Really amazing chicken tenders with flavorful dips and excellent malted's. beer on tap is a plus.

Listen folks, I'm no prude. I had my share of fun in the seventies but there comes a time when every man must hang up the towel. Even Tom Brady has to retire from the game. Upon entering Hop + Grind I was reminded of my old ways. The food is nothing short of ooze-worthy, with creamy levels of goodness, moist, juicy burgers, and sloppy fries. But the innuendos need to stop. I don't need to think of lustful acts while slopping down a greasy bite. I mean, cmon, Hoggy Style? You people make me sick. Overall, a good place with a good vibe. Would come here again. read more

Smaller, more informal sibling to Tuckaway Tavern with a smaller menu (burgers and chicken) and an upbeat vibe. Bar serving craft beers. Burger: I went with the Beast Mode, which comes with two patties, cheese, double bacon, "Hop sauce," crispy onions, pickles, and maybe more. Can't really specify temp, so the patties a bit dry, but well-seasoned and really good beef flavor. I liked the creamy, zingy sauce. But that bacon! Flavorwise, among the best bacon I've ever had. Texturewise, I really liked the thickness and pliability, but this came at the expense of some crispness. I'll take that trade but same may not. I also really liked the bun, which is a seeded briochy model that's less dense than what I've had previously at Tuckaway. Overall, very good burger. Gimme some juiciness and it's a great burger. Fries: They come standard with the burgers and chicken. A small order, but enough to get by and nicely done. Many fries options with various add-ons. You can also get onion strings, even though they're not on the menu. Shake: I went with chocolate. Not as fudgy as some I've had, but tasted very natural, with the milk flavor coming through, no shortage of chocolate, and a consistently that's thick but very drinkable. Good accompaniment to the burger. Chicken Tenders: I split a trio that came with fries and choice of sauce. These were huge and flattened, kinda like a chicken parm. Very crisp, well-seasoned, and juicy in spots, not-so-juicy in other spots. Good flavor on its own and in tandem with our hot honey (generous cup), dry rub (ditto), and both. Friendly staff throughout. Looking forward to coming back. read more

While this wasn't our first time having food here, this was my first time inside eating and not doing takeout. I really enjoyed everything I ate and the Gunners Daughter Stout from the tap was a great addition to my meal. My wife who has an intolerance to Beef protein enjoyed her Uncle Ham but was seriously disappointed with the street corn practically swimming in juice/oil. Any other time we have street corn it's fried in a skillet or pan and usually is lightly browned with little to no juice. She really enjoyed the Stowe Cider Donut Cider. The young lady at the counter and the male bartender were both very friendly and helpful with both documenting and communicating her beef issues, and helping us with a great beverage to our lunch. I really enjoyed the retro decor but the music was a bit too loud for our taste. It was a Sunday on Homecoming Weekend on the campus. read more

The menu here is huge so I thought I'd try it! I got the Country Clubbin chicken sandwich and all the flavors combined to make a super delicious sandwich. Just awesome. Place was jumping, right in the middle of campus. Parking was tough but if you're patient you'll get a spot! Def check it out! read more

Went there with the freshman University of New Hampshire daughter. We ordered burgers and fries because what else? Plus the meats are from the Tuckaway Tavern. They were Good burgers. Very tasty& even the bun (which I usually do not eat) was decent. Tasty fries. Quick service. Clean restaurant with free water and nice setting . Solid restaurant & would come again. read more

There's a ton of unique sandwich/burger options and all of them sound great (only downside is the burgers are on the smaller side). The service is usually pretty quick too. The seating and bar make it feel like more of a sit down place despite the fast food type ordering. Definitely would recommend stopping in. read more

Fun, popular burger joint in a college town with vibrant artwork, couches, and an arcade machine at the entrance. Counter-service style lended even more to the casual vibe of the place. I got the belly burger with classic fries and their house made cream soda. They have a wide variety of burgers and sides, but I wasn't too impressed by the burger. Bacon and patty were tough and the fries were alright. The mozzarella sticks that pulled us into this restaurant from a ig reel were, however, fire. read more

This restaurant has a very relaxed atmosphere, to include a booth that's a straight up couch, Chive TV playing, and a free arcade cabinet. The service was very friendly and quick for as busy as they were. The only way this place fell down was their fried chicken. We had 2 piggy back burgers with fries hoggy style, and a morning glory burger with classic fries. The fries were very tasty all around, and the morning glory burger disappeared quickly. Those of us with the piggy back burger, however, had to struggle through the chicken, which heavily reminded me of Church's Chicken (if you've ever had that). A lot of flour dredge that then sucks the life out of your mouth when you eat it. We had such a good experience with the rest of the food, however, that I'm confident this is a solid choice of a restaurant to eat at (complete with its own visit from DDD). read more

