This review is for HAPPY HOUR! By now everyone knows this is my favorite hour of the day. The prices are AMAZING. The atmosphere is chill and the drinks are DIVINE. Hopdoddy is a cool spot to have drinks. I enjoy sipping on the LIL Larry adult beverage. It's cold, refreshing and packs a big punch. LIL Larry makes me feel PROUD! It has a good taste. The bar is a fun setting and the staff is friendly. The happy hour menu offers a variety of drinks. It's clean at this location. They offer a variety of seating options. Next time I will eat it's been awhile since I have been to Hopdoddy. Eventually I may switch to a BIG Larry, but for now little Larry works! read more

Wow....ME THINKS NOT!!! Sorry. I really wanted to like this new experience, but the burgers are severely over priced and lack flavor. I spent over $45 for two burgers and fries....wow...so not worth it. I paid over $9 for the worst French Fries I have tasted in a long time.....I mean it's French fries.....if you charge that much money then the fries should be spectacular. But, I also ordered the sweet potatoes french fries and it was good....not the best I have ever tasted, but good. This was a first and last time experience. I wish someone warned me to not waste my money. Consider this your warning. I will tell you that I told you so, if you go anyway....you will hear my voice after you finish eating saying....."I told you so." Good luck people and stay safe out there. read more

The first time I dined here was especially amazing! The food drinks and service were all on point. Second time I visited was on my 50th bday. There was 4 of us they didn't seem as friendly this time or welcoming. We didn't stay. Third time was ok but again wasn't as impressed with the food and drinks. I would try again. It would be an amazing place with consistency. The truffle fries are amazing everytime ! read more

Another fantastic lunch at Hopdoddy! Service quick and by very friendly staff! Lunch time is usually busy here, but today being a slightly warm day, the patio was open and an excellent choice! We ordered the Roosevelt Burger and the Thunderbowl along with side of regular fries! The bison meat in the Roosevelt was so flavorful and handling it expertly while cooking it to medium rare made it even more tasty. The Thunderbowl was chock full of salad veggies and with a luscious portion of white chicken meat. And the sauces just perfect ! The fries as always fresh, crispy and perfectly seasoned and was complimented by the truffle sauce. So perfect ! And the huge chilled goblets of Lagunitas and Modelo Especiale made the meal even more satisfying and complete! Man! We are getting spoilt here!! We will be back soon! read more

We came to Hopdoddy Burger Bar for a late lunch/early dinner with the family, and overall it was a really solid experience. To start, we ordered two orders of fries to share, which were great and perfect for the table. For entrées, I got the Ahi Tuna Bowl, which was fresh, flavorful, and a nice lighter option compared to the burgers. My daughter had the kids burger with chocolate milk and was very happy with it. Another person in our group ordered the Farmhouse Burger (the one with the egg), and that one was a standout rich, satisfying, and cooked well. My husband was extremely hungry, so he went all in and ordered two burgers: the Diablo and the Nashville Hot Chicken. Both were really good, bold in flavor, and definitely hit the spot. The setup here is a little different but easy once you get it you order first, then they assign you a table and bring the food out, which worked smoothly for us. They also have a full bar, and the drinks were really good. Even the fountain drink options were better than average, which is always a nice surprise. Price-wise, it's not a super cheap spot, but for what we ordered four burgers, a kids burger, fries, and drinks it came out to just under $100, which felt reasonable for the quality and portions. Overall, everything tasted great, the vibe was fun, and the service flow worked well. I would definitely come back and would recommend it if you're looking for a burger place that feels a little elevated but still casual and family-friendly. read more

I visited Hopdoddy Burger Bar for the first time, and was not disappointed. The staff was extremely courteous and friendly as I walked in, It's nice that they sit you at a table and serve you, I like that type of restaurant experience. The burgers are fairly priced and delicious, the fries are crispy and fluffy. They have a great little bar in the middle of the restaurant and fantastic outside patio for your pup! The only thing I hold against them is that they have Coke products and not Pepsi, but that's my preference I had the double bacon jam which is a double 4 oz smashburger with a delicious tomato bacon jam, perfectly cooked, not too messy, held together well, on a nice brioche bun. As I'm sitting here doing this review, one of the staff recommended the tres leches shake to follow up my meal, I shouldn't...but I definitely am going to get it. Definitely recommend it! read more

there's a lot of competition when it comes to burgers in DFW but this place certainly stands out. I had the Wagyu grass fed burger and it was amazing. also had a side of the sweet potato fries which was another winner. staff was very friendly and helpful. It was a takeout order but I'll be going back because the vibe felt really inviting read more

Great burgers and amazing salad options that you don't see in most burger bars. 4 stars because they don't accept cash. I would like the option to pay cash or card when I go to purchase anything. read more

They have indoor/outdoor seatings and a full service bar. Service was excellent; everyone is friendly. Food is great as well. I had Parmesan truffle fries and the double bacon jam. read more

