    Low key dive bar with billiards and karaoke. Decent bar food, cheap beer. I would come back here if I was visiting Fort Leonardwood again.

    So I was to tired to thirsty and way to hungry to waste a moment to take a picture but here goes…read more Now, if you've ever found yourself wandering through Waynesville with a hollow leg and a thirst that'd make a camel quit, you could do a whole lot worse than pulling up a chair at Hopper's Pub. It's the kind of joint where the atmosphere is thicker than a Sunday morning fog and the hospitality is warmer than a radiator in July. Since we're right there in the shadow of the fort, you'll find yourself rubbing elbows with all sorts of folks. They say you ought to eat where the locals eat, but in a military town, "local" is a relative term--most everybody there is from somewhere else, and they're all just passing through on Uncle Sam's dime. But at Hopper's, for an hour or two, everybody's treated like they grew up right down the street. If f you're looking for a cold beer, Hopper's has their own house brew on tap that's colder than a mother-in-law's stare. It's a sports bar in the truest sense--wall-to-wall TV screens making sure you don't miss a single down or a checkered flag. When there's a car show in town or a big game on, the place gets livelier than a porch dog with a new bone. Speaking of dogs there is a semi-permanent guest that stops by name of Norman. Pet him and you will have a friend for life. They aren't feeding birds here, friend. We're talking Burgers and fries of with tons of flavor. Sliders, cheesesteaks and wings, make sure you got extra napkins. I am not sure why but I think he also have vegetarian options. The staff is politer than a deacon on Sunday. They're attentive, friendly, and they treat travelers like they've lived in Waynesville their whole lives. Keep in mind they are pumping out a ton of adult beverages and food. A cold beer and a good burger are worth a five minute wait. Whether you're just passing through or you're a "local" who's only been in town since your last PCS, Hopper's is a solid bet for a good time and a full belly. It's family-friendly, high-energy, and highly recommended. And if you happen to be there when they break out the Bingo, hold onto your hat. They've got a unique set of calls and responses that'll frighten and amaze you the first time you hear 'em--it's somewhere between a drill sergeant's cadence and a tent revival, and it's worth the price of admission just to witness the spectacle.

    Really fun place. Just walked in and they are playing free Bingo and handing out raffles. Won…read moresome free cookies in the raffle. Ordered something different. The buffalo Mac and cheese and a pretzel w/ cheese sauce. Honestly the food was not the best, but the atmosphere was great and fun. If I can back here, I'd spend a Monday evening here again and try something else. I appreciated the novelty of the restaurant and fun crowd.

    The atmosphere here is exactly like a polite fever dream. I walked in and the owner--who I…read moredefinitely recognize from that one thing with the spatula--nodded at me in a way that suggested we both know where the gold is buried, even though neither of us owns a shovel. I ordered the "Standard Choice," and the bartender served me a glass of room-temperature liquid static garnished with a single, unpeeled potato. It tasted like the color beige if it were angry. When I asked for a napkin, they handed me a signed photograph of a local meteorologist and whispered, "The front moves in at midnight." Why you should go: The Seating: All the chairs are slightly shorter than you expect, so you spend the whole night feeling like you're shrinking. The Music: A seamless loop of a dial-up modem being played through a tuba. The Owner: He's doing a great job, especially considering he's technically three owls in a trench coat.

    I have passed by this place for years and never stopped. Today was the day! My boys and I went in…read morefor a quick dinner and we're very surprised by the menu. We all ordered burgers. Mine was the mushroom Swiss and they both ordered the bourbon burger. We also ordered the crab Rangoon as an appetizer. The food was very yummy. The onion rings were crispy and very tasty. The crab Rangoon's are handmade and were loaded up with filling. My boys both got the bourbon burger. One of them really loved it and the other one liked it. He said that the sauce was too strong for him. The service was excellent. The bartender with the handlebar mustache was waiting on most of the restaurant and he did an excellent job. We sat out on the balcony and took in the view of the lake, which was beautiful. The prices were pretty good about normal for the lake. We will definitely go back.
