If you're in Waconia, make sure to stop by Hopper's Bar & Grill, a gem located at 119 S Olive St. Known for its delicious hamburgers, this quaint establishment offers an inviting atmosphere where locals gather to enjoy hearty meals and friendly service.

Reviews suggest that Hopper’s is best appreciated with an open mind—this is, after all, a small town bar where the staff is busy yet attentive. Customers like Daniel Gavin emphasize the importance of enjoying the experience rather than seeking high-end service. The standout feature? The burgers. Madison Beck's husband declared his burger the best he’s ever had, a sentiment echoed by Travis Bjergum, who has made it his routine to enjoy lunch here every Friday.

The Bacon cheeseburger is a crowd pleaser, noted by Mariah Vessel for its juiciness, along with the generous portions of fries that Nathan Patrick Turner enjoyed. Hopper's also boasts great pricing, particularly their $8 burger-and-fries deal on Mondays, paired with cheap tap beers that make for an affordable yet satisfying outing.

Overall, Hopper's Bar & Grill is not just about the food; it's about the experience—a friendly, down-to-earth spot where you can savor a great meal with the warmth of small-town hospitality.

Reviews For Hopper's Bar & Grill

Keep in mind. You're going to a small town bar, that serves great food, and seldom has a staff member who isn't already helping a customer. If you're impatient and need "special attention" go to a chain restaurant. Otherwise sit down, get a nice beverage, and enjoy the atmosphere.

My husband and I went to dinner here last night and had an excellent server. Didn’t catch his name, but he was wearing a red bass pro hat. My husband said it was the best burger he’s ever had, and his whole life has been going out with family to try different burgers everywhere. Our server made a spot on drink recommendation for me, stayed on top of my husbands beers, and quickly got us our bill and settled up when we mentioned we needed to leave due to the tornado warnings. We will definitely be back!

Thought I had the best burger before i came here and then I got corrected! Impressed with everything! I now come here every Friday for lunch! Low prices, great food and great service! And the serving size will surprise you!

I came here with a friend a few weeks ago and we had a great time. I had the Bacon cheeseburger and added onion. It was amazing! The burger was very juicy. The onion rings were all right. The service was really great, they checked in as needed. I definitely recommend stopping here. And I plan to come here sometime in the future.

Got a really good Housemade burger and a very generous portion of fries. They have a deal on Monday nights where all burgers and fries are eight bucks. Nice small town bar atmosphere and very kind servers. Cheap tap beer too! I took my dad out and we had giant burgers, piles of fries, and craft beers and the bill still only came out to 27!

While out cruising on Labor Day, finally found them open after searching a few other spots. The service was quick, server was great, food was fresh and delicious. Great vibe of a local hangout. They knew people by name.

Very friendly and attentive bartenders. Bar is very clean and well maintained. We got the walleye basket and pretzel bits which came out nice and hot! Ice cold beers and overall a great bar to hangout and meet new friends!
