Reviews for Hops Downtown Grill in Kalispell, MT
Chose this spot for our last vacation dinner while here in Kalispell and it couldn?t have been any better. We gorged ourselves... on the poutine, elk lasagna, trout, and warmed bread and it was all amazing. Great service, great food, great playlist. Wouldrecommend to anyone local or touring and will absolutely visit when in Montana again. Read more
We were lucky tonight, and fate took my foodie buddy and I here on a busy Friday night to try and get in for bar or dining room... seating. The hostess was extremely helpful and impressed us with our seating option (arguably one of the best tables in thedining room). Everything about the service, from start to finish, was spot on with delivery and timing. Thank you to Michelleand Rachel and the others who participated in our experience, especially the kitchen staff. We had fun and will be back for thedelicious and professionally prepared menu. This place might be one of the last best old school Kalispell Dining experiences. Thank you ~ A+ Read more
We had dinner for the first time at Hops on Friday night of Memorial Day weekend 2022. After reading Hops is a smaller (and we... discovered very personal!) restaurant that doesn't take reservations, we arrived at their opening time of 5pm and were seatedpromptly; by 5:45, there was only a single table for two available. We tourists from Oklahoma, we love to try new things, so twoof our group of four ordered the tri-fecta Hunter's Trio meal of sample/slider size burgers of Bison, Elk and Yak. One of thesetrios was mine. I've never eaten any of the three before but, my bucket list says I need to try new things. ???? My first bitewas the bison and it squirted red across my plate and onto my white sweatshirt. Now, I am someone who normally orders all foodwell-done, zero pink, no shine: but I did not cut and run after the first bite because it was DELICIOUS! I had not actuallybitten into the red center and I finished eating all around the edges. It was probably my favorite of the three and if I am ableto return, I'll be sure to order well-done. The elk burger was delicious, no pink and 100% consumed. The meat of the yak burgerwas good, but Hops makes the slider with a jalapeno sauce that wasn't to my taste. I scraped the sauce off and enjoyed the meat.I ordered my dinner with fries and no one in our group has ever seen fries cut the way these were: thicker cut flat curls thatwere wonderfully flavored and cooked. Had I wanted something else, they had a lengthy list of sides I could have chosen. Thethird and fourth meals in our group were the evening's specials: Mahi-mahi ($30) and a 16 oz steak ($40). The lady who orderedthe mahi-mahi was still raving about how good it was the following day; the steak was good, though not as tender as we wouldlike to have seen. Our waitress deserved every penny of our generous tip: she was superb not only in serving us and helping uswith choices but also in answering our questions about the Kalispell area.

Put my name down on a 20 minute waiting list, they texted within 10 minutes with our table. This spot was small but had a nice... feel/decor. Our server was Eileen and she was really sweet! Fast service and kept our drinks refilled. The food was really good!The calamari sauce was the best I've ever had! Really high quality cheese on the lasagna, loved it! A little different than whatwe're used to but we enjoyed it very much. 4 stars because some of the protein in my meal was on the colder side. Liked thisrestaurant very much though! Read more
My only regret regarding this place is not finding it earlier into my vacation. Had the trio slider burgers, and all were... prepared excellently. Elk is definitely the best meat, and yak was prepared the best. The fries are seasoned well. The beerselection is nice too. They stayed open past their closing time to serve, and all service was top quality. Not a single negativething to say. I?d suggest it to anyone, and I?d make sure to go back if I?m ever in town again. Read more
Amazing experience! Delicious meatloaf! We arrived at 6pm on a Thursday. There was a 20 minute wait and they took our phone... number and texted us when a table was available. Our server was Amy, she was fantastic! We started with a large caesar saladwhich was delicious and the warm bread that came with the best garlic spread on earth. We then ordered our meals, I chose themeatloaf based off other positive reviews and it was excellent, every bite had a different flavor. My husband had the garlicAlfredo with chicken, it was very good but we both agreed the meatloaf was better. Best meatloaf we?ve ever tasted! Read more
