It's a good restaurant for what it is... def on the level of a place like Red Robin (Red Robin may be a little better). The mall location has tight seating, and honestly the outdoor seating in warmer weather is the best option. We've eaten here several times; the service is friendly and talkative, and the food is decent. Their adult drinks, like the icy drops, are delicious if you're into fruitier drinks. I esp enjoy their salads, with the Mediterranean Salad being my current favorite. The restaurant appears to be mostly clean, but the tables (unless you're in a booth) are very small, and the seating is snug. With four kids, we wish the seating were a bit more comfortable. read more

We ordered lunch to go to take to my Mother-in-law for Mothers' Day. She is home bound but has enjoyed Hops n Drops in the past. The online ordering is HORRIBLE. I tried the night before and the morning of and the correct menu would not come up. Breakfast food or not showing the lighter lunch specials. I called in and placed the order directly with them. This was great for them to do. I ordered the mini western burger and my wife and her mom ordered the mini fish and chips. My burger did not taste like it had any bbq sauce on it. Luckily I ordered a side of bbq so I was able to support the lack of sauce on the burger. The buns didn't taste toasted. It was good otherwise. The mini fish and chips were good but fries are hard with a to-go order and so they were very soggy. My M-in-L was happy so that's all that mattered. Kudos to the staff for having our food ready when we arrived. read more

I'm not even sure the name of our server, he didn't introduce himself. Just an asshole. Kinda tall with pierced ears. Basically called us stupid 4 different ways bc we weren't familiar with the WA law requiring ID to sit in the "bar area", which is really just a booth 20ft from the actual bar. We just moved from AZ which is definitely not as cutthroat. He barked at us asking "are you minors?" in the worst tone you could imagine, sarcastically gave the "are you not from here??" And topped it off by smacking the "no minors allowed" sign as he led us out of the bar area and said "see? It's posted right here" Was just an asshole guy for no reason. We sat down to get food we didn't need to be bombarded with sarcasm and annoyance just for being there. We are both 26, just did not have 1 of our IDs on us. We were 1 of 3 groups in the restaurant, I would've thought he wanted more tip money. He looked 18, which was pretty ironic. He sat us on the other side of the place, which is dirty and grungy. The carpet is disgusting. We left before ordering. Probably will never go back bc of that 1 server. Other employees were even looking at him, seemingly wondering what was shoved up his ass. He pissed us off. Unnecessary. read more

Wife and I just had an early dinner with Hop's & Drops. What a dismal experience! For what they charge. My wife ordered the Mac & Cheese that was advertised as creamy! Her Mac and cheese was penne pasta and lacked the creamy portion of her dish. Just a dry bowl of pasta. The bread they served with it was some bastardized take on garlic bread, flat bread! My mushroom burger had about 4 slices of mushrooms that were barely cooked. Burger lacked flavor and wasn't seasoned at all. The tater tots were a mess of crumbs and bits on my plate. There was no love what so ever in our meal and for what we paid they should be ashamed of what they put on a plate and call a meal! Best of luck to your business if you keep serving food like that! read more

Pretty boring menu, Applebees is the same thing as this place with just a better menu, might as well just go there

I used to really like this place and always said I'd never been disappointed, but after having two bad experiences in a row I sadly cannot say that anymore. Both times I received sub-par food that I couldn't eat. One of those times included being forgotten that we were even there! I had to tell someone and a very nice bartender took care of us and took our order. He apologized and tried to make things better. I wish I had his name! I will probably give Hops and drops one more chance. I like the ambiance and hopefully they will be as good as they used to be! read more

Ryan aka "Texas" was our server tonight, not only was he on top of everything and getting our food to us in a timely matter but he also checked in on us frequently and took time to listen! They had new cheese sticks they were trying out which had a thicker center, they came out frozen at first and not only did Ryan apologize profusely but he also replaced our cheese sticks and added a 10% discount to our entire bill!!(score) but seriously the service was great and the food was amazing! We will definitely be back again! The ambiance was calm and friendly with a wonderful well lit place how could i not love it? read more

A decent American restaurant! The portions are good and there are tons of options. It's not anything amazing, but a great spot for reliable food. The drinks though, Amazing! So many options and all so good. The Empress Mojito is one of the best I have had! Definitely recommen read more

Salt lick anyone? This is the place to come. Everything is overly salted....several in my group noted this and not just me.

