A friend of mine invited me to HopSaint Brewing during COVID (September 18, 2020). Masks are required but you can take them off once you're at the table. Seating is limited and I highly suggest calling in advance for reservations. They're closed on Mondays, so I made reservations Tuesday the same week. We dined on a Friday evening. To my surprise, parking was also limited. The plaza is usually empty during the day so to see a full parking lot in the evening definitely caught me by surprise. My friend is a regular at HopSaint and she couldn't stop raving about their Baked Marin Brie, Killer Shrimp and variety of beer on tap. We ordered both "beer bites" and I agree - neither disappointed! HopSaint is a Brewery so probably want to know about the beer. Well, I don't really drink (I'm a foodie) but when I do have a drink, beer is definitely not my thing. However, the bartender was so friendly and knowledgeable - he hooked me up with a few samples and I immediately fell in love with the "2 Towns Cider House Pacific Pineapple" cider. So does cider count as beer? ;) Because it was really good! If you're in the South Bay, I highly suggest stopping by HopSaint, you won't regret it. Great service, chill vibe, and really really good tasty food! I can't wait to go back! read more

Meet some friends here for dinner and a few beers. Over all a pretty good place for food and beer. The shrimp is really good, a must. I had the catfish poorboy sandwich and slaw. It was good. Prices here are a little high for bar food, but i guess its a little better than normal bar food. Service was great and the place is nice and clean. It is really noisy in here so dont expect a quiet dinner. Bar has tvs and more seating. Over all pretty cool place to grab a beer and food. read more

So far I've really loved my couple trips to HopSaint. Its a cool brewhouse with great beers and fantastic food. The food wow...so amazing. On my initial trip there I didn't have the greatest expectations but damn if I wasn't blown away. Extremely attentive and knowledgeable service staff, and a super cool menu. Enjoyed so far: - HopSaint burger was huge and well cooked and delicious. - Jambalaya was great per my friend. - Pork Ribs were amazing. - Corn bread and jerk-chicken drumettes apps were very good. - BBQ chicken salad was pretty good too, w/ pulled BBQ on it. Decent amount of parking co-located in a little strip mall esque area on 190th. Place had a great vibe and i was impressed. read more

If you're going here on a Friday evening with a party of more than 8 people, call ahead and make reservations. Although we arrived at 5:30 p.m., it was only a 30 minute wait and a beer at the bar helped to pass the time. We tried the Sweet Stout and it was comparable to Guiness. The deviled eggs, killer shrimp (a must try!), baked brie, grilled corn on the cob and Hopsaint chorizo flatbread were amazing! For entrees we loved the brisket! We liked the tri tip sandwich, roasted chicken flatbread, jambalaya and southern fried catfish. We don't recommend the grilled hanger steak salad which was hard and chewy and the dressing was too tart for our liking. Although we read the reviews for the smoked pork ribs, we didn't care for it. The caramel sauce overpowered the flavor of the ribs and the meat was not as tender as we had hoped. For dessert, The Saint is definitely a must try if you like toasted marshmallows. read more

Great brisket and assortment of quality craft beer. Definitely worth the trip to find this spot since the beer is excellent and a great menu with a real upscale selection not found in a typical brewery. read more

$0.50 cents for a separate BBQ sauce during covid without being told it will be an additional charge and didn't even help w/ the flavoring? The brisket meat (was smoked) but it was tasteless and tough. Any place that charges for additional BBQ sauce isn't a real BBQ restaurant, skip and go to Lucilles. Meat portions are small and pricey $16 (3 slices of brisket meat and 1/2 a potato cut into 4 pieces). It's a bar that turned the parking lot for outdoor seating.. stick to the brewed beer. Maybe get a pizza or salad for a pricey $16 + tax lunch snack. read more

HopSaint Brewing - Undisclosed additional charges for BBQ sauce? - New American Near Me - Torrance, California

Went there with my daughter, son-in-law and grandson on Friday which was an observance of Veterans Day. They had a nice crowd with seating inside and outside. The noise level inside was a little much caused by music that was louder than it should have been. Seating was good for a party of four or more. Service was good and prompt. Now for the food. Both me and my son-in-law ordered the brisket. Daughter ordered Tri tip and grandson had the baby back ribs. I'm pretty much a perfectionist when it comes to smoked barbecue. The Tri tip was bland. The ribs and brisket were both undercooked. I've eaten here previously and found everything to my liking. My guess is they simply pulled the meat from the smoker too early. I'll go back but later in the afternoon and hopefully get barbecue that's got more character. read more

Everything went well! Excellent service/food! Even though chicken wings were gone (for the day), I ordered the brisket burger, and it was delicious.... read more

Delicious food, great atmosphere, super chill staff and even better beer! The pulled pork poutine is a crispy-cheesy appetizer that packs a punch of flavor with that pulled pork on top!

