The beer and cocktail mine is huge! It's got an open seating area and a pretty large bar. The bathrooms are at the back and off to the side, there is a very large room looking like it's for catered parties or large parties connected is the barrel room which serves breakfast. We sat at the bar and the bartender is super attentive 1 o'clock in the afternoon on a Thursday and it's not very busy The music is decent not too loud. There are a lot of TVs. We ordered Reuben combo with pastrami and corned beef with a side of macaroni and cheese and we also ordered a side of the cornbread casserole just because it's something unique and different to try. As for the sandwich we both enjoyed it although it's a little smoky Mac & cheese is okay. It definitely could use green onions on top to dress it And the cornbread casserole is a homemade cornbread that's soft with like a kind of cream filling and loaded with corn it was my least favorite We also ordered a couple old-fashioned. I don't like that they have the little ice cubes, butdrinks are tasty. read more

Love their food, especially the Irish egg rolls!! They are like having mini Reuben's!!

We came for breakfast and the hash is amazing! Food was piping hot and service was friendly. We liked it so much we went back for lunch.

We made reservations for six of us for Father's Day and got the best waitress ever! I mean, they're all nice, but Tracy went above & beyond. She was so sweet and funny, and gave us great service! She made my hubby's Father's Day extra special. BTW...the food was GREAT too. read more

The bacon chili cheese dog was delicious. Mahi mahi tacos were as well. Dog friendly patio. A few homeless/downtrodden folks approached us on the patio but were not harassing. Vast beer list. Great service. 100% satisfied. Will be back. read more

Tonight was my first visit as I recently moved and have heard several times how I just HAVE to check out the Hoppy Pig. Now I know it is worth all the hype. Ambiance, food, drinks and service were all top notch! We sat under the massive old timey stained glass chandelier at the big community table. What a neat idea. I had the bison burger. Perfectly seasoned and cooked to a beautiful medium just as I requested. The coleslaw had a bit too much onion, but it was still good. My Mom had tots with the trio wrap. It was so deliciously smokey. And a "fall off the porch" drink that was just peachy and not too strong for her. But Beau was the shining star of our visit. He took time to go over the menu and make suggestions. And was very attentive to refill our waters and check in after we had our first few bites without hovering. I will definitely be back soon to try the wings! read more

First time here and the food was amazing. You get plenty of food for what you pay for. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and very clean environment. read more

The ambiance and decoration of this place is cute and inviting. The waitress we had was just not as knowledgeable as maybe a waitress should be of the menu and being able to suggest food and drinks. We had asked her what she suggested and she responded that she doesn't eat there because the food isn't healthy. . Very nice girl but that was kind of a turn off of their food. But food was decent and drinks were good. Just feel like maybe we need to try this experience again. read more

Been here a few times decided give them a well deserved review and shoutout! Breakfast served! Great place located right in Bradley. It reminds me of a sports bar with dining seating. Plenty of room for big or small crowds. Menu was pretty simple for breakfast. Food tasted even better. Ordered the hillbilly biscuits and gravy and chicken and bacon with waffles. Portions were more than enough (can't complain). Server was a nice guy very well mannered and very prompt with our order and seating. Great place CHECK EM OUT! read more

Great atmosphere with rustic decor. Our waiter was very attentive and we had great service! I ordered the Irish Egg Rolls which were a March special and they were absolutely amazing! It's too bad they aren't on the permanent menu. The Texas Burger that I ordered was dry and I definitely wouldn't recommend that, however, the fries are great!! If I were able to get the Irish Egg Rolls then I'd definitely return to eat those again! read more

Food is not good and the service atrocious! No Ambiance. Did not enjoy my visit here. Better to stay home and fix a oeanut butter and jelly sandwhich. read more

Great Food, Great Service I'd recommend the pulled pork bacon grilled cheese. Ask for Tracy she was awesome. read more

