Bar is great to stop in to catch a drink but dining-in for any of the platters ... quality is better elsewhere. Example, if you wanna eat burgers go to a place that specializes in that cuisine. Bottom line if you pay cheap then that equates to the "quality" of the meal. read more

I love this place. Servers rock and manage is too cool. Great watermelon lemon drops and, of course, double tall sapphire and tonic with lime! Best place for football and, I'll be here again for game day this year-h*ll yah A+ Joe read more

We went early so, no waiting to be seated!Ordered 8 drinks and 8 meals, all came in good time and all looked and tasted delicious. Ordered more drinks!! read more

The food is pretty tasty I'm ngl, the big drawback is every time I eat there 3 bites in there's enough grease in my stomach to make my stomach feel like it's going 5 rounds with Mike Tyson and I nearly shit myself every time. Doesn't help I'm lactose intolerant and get the mac n cheese:( the servers are always hella nice though :) 6/10 food the experience after at home 2/10 read more

Amazing Mother's Day dinner here. Our server, Ashley, was so sweet and thoughtful. We were gifted with flowers and happy hour lemon drops! 10/10 would recommend. read more

Service: Prompt seating with staff that's always willing to help make your experience better. The manager was making rounds on all tables and asked if we needed anything. I said some more sauce and not only did we get more but he personally went to get it instead of asking someone else, much respect to that. Food/Drinks: The food was great, my gf got the nachos and they were willing to accommodate her requests. My burger was amazing and so were the tots. The white gummy bear martini was good and the added gummy bears at the bottom of the ice cup were a fun addition. Location/Atmosphere: A bit on the noisy side, but there was a birthday party at the table next to us so I can't blame them. But the tables and floor was clean and so was the bathroom. read more

this was a landing place for a bit of a reunion. one of my friends was back in town visiting and we came to munch a bit and grab a brew or two. we grabbed a long table in the bar and chatted for hours. staff was friendly and then we ended up with some food. pub fare was fine and nobody gave us grief for taking up a table for so long. it wasn't so noisy that we couldn't hear despite the place starting to fill up. not a bad landing place to meet. read more

We love to grab a drink and meal here, the entire staff is so nice, always smiling. The food is great as well but mostly the people.

place is great but there's a bullet hole, just right above our heads. it was the first thing i saw when i sat down and i was very surprised. the food is great tho, the gun shot just ruined the mood edit: it's a bb hole, still very dangerous but yet again food is very good !! read more

The food was really good. I had the chicken sandwich which was delicious. The ingredients seemed really fresh. The service was great! Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu, beer and very personable which made the experience even better. If I'm in the area again, I would definitely go back. read more

We happened to stumble on to this restaurant while looking for something to eat. It's a chain but this one in particular is located in a very nice and clean area. Their location is 8 minutes off the highway in a shopping center. Parking is easy and plentiful. Once inside, we were greeted very quickly and friendly by John (who was going to be our server). He was very attentive and gave us some recommendations from the menu when we asked him. He even brought us a specialty menu and a calories menu when we requested calories. He always had a smile and was professional. We then asked for starters, their cheese sticks (which were very good). We also ordered their buffalo boneless chicken wings, chicken club wrap and a Children's chicken tenders. All the food, came out quickly, perfect temperature and tasted great! This establishment is beyond excellent and John truly made our experience amazing. It's hard nowadays to find a restaurant that has great food and amazing service. So if you are in the area, you will not regret coming here! Ask for John, for excellent service with a smile. read more

I really wanted to like this place! My kids like their fish n chips and mozzarella sticks, they've got great beers, yummy lemonades...But the service is so hit and miss. I feel takes too long, and after it comes the staff isn't exactly attentive. We've had our orders messed up 3/5 times we've been. read more

Hop Jack's used to have happy hour that was worth the money. However they have raised the prices across the board by more than a dollar, making the menu not worth it in my opinion. At this price point I'd rather go to a tapas bar or order entrees. The food is slightly better than places like Applebees. Not bad but never great. It's acceptable drinking food and they have good beer prices. The basil cocktail was good. read more