HopSaint has AMAZING food. If you like IPAs this is also a great place to visit! I'm not a big fan of IPAs and their other beers are usually just ok but the food... is so worth it... Staff wear masks and face shields. Tables are spread out but some in some spots you sit pretty close to others. No inside seating is available and if you're there around 6 pm on a weekend you'll have to wait like an hour to make sure to call earlier and leave your name! read more

HopSaint Brewing - A growler and a howler from hopsaint - New American Near Me - Torrance, California

We got there @ 5:45pm assuming we 'should be able to' get a table...wrong! Even the parking was very busy, and had to park towards the end of 99cent lot. We were told it'd be 30 min wait. Not sure if I was up for it, but my friend was committed to eat there, ... After 45 min (around 6:30pm) when lots of families with smaller kids started to leave, we were given a table finally! Bar area seemed to have quicker turn around - that might be an easier seating option if all tables are occupied. Got brisket, bacon mac n cheese, killer shrimp - they were as good as I remembered, and our server was friendly plus efficient. While the menu says brisket is Wed/Sat special, they might have it other days - you should ask! So, in spite of the long wait, I would still give them 4-stars. read more

The food was absolutely excellent and good beer too. They have a great menu selection and very professional and attentive staff. I only wish that you could order a pitcher of beer.

Disabled people do not go here! Upon rolling into the restaurant (I'm in a power wheelchair) I was greeted by a lady with long black hair, who immediately said "dogs aren't allowed here". No hello, no welcome, just seriously off putting rude energy. My service dog remained outside the front door because I am a regular here, and respect their no animals inside rule. I told her he is my service animal, we eat here regularly albeit outside so we respect rules of the establishment (although California law protects service dogs to enter ANY establishment). She refused to seat us, and told me that my dog "clearly isn't a service animal" due to his mannerisms. She then asked for papers to prove he is a service animal after telling me he wasn't. This is a clear violation of California law, and I hope that the owner of this establishment use video footage to validate this situation go down at approximately 1:30pm today and write her up or let her go as she is a serious risk of litigation for this local restaurant. I implore anyone who relies on a service animal to navigate the world to seriously consider bringing their business elsewhere as this is not a place we should be supporting as a community of disabled humans. Do better. Be better. Hire employees who understand the laws and respect them, if I wasn't a local who loves hop Saint food & beer, I would call my attorney and file a serious suit. read more

I only got to try one beer, a pilsner, and it was quite good. Good representation of the style overall. I liked this place for its atmosphere, vibe, service, and food. The food is interesting. The ingredients are nothing crazy, but the way they've combined them has made for some unique items. They're going for some sort of Gulf Coast thing: Louisiana + Texas BBQ. Hey, I like both of those a lot! Had some small plates: pulled pork poutine, andouille sausage, and shrimp. It was all very good. Then the "Saint" for dessert, which was pretty amazing and worth it. This is a pretty nondescript place and the strip mall it's in looks like... well, it looks like Torrance. A few outside tables, a bar inside. Inside was a little hot but felt very airy with the high ceilings and plants. It was also loud inside, but it's a brewery, so... They seemed to have a really good crowd and the vibe was relaxed and welcoming. The server was probably one of the better servers I've had in a while, at least for a place at this price point. He took the time to explain the food and, with the poutine, mentioned that it was their take on poutine and I shouldn't expect real poutine to come out (I guess not many people know what it is?). But also had good recommendations and seemed to really know the menu. And I would say the same for the food: value. You're paying pretty normal restaurant prices here, but the food quality is really good and - like I said - it's interesting. So you're not spending $100 per seat and dealing with pretentious asswipes and having to make a reservation, but rather more like $20, if that, and the people here are just cool. So I was impressed, but I honestly don't ever have very high expectations for random breweries I visit. I would come back though. read more

