Hopdoddy Burger Bar

The food was great! The ordering system was not so great. I was 2^nd in line and had to wait a very long time. I was not a fan of that system. The fountain drink area was fun since they’re different products what you don’t expect to see– I like that they switched it up. Our server was the worst server I’d had in my whole life, I really hope they invest in some training for Mariana if they decide to keep her. She is completely clueless about everything and rarely finished a sentence; I’m embarrassed for her actually. Other than the weird ordering/​seating process and horrible server, I would recommend this place because the great food and cool atmosphere.

Horrible way to order and pay, burger was ok, guy plating food were wearing plastic gloves but adjusting his baseball hat, so that was gross, pop not great options for diabetics, and the manager was so annoying. The servers were nice and all were willing to help our table of 7,
45 mins from home, no need to return.
Update, we left cash for tips, but mysteriously ten dollars was added to my daughters bill, she drove all the way back for a refund, shouldn’t this be illegal, caution save your receipts and check your account!!!

The food here is great! I’m not sure I like the system of waiting in line to order/​sit-​down, but then still having to wait for the check at the end.
Almost all of what they offer are meaty burgers, but they do have one black bean patty option, or you could get a salad without the meat. Two options for kids: simple little burger or grilled cheese.
Don’t come here without ordering fries. And beers come in a nice cold goblet!

Burgers were good, garlic fries were addicting, oreo milkshake was not worth the price. Overall good food. Still, I felt the ordering process was unclear (all the way in the back of the restaurant) and someone had to tell us how to order: customers order, then sit, then pay; so it’s half fast-​food, half sit-​down style. Regardless, I highly enjoyed the atmosphere and the nearly 360 degree windows!

What a GREAT burger experience. The meat is ground right at the restaurant, the sauces are made from scratch. So many interesting flavors. The staff was helpful, location is tidy and the seating is comfy.
I had the classic with bacon and cheese… DELISH! We ordered an order of fries and truffle fries. The garlic sauce was amazing.
The beer selection is phenomenal. I ordered a Hefeweizen and was NOT disappointed. Overall a spectacular burger experience.

We had a mixed experience at this restaurant. You have to stand in a line to order your food and then they tell you what table to sit at. It’s the place to go if you want a fast food feel with high quality ingredients, but without the fast food checkout.
We were expecting to be wowed by the chocolate shake, but found it to be a big squeeze of Hershey’s syrup and vanilla soft serve ice cream. It was on the soupy side and overly sweet. The Parmesan truffle fries had a great seasoning, but were brown and either soggy or overly cooked.
I had the magic shroom, ordered medium-​rare. It was cooked to perfection and everything about it was exactly what I was hoping for. My boyfriend and daughter had classic burgers. The bottom bun was mushy and all the juices soaked through, causing it to leak everywhere. They ordered their burgers medium-​well and it was closer to medium-​rare. My daughter also said that she felt the tomato tasted sour.
People that want the experience of walking up to a counter to order something, should try this, but be prepared to calculate the tip before you leave. They don’t tell you your total until you’ve finished eating. The next time we’re in Scottsdale, we’ll be going to Lucky’s.

Great service, excellent burgers, and assortment of drinks.
We had the Buffalo Burger which was incredible. They used Franks hot sauce on it with blue cheese plus very fresh tomatoes. There fries were great too. You can order a large fry and it’ll feed three folks no problem.
Also noteworthy, you can mix up their Maine based soda drinks to create different flavors. Their staff can provide some recommendations on those.
Definitely worth visiting for a good burger if you’re a local or just visiting the area.

Hopdoddy drew me in for my first visit when they opened a while back because they offered a grass-​fed burger. On my most recent trip I learned they no longer serve that option, but they do still have a grass-​fed bison patty option.
As a burger bar, they definitely make delicious burgers. One of my favorite parts is the gluten-​free bun you can get. Frankly, I’d like to gobble up that alone with a big schmear of butter if I could. It’s like a biscuit almost.
Hopdoddy prides itself on using plenty of local ingredients which is great. The more local the better in my book.
I’d give the place five stars except the place is so dang noisy once tables start filling. I also think the process of standing in line to order and then going to sit seems out of place there. I like that at Chipotle and other places, but Hopdoddy seems like a place where we should be seated in a more traditional way.