Fish and chips are always good. I mostly get takeout but eating in has been a nice experience most times. When it isn't, it's people and their feral children, not the restaurant's fault. read more

So with it being as hot as it's been lately, the wife and I have been ordering food more. We thought we had hit all of our usual favorite choices on Door Dash, but then came across this place and were definitely glad we selected it. We got the following items: 1. 4 piece Fish and Chips 2. Tempura Zucchini 3. Big Tony's BBQ Mac. Food came quick and was fairly fresh over all. (you have to grade on a bit of a curve when you're having fresh food brought to you via a 30 minute average delivery, especially when you order anything fried). The tempura zucchini were delicious, lightly breaded, still a bit crunchy and the ranch it came with was a lovely addition. The wife liked the fish and chips, admittedly the fish was a little overly breaded, but that's more a preference thing and not necessarily a ding on the restaurant. The Mac was delicious, however I really couldn't detect any BBQ sauce or bacon (which I swear is what it said it came with). It also was a bit greasy, but honestly, I ate every bite and would definitely get it again. :) There were numerous other choices on there that caught our eye. While we're unlikely to do the sit down dining thing any time soon cause of COVID, I can definitely say that we'll be giving these guys another look next time we order in! read more

We stopped in here for lunch after a doctor's appointment. Hubs had fish tacos; I had fish & chips. The food was good but the service was AMAZING! Our server was Amy and she is a delightful little whirl of energy! She was prompt in taking our orders, kept me supplied with tea, and checked on us appropriately. We haven't gone out to eat much because of Covid but I'm so glad we stopped in today! Thanks, Amy! You rock, girl! read more

Always good food, good staff/service! I Had something light, French onion soup & a grilled basil/cheese sandwich. Was good. Soup was to temp, just right. If you like French onion soup, this is it. Just about the same as I make it, but hey why take the time to make it when Hop Jacks is a mile away? The sandwich reminded me of toasted bruschetta. Very good. Server was attentive! Thanks Dolly! We have been at both locations, Bonney Lake and this one here in Lake Tapps, good food. Thanks! Oh almost forgot, Bloody Mary is yum. read more

I love me a good happy hour and this spot fills the bill! Their lemon drops are THE BEST served in cone shaped cups of ice rimmed in sugar! Worth coming back for these delights! We also enjoyed their potato chip nachos. Plenty for for 3 people! This is a great stop on your way home or anytime...but especially for Happy Hour! read more

Hop Jack's is my go-to neighborhood place. It never disappoints, especially in the burger selections. Ashley's burger is one of my favorites. The service is quick and efficient. The staff is friendly and helpful. Server Lauren is my favorite - she remembers return customers; has a good sense of humor and is quite prompt. I feel fortunate that the restaurant is only a mile from my home and that they have many delicious and attractive menu items. read more

Let me start off by saying this, I was searching for awesome burger joints that I haven't been to, found Hops n Drops on this site and decided to try it out. By far the best decision made in a while . The customer service was outstanding. The burgers had great flavor -fresh meat and veggies. The buffalo wings surprised me a lot -they were tender, juicy and not too heavily breaded. The fries, man oh man, the taste was awesome!! Don't know if I saw them on the menu but their fries would taste good with some carne asada steak on them or even nacho cheese would be bombdigity! Spread sauce on the burger reminded me of tartar sauce; it was awesome. Their fry sauce was really good and the lil donuts with chocolate was just icing on the cake. The crew found out we were new and one by one came and introduced themselves and greeted us nicely. I highly recommend you try it out. I will surely be making Hops n Drop's a go to place for my burgers and wings. Can't wait to try the western burger and some of their breakfast entrees. They did make one lil itty bitty mistake with one burger topping but man did they go above and beyond to make up for it. I appreciated that. read more