A good simple mall spot. A little pricey but you get great portions. Definitely check out their happy hour, they have some great deals. Got their southwestern chicken taquitos and the chicken strips. Their chicken strips are superb, amazing flavor in the breading, I was shocked. Great friendly service. Sports playing constantly if that's your jam but an overall good vibe. read more

Been here a few times, overall it is pretty good. The menu is nothing really revolutionary other than some interesting takes on Mac n Cheese, but everything I have ordered here has been very tasty. They need to hire more staff, at least out front, and maybe in the kitchen as well. Anytime we have sat in, it takes a long time. From being seated to having a server come for the initial drink orders to getting food order placed to getting food to getting bill. It all just takes a long time. Being right next to a movie theater, this is not really a good thing, as people probably want to eat and get to the movie quicker. Interior is very meh as well. Basically everything is painted black and the lights are kept low so they don't have to put a lot of effort into decor. Still a solid meal for a decent price if you don't mind the wait. read more

Best fish and chips in the area! Actually everything we've gotten has been great. Service is awesome too.

Hops n Drops has become our go to place in Spokane Valley. The Servers are top notch, very pleasant and efficient. The kitchen puts out consistent food every time we visit. They have a varied menu, mostly pub style food, but they do vary it by season. They offer a good selection of drinks. Lastly they support local charities which is a good plus. We have visited other locations and they have been good also. read more

So we were feeling like a burger and we found this place on DoorDash and the photos looked good so we gave them a try. Man, I'm glad we did. The food was delivered really fast. I guess I'm gonna work backwards and start from dessert because donuts are kind of my crack and they had mini donuts. They were beyond good. They were cinnamon and sugar, but they still had a crispy outer crust right before you bit into the soft fluffy donut. I've never seen a cake donut get crispy like that. I love being surprised by food and this was a fantastic.one. I got the western burger. I'm not gonna lie. It was a little pinker on the inside then I would have liked, but I stuck my finger in there and it was hot all the way through so...moving on. I got crispy fries. They were good. The garlic tater tots were my favorite. They were crunchy and garlicky, hard not to keep going back for more. The triple threat burger I think had chicken too and the BLTA got no complaints from the other people with me. . If you haven't given this place a try yet go check them out. You won't be disappointed. read more

I'm visiting family from California, and we came to have dinner here on Friday evening. When we walked in and told the hostess how many were in our party (6) it was almost an inconvenience to get us seated. Once seated the waitress was very attentive. However before our food was brought out to us we were informed that our entire meal was going to be "on the house" due to the long wait, which in our opinion was not long at all maybe 20 mins if that. Food was good while eating it, but once we got home all of us who ordered a burger got food poisoning and began throwing up nonstop. I am 8 months pregnant and ended up in the ER. So just be cautious if going there and getting a burger. read more

High disappointed, went in to have lunch with the Family was told they didn't have enough staff to seat us. Sunday afternoon lunch time. Group of six turned away. read more

The service was excellent, and the food was good. I would recommend the garlic ranch for dipping. I enjoyed my meal but it was a bit heavy. Delicious just heavy. My son loved his chicken sandwich and demolished it with his 20 something metabolism!!! read more

This was our first time here and the ne t time we are back visiting we will stop again. My stepdaughter lives in Spokane Valley and loves this place and I see why.

About 2 or 3 years ago they were good service then, had good food. Today, after not being in the establishment for about a year, I went there again. Hasn't changed, but has improved! Casey is the manager, her and her staff are very polite and courteous. They treat their customers great. Got to chat with a few, kind and courteous. They open at 8 am for breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. I'm going to try it. Yes they do have good food, as I've eaten dinner there. I'm sure they won't let me down. There isn't enough stars so 5 it is. Highly recommend it! Yes, the beer maybe a little over price, but look at their overhead in a mall setting...they are worth the price. Their dinner menu is competitive to other places around here....again 5+ stars read more

We enjoyed everything! Only slight complaint is that it seems a bit overpriced but I know most places are having to raise prices due to inflation and supply limitations. (& all the overpriced mall options nearby are not even remotely worth it). We all particularly enjoyed the jalapeño cream cheese burger - not a huge fan of the tots but my husband liked them! Overall would recommend! read more

Wife and I went to Sweet Lou's and ate one evening... the place looks super nice. We sat outside at the bar side. Great place to go. The waitress was super nice and the drinks were stiff... I had the Mahi Taco and my wife had the shrimp taco... the shrimp taco was better to me cause I like the sweet spice but the the Mahi tacos were good also squeeze some lemon on it and it works out. Good place to eat and reasonable prices for the upscale experience.. read more

I really like the atmosphere.. tables were pretty small though.We were seated at a booth with a chair off the end for five people which happened to also be a walkway next to a wall so it was pretty crammed. Decent happy hour menu. I ordered street tacos and a margarita off of it. Was it okay. My husband got French onion soup and a Caesar salad a Siberian mule and a Long island iced tea off of the happy hour menu. He enjoyed it all. My daughter got a peach tea unlimited refills and a barbecue chicken salad. One of my boys got the black and blue burger He said it was really good with tots.And my other little guy got a double-patty burger which was extremely messy. The bun pretty much disintegrated. He also got a side of fries with that. And I ordered tots towards the end. Everything was pretty good It wouldn't say it was amazing but it was worth checking out the place and maybe coming back again.I guess it wasn't really paying attention to the price of the tots that I got as a side.. It was the same as my husband's French Indian soup. Had I known tater tots we're going to cost $6.50 I would have gotten the soup instead. read more

We walked in on a Friday night around 7 and had to seat ourselves which was no big deal, but most of the tables were dirty so we sat at the bar top. We're glad we did because we had the best service. I think his name was Tegan and he was very knowledgeable and friendly. He got our drinks right away and let me sample some beer before ordering. We decided to split a burger and fries which were pretty tasty. They also brought out our order split on two plates for us. We'll be back. read more

Food was good and the drinks better but the service was fantastic. Definitely an excellent choice.

