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. We did try a few bowls this last time. They contained fresh ingredients and were beautifully made. I wish my goat cheese salad had a dressing with it, and the Brazilian bowl felt slightly under seasoned.

Dan Bay brings fresh, creative dishes with a thoughtful, humble, and snazzy atmosphere to Helena…finally! We are lucky to have The Hopper. Elevating local food sources with a twist.

I think the food overall here is probably pretty good based on the looks of food at other tables. I ordered the steak bowl and it was ok (good ingredients, but a little bland), however, the steak itself was almost impossible to chew. I can’t remember the last time I had a cut of beef this chewy. I basically had to swallow bites whole. So that was disappointing. They have the right idea, just maybe work on execution. The vibe inside was really nice and the service was great!

Very good little spot for lunch. Got there around 12:30 on a Sunday and there was already a 40 minute wait.

We hit the jackpot with this local gem! The food is absolutely delicious and the staff was so kind. Go get yourself the 10 n 2 Burg and the Loaded Chicken verde fries, they were AMAZING! I’m sure everything on the menu is equally as good.

The Hopper is a great place to go for a casual meal in Helena. They serve up delicious food made with local ingredients, and their service is always friendly and attentive. I had the grass fed caprese burger, which was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. The atmosphere is bright and airy, and there are tables inside and outside. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal in Helena.

Refreshingly delicious American restaurant in the heart of downtown Helena. This place serves up a variety of sandwiches and bowls. The prices are fair and the quality is very high. The staff were friendly and service was quick. The restaurant was fairly busy when we visited for lunch midweek, but we still found space to sit. The restaurant is modern and clean. It was fun to sit facing the pedestrian mall and people watch.

I love the Hopper! I SO appreciate their dedication to local and high quality food at this spot. Montana growers (and eaters) appreciate it – its local and so good! AND they compost. Thanks for closing the loop yall – these guys are the real deal.
