The Hop Stop 14055 Midland Road, Poway, CA 92064

"When I first came to this place a year ago, the food was decent. The menu has changed quite a bit. We went last night & all of it was not good. My daughter had the mac & cheese & she didn’t like it, my husband & I both tasted it, yep pretty horrible. The wings & nachos were soggy. My friend ordered the steak nachos, all it had was sour cream, guacamole, steak & carmelized onions? The weirdest nachos ever, maybe they forget the cheese? The chips were soggy, just all around horrible. The kids didn’t really care for the cheese pizza either. My husband did not like his turkey burger-super dry. I hated my salad with shrimp that was boiled? So bad. And so overpriced. However, we really enjoyed the play area for the kids, the atmosphere & the service so those are the reasons why I’m not giving this place 1 star. Please go back to the old menu or get better food! Or better cooks! Out of 8 people the only food anyone enjoyed was the chicken strips!"

"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."

"Great food choices and great beer selection. No liquor from what I saw. The staff was very friendly and the heating lamps were perfect for that temperature change"

"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."

"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."