Food is always good. My husband and I started eating here on the west side and so happy to see that it was in Spokane. First time not door dashing it! Happy we came in, Ryan was our server and he was such a great server. His smile and happy energy made our meal even better. Thank you Ryan!! read more

The Guacamole Burgers are FANTASTIC. Best of the best! Had to get a burger from Outback (only cuz H&D was closed) and it was such a let down. Hops will be open on Feb 5 at new location. I've marked my calendar, I know what's for dinner that night. read more

Food was delicious and customer service was great. Didn't take long for our order to arrive even with a bustling restaurant! read more

Thank you all for a wonderful experience read more

I wish I could leave a -5 star review. This was the WORST dining experience I've had in recent memory. I ordered a salad and when it came I asked if it was a full size and she said yes. It was basically a dinner salad- it even came on a dinner plate. They also charged me a dollar just to change the type of chicken- it came with chicken but to change the type of chicken was extra?!? $15 for a dinner salad...WTF?? He got a french dip and said that if he wasn't so hungry he would have sent it back, he said it was way below an Arby's if that tells you anything. He asked for swiss cheese and for one single slice of cheese it was a dollar! This place has terrible food, way overpriced and tiny portions. We will NEVER go back again. I wish I'd checked other's reviews before going here. Should have been a sign when every other restaurant was packed and they had about 5 tables with people. So annoyed that we spent $50 on complete garbage. read more

I've eaten here a few times and it's alright. Nothing great, not bad. Until the other day I ordered the Mac and cheese to go because I was swamped at work. If you take a look at the picture what I got was a vat of cheese and honestly about 12 noodles. The pita bread it came with was the best part of the meal. read more

Tried this place while waiting for a movie. Beer was cold and tasty, Service was quick. Hit the happy hour and didn't wait long for my first drink. Nothing stands out to me as far as extra great, but a solid place to hang out if one needs to wait or chill for a time. Would recommend read more

An underwhelming and expensive burger in an uninspiring mall parking lot. Fries were great! Fry sauce was not. Well, at least the bathrooms are clean! read more

This place is fun. Plus their clam chowder is excellent. Jalapeño burger, yum. Rub tips, yes please. Every meal there has been fantastic and fun. Great staff. Fun drinks for adults and kid. read more

Well...I'll never go back. Waiter was nice. He clearly doesn't prepare the food so I still gave him a good tip. The boneless chicken wings were gross and full of gristle. Ordered a salad without tomatoes. Received salad WITH tomatoes. Waiter sent back. Tried to remedy. Salad was brought back. The kitchen staff clearly just picked through because there were still remnants of tomatoes. Chicken sandwich was dry. Most likely frozen chicken breast heated up. Does anyone actually employ real cooks anymore. Is everything pre-prepared food from URM and you just add sauce??? Ick. read more

Ordered a BLT&A with fruit. Asked for cucumber instead of bacon. $13.25 and I got half a scoop of fruit with a rotting grape on top. The sandwich was mayo toast with hardly anything on it. This place was great the first time, maybe I just had beginners luck read more

A little pricy for what it is but the Mac and cheese is so good! This was a go to us for during covid when ordering out was bigger.

What's happening here? Used to love this place...maybe an off day? They have a pesto grilled cheese that the cook remade twice...okay, as maybe an off day so we let them remake it...nope. Sorry folks, it's off my happy hour list. read more

I was a little hesitant to try a place in the mall, to be honest. However, I'm happy to report I was pleasantly surprised! Daughters and I visited after a long day of shopping. We all got salads, and their friend got taquitos which looked really good. The girls loved their side of fries with the salads. The chicken in my salad tasted freshly cooked. The bill was $70 for 4 of us. Salads were about $15 each. I was expecting pretty sub par food, but it was better than expected for the mall. Not super busy for a late Sat afternoon. I wouldn't call this a destination dine spot, but if you want a nice salad at the mall, it's worth sitting down for. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants! They are very careful with dietary restrictions. I have Celiac Disease, and have never once had an issue here. The staff is extremely knowledge and always take precautionary measures. Will definitely be coming back soon! read more

the service was really good however, the chicken from my sandwich gave me salmonella :(
