I live in Holland and come here a lot. I've always thought it's a great place to eat! The location is great, right downtown on 8th St. Service has always been excellent and food is even better now as I believe they changed their menu recently. I recommend getting an appetizer and pizza if you go as those are very good. Great drinks too! I love their outdoor seating in the summer! Definitely make sure to check out if you're looking for a good downtown dinner spot in Holland! read more

Hops at 84 East - My view from their outdoor seating. - Pizza Near Me - Holland, Michigan

This restaurant's manager tried to gaslight an old(er) man into believing Eagle Rare Rye was Eagle Rare Bourbon instead of paying for his staff's mistake! Here's the full story: My Dad loves his Bourbon. He ordered "Eagle Rare Bourbon neat" and specifically said, "not the Rye". Well when he takes his first sip, Dad immediately knows it is the Rye. Unfortunately, the waiter already walked away. He passed the glass around, and everyone at the table agreed to the best of their knowledge that it is a Rye. I've had both. It tastes like the Rye. When the waiter comes back, he apologies and goes back to get the Bourbon. This time, he comes back with a small tasting glass to make sure Dad wants the Bourbon. He drinks it, confirms this one is the Bourbon, and the waiter is on his way. So far, good customer service! Except, the waiter doesn't come back with the proper drink. Next, the manager comes back and explains he "watched the video footage and confirmed the bartender did not touch the Eagle Rare Rye bottle, therefore the original drink must be the Bourbon". Nope! No no no no no. My Dad tasted both, and they are definitely not from the same bottle! After the manager walked away, I smelled the empty tasting glass and the original Rye glass and 100% confirmed for myself that the liquor in each glass was different! You aren't going to gaslight my nose and my Dad's much more experienced taste buds! Either the manager was lying about reviewing video footage, he reviewed footage from the wrong timeframe, or the original Rye wasn't even from Eagle Rare but some other bottle the manager wasn't looking at. He did NOT confirm that the footage showed the bartender poring Eagle Rare Bourbon the first time. Anyways, we were too polite to make a fuss at the time, but I'm finally taking the time to write this review. Who reviews video footage (or worse, lies about doing so) over a single drink dispute? Who looks an old(er) man dead in the face and claims his taste buds are deceiving him? I'm very disappointed by the behavior of that manager. read more

I'd heard a lot of hype about this place, so I decided to check it out with a friend and I went with their classic burger. Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to expectations. The meat lacked the flavor I was hoping for, and the fries came out overcooked, which was a bit of a letdown. Overall, the meal didn't really hit for me, especially given how highly it's talked about. I think my friend enjoyed her order. That said, it's possible I caught them at an off time, so I wouldn't completely write it off but based on this visit, it wasn't the experience I was expecting. read more

The food was great! Highly recommend the Trumpet Burger. Also had the cheese curds. Big portion. Very tasty. Service was great. Fast and friendly.

Hops at 84 East - James Beard Award Winning Trumpet Burger - Pizza Near Me - Holland, Michigan

Sat at a high top in the bar. The service was good. The steak was good, but seemed to have been cooked hot and fast for a medium rare steak. I substituted the side of fries for mushrooms and that was a great decision! The bartender said they make their Caesar salad in house and it was fishy - just the way I like it! Great Caesar salad dressing. read more

We stopped in one evening to grab a quick drink but ended up decided to order some food. Firstly? What a busy place! We were lucky to grab a seat on the bar side and we were impressed with the digital iPad menus. I enjoyed the margarita flight and the dumplings. My husband is still raving over the Reuben sandwich. We will definitely return when we're in Holland! read more

I love old buildings and the history they invoke. When done right it's truly a top notch atmosphere and hops does it right. From the old brick walls that still have old advertisements on them to the tin ceiling it's just a pleasant environment. They have two long narrow rooms that were probably separate in the past, but combined they allow plenty of seating. I ordered the Pastrami on Rye ($18). This is House smoked brisket pastrami, Swiss cheese, grilled onion, house pickles, and rocket sauce on sourdough rye. It is delicious. Complex weave of flavors all coming together to be a heck of a sandwich. I really enjoyed the pickles on them. I only got the chips with them and they were ok, but nothing special. The person I was with ordered the Trumpet Burger ($), a 2019 James Beard Foundation Blended Burger Project Award Winner. This is a 70:30 grind of local brisket and Pebble Creek mushrooms, house bacon, Roelli Red Rock cheddar bleu, Gochujang pickled shallot, arugula, and duck mayo on a sesame seed bun. It was declared to be fantastic. I had some of the fries that came with it and they were very good. The service was excellent. Very efficient and friendly. Overall an easy 5 star review. I understand why it's so popular in Holland and I will return. read more