This was our second visit to Hoppy Pig. Our first experience was great--excellent food and friendly service--which is why we decided to bring family back. Unfortunately, this visit was a very different experience. We were seated and then waited about 10 minutes without being greeted. When we asked if we had a server, the staff member responded, "I assume so," (kinda rudely) and went to check. After waiting another 10 minutes with no service, we decided to leave. As we were leaving, we overheard a waitress complaining that she had just found out about our table and was upset that we were leaving, which made the situation uncomfortable. Another party was also leaving at the same time and commented, "I'm guessing you guys had bad service too." It's disappointing because the food is good, but the service really overshadowed the experience. Unfortunately, we won't be returning. read more

Driving from Chicago down to Southern Illinois can be tiring and decided to make a pit stop for dinner. It is quite hard finding gluten free places in my route because it tends to go through "rural" Illinois. I found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try because they had gluten free buns. I entered through the parking lot on the side and decided to sit at a table. They had a nice bar area with high tops and a banquet room in the back. My waitress was super nice and guided me through the menu. I ordered the bay of pigs sandwich on a gluten free bun. It was decent, although I should've had some BBQ sauce to go with it. The meat was a little on the bland side. The seasoned fries were extra crispy and had a great taste. I would definitely venture back during future roadtrips and try their burgers next! read more

Hear all good from everyone that goes. Food and drinks well worth the trip, we will go back

Mahi mahi tacos that have the freshness of a Florida Gulf-side restaurant. Easy 5 stars. The food and beer menu's here are enormous and stacked with great choices. My son had the brisket which he devoured in minutes. My wife had the pulled pork and bacon grilled cheese sandwich which I had a bite of..also really damn good. If I weren't a couple hours away I'd make this place a frequent stop. For anyone in the area looking, do yourself a favor and stop in. Bon appetite! read more

Well, unfortunately the Prime Rib sandwich made me sick as hell. For 2 days nothing but vomiting and diarrhea. It's sad because our bill was $76 plus a 20 dollar tip. We will not be returning to this "over hyped" bar/restaurant. Service was slow, the food was bad and everything was over priced. read more

OMG!!!! I dined in there last Thursday night and order the Irish Egg Rolls. Absolutely amazing. Fried to perfection!. So I figured what could top that? The brisket sandwich! Whoa...... service was incredible. Bo never missed a beat and I will definitely be back and ask for Bo! read more

The AC is broken it is like an oven in here. How can you have a good meal when your about to pass out. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! read more

Everything went great! Comfortable setting, with lots of diners without any overcrowding. We had a great time here. We stopped here after the game at Memorial Field. The service was kind and efficient. All our meals were hot, aesthetically pleasing, and best of all DELICIOUS! We also ordered 2 additional coleslaws and the golden rule is: if you can get this right, it's a pass across the board. They got it right! Excellent coleslaw recipe. Don't change it. If you are in the area of Kankakee Illinois, make sure you plan Hoppy Pig in your itinerary. You won't regret it. read more

Beau was great, he suggested the Honey Sriracha carrots that were great. Good food and service. I definitely suggest this place.

This place is our go to for great food! Food is always consistent and the service above par! Highly recommend.

We were very excited to try this place while visiting until we sat there for at least 20 minutes without being offered to drink or so much as a hello!! The waitress even came by at at least four times without either greeting us or offering us anything. We even asked the other patrons to see if there was anything we had to do! I was disgusted by the awful service and unprofessional attitude of the server today... I will not be back and will gladly take my business to Brickstone brewery, which is only 5 to 8 minutes away!! If I could give zero stars, I would !! read more

I came here with my family to celebrate some birthdays while visiting and loved the vintage/ industrial decor and style. The building appears to be an old warehouse for a bike shop or something similar and had the original structure and even original garage doors. It was pretty busy when we went as there was a party happening in a large room connected to the main area. Parking was hard to find because they were busy and we had to park a few stores down- there was also designated parking available across the road but it seemed like a busy intersection to cross. We started with a Bacon jalapeño popper appetizer and Fried pickles. The jalapeño poppers were not spicy at all which is good if you don't like spice but for somebody who likes spice such as my husband, he was very disappointed. The fried pickles were very salty. I ordered blackened shrimp tacos and they were okay but I wouldn't order again. They were very dry and not very much slaw on them. My husband got the Texas burger and said it was okay but also wouldn't order again. Another family member got the hot wings and they were the highlight of the night and what took the review from a 3 to 4 star review. He got 10 Jumbo hot wings for $15 and they were DELICIOUS! They had just enough spice to enjoy them without burning your mouth and packed full of flavor. The server was very helpful with answering our questions and our food came out pretty quick. Key takeaway: if you come here- order the hot wings! read more

