    Brazil Bowl - must try!
    Nina M.

    WOW just wow! Driving through on a road trip and was crazy something fresh with protein and soooooo happy we stumbled upon this location. The Hopper is located in a main part of the town with live music and surrounding restaurants. We grabbed a Brazil bowl and a large serving of tots. The Brazil bowl was mind blowingly delicious and so filling! Steak, rice, corn, beans, and other fresh ingredients that made it flavorful and filling. The tots? Lord the portion size was massive! More than enough for two people and they come with amazing two sauces. They have a good amount of seating inside and many beverage options.

    This is a must try adorable restaurant tucked within the beautiful Walking Mall! We were warmly welcomed at the counter by Chelsi who was so helpful & kind!! I asked her for a couple recommendations & decided to go with the Crispy Goat Cheese Salad...I can honestly say it was the BEST salad I've ever had!! My husband ordered the Ribeye Cheesesteak sandwich with tater tots & he ate every bite! It was so juicy & flavorful!! Chelsi not only took our order but delivered our food & often checked in on how we were doing. She was amazing!! In our opinion the best little lunch spot in Helena!!

    A delicious experience! We came here for lunch as a group of 6 of us. We were welcomed warmly! Great sandwich options. Lots of drink options. Definitely a spot to come back to again and again.

    The staff were very friendly and attentive. You order at the cashier and get a table number. Our cashier walked me through all the gluten free options that could be done for items on the menu and was so kind to share what would and would not have cross contamination. The food itself was really flavorful and I will for sure be on the lookout for the hot sauce! As we left we were thanked and told to come back again. Such a cute little diner to hit while at the Gulch!

    After 3 nights camping and eating backpacking food. All I wanted was a salad. This place popped up with great reviews and tons of picture of the steak bowl. We decided to come on down to grab our own. The steak bowl was very delicious, probably the best ever. I wish I lived closer so I didn't have to try to recreate it at home. We ordered the large tots, which was enough to feed like 6 people. Would def be back if ever in the area.

    Five stars for the Reuben with beets and the french fries; also, friendly service. This place was busy when I went there.

I wish I was more hungry when I walked in cause I really wanted to try their "Holy Cow" style meals but could only go with the standard serving size. I ended up going with the chicken sandwich. The chicken was fried perfectly on the outside and the inside was tender and had good flavor. The fries here were very good and I would've kept ordering more of those if I had any more room. The food here is really great. It feels like the best diner food imaginable in a setting that offers so much more. The restaurant reminded me of a bigger chain but with the hometown feel. Big but cozy and personable. Our server was great and always made sure our drinks were full the whole meal. I'll be sure to come back here the next time we visit Helena.

Once I saw it on the menu I had to get the GIGANTIC PRETZEL (GP). It was gigantic and it was a pretzel. Great crispy outside and soft warm perfectly cooked inside. Get it, you won't regret it. We all loved it and the queso and hot mustard were a great match. I had the wings, buffalo sauce, and it came with fries. Both were really good. So much food I only ate 4 wings and 1/2 the fries. GP still weighing heavy in my gullet! The Wife had the Classic Mac and Cheese - nice taste but Luke warm instead of hot. Should have sent back to warm up. Her choice. The Kid had the brisket sandwich and garlic parm fries. The sandwich was so big., she ate 1/2 and hardly touched her fries. The fries were delish, as I had to sample a couple for review purposes. The Friend had a Buffalo chicken salad and The Other Friend had enchiladas. Both enjoyed their meals and had leftovers as the servings are generous. Great Time. Great Food. Great Service. Go! Eat Very Well!! HAVE FUN!!!
