The Hopper Kitchen & Market

Review - 2026-02-18 - The Hopper Kitchen and Market For our ROMEO (Retired Old Men Eating Out) Club adventure today we decided to return to a restaurant that we visited back in September of 2024. That was prior to our writing of detailed reviews so we figured that we should head on back and check them out again. We parked in the downtown parking garage and walked the half block to the restaurant, arriving a few minutes before they were scheduled to be open, expecting to have to wait outside in the chilly, single-digit temperature. We were pleasantly surprised to find the door unlocked and that they were already serving customers. One interesting thing about all the downtown Helena restaurants is that they are located in vintage buildings which means that they are forced to fit into what

Generous portions, bowl was very fresh and had great flavor. Only negative was the steak was extremely chewy - I hope they improve the quality or way they prepare their beef. Good selection of canned drinks and beers on tap.

I love this local restaurant. I’ve been here multiple times and the food is always delicious. I love the PB&J Thai Wings and the BLT. Both have such a great flavor combination. I love their fries and tots with their scratch made ranch. I’ve tried a few bowls, which contained the freshest ingredients and were beautifully made. The cheesesteak is a new favorite of mine. The combination of local meat, beer cheese from the brewery next door, and that Parm crusted bread from the local Grateful Bread Bakery is to die for. You can’t go wrong with any item on the menu here.

It used to be my favorite place but now it’s so disappointing! Recently every time I order there is less and less everything and the quality is not the same either. Yesterday I got Rueben sandwich and it looked and tasted horrible. Couldn’t even taste any sauerkraut or sauce cause it was barely anything. Last year sandwich was twice as a big and delicious. Same goes for Ribeye. Just skimping on everything!

Oooo the fries and tots are SO tasty and seasoned so well! I enjoyed the unique BLT - it's not like any BLT I've ever had. The wings are very good and paired with fries could be a meal! My dinner guest enjoyed the Brazil bowl. There is some outdoor seating but the indoors was nice too. Great art on the walls.