Came here with my fiancé when Hollander was absolutely been popping for the Tulip festival. The wait was very long but we snagged two spots at the bar. Had a far 5 hour drive home so didn't get a beer. We got one of the new pizzas. It was absolutely amazing.. since we had breakfast earlier, we weren't all that super hungry but ordering one pizza we still had leftovers. Menus are digital but on an iPad so pictures made everything look amazing. Smart marketing. read more

We had a wonderful experience with Jonathan! He was so knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations. We throughly enjoyed our meal. The hostess had a bit of an attitude when we arrived. To be honest, we were put off and thought about leaving. However, Jonathan more than made up for her lack of hospitality. You might want to rethink staffing at the hostess station. First impressions are everything. With that said, the food was delicious and service was excellent! Thanks Jonathan! read more

I haven't been to many restaurants in Holland, so recently Nate and I met up with some friends at Hops 84 East at their recommendation. I was really happy with our visit - the menu is really large with some interesting items. It's a little bit of Asian fusion/new American with a chef-y twist. We were seated in the main dining area of the large restaurant and our server was really helpful with recommendations. We started with the honey whipped ricotta, which was creamy and delicious, with a bit of heat. I really liked the grilled bread that it came with, as it wasn't overly crunchy and had a nice grilled flavor. I'd get this again! For my entree, I was stuck between a couple options and our server recommended the Thai pasta salad. I added the fried chicken thighs for some protein. Nate got the fried chicken sandwich with hand cut fries. Our food didn't take too long to come out and the portions were generous. I loved the Thai pasta salad, with its creamy peanut dressing, springy udon noodles, and fresh veggies. I will actually try recreating this at home because I loved it so much. The crispy chicken thighs were perfectly fried and juicy. The only complaint I had was that I wished the broccoli was chopped a little smaller as it was raw, but overall it was a 5/5 for me. Nate loved his chicken sandwich. I had some of the fries, which were good, but a thicker hand cut than I typically prefer. I didn't get any dessert, but the ube cheesecake was calling me! If I lived closer, this would be my go-to spot, since the menu is so large and varied. read more

So to preface my review - this is a 5 star for the type of food it is - more bar type food. We ordered a series of appetizers. Fried picked, pretzels and then the pizza to split among all 7 of us. The best of the 3 was the pizza. Others were alright. Next our meals. We ordered a wide variety of things and almost everything came out good. From the burgers to the Irish specials they had. The corn beef hash was a huge hit. We ended with the butter cake and the lava cake, both were fantastic. The service was really solid and so was the ambiance. Overall this is a 4.5 place but I think it earned a 5. read more

Hops at 84 East delivers on every level--flavor, creativity, and quality ingredients. Their James Beard Blended Burger Project winner The Trumpet Burger is a must-try, featuring mix of local brisket and Pebble Creek mushrooms, house bacon, Roelli Red Rock cheddar bleu, Gochujang pickled shallot, arugula, and duck mayo on a sesame seed bun. It's rich, savory, and perfectly balanced. The Levant salad packs a flavorful punch as well - little gem lettuce, carrots, peppadew peppers, radish, red onion, spicy chickpeas, goat cheese, and sunflower seeds, all tossed in a bright za'atar vinaigrette. We added some grilled chicken to ours. And don't miss the baked goat cheese app--warm, creamy chèvre in a spicy marinara with Calabrian chilis, served with toast for dipping. So flavorful. Great food, great service, a laid-back atmosphere, and a solid drink selection including Athletic on tap make Hops at 84 East a spot worth visiting in Holland. Will definitely be back when we're in the area. read more

Went with an old friend for a lunch meetup. We got there right at open and there's two big indoor sections for seating and a decent outdoor space as well but unfortunately it was going to rain. The service was fine I forget our girl but very friendly and courteous and offered up some suggestions when asked. It didn't take long for our food to come out (again might have been first order of the day) but wow. I got the Rueben and he ordered the meat pizza and boy were we pleased. The portion sizes were large but ultimately the flavor was amazing- definitely one of the best Rueben's I had and I got some extra sauce to dip in and the sauce was delicious with an extra kick. Also does my fries in that but the fries were big in the steak style. So tasty I definitely would recommend and I personally can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. read more

