[[HIGHLIGHT]]This little place is tucked away in the plaza but it's bigger than you think![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was greeted promptly at the door and offered my choice of seating. I had the shrimp louie salad w/blue cheese dressing. The salad was a great portion and very balanced, and it was very fresh. I also had a glass of prosecco which doesn't pair the greatest but I was so content. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They've got a few tv's, there's indoor and outdoor seating and reasonably priced![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Hop Creek - Shrimp Louie Salad - Gastropubs Near Me - Napa, California

Wasn't expecting the food to be so delicious, and Hop Creek didn't disappoint! We ordered the salmon salad (club?), garlic pub fries, chicken flatbread, and calamari (didn't take a picture of the calamari). The salmon was seasoned well with the salad and very light. Similarly, the chicken flatbread was lightly seasoned and not heavy, which we enjoyed. The garlic fries were the heaviest, but that wasn't a bad thing. The calamari was crispy and their spicy aioli dip paired well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The patio seating was pleasant and the weather was perfect.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We liked the green plants and nature all around.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There weren't many customers around the lunch hour, which allowed us to sit in peace and quiet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was quick and our server was great. She handled all our needs well and got us everything we asked for. read more

Hop Creek - Simply Salmon Salad - Gastropubs Near Me - Napa, California

The food here is just not good. There are so many simple dishes that can be done well but hop creek fails miserably. I believe the most common complaint about french dip sandwiches is the consimme broth is too salty. At hop creek there is no salt on anything. It's as though they live in an age where salt has not been invented. Salt is life folks. Beer selection is ok. Service was good. read more

Great restaurant we stopped by and grabbed a bite to eat and were able to watch some of the FIFA World Cup. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It does get busy though so come early or be prepared to potentially wait for a table. Lots of different options and good quality food. The waitstaff was very friendly and great. Parking is shared with others in the complex. read more

Great food and great atmosphere. Love this place! Come here with my friends. The service is great.

No beautiful pictures today but but but... the experience was fantastic! Food - burgers were excellent - juicy and well done; garlic fries are good - with real garlic not just salt. Battered cod was perfect, not greasy at all, poke was fresh and tasty. Desserts were interesting and surprisingly good. Great service! Our server was spectacular. Pleasant always smiling. Love it when they don't write it down but remembers everything. Prices are very reasonable. Everything under $20. We were running away from places serving food for $50-100 per person. The funny part is - I normally will take pictures of the food before we eat. But I'm guessing we were all anxious and hungry that I forgot to take photos of the food. The company was great too - late lunching with dear friends. read more

My husband and I were in Napa and wanted to try Hop Creek for the first time for my birthday dinner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was dark when we arrived and the shopping plaza that its located it was not well lit. We parked and got out, not sure if we were in the correct place but finally saw the sign. We almost did not continue to look for the restaurant because of the minimal lighting and confusion as to where the actual restaurant was at.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am glad we did continue to the restaurant as we walked in, the employees were nice. The restaurant was busy but we were seated fairly quickly to the patio area we requested. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was so nice and spacious with lots of heating lamps, beautiful greenery and lovely lights. I was so happy we decided to eat outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waitress was absolutely a doll and was very helpful. We decided to just get some appetizers as we had a very large and late lunch. We chose the fried pickles to start out with. My husband chose the chicken bacon flatbread with the ranch and bacon on the side, and I chose the combo flatbread. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As we were waiting on our food, we just enjoyed how peaceful the patio was. It was a chilly night but the heating lamps helped keep us comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When we got the pickle fries, my husband pointed out the dip. It was supposed to be cucumber ranch dressing, but it tasted more like dill ranch. Either way it was very good with the pickle fries. We both enjoyed our flatbread pizza. My husband really enjoyed the cheese option that was used and I liked that they was a good amount of toppings on both. They also gave me a complimentary dessert that was so big and tasted amazing! We definitely want to come back, and try the main menu, not just the appetizers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I do suggest maybe more lighting and more obvious signage as to not confuse the people who have never eaten here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All the employees were very nice and attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was very clean and I loved the decorations![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Hop Creek - Grilled Ham and Cheese with basil tomato soup - Gastropubs Near Me - Napa, California

Came here with my dad to celebrate his 63rd birthday, and everything was on point. We started with the Ahi Tuna appetizer -- fresh and flavorful. I had the Western Burger with pepper jack (juicy and full of flavor), and my dad had the fried cod, which he really enjoyed. What really made the night was the staff. Whayett, Clara, Josh, Ruby, Courtney, Melissa, Owen, and Mike all helped us out and made sure everything was smooth. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They even let our dog hang out with us on the patio, which meant a lot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great food, friendly service, and they made my dad's birthday feel special. We'll definitely be coming back. read more

Salmon salad is to die for,..big slice of yes indeed goes well with lemon drink or your choice of drink

We ordered the BBQ wings, wedge salad, pretzel bites, and French dip. All food was amazing, delicious, and served hot. I could tell the food wasn't sitting out.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Popped in to celebrate my husband's birthday and scored seating on the patio. It's lovely for the warm Napa evenings as the sunset cools everything down.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was fast, attentive, and food was delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We enjoyed a few cocktails and there was plenty of room for my son to play near our table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Again, this is a local spot, tucked away and honestly, just a great place to get off the beaten path.

