Excellent service and very good food. Enjoyed a beer and messy burger here with kids. They don’t have toys for the kids but the area is open enough for them to explore but closed so little ones don’t run off.

Outstanding neighborhood beer garden, we are local and it’s the best place to meet friends and family after a hard days work or play. It’s dog and kid friendly with super nice staff Today we are toasting Ron G the nice fellow there with his dad who bought us a round for letting them get in line ahead of us so they could get on their way… thanks buddy and we will gladly pay ya back later!

I cannot believe I have overlooked this place for the last 5 years! The Hop Stop is nestled in the heart of Old Poway Village and just celebrated their milestone 5 year anniversary. I took the opportunity to visit recently and I’m so glad I did. I just love the indoor/outdoor vibe that is welcoming to dogs, groups, and private parties . I believe they feature live music on Saturdays. Such nice spacious environs to relax and enjoy their impressive selection of craft beers on tap. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner and she was so nice and hospitable. The menu here has a fantastic selection of pub grub culinary delights. I look forward to trying many of them.
For my inaugural visit I ordered the “Smashburger” and it was outstanding! Made with a smashed beef patty with jalapeno & red onion, topped with pickles, bacon, garlic aioli and American cheese on a soft, tasty brioche bun. While the jalapeno and red onion were difficult to discern, that garlic aioli really sang through. The bacon was abundant throughout and had a nice well-done crispness and satisfying chew. I chose Tots for the side, and they were excellent! Hot, crispy, and fried well done, just how I like them. I will be back soon to try more things on the menu as well as test drive some new beers I’ve never had before. Highly recommended.

Local restaurant with great food & beer on tap. We ordered the cheeseburger, roasted chicken sandwich, grilled cheese sandwich, dirty tots, and kid’s macaroni & cheese. All sandwiches came with a side of salad, tater tots, french fries or sweet potato fries. While all the food was good, our favorite was the dirty tots, which came nicely crunchy on a bed of their special creamy white Hop Stop sauce & topped with cheese, bacon & green onions. Definitely a good dish to share.

We ordered the west coast burger with tots and a single burger with no cheese in a lettuce wrap and tots. The burgers were good, however, the lettuce wrap still had the cheese even though we specifically asked for no cheese. Other than that the food was good and the outside seating area was very comfortable.

Can’t beat Monday night trivia at Hop Stop for delicious food (with happy hour specials) served up by a terrific staff! Bonus points for Liz with Live Prize Trivia who keeps us entertained with her excellent hosting skills and killer song clues!

We come here quite often. I like the outdoor area where kids can play. They also have an area for dogs to drink water. Their food and drinks are decent. I really like their chicken salad burrito and tater tots. We ordered something different this time and they were pretty good as well. Their food and service are consistent every time we go. We’ll be back soon.

The Hop Stop is such a fun spot! We go here all the time and bonus points for being dog friendly!!! We go for the cider but they have tons of fun beer and other options. Our fav food here is the Cali black bean burger with a side of sweet potato fries but our guilty pleasure is their tater tots. They’re so good! Don’t forget to order with a side of Hop Stop sauce!! We’ve gone to trivia on Mondays a few times which was a blast. Really great family-friendly, trendy local joint.