A very hip and chic neighborhood restaurant and brewery, there are so many breweries in Torrance but this one is unique cause it has a full menu with amazing comfort food and daily specials. We came in on a Sunday early afternoon, it was packed but there was a table for two available at the moment so we didn't have to wait at all. The craft beer list was so impressive, they also have a bunch of bottle beers, ciders and wines. I decided to do beer taster, hubby ordered a pint, mostly I tried hoppy IPAs cause they are my favorites, the Duke of Haze-rd IPA was so refreshing and strong so I had to order another pint after the taster. For food we tried grilled chicken flatbread, blackened catfish po boy, chicken and shrimps jambalaya with grits and Sunday all day special burrito French toast. Most of the food was so flavorful and comforting except the catfish was a little overdone, but the hot sauce our waitress gave to me was so good. I especially liked the jambalaya even though it was a bit different from regular ones cause it came with grits not rice or pasta. Portions were decent and prices were fair, our waitress was also very friendly and attentive even though she was so busy all the time. I really liked this brewery restaurant cause it's a real sit down restaurant with amazing craft beers, think we will come back real soon! read more

Came into town for a quick trip to Redondo, to Get out of the heat where I originally stay: Well that was a bust because it was still 102 in Redondo. So we left and found this cute little brewery. They had a small setup and mostly friendly service. To be honest i am rating HopSaint three stars simply for the service that I received from one employee. I was spoken to very disrespectfully and it completely made me uncomfortable the rest of the visit. I had one drink and had to leave. I have no other opinion about that visit or the business, but to be honest I don't think I would come back. read more

Convert coffee shop becomes a brewery style eatery. The beer selection was fire but the quality of the food was so so. There was insufficient waitstaff for the amount of customers which caused long wait times on placing orders. The food took forever (1.5 hrs after placing the order) and arrived to our table cold with our fries and potatoes raw in the middle. The waitstaff brought the attention of this matter to their manager and we were told that this is the way the food comes. I noticed earlier when I went to the bathroom the staff was taking the food from the other tables back to the kitchen. I watched the manager examine the food and comment, yes that's under cooked. We just didn't eat the fries and potatoes and suffered through our cold meals. read more

I left a good review before but this is more based on their dog policy. They are very strict. There is outdoor/ patio space for dining, but they don't allow dogs still. If you plan to eat here, leave your dogs at home. I'm just disappointed because it was a fave spot. read more

The food is top notch! I don't drink however my buddies said the beer was amazing! The burrata salad, the flat breads and all.

Super chill spot to go on a date or with a group of friends. The staff was super nice and accommodating. When our party was getting bigger they let us transfer to a different communal table. I tried the flight, four for $8 - not too shabby! The place also offers wines and ciders by the can. Now onto the food, I was lurking around and gave in.. I got the fried catfish - lightly battered and perfectly cooked... I don't know what kind of sauce they had but man was is freaking delicious, seriously demolished the plate in 5 minutes or less. As for the burger, my friend ordered that and was super juicy and tasteful too. Cool spot to check out! read more

Food was good, a bit on the pricey side to be honest. My experience was pretty lame given the long wait time between sitting down and being served. For context we sat and ordered a drink ($4 bucks for a Diet Coke, refills are charged) and then we waited, and waited, the table next to us actually had time to return an entire entire and get another completely new one delivered before the waiter returned to take our order. It was not full or even particularly busy as far as I could tell. When the waiter did arrive they acknowledged the long wait time by saying "you all must be ready to order" which we were, because we had waited probably about 20-30 minutes for the waiter to return. I had chili, one of the specials on Sundays. It was good, portion size is smaller but it is "burnt end chili" so I imagine they don't want to give you much a large size...that said, I'd recommend you have some free time before coming for a visit. We also had deviled eggs, which are expensive for two eggs cut in half ($10). I don't know that I'll be rushing back but my experience may be unique. read more

Fun. Really casual. Loud, lots of kids and happy dads. A lot of effort into the food and everything we've had has been really good. A nice beer selection, with three pale ale choices, plus a nice variety of other choices. Locally owned, and the charming owner is often around to greet customers. Been there four times now, and looking forward to the next. read more

no dogs allowed, even outdoors. they turned us away at the door. they didn't even ask if they were service dogs, which they were. horrible.

