Very long wait for food. Got a patty melt and it was very bland and boring. The sauteed onions were delicious but the whole sandwich was not so great. Blended alcohol drinks are not so good here. Gives of as a veterans bar vibe. Indoor decor is sad and boring.

Great neighborhood bar! Fun place. HUGE party/banquet room for special events. Family owned and you feel it (that’s a good thing). Joy and Michelle are really fun and always welcoming. The service is top notch. The food you ask??! SO yum. Huge portions at reasonable prices. The Hoopers Burger is one of my faves. Oh, and the beer is ice cold!

The friendliest bar on the West side of Elgin! Great people and great food! Best gyros on the west side..

Good food, comfortable atmosphere, friendly staff. The only down side is the selection of food could be a little better. I had the steak which was tasty and NOT too salty. My wife had the chicken kabobs which were a little dry but tasty. Above average bar food. I will return.

The atmosphere is of a great local little neighborhood bar and grill, we love it. We've been coming here now for about 11 years. The sandwiches are great and I love the chopped salad. We've had a party also in their back room and the food and service was awesome.

A very good signature burger made exactly to order with housemade chips and cold beer is a perfect lunch. A nice list of other items from soup and salad to ribs all at reasonable prices. Our server was extremely nice, efficient and professional. I also liked the hard rock background music.

Kind of dirty and run down but not any more so than most other bars in this area. The bar keep was very humorous and was a real 'Joy' to be around. Overall a good place to hang after work for mostly affordable drinks. Onion rings are real onions and the fried mushrooms are pretty good too!

Bartender Joy very friendly. Good portions on food. Great atmosphere and music.

This place makes you feel like family!! We have been gone for 5 years, came back and we were welcomed with open arms! ♥️

I had hair in my food. They did take it back and make me a new plate. But the waitress basically said oh well we all have hair hair falls out.

The Olympian Gyro was a feast fit for Zeus. Excellent food. Throwback music and speedy and attentive service. I highly recommend to the various locals, or, like myself, the road weary traveller staying at one of the local hotels down the road.

The food is always Good. And the Bartenders are very nice

Attended a baby shower over the weekend there very nice food was decent

I’ve been coming here more consistently lately for 2 reasons, the GREAT food at a super fair price and Joy. She is an amazing individual at handling her job as a server and a bartender. Even at it’s busiest point she seems to handle everything with ease while still being outgoing and nice to everyone. And don’t get me started on the fresh cut and freshly made Fried chicken. Never pre-made, made per order! It’s worth the slight wait! Thank you Hooper’s and continue to keep up the impressive work. I am now hooked on Hooper’s!!!!

Great bar burgers and the bar tender /waitress was on point

Service is quick, accurate and so super friendly. Food is excellent. Service is even better. Family owned. Definstely the Best bar in the area. I totally recommend.

Friends, Good Food and COLD Beer!!!

Staff is friendly and prompt. Of the 4-5 times Ive visited there was a younger female patron who appeared to be a regular as she went person to person complaining loudly about what I figured was a failed relationship and family life with her parents and kin. The f- bomb was dropped through slurred but quite loud rants. This must be a reoccurring event as most she spoke to seemed unconcerned and gave very little attention. Not good for business! Causes an uneasy feeling. She clearly needs less alcohol and therapy not ridicule, ffr Friends t

First time in 4 yrs. Burger was not quite the same. Fish was tasty. We stopped going there because of all the wore out booths with duct tape on the seats and the help hanging around outside on break . Service was fast but food took a bit longer than expected. Waitress was very polite. We live 35 miles away. Don't know when we will stop in again.

Great party room at affordable costs. Service by professionals. Bar staff 1st class. Pizza's were very good. Our whole group had a memorable fun evening. Thank you Hopper's !