Food is always good here. We have eaten the fish and chips and also the chicken flatbread. Both are great! Service is great and they will find you a table as soon as possible if you don't have a reservation. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We have found( as seniors) that we prefer to go on the patio as it seems to be quieter but the ambiance inside or out is good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We love our local pub and restaurant and hope to keep it a secret from the tourists! read more

Hop Creek is on of our favorite restaurants in Napa. My go to meal has always been their delicious fish and chips but the last 3 or 4 times I have ordered it it has been tough and rubbery and didn't taste like cod. Three of us ordered it yesterday and it was rubbery and tough for all three meals. Not flakey at all as cod should be. Don't know what they are serving but you might want to order something else. It is bad! read more

Five Stars for Hop Creek -- Pub of Champions and Pickle Wizards If pub food had a hall of fame, Hop Creek would be inducted with a standing ovation and a deep-fried dill pickle tossed into the crowd. Those crispy little brined beauties were so good we briefly debated switching careers to full-time pickle critics. The Brewsed Black and Bleu burger? A glorious tower of bold flavor, beefy bravado, and bleu cheese sass. It punched our tastebuds in the best possible way and left us emotionally bonded to our napkins. And let's talk about the Classic Reuben on marble rye. If sandwiches could write poetry, this one would've penned a heartfelt sonnet about melted Swiss and sauerkraut destiny. Rich, tangy, toasted perfection. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere was laid-back and lively--the kind of place where you feel equally at home sipping a local brew or making loud declarations about your new sandwich-based religion.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We'll be back. Probably wearing shirts that say "Team Pickle." No regrets. read more

This is a (primarily) local spot, well off the beaten path. It has very good pub food, a good selection of beers (sorry, I have never had wine here), and a great outdoor seating area (dog friendly). Note that the outdoor seating area is nice both in warm and cold weather. I have not eaten anything bad here. The menu is what you would expect for a brewpub. They have a good selection of burgers, sandwiches, salads and desserts, plus some other items. I have eaten here many times with family members, and all of our selections have been good. On my most recent visit, my son and I shared their flatbread margarita "pizza", which was very good. My son also had a bowl of clam chowder. I had as my main course their Shrimp Louie salad, which I have had many times and is always excellent, and they don't scrimp on the shrimp (Bay Shrimp). My son had their fish tacos, which I have had in the past, and which are also really good. For dessert, my son had their Crème Brûlée donut (a special dessert, not always on the menu but it should be!) that came with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. It was delicious (I had one bite). I have also had, in past visits, their buffalo chicken salad, their Reuben sandwich, burgers, fish and chips, shrimp tacos, and other flatbread pizzas. I have never had a bad meal here, it has always been good to very good. They always have a good selection of beer, which changes often. Their tap selections are always interesting, and there is something for everyone. They have a good selection of wine, which I have never sampled here, and also a bevy of non-alcoholic drinks as well. While we were eating, the manager stopped by to make sure everything was good (it was). This is not unusual. The waitstaff is always great; they are helpful and friendly. Hop Creek is a great place to go for pub food. You will always have a good meal here, and also a good beer. read more

Excellant meal as usual but I have to say something about this. The overuse of tech is getting ridiculous. I picked up an order to go and paid cash. This process used to take about 30 seconds. Well they've computerized the process. They have to enter all the info into the computer and the system is very slow. What was a 30 second process took 4-5 minutes. I don't see how this is progress. read more

Took my sister for her 83rd birthday today with my other sister, my nieces, my great niece, my great, great niece and my cousin to hot Creek for lunch today. Melissa was our server and everybody else that works there really nice to us.. I had the fish and chips three of them and french fries and they're yummy. Yum. My niece had the fish tacos. She like those my sister had the sandwich she liked that, my sister had a hamburger with bacon, and that was really good. The service was wonderful. We sat in the back room in the back so we could hear each other. Thank you for the great service Melissa. read more

Hop Creek is getting only three stars today. As always, the service is pleasant and efficient. The food is usually quite good, if on the manly side for many dishes. However, today I had their version of a Rueben sandwich--a real disappointment. The meat was deli-quality, folded over on the sandwich, too thick and hard to eat. There was not enough sauerkraut on it for more than a taste.... I'll go back, but I'll order something else. read more

Great people, great vibe, and outstanding comfort food. We are glad to have Hop Creek in our neighborhood.

