    Had a burger craving and Hops made my day! I ordered a medium, 6oz hops burger as is, with a side of fries. This was on a Saturday evening and the restaurant had a couple folks waiting to be seated when I arrived. Within 5 minutes or so, I was happily seated at the bar. Which appeared to have the most available seats. I ordered their dragonfruit mocktail, which turned out to be very sweet, so may request more ginger beer next time. Otherwise, it was a nice beverage while I waited for my order. The bar staff offered suggestions for the menu and I even caught a glimpse of their burger special, posted at the bar. This changes regularly, so be sure to keep an eye out if you're feeling adventurous. I landed on the hops burger and fries. The order was made fresh with the tomato, lettuce bacon and onions! Each bite filled my burger craving. The cheese was melted nicely with just enough of the condiments, that didn't overshadow the perfect medium cook on the burger. This carry out order was still hot when I arrived home. The burger was juicy, and fries crispy with the right amount of love added. I'd definitely return to sit in and enjoy a game or two at the bar. The inside has bar seating and tables, likely good for couples or smaller groups. They have a private lot for parking but it may be difficult to find a spot on a busy day. There may also be street parking available.

    Great ambiance, the music selection was on point. Great food, service could be better with the attentiveness Overall my food was amazing the burger was cooked perfectly. Not pictured, I also received the fried green tomatoes 10/10. Definitely will be back,

    I used to frequent this place when they first opened. It was such a fun vibe and I loved their patio. I visited today and have to say that while the food was delicious I took away a star because I was a little disappointed by a few things. We sat on the patio and waited and waited to be served. It was not until I got up and headed to the door when a server saw us and walked out to take our order. I am also a little saddened by the cover and ceiling on the patio. I loved the open concept it used to have. Otherwise the food was wonderful and we were taken decent care of after the initial hiccup.

    He Said: We needed a nice walk after driving into town for Billy Strings, plus a nice beer and some chow. Hops definitely fit the bill. With Ben as our excellent bartender we were in good hands. I had the haddock sandwich (though the soft shell crab sandwich was quite tempting) and it was really good. Not too oily, not overcooked, fresh ingredients on top, and a tasty bun. We also got a side of onion rings and they were quite good, using red onion rather than the usual yellow with a crispy and thin batter. Their tap selection is equalled, or even out-done, by their canned choices, with many local 16ozers to try. She Said: I was tempted by a burger, but I decided to go with the crab balls appetizer and some hot chips. I was quite pleased with those choices. The crab balls actually taste like crab with little filler and they have a nice crunch on the outside. The chips are also really good. As he noted, the beer selection would have been enough to draw us in; the good food and Ben-the-Bartender were awesome bonuses. Potty Points: 3/5 potty points. Available when I needed it!

    This is my favorite Hops location of the two. I love that it's darker and more "bar" like than the other location. Their burgers are also always out of this world. I'm stuck on the French onion burger and the spicy goat but the burger patty itself is always cooked perfectly, seasoned to perfection, and is soft like butter. The toppings are just an added bonus. I also love the broad menu of fry options and they now have THC mocktails which is my go to. I'll never stop loving Hops, especially on spring garden!

    We went on Saturday afternoon between lunch and dinner hoping we wouldn't have to wait too long. Good move we only had to wait about 10 minutes before being seated. They were busy even for this time of day. It was rather noisy, but not over bearing. Our server was very pleasant, despite being busy. The food took about 20 minutes to come out, so imagine our surprise that the burgers were under cooked. We decided to eat them anyway as we were hungry. I will say they do need to clean better it was dirty inside. There was a grill panel hanging loosely from a vent right over bar patrons. My friend mentioned it and said they better hope it doesn't fall on someone. I hope it doesn't.

