It seems that you can find some pretty good food in a few bars around Utah (probably to draw in the Mormon crowd, but hey, whatever works!) and Hoppers is one of the good places. They set you up with free mini loafs of a kind of sourdough bread and some kind of garlic(ish) butter spread to use with it, so be careful, or you'll fill up on the bread before getting to the actual meal! For those that love beer, they have a $2.50 a pint deal on Tuesday nights, otherwise Coke (or water) are your fare for the evening. But lets see how this eatery went this time, shall we?
Allan: So, Josh what'd you get today?
Josh: As you can see it is partly gone garlic fries and a hamburger.
Allan: How is it man?
Josh: It's really good, but I really don't want to eat these big chunks of garlic, but they look good. But the fries themselves are really good; and the burger is really tasty; the bun's really soft.
Allan: It looks like it's a homemade bun--almost.
Josh: It's probably a homemade bun.
Allan: Anything else you wanted to add? Or did you want to rate it?
Josh: 4 out of 5 tacos
Kira
Allan: We are live with Taco Tuesday, what'd you get today?
Kira: I got theTurkey Dip.
Allan: The Turkey Dip, okay, how is it?
Kira: It's really good. So it's like a french dip, but instead of roast beef, it's turkey. So I like it, it's really good.
Allan: Alright, is there anything else that stands out? Or do you wanna rate it?
Kira: Nothing crazy that stands out, but I'd probably give it a 4 out of 5.
Curtis
Allan: Curtis here. Curtis, what'd you get?
Curtis: I got Fish and Chips.
Allan: How is everything?
Curtis: it's really good. She told me that the halibut gets restocked everyday so I was really excited about that. So I got that and the halibut was really good, it was really soft.
Allan: How would you rate your food?
Curtis: I'd probably give it 3 and a half.
Curtis: I'd probably give it 3 and a half.
Allan: Matt Baugh, here live with Taco Tuesday Reviews. What'd you get here today sir?
Matt: I got the Super Chicken Sandwich, and it really was great. It has turkey, ham on a chicken breast with cheddar cheese and monterey cheese. The sandwich was really good, I got the fried green beans instead of the fries, which I am regretting because they're not what I thought they were. This is usually not what they look like actually.
Allan: What do they usually look like?
Matt: They're usually breaded and they're delicious and with tons of flavor. This is a bit more of the healthy option I think. They're not bad, they're not nearly as good as the fries that everyone is raving about. Because of that I'm gonna give this 3 out of 5 tacos. The sandwich was good.
Jolene
Allan: Jolene! Taco Tuesday Reviews, what'd you get here today?
Jolene: So I got the Fish Tacos with the halibut, Curtis asked how fresh it was and they said they replace it daily, so I really like that. I also like that there was a salmon and cob option, normally you don't get a choice, so I liked that. But it was really good! The halibut is cooked really well, it's not dry, the seasoning they put on it is like a cajun seasoning. The sauce is good, it's fresh and yummy, and I just sampled a cheese fry and it was also awesome.
Allan: Well, alright, what would you rate your experience here tonight?
Jolene: I'm gonna do a solid 4 tacos.
Marc
Allan: Okay, Marc here. What'd you get?
Marc: I got the same as Kira (-The Turkey Dip Sandwich-), but with parmesan garlic fries.
Allan: How was it?
Marc: It was good. I wish it was beef instead of turkey, because [it came with] beef au jus and [the sandwich is turkey] which tasted a little weird, but it's still good. I give it 3 and a half.
Anthony
Allan: Your live now with Taco Tuesday Reviews.
Anthony: I got the Garlic Burger, it was a on long bun, came with a side of fries, pickle. It tasted a little burnt.
Allan: The meat did? Or the bun did?
Anthony: The patty did.
Allan: Was there anything that stood out?
Anthony: It was really garlicky, part of my fear.
Allan: Is that a good thing?
Anthony: No.
Allan: So if you like garlic, it's a great burger. How would you rate your meal tonight?
Anthony: I would do 2 and a half tacos. Other people would really love this burger, but it wasn't for me.
