Gluten-Free at Hops n Drops
Restaurant
Dude are you kidding me? The deluxe burger on a gluten free bun absolutely S L A P P E D. 10/10. I’ve had a hard time finding a good burgie in Tri-Cities. This is it. The tots were decent enough, I’m not sure if the fries are gluten free though. DAT BURGER THO…..
(Note: I did not verify anything with the server however I did not have any reaction)
The food tasted good. I had the chicken sandwich with GF bun, no bacon and a side salad. There are a lot of choices on the GF menu. I had a very small intestinal reaction which could be due to cross contact or some other reason. I would go back and give it another chance if I were in the area. The GF menu warns against the chips and other food fried in their fryer since it is not GF.
Was looking for a place to have a late dinner after long flight. Good gf options for bar food. I had the mushroom burger on gf bun. Not bad with a side salad. Waiter made sure kitchen knew I had celiacs.
Not that impressed. While they did offer a gluten-free bun for a rather high up charge, they don’t have a dedicated fryer and didn’t have any gluten reduced or gluten-free beer to offer. Didn’t have any GI issues with the burger, which I had with lettuce instead of a GF bun, but I was not impressed with the lack of options.
Mediocre food with little flavor and the atmosphere is incredibly loud. Couldn't wait to leave! The staff is friendly though.
Hops n drops has one of the best GF burgers we've ever had. Their menu has a lot of GF options too.
Very understanding about being gluten free! There is a whole menu online with gluten free options which was helpful before ordering. There is no certified frier and there is still risk for cross-contamination. However, the hostess was very adamant that I make sure to advocate for myself and let the server know that I’m gluten free, she later checked in to make sure I had said something! Overall, fun place and really great food and drinks!
Always a great experience. They have a separate GF menu. Burger with GF bun is my go to, with a side of fruit.
I ate a salad off the gluten free menu today and got sick - likely cross contamination.
I have eaten here several times without issues. The food is very good.
They have a separate gluten free menu making it easy to see what the safest choices are. Great place to grab a burger and watch sports!
My server was gluten free too! She assured me they had dedicated counter space for GF items. Sauce is gluten free, that was nice. Fries are not. I ordered a bacon hamburger with salad and it was tasty. No reactions.
They have a separate gluten free menu with many options! GF buns are available. My server was great. She immediately noticed that I had the gluten free menu and assured me that I would be taken care of. She was knowledgeable and I felt good about my experience. Burger was good!
This is a great place to stop if you have kids. The restaurant has a dedicated GF menu, and our server was prepared to clarify specific modifications to my meal--I also can't have dairy or too much fatty food (gallbladder bladder issues).
There's also a covered playground across a field near the restaurant's parking lot.
They have a gluten free menu and ask as you're ordering if it's a gluten allergy I assume for extra measures. The food was really good and my daughter loved the gf bun. Definitely will go again.
I have other issues with this place (capsicum/spicy for me) so I'll only speak to my celiac experience - which was great. My celiac husband gets the Western burger on a delicious gf buns. I first got the smoked pork rib tips, but they were too spicy so I got the steak street tacos instead (both of those are on their happy hour menu 2-6pm!). And they serve Pepsi! Plus for me. Anyways, neither of us got sick either time we went. Fryer isn't safe, so sub fries/tots for salad or fruit.
Lots of choices on their gf menu from burgers to street tacos and salads. They do not have a dedicated fryer so no chips or fries. The gf bun was delicious. Everything was fresh and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable.
They do have a gluten free menu available. Make sure to tell them you are gluten free allergy or ask for manager to make sure. Burgers are great and come with either GF bun or lettuce wrap. I also like the street tacos. Fryer is shared though so no chips or fries etc but the salad isn't terrible. They also offer fresh fruit. Usually at least one or 2 ciders available also.
Fast and friendly. Staff were concerned that I enjoy the experience. I had a grilled chicken on gf bun. Delicious.😋
One of my favorite restaurants! They have a separate GF menu, and the staff is very knowledgeable. I’ve never once had an issue here, and will definitely be coming back soon!
They have a gluten free menu available but make sure you let them know you’re GF still
I visited with a group Wednesday night who nearly all ordered burgers, so I went with the steak fajita salad to be safe. Our server knew about Celiac and mentioned their kitchen had a food allergy process in place and they'd be extra careful since she was marking it as "gluten allergy". When our food arrived, they announced my plate as the gluten-free fajita salad, a great sign, and better still, the salad was tasty and I had no reaction afterward. I'll go back to try a burger sometime.
