The Hops Spot Clayton

The restaurant is a cool place. Has a beautiful garden that includes a small fish filled pond. I had the fish and chips and the fish was delicious. The fries not so much, they were old at 12:00 p.m. the pierogis were some of the best I’ve had. The server was nice however the person that delivered my son’s chicken tenders spilled them on the table and didn’t really seem to care. Overall it was an ok experience however it probably won’t visit again.

We sat outside at The Hop Spot. They have lots of outdoor seating. We ordered the Buffalo cauliflower (delicious), classic poutine (delicious), duck wings in the Thai chili lime sauce (so awesome we ordered a second order), fried green tomatoes (delicious), a burger (very tasty), a spinach salad (yummy) and fish n chips (the fish tasted like it had been frozen, thawed, refrozen, thawed and then cooked). We love to order lots of appetizers and share them. The service was attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back but will skip the fish n chips.

Absolutely love coming here every year when we do our family trip. They are so family friendly and have a great menu and wide NYS beer selection beside other great East Coast beers. We brought our 5 year old this year and hung out in the bar area listening to live music. We got to dance and even play with chalk while enjoying the atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend again. They have a "girlfriend" in not hungry fry side... Perfect for your fry loving kids

The poutine was really good and our server was super nice. Unfortunately the burgers were dry, under seasoned and overcooked. The BBQ sauce was good though. They have gluten free buns for the burgers also which was good for me but I probably won't get a burger again. **Edit: I'm a liar. I tried the burger again. I got the slow burn and it was amazing so I changed my review from 3 to 5 stars. The burger was cooked perfectly. My dad got the buffalo chicken lettuce wrap and loved it too. The beer and wines we got were excellent, the fries were amazing. Also had the gluten free brownie sundae. Can't tell it's gluten free. I would definitely have the burger and sundae again.

This is a nice place to go in Clayton amidst the shops and waterfront of the St Lawrence River. I really enjoyed sitting outside here and just taking in the day. My wife likes the burgers here and wanted me to try them. I ordered the Beer Cheese and Bacon Burger. My bad, I should have requested Medium Rare, for me it was overcooked. The pretzel bun was good and it has pretzel cheese along with homemade beer mustard. This was a big sandwich and very sloppy! Have napkins on hand. You will not go away hungry. As for the French fries, well, they are soft and mushy. I normally don't use ketchup on my fries preferring the saltiness. Not salty, just mushy. Unfortunately this is one of those places that doesn't have a ketchup bottle on the table. They serve it in one of those tiny 1/