Not about the food but our server Paige. This girl was fantastic all through the night while we were there. She was so on point with all her service standards. She was very personable and showed genuine empathy toward my concern. She is the kind of employee I'd like to have working with me. read more

Food: the food here is above it. Not the greatest, but prepared well. My buddy and I had the jambalaya. It was very flavorful seemed very authentic and tasty. Service: the service is always was wonderful. I've never had a bad server in this building ever very attentive, very friendly very timely. Ambience: quiet, little local burger, and beer joint with many quality tap beers. If you're looking for something different to drink, this is probably your place. Overall: A read more

The food, service amd atmosphere were terrific! I won't stop coming here until I've tried everything on the menu!

I was visiting Bradley, IL and at first, I wanted to go to Jojo's BBQ. I had eaten there a few years ago and shocked at how good it was for Illnois. Sadly, they were closed on Sunday. So the next best option was the Hoppy Pig. The Hoppy Pig is a bar/restaurant/pub. It seems like I smelled someone smoking in here a few times but never saw anyone smoking. It must have been something else. There are a lot of TVs and the restaurant is clean. There is parking on both sides of the building. The menu is huge! But there is lots of diversity from burgers, BBQ, mac and cheese, and tacos. I started with fried pickles. These pickles were cut thick and had a Cajun Horseradish Sauce with them. There were a ton of them too - more than what one person can eat. For my entree, I went with the Bradley Porker and cornbread. The cornbread was sweet and phenomenal. But my meal went south with the burger. The burger comes with onion strings, pulled pork, pork belly, bacon, beer cheese, and Bourbon BBQ sauce. It sounds good but not quite well on the execution. There was little beer cheese on it. The Bourbon BBQ sauce was also non-existent but they did give me extra on the side like I requested. Except it turns out it tasted a lot like Sweet Baby Ray's Hickory and Brown Sugar, definitely not Bourbon. The bun was a brioche bun which was good. The meat itself was just ok. Before I chose the burger, I had like 5 other entrees I was trying to decide between and maybe I just picked the one that wasn't the best for me. But I would give The Hoppy Pig another chance because it does seem like a good place to catch a game. The menu is also huge so I should be able to find something more desirable for me next time. read more

Went for brunch. Had a reservation and there was confusion. The food was okay. Lots of fat on the prime rib. But the good pieces with horseradish were excellent. Table service was not good on a holiday, but it was a buffet. I guess it's one of the only decent brunches in that town. They kept up with food replenishments and didn't allow to aluminum pans to dry out so that was good. Ambiance was a bar setting with high stools. Had to park across the street. Everything appeared to be homemade except the vegetables. Maybe the ham. read more

In Kankakee for work. This has to be the best bbq in town. Was highly impressed and will definitely be back next time I'm in town

Stopped in for a late lunch today, so glad we did! The smoked reuben combo and prime rib Philly were both delicious, as well as our beverages. Our server was the sweetest. Food came out quickly, and the tots were generous and crispy. Excellent meal! read more

The breakfast burger-sad take on the mcgriddle? Greasy bread. With a sad beef patty...Slopped on top. I think it was gravy and hash browns...... Oooof.. ‍Do not recommend the breakfast burger... The beer was 10/10... Stout... yumm...Saved the day..... read more

I tried the wings, I could only eat three. Gooey breading and not very tasty at all. Love the pretzels and cheese dip. Deep fried brownie sundae was just okay. I usually get the pretzel styx and a crab cake, I'll just stick to that next time. Mac n cheese with buffalo chicken is also good. read more
