I had been looking for a biker friendly bar we could ride to on our romantic getaway and wow did this place really provide exactly what we needed.
We started with buffalo chicken dip. Although good nothing fancy. But the burger was to die for. We got the Chipotle Burger but the entire menu looked yummy.
The decor was cool and looked the live music would have been good too. We would have stayed but had already made plans.
If we visit again this we definitely be one of our stops.
Having moved here from Dallas, I was shocked that there were no patio bars, not facing the interstate....Great patio, great friends, and now they have a flat screen outside. The upside is that I live 3 blocks away and feel responsible for their increased revenue at happy hour. Good Stuff!!. FYI, the best music venue around.
Review Source:I was driving through here on my way to Dallas from DC and was very pleasantly surprised. Â
All in all, this place was awesome. Â If you happen to be visiting the town or driving through, this needs to be mandatory pit stop.
It is in a small town, when I arrived it looked like a ghost town early on a Sunday morning around 10:30am. Â After snapping a few pictures at the state line (Texas / Arkansas), we were hungry. Â
Luckily we stumbled onto this place which opens from 11am-11pm on Sundays, and the best part: Â $2 mimosas!! Â Yes, I was ecstatic too. Â
Mimosas aside, the food was really good also. Â I had the Denver omelette, all very well done. Â I also had some of their breakfast pizza, which was REALLY good. Â I'm from Chicago and have had my share of pizzas, but never a "breakfast" pizza. Â This pizza has egg, cheese, sausage, canadian bacon, tomato, and onion. Â All in a traditional pizza type crust. Â It may sound a little weird, but once you take that first bite, you'll be hooked. Â I especially loved that the crust had a pretzel like taste qualities, with a hint of salt and just enough crispiness. Â
Check it out, I look forward to other people's reviews.
In my opinion, this is my favorite place to come to just hang out and chill. It's not outrageously busy like Fat Jack's or Shooters. It is a pretty laid back place. Restored in Downtown Texarkana. The food is amazing, the staff is very friendly. This place stays very clean. Good bands. I'm not much into bars and such, but if I had to go somewhere, I would want to go here!
Review Source:This place is great. Â
The food is phenomenal, the beer selection is the best I've seen in Texarkana so far, the wait-staff is very good at their jobs. Â It's our favorite restaurant here. Â
On our second visit, the chef came out and spoke with us, because he remembered we'd been in the week before. Â Amazing.
The only reason Hopkins didnt get a perfect 5 star rating is...well..nothing is perfect. Â But do take the time to go to the "Hop" for a great burger, or a Hop Dog. Â If you want a good pizza pie, its hard to beat any of the hand-tossed pies on the menu. Â Wash it all down with a draft beer from the 34F taps and enjoy a pick-up game of "ring game" with a fellow Hopkinite. Â I will be back soon!
Review Source:After reading the other reviews here on Yelp, I skipped dinner at Chili's to find this place. And I'm glad I did.
First off, the decor is awesome, like a combination of old time domino parlor and a honky tonk. The doors were open because the weather was nice and cool, so I walked in, grabbed a table, and was quickly greeted by Samantha, my waitress.
She was informative and friendly, and kept coming by the table to see how I was doing and to shoot the shit a time or two. And her suggestion was dead on...for a guy who lives in a "burger town" I was skeptical about getting one in the sticks.
But this was one of the best burgers I've ever had. I think the bun was homemade, and the flavors surprised me. I couldn't believe the fantastic food that was coming out of this kitchen. And beers were only $2!!!
I meant to stay just for dinner, but the food, service, and prices made me stay throughout the night. Next time I'm in Texarkana, I'll be eating here!
I'll tell you what I like about this place. Â The ring-on-a-string game! Â It's right in the middle of the bar and it inconveniences everyone else in the place, but it sure is fun. Â You basically have a ring tied to the ceiling and you try to swing it onto a hook on the wall. Â Sounds stupid, but it's awesome.
Review Source:If you've ever been to Texarakana you know its no metropolis! They have all kinds of chain places to choose from and be miserable, but we stumbled on this little gem in the downtown. I wish we had gone the first night we saw it instead of outback... but you live and learn.
Smoking indoors seems to be old fashioned popular in Texarkana... at least it wasn't so crowded that it spoiled the food, but it is noticible. So if your a smoker, this is your place, if your not... you should concider the issue.
On to the beer... nice cold, plenty on tab to be served up. The food was so surprising for a "bar"... it was outstanding. I'm still dreaming about their "hot italian" panini... why can't I get that were I live in Dallas! The Jalapeno app is a must do, the queso was good as well. Everything we all ordered was just ridiculously yummy... curl your toes yummy.
The wait staff were so damn on top of it my head was spinning and they sit down to take your order (if theirs room). I personally like that, cozy, how you doin feel... you may not.
There wasn't any live music when we went during the week, but we wished we had tried this place on night number one! It would have had our biz all week. If we return to Texarkana, we'll be at the Icehouse!
Hopkins Icehouse has surprisingly good food. Yes I know it's a bar. But the pizzas are fresh, hot and wonderful! It's hard to beat a hot hand tossed pizza right out of the oven!
The Margarita Pizza (add chokes) is my favourite!
Hot Chick is awesome! Not too hot, but just enough spice so that beer goes down real nice! I have eaten a few slices of several different pizzas and all were good. If you would rather have a sandwich.. Rueben's are really good. The roast beef one that has au jus on the side is wonderful! I have seen more awesome looking sandwiches go out the window, but haven't tried them yet.
If you want to live on the lighter side, the salads are great! I always get the tomato stack. It's sliced tomatoes & mozzarella with fresh basil and balsamic vinaigrette. Yum!
As far as hot dogs go, I have had the Hopkins dog and the Coney dog. They serve Nathan's hot dogs here folks! Not some mix & match chicken/beef/pork/tongues and toenails crap!
Just need a snack with your beer? They have several dips, buffalo, queso, and spinach. Or if you would like some stuffed jalapenos or mushrooms, well they have those too.
