Hop Grind - Peabody

Mid, I wish I could do 2.5/5 star this place because that's what it was today. I got the honky think chicken and the chicken itself was crispy and tasteful, however the slaw is random as hell and It didn't come with any of the sauce that I ordered, could've been a game changer for me. Soggy bun like soggy soggy, it was foul maybe if it was toasted it would be better or if it was bread that would be cool. But it was just the top of two sesame buns idk if that's a thing but it was not it. I would've put the chicken in the buns if they weren't so soggy and the slaw was just odd, not my thing. On a good note the Sid of max was good nice and baked on top and creamy in the middle couldn't really go wrong there.

Really delicious food—the burgers are extremely tender and delicious, and the chicken is excellent. Good shakes as well. The only downside is you need to prepare to wait a bit—we were one of the few tables in there in the evening and it still took almost 50 mins to get our food after ordering. They are clearly putting care into the cooking, for what it’s worth, just be aware and build in a little extra time on your visit.

We stumbled on Hop Grind by accident and we are so thankful we did! After a long day on the water on a whale watch, my family was hungry! We saw the Northshore Mall from the highway and stopped not knowing what we were going to eat. We have a young son and a picky dad in the group so we needed something that would satisfy everyone. Hop Grind DID NOT disappoint! From the cool retro decor, to the comfy couches, to the relaxed atmosphere, to the attentive waitress and manager, everything was great! I ordered the Rooster Smac, hubby got the Smokeshow Mac, my daughter got the Karate Pig, and our son got the regular buttermilk chicken tenders. The chicken in both my sandwich and my son's tenders were juicy and tender. The pork burger in the karate pig was delicious too. My husband's pulled pork mac cheese was HUGE and unbelievably fantastic too! We are sad that Hop Grind is 2 hours away from us or we would be regulars!

Little place near a mall...was a little suspicious about the food but was pleasantly surprised. Beer, burger with Mac and cheese was superb. Friendly little place! YUM

My friend and I were having a bad day so we went to hop grind for some food (which is delicious by the way I'd recommend the smokehouse Mac n Cheese) and our server Sav was amazing! Totally changed our moods around and we had a great time! Thanks Sav!