Kevin
Allan: Oh, Kevin! How are you doing?
Kevin: Yes Allan?
Allan: What'd you get here tonight?
Kevin: I got the... I think it's called the Super Chicken Sandwich.
Allan: I think Matt got the same thing.
Kevin: What'd he say about it?
Allan: He said he really liked it a lot, but he was disappointed that he got the green beans instead of the fries.
Kevin: I'm a little bit disappointed I got the salad instead of the fries. The sandwich was really good--it didn't have mayo or anything on it so I put some ranch [on it]. I think mayo would have been better, so they should think about putting some sort of sauce on it ('cause it's a sandwich for heavens sakes). I'll give it 4 tacos. I would have given it more, but that salad was pretty awful.
Julia
Allan: Hi, what'd you get here tonight?
Julia: I got the side salad and Clam Chowder.
Allan: Alright, how was your--I guess clam chowder since a side salad seems to be a generality [in restaurants].
Julia: Well I got the raspberry vinaigrette dressing, which was really good. But that might be a little bit different, I don't know a lot of places that do that. I haven't really had much of my clam chowder yet, so.... I'll tell you how it is at the end of the meal.
Allan: Did you take a bite of it?
Julia: I did, but I needed to add more stuff to it.
Allan: Take a bite now.
Julia: Okay, but don't record me eating.
Allan: Just take a bite, we already started recording.
Julia: Oh man..... {takes a bite}. That was pretty good.
Allan: Are you just saying that?
Julia: No, it's pretty good.
Allan: Okay, what would you rate it?
Julia: Um, like 3 and a half tacos...hmmmm, maybe 4
Allan: 4?
Julia: Yeah I like it.
Miranda
Allan: Miranda is here with me for Taco Tuesday Reviews. Miranda, what'd you get?
Miranda: I got the Chicken and Chips meal, but smothered with buffalo [sauce]. And Fried Pickles as an appetizer. Fried Pickles were amazing--the bread was amazing and my food was amazing.
Allan: Alright then, is there anything that stood out? Or you wanna just rate it?
Miranda: 4 [tacos].
Colby and Kayrene
Allan: Here with Kayrene and Colby tonight. Guys, what'd you both kind of devour?
Kayrene: Chicken and Chips with barbecue sauce.
Allan: Alright, what'd you both think?
Kayrene: It was really good, and Colby was pigging out.
Allan: Anything that stood out to you guys?
Colby: I liked to dip the fries in my clam chowder, but other than that, the fries were pretty good, they were Kayrene's. I also at some of her chicken, saving some of it for lunch because it was that good. It was decent, they couldn't really screw up anything with chicken and fries. I'll give it 3 and a half
Allan: Is that what Kayrene--
Kayrene: Yes.
Allan
Curtis: Allan, what'd you get?
Allan: I got the Chicken Caprese Sandwich.
Curtis: How was it my man?
Allan: It was really good, like it has the Italian-ey, kind of herbs and bread taste to it. I tasted like it was an artisan bread that they used for it, A [Foccacia] bread--super delicious. Bread was a little harder than I thought it would be, but overall I thought it was pretty good, especially with these battered fries.
Curtis: So what would you rate tonight's meal?
Allan: I'd probably give it a 4 taco rating.
Despite the few okayish reviews about the food tonight, it says something about a place if you can get quite a few 4 taco ratings of your food from 6 out of 13 people. Some of the highlight dishes were the:
-Chicken Caprese Sandwich.
-The Super Chicken Sandwich.
And
-The Clam Chowder.
If anything, check out what our group thought of these dishes. One thing that wasn't recorded or rated were the cheese fries that Curtis and Matt Baugh ordered. It came with two sides of bacon bits (real bacon) and two sides of fry sauce and the plate was scraped clean.
Josh and Kira also got the Toasted Cheese Bruschetta for an appetizer, and it was an interesting twist on an Italian-like cheesy bread. The word on the street (or at least from Miranda and Anthony) is that Hoppers' battered fried pickles are the bomb-diggity, so it might be worth some time to investigate that as well.
This time around the group average for Hoppers comes to 3 and a half tacos:
