Located at 1186 National Pike, this restaurant offers more than a meal—it delivers an experience shaped by a blend of Southern flavors and refined culinary craftsmanship. Under the attentive guidance of Chef Joe, a hometown talent who honed his skills down South for over two decades, the menu showcases bold, thoughtful dishes that resonate with both locals and visitors seeking an elevated night out.

The place is absolutely charming whether sitting inside or out. The menu changes ever so often. The chef stops by to check on you, and sometimes the owner; this restaurant cares about your experience. The meal is always great. Yes, it costs more, especially for the area and that's because it's worth more.

We had a great 'Adult Night Out' as part of our family reunion. We sat on the patio, the food was great, the atmosphere was fun and romantic. An exclamation point on our family vacation.

Tonya, our waitress, was exceptional from the moment we arrived. The chef also stopped by our table to make sure we were enjoying our meal. The menu had plenty of options and the food was top tier. 5 star experience without question. We will be back again!

Everything I ordered was very good. Yes, this is an expensive restaurant, especially for the Uniontown area. Love the bar and vibe. Bartender was okay, but she wasn't overly knowledgeable, but not bad either. The bread was very good and that salad was excellent. Moved onto the seafood pasta dish and it was quite good as well, especially how they cooked the seafood with a nice charred taste. The desert was a nice finish. I don't give 5 stars often, so this is a good place, but a little pricey for its level/area, BUT I will return. My wine pairing was a little bit of a miss. I was dinning alone and spent over $100, just so you know. Went back and had an amazing meal!!! I can't believe there isn't a line out the door, but Uniontown. Filet, escargot and an amazing caprese salad , not to mention perfect old fashioned cocktails. I will be a regular here. Awesome!

This little Gem is a very nice place to go for an exceptional meal and a relaxing environment. The Chef has a great menu to choose from. He is very friendly and welcoming to all his guests. We have been there twice in the past two months and will be back again soon. I wish the walls could talk as this building has definitely got some stories. Not too far from Morgantown, WV and well worth the trip.

We have gone to Hopwood House a handful of times and always have a very pleasant experience. Though each time it has been just short of my 5 star expectations for a fine dining establishment. The food flavors missed the mark on our first visit, but everything we ordered was exceptional on our last visit. However, the service was a little disappointing on our last visit (more attention and fresh silverware between courses would be much appreciated). On two occasions we requested a standard low table when making the reservations, but this was not honored when we arrived at the restaurant. Tiffany is fantastic and makes incredible cocktails! We have had delicious and beautiful craft cocktails on multiple visits making the bar a huge hit in my opinion. Unfortunately, our drinks were not good on another visit when Tiffany was not working. With just a few tweaks and more consistency, I look forward to Hopwood House becoming our go-to fine dining spot.