Service was great. Chicken chipotle ranch flatbread: flatbread was cooked to perfection, yet would have liked it a tad bit thicker, chipotle ranch sauce was too saucy and a bit salty. I think adding some red onion would have given the dish some pop and blended taste. Triple Threat Crispy Chicken Sandwich: the Burger was moist, but a bit bland. Would have liked the chicken patty to have more spices, as indicated. I think adding a slice of red onion and jalapeño slices would have given a good compliment to the sandwich. The chips accompanying the burger was cooked perfectly, with just the right amount of snap. Tater tots were perfectly cooked and not overly soaked in oil. read more

Have never been disappointed here!... definitely has turned into one of our "go to places". At a lot of places we go to, there is one thing we know we are going to get- the problem here is, there are so many great and tasty items it's hard to narrow it down.. tough problem,right!!??-- to add to the greatness, the staff is ALWAYS spectacular!.. we have commented in the past how the staff seems to "back each other up" when they see low beverage glasses or any need-- if you haven't tried this place yet-- RUN-- we love it! read more

Um excuse me but when we show up for Happy hour and order drinks from the HH menu, we definitely should be told that a specific wine isn't on the HH pricing. Of course we found out a crappy glass of wine is $8 after the fact. read more

I have been eating here for years and the food is good as well as service. I wish the Bonney Lake one had more seating like the Lakeland location. I have tried just about everything on the menu and it has all been good. The service is good and friendly. It can get loud but you can still carry on a conversation. read more

Long time customers that really enjoyed many happy hours and meals at Lakeland. We are little disappointed in recent changes. We thought it might have been and off night or two but the drop off in the quality has been consistent enough for us to notice a what appears to be a permanent change. The beers is still cold and good, but the food, particularly the happy hour items have us looking at different places for our regular cold ones and meals. Never a big fan of boneless wings this place had it dialed along with the fish tacos and several other favorites. Something changed we hope it changes back as we really enjoyed it while it was good. read more

We wanted to try something new and so we decided to try Hop Jacks' since the reviews were pretty good. After spending our dinner time at the location - I can only think there isn't any choices in Lake Tapps if this is a 4 star restaurant. First - the restaurant was not crowded - and we get seated in this "cubby hole" booth all by itself - against the wall in the back. If there was just the two of us - it could have been romantic but with a teenager along with us - we were crowded. I joked and asked if they were trying to hid us and a few other lines like that which went right over the waitress head - finally my wife just asked if there was another booth available and we were moved. This is the same waitress that filled the two female water glasses up - twice - while leaving mine empty and giving the girls the bill - not putting it in the center. The best part was when I mentioned the water situation as I received the bill - you might think she would apologize and perhaps fill my glass up then - well you would be wrong. Is it just me or all men :) The same waitress when she asked about dessert we said we would like to consider it -came back a few minutes later - asked if we decided - at which point my wife said we had no way of knowing what they had for dessert - and she replied Oh, I guess you need menus - you think. ? I guess the job pool has ran out in Lake Tapps. Our teenager (16 years old) ordered the Mac and cheese 410 bland. She said it was bland and we tasted it and all agreed - no taste to it at all. (really - bland for $10.25) My wife and I split the tomato Basel sandwich and at best I would give it an ok - also not cheap at $9.95. You could not taste the tomato and there was hardly anything on it (for the price it could have been a lot better) The Oriental Chicken salad was good - but $10.75 for a regular. In summary - pricey fast food - better off going to Wendy's for Oriental Chicken salad - just as good. If you want the restaurant effect Applebee's is much better and they have been the "neighborhood eating place" a lot longer - they even took the Applebee's slogan. read more

**One of the best customer service experiences of MY LIFE** The food is pretty predictable - all american bistro fair (large portions, lots of fried foods), not that I'm complaining. But that's not why I'm giving Hop Jack's 5 stars. They get such a high rating because of their amazing wait staff. Our waiter was funny, knowledgable, and caring. For example, I asked if there was nutritional information for some of the menu items and he went and printed off a word document specifically for me! I've never had this type of service before. This shows that a great restaurant experience is not completely dependent on the food that is served. Service plays a large role and Hop Jack's really stepped up. I would highly recommend eating here. read more