They have an extensive gluten free menu. However, the staff were clueless about Celiacs and cross contamination.
I had to ask very specific question and didn’t feel comfortable about their answers. I settled in a simple salad and the server took my order then started talking about the great pita bread that comes with it! After explaining that this is not gluten free, a manager came out and apologized.
The salad came and tasted average. When I got home, I could tell I was glutened. I was very sick the rest of the evening.
I have been here several times and never gotten sick. They take great care when I tell them I have celiac disease.
I have eaten here a few times and the food is tasty and I have never had a reaction.
The staff is knowledgeable about items containing gluten & precautions taken to prevent cross contamination. We had a lot of options & our food and drinks were delicious. Unfortunately the fryers are not gluten free, so my husband (celiac) couldn’t eat the tater tots or fries.
I’ve always had a good experience here and have never gotten sick. I always let them know how important it is that the cook knows I’m gluten free. The GF buns for the burgers are good.
They have a dedicated Gluten Free menu with a wide variety of choices. I had a GF taco salad and it was delicious. I have celiac disease and they took special care with my food to keep it clean.
Very knowledgeable staff; the person who brought the food out to me made sure to tell me what precautions were taken with me meal. I usually have a side salad or fruit as my side (fries are an option but the menu indicates that they do not have a dedicated fryer so cross contact is possible). My only downside is that when ordering from here through UberEats/doordash/etc. there is no option to substitute a gluten free bun even though it’s an option at the restaurant
Steak taco.
Very informed staff and a separate gluten-free menu
Was impressed with the clarifying questions the waitress asked. Plenty of good options on the menu. Person who delivered food stated it was gluten free and kitchen changed gloves when preparing.
Large GF menu, however the friers are shared so most of the options are burgers or sandwiches on lettuce with fruit on the side. I had the Street Tacos, they were not great and I ended up getting sick.
I sat in the bar. 1 cider and 1 seltzer option. Both good. The seltzer was a San Juan seltzer. I let my server know I am celiac. She got me a full GF menu. Menu included 3 starters, 7 salads, 3 sandwiches (gf bun or lettuce wrapped),9 burgers, and 3 entrees. No fries offered but fruit or salad. I assume there is no dedicated fryer. Full bar with plenty of GF options. Serving breakfast on the weekends 8-11am.
9 TVs throughout. Good for sports. I was in for lunch and noticed lots of kids and families here. I sat in the bar which is open and well lit. Clean, friendly, and tasty. Bartender (Natalie) was very friendly. I also noticed she keeps it tight and right in her work area. Will come back for sure!
Ordered the green salad, told the waiter no gluten, because I have Celiacs (which he seemed to understand), but my salad came with three big chunks of breading buried underneath, one of which I ate. And this was on a slow night. I told the staff, and they felt awful. The manager apparently supervised the kitchen staff while they safely remade my salad for me to bring home.
Gluten free menu. Food identified as “allergy” when ordered. Manager brings it out BEFORE all other orders with an explanation of how they kept it safe for me while being put together. (Glove change, cleaned work space, etc) I ate there 3 times this week. The Avocado Chicken Salad. Excellent!
This place was awesome for gluten free! They have a separate menu and take all the necessary precautions. The waitress even clarified the exact modifications needed to make my food safe. Will definitely be back.
The only thing I could eat was a BOILED chicken breast. Kind fo ruined the night.
Great food, gf buns are great - not crumbly or dry. Extensive menu choices!
My son loved the GF burger. He had no issues
We always go here for dinner. They have a great menu, and the staff knows about gluten allergies.
The burgers are really good, however if you're celiac or very sensitive, don't be fooled by their "gluten free" menu. Their tots, chips and other items are fried in the same oil as gluten items, so they are not gluten free.
That said, the burger with gluten free bun was delicious, and they prepared it especially for me to ensure it was gluten free, hence the 4 stars.
Excellent for people who are gluten-intolerant, but limited choices for Celiac sufferers. The staff was up front about possible cross-contamination with tots and fries, so I knew to avoid those. Their gluten free bun for the burgers is pretty good. If I get a burger craving I come here and have a side of fruit with the burger.
This place is awesome! Went with my celiac son and the manager and staff went out if their way to help us with the menu. And the food was great! Highly recommend.