A cold brew and good food is what you are looking for then this is the place. It does get a little busy so be patient and wait because you will enjoy the drinks, food and ambiance. If you're not an IPA fan but want to try something close to it then let me introduce you to its cousin the Sweet Baby Haze. Sweet Baby Haze is a Hazy Pale Ale that will satisfy your IPA craving. Juicy peach and citrus smooth with a tangy sweet hoppy finish. It's a very good and refreshing beer that's not heavy on the hops and smooth at every drink. Andouille Sausage - Lexington red slaw, Carolina mustard BBQ sauce that had some type of kick. It was a good sausage. Smoked Jidori Chicken Drumettes - better know as chicken wings. They come with pickled vegetables, spicy general TSO and Carolina Mustard BBQ. These also come with a very tasty blue cheese dressing. Good Wings! Braised Southern Greens Collards & Kales - Looked like Brussel sprouts with onions, garlic and applewood smoked bacon. Charred very nicely and that bacon adds a nice salty flavor to the greens. These are very well executed and you should try them. Hopsaint Burger - The burger was supposed to be cooked medium but came out a little on the well side. Some thousand island spread on the bun with cheddar cheese, butter lettuce, sliced tomato, red onions with some torn potatoes on the side. Of course I had to add some bacon and a fried egg. The fried egg was a little too fried because it had no runny yolk to it. The torn potatoes was something new for me but were great. A nice crisp outer layer with a soft middle. Nice play on fries but Much better. The next time I hope the meat is medium as ordered to add that juiciness at every bite. Overall it was a very good burger. Stop by, have a burger and a beer and call it a day. Stay hungry my friends. read more

Was in the area for a birthday party on Sunday morning and chose this place based on the reviews. Yelp didn't disappoint. First off, they have a veriety of their own beers here, my favorite being the Baby Haze. It was a seasonable juicy IPA with just the right balance of flavors. It really compliments the southern food without being too overpowering while still holding its own. Too bad they didn't have any of their own double hazy IPAs (they did have Mikellar and Modern times as guest taps). For the food we had: Duck Gumbo: This dish was TOPS. It's the best gumbo in Southern California. The gumbo had an excellent smoky flavor, the duck was tender, and it was just packed with flavor. I could've probably eaten 3 more bowls. It was that good. For reference, my current favorite gumbo is from La Revolucion in New Orleans...so I'm no stranger to gumbos. Tri tip sandwich: This was a solid sandwich. The meat was good and the au jus was a nice touch. Don't miss this place. 5 stars. read more

Quite literally some of the best food in all of the South Bay. My family and I absolutely love it here. The team that works the kitchen, bar, and tables are truly phenomenal people. They are so friendly and welcoming, and so hard working. A waitress remembered us after we'd been away for a number of months -- and here's me being terrible and I can't even remember her name!! My mouth is also watering thinking about the dishes there. The brisket is next level. The pizzas are genuinely so insanely good. And we now order HopSaint beers when we're out at other bars. Yes, we are SAD dogs are not allowed here, but when we need a date night on our own, we'll happily hit this place up while our fur baby stays home. read more

We came here looking for a dinner spot near Redondo Union HS. We luckily beat the crowd and were seated right away (around 5pm). By the time we left the restaurant was full and there were several parties waiting. The seating in the middle may be shared with other parties, but we were seated at one of the side tables. Although a brewery only one in our party ordered a beer. Our group started with one of their specials, a flatbread with pesto and burrito. It was delicious. Everyone enjoyed their food, and the only negative was that the pulled pork flatbread didn't have enough pork. There were many other items we wanted to try so we will visit the area again. read more

Provender: this is a great spot to grab a few drinks or a bite to eat. They offer a great selection of craft beer and two of them are award winners. I tried the Kolsch, which is a pilsner. It was light and refreshing. I also ordered the tri tip sandwich, which was also good. Prices: beers are about $7 and entrees range. Parking: ample parking. The brewery is in a long shopping plaza, so you should be able to find a spot relatively easily. People: fun for all, but the later it gets it becomes more adult oriented. You know, drinkers of beer and such. Perks: staff were great and attentive. You should ask them for their daily specials. They also have the game on, so this is a great place for sports fans. read more

