Best Fun Restaurants in Hopkins

Our server was Mandy. She was AMAZING!! She made sure we had an excellent time, and gave amazing service! We do not remember seeing it posted in the menu that the tip would be included on the bill. If it was there, it should be more visible, as to not be a surprise when the bill comes. That is not good business, nor good for your staff. Mandi’s tip would have been at least 25% (because she was so wonderful!) had it not been 18% on our bill. You really did her a disservice. The FLAT plates are beautiful, yet NOT something that food with any juice/liquid should be placed upon! When our meals were served, steak juice went all over me as the food runner placed the plate upon our table. Mandy was extremely apologetic and offered everything she could/within her power to make it right. It was ok, because she was NOT at fault… the owners were… poor decision to use flat plates!!!! The manager offered dry cleaning, but our flight home was the next day, so no dry cleaning could be done here. We were served free dessert. All-in-all, we had a wonderful time!! ALL of the staff was very friendly, and welcoming. We travel here often for both business and pleasure, and will be back! Our dinner guest was with Hilton management, and she was so impressed, that she will be bringing her clients to this location, as often as she can. We will most definitely ask for Mandy!

A great dinner out on the Paw-tio. And though no dog in town, it was fun to puppy watch, watch the CFB playoff game, and have the fireplace close by to keep us extra cozy. Keith, our server. Was both fun and engaging. He let us know what was good and great, the specials for the day, and did not steer us wr9ng. Best boneless wings in town - more chicken than bread, and more flavor than saucing. The Pear mocktail was a delight. And my wife's standard honey pecan salad, chicken grilled not fried, was filling and tasty. Our son loved his chicken tenders and veggies, but kept his eye on the prize - Scoo y Snacks! Great meal, great local spot, great service!

First timers. We wanted to bring our 10-month-old sheltie, Mac, for a nice New Year's lunch. The heated outdoor "paw-tio" is absolutely in the rotation now. We had spicy bloody marys, tamale cakes, french dip, and a full rack of baby back ribs. ALL of this is better than any of our regular taverny-type places. But be warned... I'm a very big eater and had to take home a half rack of the ribs. They are, um, plentiful and OH MY GOD do they fall off the bone. Mac had a small beef marrow bone and was obsessed with it. Augie was also a very nice dude who got the 25% treatment for being so nice. Catch you on the flippity-flip, Duke'S.

Wonderful food, service and ambiance! Always above expectations!

Pawtio was a little chilly compared to normal but butter than outside! Everything was great!
