"It’s easy to drive right past Hopfields and not even know it. The French-ish restaurant is in a strip mall between a car wash and an orthopedic clinic, just a few blocks from UT. It looks small on the outside, but the place mysteriously keeps going and going. They serve solid steak frites, ratatouille, and french onion soup, but it’s the space that makes Hopfields worth revisiting. Bring a date and sit at a small table in one of the many side rooms branching off of the main hallway, or snag a spot at the bar and schmooze with the bartender about the dozens of beers on draft.
