My husband is a creature of habit and got the street tacos which she gets every single time he goes. I got the shrimp and grits and it was absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend. We brought our three month old daughter with us and we were provided with a sling for her car seat and we had a lovely dining experience.

Consistently good. I ate there for lunch and enjoyed the mixed grill. The chicken was fantastic and it also comes with a 4 oz filet and crab cake. I wish this pairing was available for dinner!

Always a great experience at Hoppy Gnome! Food was great and the service was friendly. And patient -- we stayed at our table longer than usual, a relaxed holiday catch-up. One of our favorites!

Perfect meal. We chose this spot because of hearing problems. The back room is spaced out well and has enough sound absorbing materials on the walls, floor, and table that it's perfect.

All the dishes we ordered were fantastic. Shrimp and grits, herb crusted pork loin, tuna, jambalaya, and a veggie burger. Their bread is delicious with a crispy herb crust and soft, hot middle. The sweet potato casserole tastes like home made. We went December 23 and they had an impressive Santa greeting guests. Great atmosphere in the old gas building.