Great atmosphere! Great food! Always enjoy an easy dinner at hop n grind. Service is also good

I've been going to here since they opened when I was in college. I remember when the basic B use to be $5. The basic prices are still affordable and yet so delicious. I typically don't drive out of the way to get food but I will drive 15 minutes to get a burger. The morning glory with truffle shuffle fries are the best. Every single order I get is always truffle shuffle fries. I couldn't recommend this place more. Fast, affordable and delicious. Beers on tap are great too. read more

Super fun! This place is eclectic and they know and have to live it. Great burgers and local beers. Cool vibe and lots of college students to keep it lively. My son loved his shake and burger. Fries were fresh. A bit of a line to order and trying to get a seat is.... Tough. Staff is very friendly. When it's busy, the kitchen is slow and it took about 25 minutes for our burgers. I'm sure staff knows they have long wait times but the burgers are great. Go have fun, have a couple beers and bring friends. read more

What an amazing little burger joint! I stopped in at a very quiet time of day (2pm on a Friday) and was so pleasantly surprised at the quality and taste of the food. I got the Basic B Burger which is such a laughable name because this burger is anything but BASIC! The pickles, crispy onions and hop sauce just took it over the top. I also had the Honky Tonk Blues side of fries which was amazing. SO many toppings. The hot honey was a nice touch. My son had the Cherry Bomb side and I think I actually liked that one better due to the cheese sauce. But I don't think you can go wrong except to not get some jazzed up fries. read more

Food was delicious & inventive. Familiar items (burgers, fries, macaroni salad) presented with different ingredients/ flavor profiles that made them new & exciting. I want to go back over & over to try everything on the menu. Frappe was extra thick & and delicious end to the meal. Waitstaff was friendly & knowledgeable. Downside for me was ordering at the counter. And the house-made soda was underwhelming. The food more than made up for it. read more

So good we went there twice! Loved the fried Mac and cheese. Caesar salad was perfectly chopped. . Family loved their burgers. Staff was super friendly. Old video games as table numbers- brilliant. 80s/90s feel. read more

HogMarleyBurger for the win! #TripleD #GuysGrocetyGame #TuckawayTavetn #GrindhouseMeatCo #hop+grind What's not to love? The Ultimate Barbecue Smokehouse Burger is how it's advertised and Bobby Marcotte (Tuckaway Tavern / hop + grind / Grindhouse Meat Co) delivers!!! Bobby is one of our favorite characters from his appearances on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives / Guy's Grocery Games. First of all its packed up in a cooler with ice packs to ensure the ingredients stay fresh and gets delivered overnight! There's enough for 6 burgers in the package..you get: 6 Hog Marley Burgers (Fresh ground pork shoulder infused with pecan smoked pork shoulder, dry age bacon, bbq sauce, cheddar cheese+onions then pecsn smoked) 6 Amazing Burger Buns Pecan Smoked Pork Shoulder (fully cooked) House BBQ Mustard Sauce Dry Aged Bacon Slices (fully cooked) Sharp White Cheddar Cheese Fresh Scallions OH MY LORD....WHAT A GREAT COMBINATION! The bun itself is tasty....soft but firm enough to hold up under the pressure of all the meaty goodness! Then the burger itself with all those different flavors packed in is like a full course meal unto itself...the Pecan Smoked Pork Shoulder could stand alone on its own but plays so very well with the Hog Marley Burger, top it off with some of the best Bacon on the planet, Sharp White Cheddar Cheese, and FRESH Scallions..YahMan its da real ting!! read more

Good and innovative variety of burgers. Nice selection of beers. This is one of those places (which unfortunately is becoming more common) where you do the work of the waitstaff yourself, yet they ask for a tip on their ipad screen at the counter when you pay. Ummmm no. read more

My review is a little late .. but here it goes . I tried this New Hampshire location on a whim . I'm not local to the area , and found it on my gps . I got the " BELLY" burger with " Parmed and Dangerous" fries . My order was take out due to Covid . And I'll honestly say that this is one of the best burgers , and fries I've ever had . All condiments were perfectly proportioned , as well as the fries .. and not to mention this all cost me at round $10 flat .. absolutely amazing establishment . And I'll be sure to go back again . Or try the other location . read more

