I have now been to The Hop Yard twice, and the first time is the reason this review is two stars. I will say this, the smoked brisket, ribs and half chicken are excellent, but our second visit will probably be our last. We went on a Saturday evening/night and were seated fairly promptly. After being seated we sat and sat for about 20 minutes, I preceeded to go back to the counter to enquire who our server was, she had not even approached our table. I sat back down for another 10 to 15 minutes while sitting and waiting, two tables that were seated next to and after us received service. As we were leaving I spoke to a woman, presumably a manager as she was not in a uniform, about the lack of attention or even recognition. She offered an apology only. She did not seem to be concerned about patrons leaving dissatisfied and did not even attempt to try and make anything better. I was not trying to get free food or anything similar but coming from a service related industry myself was shocked by her lack of concern about a customer leaving dissatisfied and in all likelihood not returning and most likely not sending business their way.

Went last night, food was great but server got removed from our table by the manager for some unknown reason. Manager was yelling at the employee and sent her home early. The girl apologized to us and said theyd replace her with a new server asap, manager didnt assign anyone until almost 20 minutes later. The new server was great as well but after the managers outburst all employees looked on edge and nervous to do anything out of fear of potentially getting yelled at. To put it simply it looks like the employees and the food are great and very kind, but the manager/owner is very uptight and has serious temperament issues. (Tried posting this on Facebooks reviews and it got deleted) At least google is permanent hopefully

THE MALE MANAGER WITH THE EAR PIERCINGS IS AN EMBARRASSMENT TO THIS RESTAURANT !!!! $3 IPAs on Thursdays is an awesome thing to go to. Went in and also ordered a flatbread ($5) but the bartender accidentally gave me a BBQ when I had asked for a Buffalo flatbread. It is fine. I understand we all make mistakes. The bartender was apologetic and tried to talk to the manager to make me a new one but the manager made it such a HARD TIME for me when I had only ate 1/4 of my meal. He told me I should have notified them when I took the first bite. I hope $5 is worth the amount to keep in their pockets because I will refuse to go in there again.

Food is hit or miss. 1st time we were there received our food in 5 minutes but it was ice cold. 2nd time food was slightly above average. There should be more seasoning on the food prior to arriving at the table. Also, I cant understand why they have such big plates and then give you small portions!! Business 101 sell your product, smaller plates will make the portions look larger.

Help stands at counter looking at you while you wait to be served for 25 minutes. Place had maybe 25 customers. Appetizer came out with dinners. Small sandwich came out in giant platter with a hand full of fries. Either shrink the platter or put more cheap fries on it to show value. Small beer list. Food quality was not bad just small. I hope they figure it out.

Clean stylish decor, GREAT tasting food for a fair price, and a good selection of brews! LOVED the basket of unique BBQ sauces!Conveniently located to a college campus. The food portions were good but looked smaller since they were served on an oversized bar tray instead of a small plate or basket. Overall, a great place to get a beer & hang with friends.

The wife and I arrived at 10pm to a light crowd. Seated immediately. Large tv selection. Wide variety of drinks and large selection of beer. I tried the smoked wings I was very satisfied. 6 differnt sauces, but i would suggest the garlic parm. WOW. Welcome to Middletown. Rockie the waiter was hands on very attentive

Setup is odd. You walk in to a sign asking to go to another area for seating but it doesnt tell you where... People were pretty friendly. Food was reason for 1 star. Brisket was dry and had odd taste. They had no normal plain BBQ sauces. The ones they did offer seemed like watered down. Most likely will not return.

It was okay. Just another typical burger place. Staff sucked though. You would think that coming in with my three year old that i would want a kids menu. Had to ask four times for one, didnt get it anyways, so I ordered a bowl of mac & cheese off of the adult menu for him. At least Middletown is trying.

They had a decent selection of beer. A lot of IPAs and stuff if you are into that. The food menu sounds great, but the food quality was just average. Cornbread muffins didnt taste like cornbread, the brisket on the flat bread was dry. Just some food improvements would make the place great.

You havent lived until youve had their smoked wings with homemade bourbon BBQ sauce. Smoked wings...just the best and the sauce was a bonus. I typically dont like horseradish at all, but even their homemade horseradish sauce was good (I think its called Alabama white).

Everything about this place is fantastic. The BBQ is the best in the area and the atmosphere is modern with a historic touch. Large selection of craft beers on tap ando in bottles. The bartender Joe is from Philly and takes great care of the patrons and is always upbeat!

First time in. Have heard a lot of great things. Bartender Joe was excellent customer service. Very attentive and offered samples of what I inquired about. The BBQ was top notch and might be the best in the area. Quick service! Thanks for a great meal!

Not a very good atmosphere, food is small portions and mediocre and service is horrible. Recommend going 3 blocks down the street to the Tattered Flag, where you can get great quality food, great service and awesome drinks!

The food was only so-so period we were in a large group and when it arrived it was cold. The meat wasnt very tasty and was a little dry period I dont drink but other seem to be enjoying the drink selection.

Get the brisket. Some of best Ive ever had outside of Texas. They offer it on a flatbread pizza which is fantastic. They offer a good draft selection which rotate quite a few handles all the time.

Pretty good. But as a sports bar it should obviously have the Sunday Ticket, which it does not (as of Fall 2016). Food is consistent and the service is usually really good.

Been quite a few times. I absolutely would suggest them for great food and fantastic service. Also I would highly suggest the three meat platter its a great deal.