Flavor is great, presentation is great, service is great, but value for the money isn't there. Shrinkflation! The shareable sweet potato fries were half the size we got several years ago when we ate at the Beltline location. The quality is there, but the quantity has gone down tremendously. 2 burgers and a shareable fry, + water (free) is $50 (inc. tax + tip), that's crazy! So, Hopdoddy, please keep up the flavor & quality, but please do something about the quantity. The ambiance is great, fun atmosphere, service is great, but how much we paid for what we got makes us not want to return. We will definitely try the happy hour soon, though. (M-Th 3-6) read more

Got to be one of the best smash burgers I've had. I got the Wagyu just as it comes and it was really good. Highly recommend!

I don't know how we missed this place! We stopped by in Austin and the food was amazing! So we had to make sure our local one was just as good. They are! The fries are enough to bring you here on your knees, begging for more. The burgers are next level! Read their story, local and fresh ingredients! The staff are awesome! Anyone complaining must have got here while they were spinning up the new location. We visited on February 7th, the warm up after the 2026 snow-pocalypse. The doors were up and the outside dining open! We'll certainly be back for more! read more

My family & I came and tried this place. We felt the atmosphere was pleasant. The service was friendly for the most part. The food tasted good. We would come back again. read more

This place is amazing. I ordered the "thunderbird" and it was a ground chicken patty with avocado and pico. It was so delicious and had 52g of protein. I love that they listed protein content on their menu. I also ordered sweet potato fries which were delicious. I loved that they had a ketchup stand and lemon wedges on the side too. I seriously had a great experience here. read more

The sweet potato fries are to die for! If you love Brussels as much as me.....thr shaved Brussels are insane good!!!

Ordered for pickup and waited for the food ETA and grabbed it exactly when it said to pick it up Fries were incredibly cold and not good - they were probably good if they were fresh. Burgers were decent - not mind blowing, but not bad. Bun was good but was also cold. The Brussels sprouts leaves were inedible - they had been soaked in oil and I couldn't stomach more than a few bites - they need to revisit this recipe. The chicken drumsticks were interesting - probably the best thing we ordered read more

Burgers were good, not great but would try again except when we went to pay they would not take cash. Will not be back! Cash is a form of payment and should ALWAYS be accepted. read more

Burgers are great. I really enjoy having the burger of the month option. This time I had the Brazilian it was delicious. Margaritas are 9 out of 10. They're very good overall experience solid eight out of 10. read more

The whole idea here is confusing on everything. Food in general was ok but pricy. Brussels sprouts were good flavor but extremely salty, couldn't finish them at all. $10 dollar fries was not enough for two. Burger and chicken tender were ok, not so special that would come back for. Salad concept is confusing, not sure what or how they wanted to present the flavor. Staff walking around the food seems confused. The way they have seated and ordered food at the counter was very messy and confusing. read more

Too bad , they are cashless. Don't go here without a credit card. Too bad. I took a group out to lunch and we had to go elsewhere. That's okay, because we won't be returning. read more

Good ambiance with outdoor seating. Food is good. Fries are tasty and the beer selection is nice!

Walking into Hopdoddy in McKinney felt less like entering a restaurant and more like wandering into an escape room with no clues. No greeting, no direction, no "Hey, here's how this works." Just a silent room daring you to figure it out. We finally ordered, and before I'd received a single ounce of service, the register asked me to leave a tip. A tip... for what? For successfully guessing the ordering protocol? For standing there confused? For existing? The audacity is Olympic‑level. Then I had to go fetch my own drink -- because apparently Hopdoddy is now a self‑service cafeteria with craft beer. The keg needed changing, and the bartender moved with the urgency of someone who had absolutely no emotional investment in whether I ever got that beer. While waiting, I noticed something on the rim of my frozen mug. Not a smudge. Not a stray fiber. A pubic hair. On. The. Glass. When the bartender returned and started pouring my beer into that same mug, I had to stop him like I was defusing a bomb. He swapped it out, but the damage was done. My appetite had already filed for divorce. I joined my family at a table that wobbled like it was auditioning for a role as a seesaw. We tried to move to the open table next to us, but it hadn't been cleaned. No problem -- we asked for someone to wipe it down. A busser arrived and immediately started spraying cleaner... directly into the wind... sending a fine mist of cleaning chemicals into my daughter's face and onto the food the runner was holding right next to him. A masterclass in "How Not to Restaurant." Then the runner -- in a moment of pure, unfiltered chaos -- grabbed the cleaning bottle, shoved it into his pocket, and used that same hand to serve our food. At this point I was convinced we were on a hidden‑camera show. The food itself? Honestly good. But lukewarm. Which is impressive considering how fast it came out. It's like they cooked it yesterday and reheated it with a stern look. I called to speak with the GM and instead got the kitchen manager -- a twenty‑something who somehow managed to avoid apologizing, acknowledging the issues, or offering any kind of resolution. It was a golden opportunity to make things right, and he treated it like spam mail. In the end, Hopdoddy delivered a truly unforgettable experience: Good food surrounded by a level of service that felt like a group project where everyone forgot they were enrolled. If you enjoy tipping before receiving service, dodging cleaning spray, discovering body hair on your glassware, and watching hospitality fundamentals crumble in real time, this is your place. Otherwise, save yourself the headache. Never, ever, again. Keep your 3.7 stars and give me my tip money back read more

