Loved the menu options! I'm not a burger person, but I got the Thunderbird chicken sandwich and it was delicious. They've got a nice selection of mixed drinks and beer, and I loved the green chili queso. I thought this place was packed when we got there, but when we left the line out the door was even longer! Despite how busy they were, the line did move at a fairly good pace. And you walk by the bar so you can order a drink while you're waiting in line. To continue with what was good about this place, after we were seated with our food, our server came around frequently to refill drinks and such. Also, being as I was pregnant and couldn't indulge in one of the delicious-looking cocktails, I indulged in a Raspberry White Chocolate shake... mmm.
The "cons" I had are more "FYI" as they don't reflect poorly on the restaurant itself. It's more of a "know your venue" type of thing. Tip #1: This place is not the best for large groups, especially during busy times (a fact they even warn you about on their website). It's just not set up for it. We had a group of 8 of us, and did actually manage to get tables next to each other, but that was pretty lucky and it was still hard to have a conversation with anyone other than those at your immediate table (the tables don't push together so each table is spaced apart from the others). Tip #2: This place is not toddler-friendly. Or even really kid-friendly. For several reasons. First, you have to stand in line to order (which can be a long line if they're busy). Never fun to stand in a narrow, crowded line with a toddler. Second, they have no kids menu. Not that your kids can't eat off the adult menu, but the burgers are a little pricey to get one just for your kid. Come prepared to share, I guess. And third, there's no real seating for kids. Tables are high up, and not set up for either high chairs or booster seats. Possibly the tables outside could work with a high chair, if they even have them (I didn't ask, since there was no point with our indoor tables. I mean, those tables were tall!)
Again, I want to re-iterate that those things are not "bad" things! I mean, they were unfortunate for me and my large party with toddlers, but that's our fault for not picking a more family-friendly restaurant, and not Hopdoddy's fault. If you're a couple with a young baby, or a family with older children, great! Bring your kiddos! But if you've got a large group or small children, be forewarned.
