    Burger - very good w/ side of chili
    Angela W.

    Quite a busy place with lots of outdoor and indoor seatings, with views of the 18th greens that is fun to watch. As for food, Nachos - not good Steak Burgers - huge and very good. Fish and chips - soggy and bland Tomato bisque soup - not bad Most entrees come with sides of your choice, soup, chili, fries and fruits. Great place to grab a burger

    Caesar salad

    Absolutely love this place. My husband and I got married here 12 years ago so of this place is extra special to us. The food has always been amazing and the staff is incredible. Not only do you get great food, but also beautiful views of the golf course.

    servers are nice but not attentive and the food is less than good. They're very stingy and don't deliver their menu descriptions
    Gwen M.

    The space was lovely but the food quality and service were not. I ordered a wedge salad, and added steak. The salad was advertised "with bacon" and there were literally 8 slivers, less than a 1/4 slice of bacon. They were also very stingy with the unremarkable blue cheese dressing. And did I mention that the steak was cold? I am unimpressed and probably won't return, and that's a pity because the place has potential, but it's unrealized.

    Potstickers!

    Very pleased with this place. Crowd is hit or miss but the food has yet to disappoint!

    Great bar with large beer selection.

    This place has some of the best staff around, and a great beer selection. The recent remodel is great but the menu is what limits this place to 3 stars. Menu has some really good items, but zero appetizers, no soups and none of staples like fish and chips or a steak. Hopefully things will get better, used to be in our weekly rotation but with the limited menu it is now monthly.

    I don't really understand all the bad reviews here. This golf course is one of the top golf courses in WA. Also, the restaurant here is the bomb. I come here just to have a brunch/lunch/dinner. You won't have the quality of food here anywhere else. Jenna (sorry if I spell it wrong) is the best best waitress I've ever met from anywhere else. She will take care of whatever you need right away. I see lots of folks coming to this place because of her. She always goes above and beyond. I am so haply to have this course near by. This course should raise the price at least up to $150 during prime time compared to WA national and even chambers bay. I am telling you that you will definitely have great time here if you plan to golf and have some good food at the same time.

    The Cubano was on point! All of us at the table were thrilled with our meals ~ the French fries were cooked to perfection ~ service was prompt, friendly and helpful (recommendation of the house made maple mustard made the Cubano even tastier). Diana Patterson with Windermere RE recommended I eat local and specifically check out The Grill in the Woods ~ very glad I did as I've found a new place to dine near my office in Covington!

    We were out running errands in Maple Valley and decided to stop into Hops n Drops since we've had…read moregood experiences at other locations--and this one didn't disappoint. Right off the bat, the hostess stood out. She was genuinely engaging and welcoming (wish I had caught her name), and we were seated immediately in the bar area. It was a little past the lunch rush--around 2 PM--so it was nice and relaxed, which made for a comfortable, easygoing vibe. We went back and forth trying to beat the lunch cutoff or just lean into the happy hour menu, and ended up doing a bit of both. We split a Caesar salad, which was fresh and really well done. For the main, we had the bacon avocado chicken wrap with tots--great flavor, definitely a solid choice. The only knock was the tots were a little on the cooling-off side and didn't quite hit the mark... although I still managed to finish them. To drink, I went with a Sky Kraken Pale Ale, which was excellent (and yes, there's photo evidence). Hey I'm retired now, I can drink at lunch! Overall, really enjoyable stop--good food, great service, and a laid-back atmosphere. We'd absolutely come back again. Solid 4 stars.

Funny thing is, Maple Valley has become semi affluent over the past decade, and I never would have expected this to be the attitude, but I assure you, I stood out like a bruised thumb here. Service was really slow and for a while, I thought I was being ignored. The only person I saw working walked by me about 3-4 times before saying a word and asking me what I was drinking. I had already seen what I assumed was the menu on Yelp via photos, and short or a very small price increase from 2022, it was spot on. I ordered my food and it was prepared fairly quick, the cook slapped the bell, and the server grabbed it in about a minute, but my meal was barely warm., I had a burger dip and the burger and au jus were both room temp. The fries were golden, but also room temp and not crisp. It was disappointing, because you could tell the food was better than you would expect, but nothing it great at room temp. My drink went unfilled, and it was at least 15 minutes after I finished eating that I was handed the check. The server was so busy being social with regulars, I didn't get the attention I needed. For me, a meal is 30-40 from entry to exit, I was here almost 90 minutes to give you an idea of how slow the service was, It wasn't busy, the server was just not doing her job and the longer I sat, the less welcome I felt. Honestly, I've had warmer reception in Enumclaw and that is a city notorious for refusing diversity. Whoever owns this place needs to be more involved and if you invested some money into updating the décor and focusing on a better atmosphere, you could attract a crowd, as of now, you get 2 stars despite what I see as 4-star potential.

It probably just comes down to what this restaurant does well vs. what they're trying to do to accommodate everyone. Six people ordered breakfast, one person ordered a sandwich, and I ordered the Yummy Bowl because it was one of two vegan options on the lunch menu (nothing vegan on the breakfast menu). It was really bad. The flavor and texture were yucky. Nothing was seasoned except the "yummy sauce," which had the strangest flavor. It just didn't taste good. I was grateful I got a side of fries, which were excellent. I'm sure they're trying to accommodate vegans, but there is still some work to do there so the food tastes good and isn't just put together to say there is a vegan option on the menu. Everyone else loved their food. It's a nostalgic place for all of them, too, so that adds to their experience. They sat us in a room with a door, and that was lovely because it gave us some privacy and toned down the noise. For me, that was the best part of our brunch outing. We stopped by the bakery before leaving, and my husband loaded up on his favorites, and I got a loaf of San Francisco sourdough (which I ate a bit of the next day, and it was delicious). I haven't been here in years, and I probably won't be back for a while, but I will return because it's a family favorite. Maybe I'll just stick with fries and some toast next time!
