You all remembered that it’s that time of year! We offer whole pies to go every day. Sometimes we have something on hand, but a day’s notice will give us enough time to bake you the pie of your choice. With the holidays upon us, we invite you to pre-order your Thanksgiving pies with us. Have dietary restrictions? No problem. Let us know what they are and we will do our best to accommodate. Gluten-free, dairy, free, egg free. We’ve got you covered. We have order forms on hand at the diner. We plan to get a form online within the next day to make it easier for you. Feel free to email us at [email protected] or you can call us at 315-893-4070.

No pretty food pictures today. It was too busy. We’re hopping that you all notice that we are stepping it up a notch. We so appreciate all of you coming to see us on the weekends. We have staffed up and are refining our operations to make it a truly memorable and fun experience for everyone. So don’t be afraid of a full parking lot. We had one of our busiest days ever with no wait times for tables. Thank you all so much for your support! And thank you to our hoppy crew for making this all possible. BIG thank you from our families to yours❤️🙏

This cheerful fellow travelled all the way from South Carolina to visit us at The Hop! We sent him off with a belly full of tasty veggie and Swiss scramble and a homemade biscuit and soup to go to share. Always a pleasure to see you, Steve! Thanks for hopping by! And big thank you to our new friend at the counter for humoring us by taking a pic of this reunion while waiting for his Apple Cinnamon French Toast 😂

One of our diner family members reminded us that we moved into the diner three years ago today. You may recall that we didn’t open until nearly a year later. And we weren’t even done yet!’ Here’s a shot of the dining room when we were working. Our family did most all of the work you’ve seen. From painting, to flooring, to refinishing furniture and the classic knotty pine walls. It was a labor of love, to be sure. We are so proud to be able to share it with you all, and even more grateful that you all hop in to visit. Here’s to three years of our family loving this diner. Big thanks to you all, and our amazing team, for making it all worth it ❤️ 💪 🤩

We got the message loud and clear! You are really loving coming in to see us on weekends! Starting this weekend, we are staffing up to accommodate the increase in traffic to cut down wait times for tables, and ensure our hoppy team can give you the best possible experience. We so appreciate all of our guests, and our crew, for your patronage and your smiles. See ya soon!