I love getting an evening drink here and listening to the live music. Awesome spot to hangout, talk with some friends, or even watch a game. Fun patio seating out front and the bar atmosphere here is one of my favorites. I never choose to eat here as their menu is too eclectic for their target audience, but I enjoy the appetizers and burgers. Make sure to come at night and sit on the bar side. Also great for a social district drink! Best to order: Margarita flight, mule, burger, any appetizer read more

The trumpet burger is a phenomenon. Thick cut smoky charred bacon. Great char on the burger itself, the cheddar blue cheese is understated which is nice. Decent selection of beer. We sat outside with our dog - they bring out a dog bowl for water if the furry guy needs it. We also tried the Korean fried chicken sandwich, was really good as well. There are tourist traps and really solid restaurants and this is the later. read more

I have put re-visiting Hops off way too long. I was here once, before I moved to Holland. The service is outstanding here. From the front door on through this establishment. The energy around you pulls you right in. It's cozy and comfortable. I ordered the margarita flight at the bar, then our table was ready. It was worthy of another, that's for sure! My dinner choice was Chicken & Grits. My partner ordered the Salmon with miso barley risotto. Please go to their website for the full details. This I was the BEST meal and experience I have had in Holland to date. We ended the meal with Brown Butter Cake. Aubrey was our experience director and she was fantastic. Engaging, knowledgeable of the menu, and gave honest feedback to our questions. That's how we ended up with the most delicious dessert we have had in a long time. I may settle here for a while since this experience was so positive and greatly appreciated! read more

So disappointed in the lack of service today, we were at our table for over 10 minutes before we were greeted or asked for a beverage. We left after 1 drink because of the lack of attention . We wanted to try the food but, the table menu only showed brunch. Considering the fact it was almost 2:30pm we were obviously not looking for brunch. The tablets we were provided did not show the entire menu that our kind waiter stated was available..Very confusing and I am only posting this so you are aware of the opportunity to streamline your tablet menu on weekends.. read more

We had a party of 5 and everyone loved their food, especially the Smoked Salmon Panzanella salad. Delish!

Solid dinner outing at Hops right on 8th street. Samuel de Boer, Holland's most successful restaurateur, recommended and joined us (after we were sat), calling Hops "downtown's best bet." And yes, Samuel was spot on. We sat at an outside picnic bench to avoid/skip the 45 minute wait. And we're SO glad we did. If the food's on point, a casual atmosphere can be more fun. Further, when we went inside to wash up, the dining room was bustling. It was nice to be able to chat and hear each other outside. We had the pretzel, burger, pasta, salad, reuben, potatoes, and all kinds of drinks. All dishes were presented well, had great flavor, and were exactly as expected. REALLY enjoyed the burger and fresh cut fries. Juicy, flavorful, and proportioned well, the burger is a dynamite menu choice. Jonathan (server) was friendly, patient, warm, made great drink recommendations, and pivoted without error (which we appreciate). read more

Great menu with a lot of unique items, although it's limited. Good selection of craft beer and mixed drinks. I had the Wagu Steak Frites and they were great. Pizza was good as well. Entrees were avaialble with substitutions for vegetables, fries, etc. Jasmine did a great job as our server and really hustled to make sure our needs were satisfied. Good location with entrances in front and back. read more

I chose this restaurant because they had gluten free options. I had a 30- minute wait on a crowded Sunday and was eventually sat at a table closest to the rear. Every time someone opened the door, I felt an icy blast of air on my back. My server was Kelly G, an incredible young lady who went out of her way to make me feel welcome. I had hoped for a gf pizza but she told me that due to cross contamination in the small kitchen, she couldn't guarantee that it would be gluten free. Just when I considered leaving the establishment, she suggested a risotto which she would personally tell the cooks to make it gluten free. The risotto tasted ok especially with Sriracha. Kelly then suggested the gf turtle torte which was amazing. If it hadn't been for Kelly going the extra mile for me, I would have had nothing for dinner that night because there simply aren't any gf options in Holland for dinner. I gave her a 25% tip because she was awesome. I hope the restaurant understands that it isn't enough to say that an entree is gluten free if it doesn't have wheat - it also shouldn't be cooked in the same contaminated pan or touched by hands that have handled other products. read more

