Hops Burger - Winston-Salem

I just ordered takeout from here. I'd been once before and really liked it. But to get home and have my husband find not just a hair but a HAIRBALL in his food made us both pretty ill.

Hops Burger Bar. Where do I begin. Hops is the best burger in WSNC hands down. I ordered the Spicy Goat and it was incredible. For my side I had the buffalo fries and for my drink I had a Dos Equis beer. Everything was wonderful. I would have given Hops 5 stars but the ambiance was not my favorite. It was super crowded inside and you felt like you were on top of the people around you. It was also super loud and that made it hard to talk to the people at my table. Also parking is very limited so plan accordingly. Will be back to Hops very soon!

We visited the restaurant pre-pandemic since it was so close but we strictly do take-out now. The food is so good that it is always packed but once it is packed, the atmosphere is unbearable. The echo is so bad that I could not hear the person sitting across from me. I could not hear the server, so we had to point to the items on the menu. The burgers are amazing so we do order from there regularly but we cannot come back until the acoustics problem is fixed.

My favorite burger place! I love some goat cheese and pepper jelly and this place has a great spicy goat burger. Coupled with fried and their terrific honey mustard, an unbeatable menu. One down side is the wait time and booking. No reservation or online waitlist so you have to physically be there to place your name down.

I think it's well-documented how awesome the burgers are here, but their tuna is underrated. One of the best tuna sandwiches you can get in the triad. Great food, great atmosphere.
