"This is an easy to miss place in the middle of nowhere in the UP, but they make one of the best sandwiches I've ever had (smoked and spiced)! If you happen to be in the area, I highly recommend stopping by and trying that sandwich. The soft serve ice cream was disappointing, but very reasonably priced, and the workers seemed pretty miserable (though the food came out fairly fast)"

"Very good bbq pork sandwich! Its a must try and the hint of smokiness in the entirety of what they combine to make their uniqeuness, is a hit, and out of this world. I've had BBQ in a lot of parts of the world, and I'm happy to have this gem of a restaurant a half mile away from where I live. Kudos to the Hop!"

"Came for ice cream on the third with 11 of us. Our mom and Aunt had worked here when it was the A &W back in the day. Happy to see it open in a new form. We enjoyed everything except the peanut butter ice cream was not good. It tasted unmixed, grainy. We enjoyed everything else so just wanted to give you the heads up as you just opened. Thank you for the treats!"

"Great burgers. But you may want to get the cole slaw on the side because it makes the food soggy really quick. I still need to try the sandwiches that I read in all these reviews and also try the hot dog. The ice cream is the best I ever had. Better than Dairy Queen and Culvers."

"We had wonderful hotdogs and loved the tater tots accompanying them. Good courteous, fast service. Ice cream good with generous portions. We sat at clean picnic tables that would have been improved with shade. Good value."