Visiting from out of town and this place is really solid. TONS of seating, our server was great, and the food was pretty tasty. We had a lot of vegetarians/pescatarians at our table, and everyone could find something they wanted, however, the food took a very long time to come out. Overall, I would recommend! read more

Still popular among locals and visitors, Hops wraps a large selection of craft beers and cocktails and an I'm-not-sure-why-it's-so-bougie but tasty menu of noms in a homey ambience. Bar side is more interesting than the dining room. The hot pastrami sandwich from the handhelds category is a winner, and Hops's fries are worth the upgrade. Reliable and friendly; for me it's more of a convenient meet up spot with great beers than a destination restaurant to bang out my food cravings. read more

One of the things I love the most is how their specials are always new, exciting, and tasty. They have price points for everyone and flavor profiles for everyone too. Their cocktails are also top notch as well as their huge draft menu. Service is always great too! Gotta come here for their live music which will have your feet tapping! They have huge garage doors which open when the weather is nice. It gives it Nashville vibes when there is a musician up there playing and the public can hear it too. read more

I've been going to Hops84East for years. The food is good, the service friendly. Highly recommend it. There are 2 sides. The main restaurant side and the bar side where you can also eat, as well as outdoor seating during spring, summer, fall. The restaurant has a back door as well as a front door, so if you don't find parking on 8th street, go around the corner & park in the public parking lot directly behind the restaurant on 9th, and walk in through the back door. There's also a 15 minute parking spot directly behind Hops, which is good for parking if you've ordered take-out & just need to pick it up. The menus are on ipads, which I quite like. You click on a food item, it brings up a picture of the item, along with a description of what's in the item. Really like the display of meals so you get an idea of what you're ordering. A picture worth a thousand words and all that. I've had a variety of things over the years which are good. Thai Pasta salad, spaghetti pie, burgers, pizza, potstickers. One thing I like is that each month there is a Community Pizza (what's on it varies each month) & Hops donates a portion of the proceeds from the Community Pizza sales to a local charity. The charity (like the type of pizza) varies each month. Like that they're supporting local. read more

We ate there last weekend and it was just 'okay'. Our sandwiches were good, but not great and definitely over-priced. We ordered the Pastrami sandwiches, which were served on a narrow wooden board. (I'm not sure who thought serving a messy sandwich on something like that was a good idea, but it's definitely not - it ended up all over the table.) While the portion of pastrami was generous, it was in thick slabs, so with every bite, the meat was pulled out of the sandwich along with the onions and pickles. (I've never seen pastrami served in thick slabs, and I can't recommend it. To bring out the best flavor of pastrami it should be in very thin, almost shaved, slices.) Our server was efficient, but not what I would consider friendly in any way. The only time she smiled was when she brought our bill because it was time for the tip. Pros: the food was good and our server was efficient. Our food came out fairly quickly, the portion size was good, and it was hot. Cons: Over-priced menu, difficult to find parking, unfriendly server, poor food presentation (for lack of better terminology). Overall, we might eat there again if it's convenient, but it's doubtful. We're definitely not rushing back for any reason. read more

I love the beautiful downtown Holland and we came here expecting a party of 7 which was a big party. We arrived at around 4 which it wasn't too busy then but it definitely filled up as the night went on. It was the 20th of December so I think folks were gathering for the holidays. The service was. A little slow getting to us but they could have been short staffed. There were no happy hour specials unfortunately but they do have an extensive beer list and their wine was really good for being their house wine. Eventually we ordered one of their pizzas and wow! It was fantastic and very filling. The ingredients were fresh and cut into small pieces so it was easy to share. I liked the fact that they had iPads for the menus so that we reduce the paper waste. Overall it was a good experience just wish they had some specials for happy hour and a little faster service read more

We usually come to Hops 84 for brunch on the weekends. We've been here many times and it has never disappointed. Their sausage gravy is some of the best I've had in the Midwest. I've never seen Hops 84 not crowded lol. It also can be a bit noisy, but that's to be expected for a crowded place. Today we came for dinner. Hops 84 has one of the best beer lists in Holland. I can always find something that suits my taste. Today I had their special burger, The Saber. It was excellent. We also had the cheese curds app, as well as The Spaniard pizza.
