The Hoppy Gnome

This place is solid! Nice atmosphere, VERY brewery focused, with some decent food. The mocktails were awesome, and our server did a little thing with the lemon that was great. The food being served on metal platters with the room being cold made the food get cold quicker than usual but that’s the only complaint really! I would recommend this place for a quick lunch and drink while in Ft Wayne, or maybe a lunch pie with some friends.

We are from Oklahoma and just here for a business trip and we had to try this place. It was so good! 🤤 I got the wake me up burger and let me just say that was the BEST BURGER I’ve ever had. My husband got some tacos and queso and he said they were amazing. 😍 thank y’all so much for some delicious food and great staff!

I've dined at Hoppy Gnome many times and it is alway great. I recently used their online ordering system and highly recommend it for anyone wanting a delivery or pick-up option. The process is so easy to use! I love to be able to add or delete items accordingly. I ordered the Steak Frites and it was honestly one of the best steaks I've ever had. Cooked to perfection! The Burger is also fantastic. When you think of Hoppy Gnome, you usually have Tacos in mind, but the Burgers and Steak are top notch and are great options on their varied menu.

I had given a previously bad rating due to an entrée my fiance and I both picked out . Once my review was seen the GM had taken it to his own responsibility to make sure he fixed our previous bad visit. I will say that this visit was just ad great as our others. He was absolutely great with our service and our food was phenomenal. We had a not so good week and this food was the pick me up we needed for our week. We are always going to be going back to hoppy gnome they care about their customers and you can definitely tell.

Made a reservation on NYE and loved it! Service was amazing. I wish I could remember his name to give him a shout out! He knew his stuff and offered us lots of great recommendations since this was our first time here. I got an espresso martini and LOVED it! Better than most I had. Our table of 3 all got different tacos to try! They have quite the options. I will say the tacos lacked in flavor just a bit, but we will definitely be going back!

Brunch was great. They missed our table and we had to ask for service but the waitress and manager (Evan) was really apologetic and the service was fantastic.

I initially only planned to go to the brewery to try a flight of their beers, but the brewery happened to be closed. The staff was friendly, however, and pointed out that I could still try their brews at the bar in the Hoppy Gnome. It was a nice, bright space and I was able to sit right down. Admittedly, it was probably a slower time, but the staff was very helpful and welcoming, and I’m glad I got to try what they’re brewing. The beers were well made and had no off notes. The food menu looked inviting, but I didn’t get anything during my visit. This definitely seems like a nice place for brunch or to meet up with friends. Perhaps I’ll stop by again next time I’m in Fort Wayne.
