My grandad, the legendary 'MR. HOP' as he was known ran a little cinder block building grocery for many years as I grew up. Hop's was a store not a restaurant, although Poppy did make a mean sloppy joe. Mr. Hop is still alive, he moved back to Kansas many years ago, he will be 90 this November. If anyone happens to have pictures of the store as it was when my family owned it I can be contacted at samnshann@cox.net. I saw the 'store' if that's what it's called in 2004, funny how things have changed in Springridge yet not at all. ...read more

I WENT INTO HOPS KORNER LAST NIGHT TO ORDR FOOD TO GO. THE WAITRESS YELLED AT ME AND TOLD ME TO "PUT IT BACK; MY HUSBAND JUST BROUGHT THOSE TO ME"? I HAAD NO CLUE. I WENT IN WITH A ROSE. I ASKED HER WHAT, AND SHE SAID MY ROSE. I TOLD HER, MAAM, YOU NEED TO COUNT THOSE CAUSE I DIDN'T TAKE ANYTHING. THE FIRST TIME SHE COUNTED, SHE SAID THERE'S 11. I TOLD HER TO COUNT THEM AGAIN. SHE DID, AND SHE HAD ALL 12. DID NOT OFFER AN APOLOGY. MY HUSBAND TOLD HER IF WE HAD NOT ALREADY PAID FOR OUR FOOD, SHE COULD STICK IT. OUR ORDER WAS SHORT, AND WHEN WE WENT BACK, SHE WOULDN'T WAIT ON HIM. THE COOK BROUGHT OUT THE REST OF OUR ORDER. SHE IS RUDE AND SHOULD NOT BE WORKING WITH THE PUBLIC LIKE THAT. I TRIED TO CALL THE OWNER THIS MORNING, BUT THEY ARE CLOSED. OTHER THAN THE RUDE WAITRESS, AND I THINK HER NAME IS DEANNA, WHICH IS THE NAME ON OUR RECIPT, THE FOOD IS GOOD AND THE REST OF THE STAFF ARE GREAT. I WAS SO EMBARRASSED, AND WILL NEVER GO BACK IN THERE; AS LONG AS SHE IS WORKING THERE. ...read more
