most of this on my check in, but we sat in the rooftop and enjoyed fantastic food and some great IA beers. Rocky was our server, and he was really welcoming. Went beyond the call of duty to ensure we had ice for our cooler for the family trip back home to Indy. Chicken bacon ranch sandwich was super, and the kids reported their chicken tenders and fries were great. Big portions! read more

Visited on a Sunday afternoon. There was 4 of us and we were seated right away! Love the chalk art I. This place, didn't get pictures but it's amazing. Great beer list, service was ok. We ordered truffle fries and chips and quasi. Both are delicious! I particularly love the fried basil leaves on the fries. Nothing to complain about here. Happy hour from 3-6, $2 off all Iowa brewed beer, $3 off all mules and cocktails. Cheaper appetizers too. Go to place for huge beer selections, and good appetizers. read more

Just tried their vegan burger with vegan cheese, and I could not get on the yelp app on my phone fast enough. The first vegan cheese item I've had that wasn't a disappointment. If you gave me a blind taste test, I would've said it was real cheese. This has been the most elusive item in my vegan diet: the elusive vegan cheese that tastes like real cheese, and I finally found it here. I'm so happy. The patty was great as well. I ordered it to go so I can't factor in the dining experience in my rating, but the food I got was fantastic. Edit: I had to change my review from 5 stars to 4. They just raised the prices and it's starting to get a little on the expensive side. Also, they can occasionally give you a less than plentiful amount of fries. But the service and the food are still great. read more

Tried this place for the first time today since were not from Iowa, and it was awesome. The waiter we had was a middle aged man that was the most polite and helpful waiter I've probably ever had. The food was also really really good. We got the ahi tuna poke bowls, brisket tacos , and chicken tenders- and they were all awesome. Not overly priced since the food was so good. Will definitely be coming back and I highly recommend this place. read more

I am not the type to leave reviews, as in fact this is my first review; but I feel that it is important. The quality in food, staff, and overall experience has diminished quite severely. I'm not sure if they changed management or what happened, but the employees have no idea what is going on. My server seemed scared to grab her GM about a food mess up, it is not the 30hop I've come to know and love. There is no urgency in this place, and when watching employees the teamwork is non-existent. The food is always good, a bit pricey but I understand that is how the food market is now. The bartenders sit on their phone, and have to look at some sheet while making drinks. 9 months ago this was not the case. I just wish this company the best of luck moving forward. I really do want to like 30hop as much as I used to. I hope something changes here shortly or even bring their old staff back! read more

I just moved here a few months ago from out of state, and 30 hop has been my favorite place yet. YAY for gluten-free options! I ordered their Ahi Bowl and Buffalo cauliflower which was delicious. As someone with past experience working in healthcare, I appreciate their COVID-19 health and safety practices to have employees wear masks when handling my food! I highly recommend this place and will be back again. read more

This restaurant is mediocre. I've gone a few times, and always left feeling "meh". Be prepared to pay $20 for an extremely average burger. Usually overcooked. Today got takeout and there was garbage in my bag along with these fries. Too nauseated to even eat. I contacted the manager, who put me in contact with the owner who sounded like the most annoying whiney little man ever. No offer to refund disgusting food and he refused to admit there could be garbage (lime and lemon PEELS) in our take out bag. Needless to say I will never be returning read more

30hop - disgusting fries take out - Beer Bar Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Great selection of beer and good mixed drinks. Burgers are delicious, as are other things on menu. People are friendly.

We tried the 30 Hop at The Iowa River landing after a medical appointment. The service was decidedly indifferent. The food we ordered was common fare at an exorbitant cost and definitely beyond ordinary and quite tasteless. Huge plate. Small portion and no garnish made the meal puny and uninteresting. I regretted my push to go there. read more

Great happy hour with food and drink specials! Service is always on point. Highly recommend the "Umami burger", Brussels sprouts, and anything on their cocktail menu! Good option to take family and friends to as there is something on the menu for everyone. Don't let the parking lot scare you! We've never waited longer than 15 minutes for a table. read more

Had the Turkey Panini with fries and a pomegranate blueberry mule. Everything was very good, I will definitely be back. Our waitress was great, I only had a problem with the seating as we were sat at a table in a small and crowded at times, spot. It was right by the stairs and with enough room for 1-2 people to pass between our table and the bar it got a little hectic at times. Next time we will choose a booth (: read more

Service was horrible, portions per cost were ridiculous. It might be hopping place but you definitely don't get what you pay for. And the taste of the food isn't with the price either. Honestly for how much people talk about this place it was very disappointing. Won't be back unless it changes management or ownership. read more

Great food and lots of yummy beers on tap!!! The place has a fun atmosphere and the staff is very good. Well done!