Food and service are very good. The reason they don't have 5 stars from me is this: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Go here for food but NOT conversation unless you eat outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant acoustics are horrible. It's so noisy you can't hear your partner, and don't be surprised if you leave with a headache.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One solution is: have a couple of cocktails and enjoy your meal. read more

I didn't take any photos of the food before digging in because we were super hungry! The price point for a party of 2 in Napa was pretty good, compared to other neighborhood restaurants this is the most inexpensive I've seen in a while. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outdoor patio is so beautiful, I really enjoyed sitting outside in the sun with the sound of water flowing near.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We have 3 different servers touch our table and they were all very friendly. The food was good for the price point. We don't live in Browns Valley so we don't make it here often but it's definitely a spot I'll be back to when I'm in the neighborhood! read more

We went to Ho Creek because the reviews were quite good. Unfortunately, we found it to be average or less. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was very busy and an obviously popular spot to meet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My biggest disappointment was the food. I had the fish and I found the portion small and the french fries poorly cooked. For the cost, it's not a place I intend to go back to. read more

FA&FO. Hop Creek. Been coming here for years but never really thought about reviewing them. I do not want to sell them short but I just never got around to it. Now that I am on my plight to get MY ELITE BACK YELP I am reviewing the S out of everyone. Lets start with this. The other day Pliny the Younger came out. I dont know if you all are hip with it but its one of the rarest beers in the world and blah blah blah. I read online that Hop Creek had some. Emailed them in a jiffy the other morning and I can't remember his name but I believe I just saw him said replied to me so quickly (I prefer email and text and ill tell you what I cant even get the cemetary my mom is at to email me back. Why offer it???) and let me know they had a keg back in February but it sold out in 4 hrs. Points scored right there. You obviously tend to the email and you answer questions with a quickness. Totally won me over. Today, Killa B and I decided to drop by cuz I do love their fried brussels sprouts. However this time we seen the pickle fries and went that direction. I got a Pliny (the younger insert sad face) and Killa B got a Margarita. Everything was good but there are a couple of standouts. 1. Our server. I always worry about going to a restaurant cuz I aint gonna eat a full meal. I prefer to eat at home but occasionally we go out and have an appetizer and a couple of drinks and I dont want to feel like im being pressured. Our server was super cool and accomodated us accordingly and was taken care of accordingly. 2. Kille B loves the clam chowder. They had clam chowder on the menu and we got it to go. We stared at it for a bit and I finally decided that I would give it a try. F!. Best clam chowder this guy has ever had. Creamy, buttery on the end oh my goodness, oh my goodness. I need to go find out if I can get a bigger container cuz what we got aint gonna last! The ambiance is real cool too. You get all kinds in there so if you like to people look, minus the creeper aspect, hit them up. This place does deserve your attention. read more

Excellent! Yelp never fails. We came here because the reviews were great, and now I see why. Beautiful, peaceful patio seating. Food was memorably good. We got chicken pesto sandwich, Chinese salad, and definitely recommend the garlic fries. Service was super- way above average. If you're in "wine country" then you should try a beer here! read more

Monday after the Superbowl I took my 50 year old sports car out for an installation lap from Vallejo to Napa on 29 and back the scenic route. Hop Creek was a good half way point to stop for lunch and I had read that the fish & chips were good here. My server, April, was cheerful and attentive and brought my beer right away. The fish & chips l were served shortly after and lived up to expectations. They arrived hot from the fryer. The cod was cooked perfectly in a beer batter that provided a distinct crunch when I bit into it. The tarter sauce was a little bland but not to the point of spoiling the meal. The frys were crisp and hot and slightly browned and not too oily and with no unpleasant cooking oil tastes. Midway through the meal, the owner stopped by to see how I was doing and he took a genuine interest in my impression of the place. read more

Super friendly and nice staff here! Super good place that we stopped by after a wine tasting in napa valley. Would highly recommend making a reservation here! We sat outdoors, which had umbrellas for shade. We ordered the cobb salad, chicken pesto sandwich, fish tacos, ale-battered cod, and the salmon club. Everything was delicious! The ale-battered cod was perfectly friend and the fish super flaky. The buns on all the sandwiches were perfect. The salmon on the salmon club was perfectly cooked! Chicken pesto sandwich also delicious, as was the cobb salad. Cannot say enough good things about the food here! Portion sizes were huge too you will not leave hungry! Highly recommend trying if you're in the napa valley area, instead of getting food at the wineries. read more
