The Wicked Hop

Visited on 3/31/26 for dinner. Wicked Hop has a cool atmosphere and they had great specials for a Tuesday night. The staff was excellent from start to finish. The hostess and our waitress were both great and everything came out quickly. No complaints there. That said, a few things missed the mark. First, the music. It was a strange mix of rap and pop. Most of it was not even well known, so it felt like someone was just playing their personal deep track playlist. It made the overall vibe feel off. Whoever was in charge of music that night, please... read the room. We came in around 6:30 PM and were seated upstairs, which was empty. At first I did not think much of it, but by the end of the meal it felt like a sign. Food wise, it was just okay. The cheese curds were disappointing for Wisconsin standards. There was too much breading, not enough cheese, and a lot of hollow coating. I ordered the chicken sandwich and added bacon and avocado with the Tuesday special. The chicken was super thin, so it was basically overcooked breading. The whole sandwich was kind of dry. The only thing that helped was a generous amount of mayo. My side Caesar salad was meh. My wife ordered the deluxe grilled cheese with tomato basil soup and that was awesome. Really good, and honestly I wish I had ordered it too. While the sandwich was great, I'm pretty sure the soup was just Pizza Hut's old school marinara sauce haha. Regardless, it still paired well. Overall, this is a place with a great location, and good service, but the food just didn't hit. Not horrible, but not a place we'd rush back to.

What a cute brunch spot! The blood Mary was so good! Definitely a must try if you like bloody Mary’s! Liz was our server… she was an absolute gem! Made our visit and brunch amazing!

One of the best crispy chicken sandwiches I’ve had! The chicken was lightly pounded so it was overflowing on the brioche bun and the bread crumbs were extra crispy. I added toppings of cheddar and a fried egg which made it perfect! There are many more toppings so knock yourself out especially on Tuesdays as they have a special where all toppings are free! The host was very nice and went out of his way to accommodate us and our server was friendly, perfect and on point. We highly recommend especially if you’re like us visiting from out of town and want a nice meal.

While on our way to the Public Market we passed by The Wicked Hop and decided this was the place to eat. We had great food and great drinks, we were seated right away too! In the summer plan ahead, this place gets busy.

The waitress with pink hair was WONDERFUL, so energetic and friendly. The chicken sandwich was the right amount of juicy and tender and the hot chocolate was perfect. Loved how the music was loud but not so loud you can’t talk to the person across from you. Loved this place and will be a regular customer!
