Visit Big Island: Island Hopper Taproom

We went to Island Hopper Taproom to indulge in some bar bites. 

Spinach Artichoke Dip

I thought the Spinach Artichoke Dip was too spinachy, and my co-workers thought it was too cheesy.  Regardless, we couldn't taste any artichoke.

Breaded Pickles

Anytime I see fried pickles on the menu I will order it.  I loved these!

Okonomiyaki Tots

The Okonomiyaki Tots were yummy!  I think the tots could've been crisper, but they were delish overall.

All of the apps were such generous servings. 

All-American

The burgers are "smash burgers" consisting of "double decker Hawaiian beef patties," but my co-workers - both in the industry, did not consider them "smash burgers" and said they tasted like pre-made patties.

I had the Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich.  I thought it was a bit unusual they used diced chicken breast, but it tasted pre-cooked / made as well.  The bacon wasn't crispy, and overall I thought it was an underwhelming sandwich - I only took a few bites.

Thank goodness for the appetizers though.

Service was generally good, except for when I asked for serving spoons for the appetizers and our server said "I already gave you forks."

They had live music Tuesdays and Thursdays.