Decided to try a new place for lunch while we were out and about. When we first came in there was no hostess and it was VERY confusing but one of the employees came up to us and I then asked how it all worked. She then said we can sit down at a table then we go order at the register then the server will bring our food to us and anything else we need and we will pay through them as well. Not sure I like this concept but oh well.
My boyfriend had the clasic burger with cheese and I had the Llano Poblano burger and we shared the truffle fries. The burgers were very tasty and so were the fries. The fries were big enough to share with 4 people!
The service was reallly good and food was very tasty as well so I’m sure we will be back again.

Not sure what all the hype is with Hopdoddy. I was not impressed. I arrived at 8pm on a Friday night to have dinner with some friends. They had already been seated and told me we had a waitress so I didn’t need to go up to the counter to order since we already had someone taking care of us.
I waited and waited for our waitress to come over — when she finally did, she barely took our drink order and was gone again. When she finally came back to take our food order, I ordered the Thunderbird chicken sandwich, and wanted it with no bun (aka on a lettuce wrap). One of my friends wanted the Bison burger with no bun… Seems pretty simple, right? Not so much apparently.
After about 30mins or so, our waitress FINALLY brought over our food… wrong, of course. She brought me my burger exactly the way it was on the menu — bun and all. On my friends order, she brought over the Bison burger… JUST THE MEAT, no toppings, nothing… with a piece of lettuce on the side. What?! I told her our order was wrong and she seemed to look at me like I was speaking a different language or from a different planet. As if she couldn’t comprehend what I was saying. At that point, my friend insisted to eat the piece of meat and measly piece of lettuce, and, because I was so hungry, I decided I’d just take the bun off myself, not have the kitchen remake it.
Our waitress ended up sending over someone from the kitchen to correct our order, as we were halfway through our meal. We both said we were fine at that point.
Then came the best part — our waitress dropped off our check… it was almost $ 40!!! Now I wasn’t expecting a free meal out of the whole ordeal, but was expecting SOMETHING since our orders were wrong and we didn’t make a big fuss about it, nor were the orders corrected. Again, not that this was my intention, but usually when your order is royally screwed up, they make it up to you somehow, or at least give you a discount for not getting what you ordered. Well, not Hopdoddy — no sir!
I was extremely disappointed in the service at Hopdoddy and will most likely not return. If I’m paying top dollar for a burger, I expect top notch service to go along with it. I don’t think my expectations are unrealistic.

I finally made my way to Scottsdale to try this place. This mini chain started in Texas and now we have 2 locations here in the Valley. The «Hop» part of their name stands for beer (they serve artisan craft beers) and «Doddy» is a Scottish cow. Their beef comes from humanely raised cows that aren’t given any hormones or antibiotics (according to their sign). They bake their own buns in house and cut their own potatoes for the fries. The restaurant itself is spacious and has a nice modern ambience to it. You basically order your food up front and they assign you a number and a table to sit at where someone waits on you. They have variety of special burger combinations to choose from topped with their own blend of «sassy» sauce. I ordered the Goodnight/​Good Cause Burger (a dollar is donated to Lone Star Paralysis) — an Angus Beef patty topped with caramelized onions, jalapeños and BBQ sauce. The burger is hot off the grill and really good. They also have great shakes here. Some of their combinations include Caramel & Sea Salt, Red Velvet and Nutella & Chocolate Pretzel. From a price standpoint, they compare with Fives Guys and Shake Shack. I definitely put them above Shake Shack for the better burger at $ 8. If you come during social hour (3:30pm — 6), they knock $ 2 off the burger and the fries are $ 5. My only negatives is that our food came out separately and I really didn’t see the need for servers when you order everything up front. They are basically there to refill your drinks. But overall I give this place a thumbs up and will stop in again another time.

My tummy always has a good time here! Food is so good, I’ve probably had 6 different burgers and they’re all so delish. Definitely a solid spot, and you always leave so satisfied!

Tried out this new burger bar this past weekend and it was a pretty good experience overall. The restaurant is in a shopping center and easy to find. Parking is right in the front and super convenient. We walked in and were a bit confused but then realized that we had to order and then the servers would bring the food to our table. I ordered the la bandita and my friend ordered the classic burger. The la bandita was delicious! It was a black bean burger with corn, goat cheese and avocado. It was honestly super healthy and very filling with a good mix of flavors. My friend’s classic burger looked pretty good too. We also ordered truffle fries to share (which was so good & truffly) and each of us got a beer which was served in a nice, big and cold goblet.
We decided to sit outside and the nice part about the restaurant is that they bring everything to you and all you have to do is order. The other beneficial part is that you can keep ordering beer or food, keep your tab open and pay your bill at the end. The atmosphere was pretty chill and we were sitting and enjoying the weather with our beer after our filling meal.
Overall, good food, service and experience. I am looking forward to coming back to try some of their other burgers.