Hopsaint Brewery is one of the better breweries in South Bay, which has many to choose from. With a large, clean, & comfortable dining room, excellent beer, and delicious food, I'd recommend it to anyone, families, couples, or singles. The vibe is laid back and has a restaurant vs. tasting room/bar feel. Parking and the entrance are off 190th street. After you enter, the bar is right in front of you, and the large dining room is on the left. The bar has a wooden top without a rail, a white tile bar face, and a box footrest. The barstools have a wooden seat and back support. Large HDTVs, growler shelves, and taps line the back bar. Hopsaint's beer selection is extensive, and their beers are great. Though all their lower-IBU beers are incredible, if I could only order two, it would be Zuper Saazer Pils and OB Blonde Kenobi. But aside from the stout and nitro, which I simply don't like, I'd drank any of them. As if their beers weren't enough, Hopsaint put equal time into their kitchen and menu. The food is absolutely delicious. My favorite is the BBQ, but again, they do everything well. Finally, the service is fast and friendly. Wish I lived closer to Hopsaint. I intend to visit anytime I land at LAX, or I'm visiting friends in South Bay. Hopsaint offers a comfortable atmosphere with great beers and food. read more

Love, love, love this place. Great place for good beers, good food and good time with your crew. It's a happening place. I've brought my family & friends here on separate occasions. IMHO, i think it's a great place to meet up with your adult buddies or coworkers. However, the food is great for the whole family including kids. They do get busy at night so go early. Let's start with the food. I always have to have the Hopsaint Killer Shrimp every time I visit. It's a flavor burst in your mouth. All the ingredients just work and leaves you wanting more. I'd just be satisfied just eating that... dipping the bread into the creamy tomato bisque. Mmm... Not to say other items on menu does not compete. If you got a sizable group or appetite, I'd recommend ordering the Hop Saint BBQ plate or smoked brisket. It's a good shareable plate. Note: It's while supplies last for that day so go early or cross your fingers. Their carnitas are great as well. Their flatbread items are superb. I wasn't particularly a fan of their chicken dishes. That's just me. Sides are great especially the brussel sprouts one & pulled pork poutine. Mac n' cheese is popular amongst our kids. All in all, they all good shareable plates. I'd recommend ordering as many as you'd like and try them all. Everyone has different palates, so you be the judge! :) Now da beers... da Bears (see what I did there... SNL). Anyways, I've had the Kolsch Enough, Hopsaint IPA, and Pure Intention. All great but my fave is Pure Intention and would recommend trying that one. I believe they have beer samplers if you are undecided and want to try different ones. I'd definitely would go back for the killer shrimp & try other items on the menu. ;) In conclusion, if you want good beer and good food, HopSaint is your go-to. If you want to watch sports and drink beers with your buddies, HopSaint. If you looking for a happening bar to impress your date, HopSaints. If she/he is not impressed, dump them. They don't deserve you or HopSaint's patronage. ;) Enjoy. Msg me here on Yelp for any questions. I'd be happy to help. read more

OK I had to update my review because I just came by again for date night. My boyfriend and I really love this place. We sat by the bar before the table was ready to grab a drink. The hostess was very sweet and accommodating since the wait was 25 mins. It took much shorter to get seated. This time, we ordered the Killer Shrimp, Chorizo Flatbread and the Tri Dip Sandwich. EVERYTHING was so freaking delicious. Killer Shrimp: We understand the hype and why everyone orders this. You need to try it. I love the bread that comes with it. It's perfectly oiled, salted, and warmed. It goes so well with the super rich sauce. I thought the sauce would be a lot thicker but still, it was amazing. There are 5 pieces of shrimp (surprised that it came with that many!). Chorizo Flatbread: This was delicious but not as delicious as the shrimp or the sandwich. I really loved the sauce and the cilantro! Tri Dip Sandwich: I honestly thought that the tri tip would be very tough/chewy. It was surprisingly SOFT and the dip was amazing. I do wish they would give more dip because it was so nice to dip the torn potatoes into. But may just ask for more if you need! read more
