Great sandwiches, bowls and salads down on Last Chance Gulch. The Hopper is ready for drop by or takeaway business. Friendly service either way. Causal relaxed vibe with everyone enjoying themselves. Cool local beer selection. I went for the Montana Cheesesteak--scrumptious and filling. The real surprise was the tater tots--really crispy and so tasty. read more

What a little gem in Helena! My husband and I stopped here for lunch while driving from Whitefish to West Yellowstone and are so glad we did! It took us a minute to find it - as it is located on a pedestrian only road. It's a counter service restaurant with limited seating - thankfully, on a weekday, it wasn't too busy. I opted for their steak bowl - which was truly so delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly and the mix of rice, veggies, and the avocado crema and chimichurri was exceptional. The serving size was also generous! My husband opted for the philly cheesesteak, and he seemed to really enjoy it...as he finished it all! I also loved the focus on have locally made drinks or companies represented! read more

WOW just wow! Driving through on a road trip and was crazy something fresh with protein and soooooo happy we stumbled upon this location. The Hopper is located in a main part of the town with live music and surrounding restaurants. We grabbed a Brazil bowl and a large serving of tots. The Brazil bowl was mind blowingly delicious and so filling! Steak, rice, corn, beans, and other fresh ingredients that made it flavorful and filling. The tots? Lord the portion size was massive! More than enough for two people and they come with amazing two sauces. They have a good amount of seating inside and many beverage options. read more

This is a must try adorable restaurant tucked within the beautiful Walking Mall! We were warmly welcomed at the counter by Chelsi who was so helpful & kind!! I asked her for a couple recommendations & decided to go with the Crispy Goat Cheese Salad...I can honestly say it was the BEST salad I've ever had!! My husband ordered the Ribeye Cheesesteak sandwich with tater tots & he ate every bite! It was so juicy & flavorful!! Chelsi not only took our order but delivered our food & often checked in on how we were doing. She was amazing!! In our opinion the best little lunch spot in Helena!! read more

After 3 nights camping and eating backpacking food. All I wanted was a salad. This place popped up with great reviews and tons of picture of the steak bowl. We decided to come on down to grab our own. The steak bowl was very delicious, probably the best ever. I wish I lived closer so I didn't have to try to recreate it at home. We ordered the large tots, which was enough to feed like 6 people. Would def be back if ever in the area. read more

Loved this place Atmosphere: clean, modern, and had art hung up which was really cute. It is not full service, you order at the front and then they bring the food to your table Food: i really enjoyed the food here! The goat cheese was to die for, had to order extra balls. Very healthy, and great options. I will say that the falafel dish is under appetizers but it felt more like a salad than "tapas" Service: every single worker in this place, was so nice and went out of their way to make sure you were doing well, even making small talk and picking up empty plates despite it not being full service HIGHLY recommend this place for a healthy meal ! read more

I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. The food is delicious but the restaurant tables are usually dirty! For the food prices I would recommend that you keep a clean restaurant... read more

Five stars for the Reuben with beets and the french fries; also, friendly service. This place was busy when I went there.

The staff were very friendly and attentive. You order at the cashier and get a table number. Our cashier walked me through all the gluten free options that could be done for items on the menu and was so kind to share what would and would not have cross contamination. The food itself was really flavorful and I will for sure be on the lookout for the hot sauce! As we left we were thanked and told to come back again. Such a cute little diner to hit while at the Gulch! read more

The food was great, and the staff was great. We had the Brazilian bowl and the fried goat cheese. Highly recommended. It was a nice break from the typical burgers and sandwiches. The staff were all younger people who were super friendly and efficient. read more

Amazing tasking food. Very good portion. I had half of it to go. You can tell all the ingredients are fresh and of very high quality

What a gem !!! First time visitor to Helena. Previous reviews did not lie about The Hopper. We were a party of 10 with everyone ordering something different. Everyone was extremely happy with their delicious meals... If you're in town and looking for a cool vibe and great food ... This is your place read more