    Our family enjoyed Saturday lunch at Hops Burger Bar. The burgers were huge and delicious and service was good. This is a popular place. When I told friends that we ate here (or they saw my pictures on social media), I learned several had already been and had nothing but good things to say. My wife found this place on Yelp. At the time of writing this review, Hops has an average rating of 4.5 stars with 1.7k reviews. 1.7k Yelp reviews is a lot for any business, especially one in the Triad. There are two Hops locations. This review is for the original on Spring Garden St, near the Greensboro Coliseum and UNCG. It opened in 2013. A second location opened in 2016 on Lawndale Dr (Battleground Ave). Parking lots around the restaurant were full or reserved for other restaurants (Scrambled, Bites and Pints). Even street parking down Howard St was full. There was plenty of free street parking south around the corner on Hiatt St, though. That's where we parked. We showed up with a party of seven right around 1pm. We waited 10-15 minutes for a table inside. We could've been seated immediately outside on the covered patio, but it was too hot. This is a casual, local joint that's not terribly big. We had three generations with us. There was something on the menu for everyone from grandpa and grandma down to the grandkids. Everyone in our group got a burger, but me. I got the blackboard special: Fish & Chips. My wife and I shared. I also had some of her North Carolinian burger, which my mom also got. Here's what I tried: * Fish & Chips sandwich ($15) - beer-battered haddock filet topped with arugula, Tabasco-spiked red onions, and tomato and lemon-caper remoulade on a toasted hoagie roll; served with a side of seasoned chips and malt vinegar dip * North Carolinian burger (6 oz $14) - a "farm-fresh" fried egg, applewood bacon, pimento cheese, fried green tomato, and lettuce Different from a lot of other burger joints, Hops offers burgers in multiple sizes, (6 oz, 8 oz, and 12 oz), temperatures, and even different bun options (e.g., brioche, whole wheat Kaiser roll, pretzel roll). Some/most places only offer one size and one temperature (well done). You can also create your own custom burger if you want. Hops' burgers are made with hand-pressed Angus chuck beef blends. The North Carolinian burger was fresh, tasty, and satisfying. It was stacked high and almost too big to eat with my hands. One friend commented that Hops burgers are so big, they need a fork and knife. That's how I ate my Fish & Chips sandwich. It was ginormous. My wife was able to hand it with her hands, though. For me, it got too messy. Along with sides (e.g, fries, chips, onion rings), my sandwich and all the burgers were served with a pickled peperoncino toothpicked on top. The burgers also came with a pickle spear. I don't remember if my Fish & Chips sandwich came with one. Imagine eating fish and chips, but in a giant sub sandwich form. That's what Hops' Fish & Chips was like. No tartar sauce either, but that's okay - the remoulade and malt vinegar dip were enough. The sandwich and burgers were very filling. One friend told me to try The Spicy Goat burger ($13.75-$16.75). It comes with goat cheese, applewood bacon, sweet and spicy pepper jelly, and lettuce. Another friend told me to try the beer. The place is named Hops after all. She said that's what she goes to Hops for. I noticed they had a lot on draft. Maybe next time. Our server was polite and efficient. Service was slow, not only for us, but the tables of people who arrived after us too. I think the restaurant was backed up and/or short-staffed at the time of our visit. I believe my dad asked for his burger medium rare, but it came out well done. Our server and the manager made it right. Thank you to them for that.

    North Carolinian Burger was fire!

    Love this place! My cousin took me here and the North Carolinian Burger was fire! The wings and onion rings too!

    It's my regular burger spot. Whatever you order, it is going to be delicious! One personal experience: I highly recommend to visit Hops burger spring garden Street instead of other one. When I went to different locations (Lawndale/Battleground) , the host was not nice and very not professional (for example, we asked for low top but she was ignoring us) my colleague was really upset and we had to leave.

    Diablo Burger & Carolina Red Onion Rings
    Sherelle L.

    Yes yes yes!!! I was craving a burger and onion rings and this place exceeded my expectations! The onion rings my goodness were the best onion rings I have ever had. Who would have thought that switching to red onions would make such a big difference! The burgers were big, topped with great stuff, and cooked perfectly. I literally have no complaints. This place eating and over 1,000 reviews makes so much sense! If you haven't tried them go ahead and bless yourself with a good meal.

    Burgers, onion rings, potato wedges
    Roben B.

    Does the food match the hype? Absolutely. This place was jam packed, but luckily opportunity struck and we waited about 5 minutes. We shared a Diablo and North Carolinian Burger along with some wedges and onion rings. We had the burgers cooked to a perfect medium since the patties are a little thick. The buns and veggies were nice and fresh and the burger came with a pickle spear. Great flavor all around with good execution and speed despite how busy it was. The wedges were crispy with a good bite and my only piece of feedback is that the batter on the onion was too thin. They were crispy for sure, but the batter disintegrated off the onion rings as soon as you touched them. The brews they have on tap rotate and when reading the board I wish they wrote down what kind of beer it was and the ABV so that I didn't have to look each one up myself. Service: We were checked on frequently after being seated which was appreciated. A well mannered and attentive staff that kept their cool in the chaos. Ambiance: The place becomes literally shoulder to shoulder in the waiting and the bar area and if you can get past that or come at a quieter time then it's totally worth it. Parking here is very competitive and spills out onto the street, but overall a choice sit down burger spot.

