Best Fun Restaurants in Hopkins

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!

Wow, what a pleasant surprise. We loved our first visit here. Lively but not too loud, great appetizers and good mains. I wasn’t impressed by the wine list of white ( by the glass overwhelmingly all sav blanc) but Caymus by the glass was good to see. Dessert just order the chocolate. Nice additions with hand cloths and aperitifs. Nice wait staff. We will be back.

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