We'd heard good things about Hop + Grind and gave it a try. Location, service, and the physical layout were good, but the food was mediocre. My bacon cheeseburger was overcooked and the bacon was very tough and chewy. If we're in the area I'd try Hop + Grind again, but I wouldn't make a special trip to eat there. read more

Hop n Grind is by far the best restaurant in Durham! Their burgers are so creative and delicious. I get something different every time I go here because everything is so good. A few of my favorites are... Parma Sutra El Guapo Taco Falafel and so many more! Their sides are also delicious. I normally get the pig pile fries but everything tastes amazing. They also have great beers on tap and canned. I normally sit at the bar when I go here. They have service at the bar. Otherwise, you order when you walk in and they deliver your food to your table. Must try! 10/10 would recommend read more

The best chicken sandwich! Unfortunately, it was freshman move in and wait was pretty long, but not their fault!

I got the $12 piggyback burger + beef tallow fries. Absolutely lightening speed service. We got waters from the gatorade jugs around the restaurant, and within probably 5 minutes our food was out ... a little *too* fast, but what are you gonna do. The piggyback was a piece of fried chicken, couple slices of bacon, fried onions atop a burger with some American cheese. It was a well done patty, and could have been juicer imo, but the chicken was quite good. I really like the ketchup because it wasn't the typical smooth Heinze, with a slight tang of flavor. The mayo wasn't your average Hellman's, with flecks of black pepper. Definitely made the meal different in a good way. I'd give the food a 3 stars, but the staff was very friendly and it came out so quickly. Although you seat yourself after you order, we were checked up on a couple times after we got our food therefore +1 star. Decoration was dope - I loved the vintage video game used to mark your order at your table. Great selection of beers, and overall just a great atmosphere. read more

If you are expecting fast service, do not order here. We were told our order will be ready at 5:50. We ordered it at five. I did not say the ready time until we had already ordered. We came at 5:50 expecting our order, it took about 30 minutes extra. It is just upsetting because the workers were not very nice about it when we asked where our order was. I said it's not online that I was going to take until 550. And they said that they are overwhelmed with orders. A good recommendation would be to not take orders if you cannot handle it. Very upsetting. Good food but not good customer service. I would've asked for a refund, but they all seem very stressed out. read more

Do not miss this place if you're in the area. Emma greeted us and was very helpful with our order. We had burgers of various sorts and a bbq pulled pork sandwich. They were all delicious and various loaded fry options were all gobbled up. Don't miss the cheese sticks. Super nice staff, great quality food. Very clean. Tip: park on the street, don't try to pull into the small lot. read more

Great burger and beer selection - can get crowded. Outdoor seating during nice weather is a plus!

Was looking for a place to meet some friends for lunch in the Portsmouth area and stumbled upon the great Yelp reviews for Hop + Grind. We were promptly seated upon arrival. The interior has such cool decoration and is full of awesome relics. The restaurant was still being COVID-friendly (much appreciated) - we placed our orders via a QR code at the table. They had an excellent craft beer selection, which made the experience for me. Between the 4 of us, we tried the Greece Lightning, Hot Chick, and Fun Guy with varying sides of fries. They were delicious and everyone was very happy with their food. Good stuff and killer vibe! read more

It is a rare thing when I feel like I should give 5 stars. The Hop + Grind deserves every star. The service was good and the food was great. Talk about an awesome combination. I got the Bomb Diggity burger without mushrooms. It was extremely good. I upgraded to the Cherry Bomb fries. Delicious! Then I got their homemade lemon lime soda. Just awesome! Just as awesome was the atmosphere. A great combination of college, family, and friends. There were people at the bar drinking and watching the Patriots beat the Jets. College students at many of the tables enjoying the weekend and parents with their children enjoying burgers. Hop + Grind = Delicious + Fun + Awesome read more

I want to start this off by saying that the service is great and I was greeted with kindness. My girlfriend and I shared a Mac daddy burger and the Kimcheezy fries.

Tried for the first time today. The fried chicken honky tonk sando was terrible - dredged in cayenne pepper and that's all I could taste - it wasn't even the heat, but the texture, the breading was dusty tasting (imagine eating cayenne pepper and paprika with a spoon). Chicken was so thin, you could not really peel off the breading. It was inedible. The carrot slaw, strawberry lemonade, and my friend's fries (which became my lunch) were excellent. A great vibe in there and I will try again with a different meal. read more

The food is great, fries are awesome. It's a neat little dive. The ordering processes and lack of waitstaff are peculiarly odd. The turnovers slow so expect a wait. It could be amazing if they had waitstaff. There's just no flow read more