    Plain burger and fries
    Jose Z.

    We came to hops with the family for lunch. We enter and noticed it was kind of busy so it took a moment to get sat, but no longer than a couple of minutes while they cleared a table off. The restaurant is not that large but there were multiple tables that had some groups of up to four people at the time. It's casual vibe at this spot but the staff are really nice. Our server was prompt to take our order and bring us out drinks. Our food did take a little longer than expected but understandably due to how busy they were at that time. I went with the Hops classic and my son had a plain burger with fries. My hops classic burger was a decent portion and cooked properly as well as topped with fresh lettuce and tomato. The fries were really good and airy/crispy. My son didn't complain about his plain burger.

    Lacee E.

    Great, solid service all around. The wait staff made excellent recommendations and were very attentive. I tried a sour beer that somehow tasted like a PB&J. Something you really have to experience to believe. The vibe is calm and quiet, definitely not reflective of campus life. It's a big step up from Jake's Billiards, and the beer selection is extensive. Highly recommend for a more grown-up beer-and-dinner experience.

    How crowded / wait time is there on a Tuesday around 5:30pm? We have an event to attend that starts at 7:30pm and want to have a tasty dinner.

    We were there last Tuesday at 6:00 and waited 30 minutes to be seated. We were a group of 8 and were split-up and were served and out by 7:30

    I'll be coming here for the first time next week so I was wondering if y'all take discover card?

The vibe is warm and laid-back, with cozy couches, plenty of tables for groups or families, and four TVs so you can catch whatever game you're into. Their rotating draft list is always on point, and I love that tap #1 is always a cider, a thoughtful touch for those who like to switch things up. The cooler is packed with even more options in cans and bottles, so there's always something new to discover including CBD and Seltzer options, and if beer's not your thing, they've got cocktails priced right in line with other local spots. Terminal Tap also keeps things lively with Music Bingo on Mondays (shoutout to DJ Ok and Isaac!), Trivia on Thursdays (Let's go Mike and Katherine), and a steady lineup of community events, charity fundraisers, and local meetups. Dogs are welcome on leash, adding to the neighborhood charm. While they don't serve food, you're welcome to bring your own -- I even made ramen with friends during a recent trivia night! Whether you're a craft beer enthusiast or just looking for a friendly, place to unwind, Terminal Tap is absolutely worth checking out. Bonus they dress up the place seasonally too. Cheers!

Kau and Cugino Forno have been staples for a while, Grapes and Grains right next door opened up last year (2025), and now Incendiary. You could hop from here to Grapes and on to Kau in a matter of a few steps. And there's a sign for a hip new taco joint opening up soon, which almost shares a huge outdoor patio with Incendiary. Love how this area is growing! The brewery itself has an amazing indoor and outdoor space with plenty of seating inside and out. Large garage door style opening makes it seamless between the interior and exterior. Amazing selection of craft brews, wines, spirits and even ciders. The beer selection is huge, something for everyone. And for those that don't drink beer, plenty of other options available. They also allow outside food, which is great now, and even better when the taco joint next door is finished. The outdoor spaces with numerous patios out the front and side offer comfortable seating and great views of the core of the Mill. Also plenty of area for kids to play with a grassy area and a small pond. Kid and dog friendly inside and out. Weekly events and live music add to the fun all week long. This will be a go to for us for years to come. So glad they added something like this to the Revolution Mill area!

In fact, it was a little odd that there was actually not a full house. They allow people to bring in outside food or order from the local restaurants. The prices are reasonable and I really enjoyed the tangie dream and the lemon ginger pear seltzer. The honey blonde was happier than expected, which was not really my jam. The crowd was very much influenced by the fact that it is basically inside of the Revolution Mill housing area. Folks a little bit older and a little more upper-middle class than your typical brewery crowd based on my general impression. Like I said, though, it was a really light crowd, so I wouldn't probably go here to try to mingle or meet people. Also, parking was really confusing. However, the space is beautiful, there's ample seating, and I was really happy with the beer and seltzer. So, overall a solid pic for a place to grab some drinks if you are in the area.