Really good burger probably the best I've had so far! I loved the Parmesan truffle fries, and the blackberry lemonade was amazing. The employees were very nice and helpful. The space is really nice too clean, comfortable, and has a great atmosphere to enjoy your meal. Definitely a place I'd come back to read more

attempted to place my order online, but the website kicked me out when I tried to submit it. So I decided to go in and order instead. While checking out, I noticed an additional $1.25 charge for cheese. I asked about it since I simply wanted to substitute American for cheddar. I was told that it was an upcharge. I clarified, "So swapping one cheese for another is considered an upcharge?" The employee confirmed that it was. The fact that I wasn't even told that substituting out the cheese with cost me $1.25 when I asked about it he seemed bothered. So I just told him I would not be coming back. A manager then came over, though she hadn't heard the earlier conversation. She asked if I wanted to sit while waiting, and I declined. I also mentioned that this would likely be my last visit because I was surprised to be charged $1.25 just to change the cheese on my burger. She explained that the system typically doesn't handle substitutions well and that they usually note those changes in the comments instead. Unfortunately, it seems that process wasn't followed in my case, as I was still charged the $1.25. What was more disappointing was that no refund was offered. To make matters worse, the food itself was underwhelming. Although the fries were hot, they were rubbery and chewy and didn't taste very good. The burger was not very good and I'm not even sure where my 1.25 cheese was because I barely saw it on my burger. This will be the first and last time I visit any of these establishments. It was a shame that the customer service and the food were both very disappointing. read more

This place is great. I'm not a burger person and I love their chicken and beef burgers. Staff is very friendly and there's always enough seating. I enjoy the outdoor seating and they even have heaters. People who complain about the cost of food don't understand how much quality ingredients and the cost to run a restaurant really is today. Keep up the good work! read more

We went here for dinner - I had the Doddy Melt and my wife had the Mushroom burger and we split the truffle fries. All of these were great! We also liked the service approach - order at the window but while waiting in line to order they come and give you a table assignment - was nice not to have to find a table and everyone that helped us was fantastic and we like the atmosphere. Only thing I didn't love was the shake - they use soft serve yogurt as the base - not my favorite but might be yours. read more

9.00 French fries fed me and my 8yr old daughter. Not enough for my wife and son... ridiculous. The organization is off, I was asked it it was my burger from server, it was another tables...why even use numbers. Brussels sprouts were good. (Just leaves tho) 6:30pm, out of wagyu smashed. Just not a good experience overall read more

My husband and I went to Hopdoddy burger located at 8565 W. university Dr. in McKinney,Tx. We really enjoyed the food! Great burgers! If you eat inside, it's a little loud! The table service was okay. The staff that took our order at the register, he was great! Very happy and upbeat personality! The one thing we really didn't like is the restrooms! They do not have separate restrooms for men and women. My husband and I did not like that at all! This will be a deal breaker for us! read more

This is the only way to eat a bunless burger! Easy ordering. Shareable fries! I got the Wagu Smash burger in a bowl and the burger was very tasty with melted cheese. Perfect spot for bunless burgers! read more

This place is great! Good food, good service. I'd like to throw a shout out to David behind the bar, he rocks it. We've seen him handle a full bar at Happy hour, he doesn't skip a beat. Not to mention he has a great attitude and very personable. We'll be back ! read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE. sat down at the bar, cleared off the area from the patron before me, waited 10 minutes, was asked to move over 1 seat to allow a couple to sit down. i jokingly asked the server that I would move over 1 seat if he could get me someone to help me. The couple sat down beside me, server came and asked them what they would like, I interrupted nicely that I had been waiting. He apologized, cleared the glasses from the previous patron and came back and asked the couple what they would like to drink. I left. Very frustrating since I've been anxiously waiting for this place to open. read more

Ordered a blue cheese burger and got no blue cheese just meet and bread, also got truffle fries and they also forgot the sauce.

The shakes, burgers , fries, and salads were all fresh and so good. My kids are to go back.

Haven't been to Hopdoddy other than in Austin. I love this location and my turkey burger was perfect. Probably wouldn't get the hot honey sweet potato fries again but there are a lot of other menu choices than I remembered. The staff and management were very attentive and we didn't mind sitting at the bar on a busy Saturday night. read more
