First off, parking is fabulous, it's a shared parking with several other businesses. I used to live in NC and as walked in, I felt like I stepped into a Carolina BBQ joint! The decor is very rustic Americana. I loved all the signs! They were playing college football on their large TV's and one TV in the back was playing children cartoons on the TV. We were greeted by a very friendly lady with a beautiful smile. Excellent customer service! We ordered the family pack which comes with Brisket, chicken and pork. 6 jalapeño cornbread muffins and 2 sides we chose tots and smokey mac & cheese. We also ordered a side bowl of brisket chili. For our sauce we chose Flaming hot and Carolina Gold. Oh that Carolina Gold sauce is so delicious Everything was delicious! So juicy and melt in your mouth delicious I highly recommend trying all three meats! The brisket chili was delicious! I poured the brisket chili over my tots and omg! So delicious. The portions are huge! I will be having BBQ all weekend! I will be back! Highly recommend!

We got the beef brisket and two sides meal. And the Mac and cheese with sausage. The meat is SO tasty! The portion is right on the money for the food truck! The baked beans are genuinely tasty Tasty and the Mac and cheese is rich. Might be too rich for some. The sausage included with mine had also phenomenal flavor. With the right amount of saltiness. I'd be curious to see if portions Change at the restaurant, though to be honest, when food is THIS good, it's better to control your portions! Great visit and look Forward to someday stopping by the restaurant.

Our drinks came out at a perfect pace, and our server was attentive without being overbearing. They kept the waters coming, which is such a small thing but makes a big difference when you're enjoying a meal. The atmosphere here is warm, comfortable, and welcoming. The decor is beautiful and inviting, and you can tell a lot of thought went into creating a place where people want to sit and stay awhile. Even the restrooms were spotless, which says a lot about the care put into the whole experience. Everyone in our group had a great meal and a great time. We're so glad we stopped in and would definitely recommend Hops on the Hill to anyone looking for good food, great service, and a relaxing atmosphere!

Next best was the bread - it was perfectly soft inside with a crispy crust. Between how oily the dish was and my nose running from the increased spice as I continued eating, I wouldn't return for this dish. The eggs weren't noticeable in appearance or taste- I had to search for them. The "creamy grits" were creamy, but the black pepper taste was STRONG. Definitely ordered the side for the "creamy" factor, hoping when the server said harissa in the eggs would have a mild spice, that the grits would calm my mouth. The amount of pepper made this unsuccessful. But if you like black pepper a lot then you'll enjoy them. My son enjoyed the beignet's. The server was also the host and he was kind. It was easy to get his attention when needed. I didn't see anyone with a grin on their face after taking bites of their food. I looked around quite a bit out of curiosity. So for ambiance, kind and prompt service, and the possibilities of the menu I gave it 4 stars. We only tried the few things I mentioned. I did also appreciate the bottle of water ready on every table. Note that there is no kids menu and it's mostly table seating. So maybe try on your own or with other adults, and leave the kids at home?

It did not disappoint! I tried the Norma sandwich which was delicious. The tofu skin patty was unlike any other faux chicken I've had and so good! And because I'm always on the search for great vegan mac and cheese I had that as my side. Absolutely delicious! Very creamy. Portions are large here so I brought some of the mac home and am looking forward to having it for lunch tomorrow. My husband tried the dip sandwich with a side of the mashed potatoes and gravy and ate every last bit. He loved it. It's a very cute cafe on the corner with friendly staff. I witnessed a man in need come in and take advantage of the program they have where you can buy a meal for a hungry person to come in in the future and have a free meal. That's a lovely service to the community. So glad I was able to finally patronize this great vegan business! I'll try to come back soon!