I was a little concerned at first ad it seemed much too swanky for me. There was a huge lunch line, so this place was obviously fantastic. Everything has fancy catchy names and they don’t serve regular soda. They offer their own versions made with real sugar instead of high fructose stuff. I am OK with regular industry soda, but it tasted like a mix between pepsi and RC cola. Worked great for me. Their frys were super fancy too with sprinkling of green stuff, some kind of herb. They were perfect and came out as an appetizer. This is perfect for me as I usually eat most of my fries before my burger. The hamburgers seemed small, but totally satisfied my appetite. The flavor was AMAZING, and worth the $ 35 price for 2.

Here with my wife as usual. She said she was «hangry» and we had never been here so we decide to hop on down.
Place looks very clean and new even though it has been here for 3.5 years. It was Sunday so lightly full. Ilene orders the ahi tune burger — AMAZING!
The goodnight burger my wife said was fantastic. The Parmesan fries — AMAZING! and the Nutella pretzel shake — AMAZING!
This is our new goto place. In the past 2 weeks we have been literally 6 times. We absolutely love this place!
The service was great. ⁵⁄₅. Overall ⁵⁄₅!

I’ve only been here once and I was pleased. For me… it wasn’t anything extraordinary. I like the vibe/​décor. I’m always a fan of open and airy. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. My food was good, but since their specialty IS burgers I expected a little bit more of a «wow» factor.
Alas, I would definitely go back!

Cool little place to grab a burger. We came (party of two) during a Sunday afternoon and there was no wait when we arrived. Shortly after however, a relatively large line started to form.
The beer selection is really good for a burger joint and they offer healthy options with their fountain drinks.
They offer a variety of burgers, which all sounded delicious on the menu. When you first order, the cashier will warn you of the temperature in which the burgers come (med-​rare to med). Unfortunately, our Buffalo Bill and El Diablo burgers came pretty well done. The saving grace of the meal? Fries. Nom. The freshly cut fries with truffle aioli were absolutely divine. They even offer a chipotle ketchup out of a dispenser that compliments the fries pretty well.
Decent experience overall and worth a try if you are craving a burger. Definitely get the fries — you will not regret it.

{*Soooooo*} this was my second time here. First time was on a random Wednesday the very first night I moved to town and today (Sunday). Both times the restaurant was full which is a great sign!
Ok ok get to the important stuff, I get it! Jeeze!
Tonight’s order was the Buffalo Bill (which had blue cheese, sassy sauce, hot sauce and bacon). It was delicious! It was suppose to come out medium-​rare and it came out well done but it was still tasty and delicious. It had the perfect amount of the Good kind of blue cheese too!!!
My hubs ordered the classic burger and added bacon and cheddar. His was cooked perfectly which made me a teensy bit jealous…
We shared fries…**YUUUUUMMMM** I love the soda selection with the real cane brand or whatever it’s called and oh the Vanilla milkshake …**droooooool**
But really, this place is delicious. Zero complaints. Awesome staff, great atmosphere, yummy and quick to table food.
*cheers*

I really enjoyed thier Magic shroom burger. I bookmarked this place almost two years ago and forgot about it until the day I finally came in.
I read a few before arriving here about ordering system being a quite confusing and it was in fact confusing for the first timer. I quickly understood the table number system but after I ordered, I wasn’t sure if I needed to bring condiment to my table or not.
Server brought our burgers first and they were really good, but I had to slow down on eating as no sign of fries. I had to ask more than twice before they finally brought fries, by then I finished eating my hamburger, and was ready to leave.
Manager stopped by if there is anything else we needed, by then I didn’t need anything else. Only if he came before fries arrived…
Too bad I didn’t enjoy service as much as I enjoyed my food. I may come back for more good food without expecting much of service.

Hopdoddy is a great hang out place. The bar is great… Happy hour is the place to be with $ 4 margarita and wines.
The burgers are the best. The bun is so soft and moist… 100% angus beef! Hell yeah… You can substitute any meat with turkey.
This is my new hang out burger spot with the friends on a Friday night!!!

De mis lugares de hamburguesas favorito. La malteada de pretzel con nutela excelente, la hamburguesa con blue cheese y salsa bufalo muy buena, asi como la Terlingua. Un lugar muy recomendado para visitar.
El lugar esta muy agradable. Los precios razonables, en general un muy buen lugar para comer una hamburguesa.