I came to Hop Jack's for a much needed female-family-members-night-away-from-kids-and-men. :) We were on a drinking mission and not an eating one, so we didn't try anything from the food menu but it looked pretty good. If we hadn't *just* finished dinner, we probably would have at least tried an appetizer or two. We sat at the bar (which is really pretty, btw) and Silver took care of us. My sister ordered a black & tan because another bartender here had screwed it up and she wanted to see if someone else could get it right...Silver didn't disappoint! He let us try samples of beers we weren't familiar with and made good recommendations along the way. The next time I'm in the area, I won't hesitate to visit Hop Jack's again. read more

Finally got to try this place! Took the back roads home to avoid traffic and ended up driving by so we decided to stop for dinner. Probably not the best idea considering it was crazy packed due to power outages in the area. David (manager of another store) provides excellent customer service! Despite it being a mad house he was patient with our questions as well as getting us our drinks and taken care of in timely manner. Our server Sarah was sweet too but we didn't see much of her. Fish & Chips- Delicious!! The batter was very flavorful and perfectly crisp. The fish itself had great flavor and texture. I would definitely order this again. Jalepeno Burger w/ Pineapple- BF ordered this and he liked it. I had a bite and thought it was pretty good. Lemonade- Pineapple was soooo good. The blueberry was okay. A little to sweet for my liking but delicious none the less. Long Island Iced Teas are amazing!! BF tried 2 flavors, the grapefruit (eh ok) and mango (bomb.com). He wants to come back to try the other flavors. Lol. I don't blame him. They were pretty tasty. Donuts- Served in a paper bag. They were good but not memorable. Overall I will be back!! There are a few items on the menu that I would love to try! :) read more

While I don't always dole out five stars I thought it was appropriate here because we went two days in a row to Hop Jack's and everything was consistent even though it was different staff and different items ordered. Our first evening we sat in the bar and just had drinks for the evening as we had gone to dinner but the establishment we were eating at was very hot and not relaxing. While Hop Jack's isn't a relaxing environment because it's fairly loud, it was more comfortable. The waiter we had in the bar was absolutely hilarious and earned a good tip. Nikko was funny, cracked appropriate banter with customers including us and ensured we were well taken care of and never went empty on our beverages. Evening number two was just as good and this time we went for happy hour and sat in the restaurant. I was glad to see that you didn't have to sit in the bar to enjoy the discounted food and libations. We ordered a number of things from happy hour and ended up not order an "entree" because we sample a number of things. The battered shrimp were very good, I particularly like how they were prepared. We ordered their garlic fries, which were extra garlicky which was excellent, and its fresh garlic too, not out of a can or just powdered. The potato chip nachos with the blue cheese will be something I order again, they were excellent. I could sit and eat those darn things all day long. The last thing we ordered, which were good but over priced, were the wings. They had good flavor, they were meaty and overall good. But even at happy hour price, they were way more expensive than other wing and non-wing places. Not sure I would order them again. The service, was also very consistent the next night. Something that breaks a place for me is service and Hop Jack's is on the money! read more

I've always came to hops n drops before and loved it every time, but lately their lettuce is just no good. My boyfriend got sick from a wrap with lettuce, then I got sick myself a week later from a salad. Not even thinking about the previous times I've gotten sick from this place (I do love it here so I do still go) I ordered a salad 2 days ago and got sick again. Do not order anything with lettuce! read more

Picked up an order to go. Shrimp pasta pomodoro and Philly steak sandwich. Order was ready on time, servers were very polite and helpful. Food was very tasty. Only quibble I would have is the portions are pretty small for the price (my Philly steak sandwich was $14 and smaller than a hamburger). read more

Ended up at Hop Jack's in Lakeland for dinner tonight, with my husband and a couple of our best friends. I was beyond hangry by the time we got there. My temper was high. My expectations were higher. For once, I was not disappointed by one single thing, and I left a happy camper. Our server and the whole team did a great job! read more