Came here after they first opened and had an excellent hamburger and just came back and had the house salad with the lentils crunchers which made the salad perfect,(nice unexpected surprise). The Ruben was to die for, but I recommend ordering that on a Friday because that's when the bakery they use bakes their rye bread. Lastly we had the Montana cheesesteak, presented on a parmesan hoagie with some of the most tender sliced steak I've had and the sweetest peppers and great beer cheese, not "wiz". I will not make that mistake again and will comeback regularly from now on. read more

This place is great and centrally located. The food is your average fries and burger and sandwich. It has everything you need and is standard bar food. I recommend grabbing it to go and heading next door to ten mile brewery. read more

Tried the Hopper for the first time for lunch. Was not disappointed. Able to eat outside on the gulch. Greeted right away, small menu selection making it easier to choose from. Burgers were great and Rubin was amazing. Not a long wait for food to come out. Waitress stopped by to check on us a couple of times. A bit pricy but overall good experience. Recommend. read more

The Hopper has been open a few months and I've been wanting to head down for lunch one day. I went on a Wednesday about 12:40 and ordered the Brazil Bowl to eat in, which sounded good. Most of the tables were taken so I snagged a seat the counter towards the restaurant entrance. My lunch took about 20 minutes or so to make and arrived warm. The bowl had great flavors and fresh ingredients. I loved it in fact! Greens, steak, rice, black beans, etc. - so good! My lunch was about $18 which included a can of Waterloo. I am a fan! read more

Great lunch spot! Quick and easy in and out. The chicken stew was bomb! Great flavor and not crazy spicy, which was appreciated. Side salad was fresh, dressing was light and perfect, topped with crunchy lentils for the win! Chix sando roll was soft and fresh, kimchi was to my liking. Would return. read more

Stopped by to get a quick bite to eat before heading back home. You order at the counter and they will text you when ready. When you pay, it has if you want to leave tip. Still trying to figure out why if you walk up to a counter and you pick it up yourself why the it has suggestions of 15% and more. You can opt to custom. Every place you go is now like this so this was no different. The food was ready in about 15 minutes. My husband and I split the Reuben. This was the 2nd Reuben we've had in a week. This one had a bit more flavor however it was also because there was a bit more fat on it. The pieces were sliced much smaller so we had some falling out while taking bites. It was still delicious. It came with some fries which were good. It did hit the spot and even with splitting it we felt full. read more

Quality food, great gluten free and vegetarian options. Staff is friendly and attentive and quick service. Can get busy but worth the wait.

Good grilled and cold sandwiches. What they lack in flavor they make up for in salt. Excellent professional service. Better than the Windbag. read more

Fun little spot on the walking mall. Order at the counter and they bring your food to you if you're inside or will text you if you want to wander outside.

I had a chance to try this new place in Helena and I was super impressed. They had quite the variety of food and I loved my Brazilian rice bowl! Initially the girl taking the order wasn't really warm and welcoming, but when I went back and ordered a BLT for my son she was in a much better mood. I was a little jealous of his BLT! It looks really awesome! I'll have to come back here and get one! read more

I truly love The Hopper. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, local ingredients when possible, and incredible dishes that come rolling out of the kitchen.

Got the Buffalo wings and schnitzel sliders, both very good. Had a hard time ordering cause everything on the menu sounds amazing. No cookie-cutter items on the menu.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the food at the Hopper! EVERYTHING that I have tried here had been DELICIOUS. Just had the Poutine last week and OMG... tasted so good! The Ruben is my Favourite-both the pastrami and the beet are soooo DELICIOUS. I also like the wings, grilled cheese, cheese steak, fried goat cheese salad, chicken tenders, grilled cheese, miso candied bacon BLT, and the list of deliciousness goes on and on!! The grab and go market is great too-good salads, Zesty Kombucha, farm fresh eggs, and other goodies!! They also have wine, draft beer, and other cool libations in a case near the checkout. The owners Dan and Chelsi are wonderful people and they have such wonderful staff working there with them. I was away for 4 months and MISSED this place terribly!! read more

Super yummy! My friend and I both couldn't decide between the Brazil Bowl and the crispy goat cheese bowl so we split them both. Both were delicious! And they were nice enough to split the plates for us. If I had to choose 1 I'd get the Brazil bowl because it's more substantial. The goat cheese bowl is more like a salad. I got a kombucha on the way out and it was the best I've ever tried. read more
