We have been to Tallahassee often over the years and have always wanted to try The Hobbit American Grill East. Tonight was the night we finally did, and the food was delicious. The wings were some of the best we've ever had. The service from Gary was prompt and friendly. Our food was served hot within 15 minutes of ordering. There were several choices for sports viewing, and the music wasn't too loud. We will definitely be back! read more

Standard American pub. I had a buffalo chicken wrap and fries, and it was really heavy and nothing terribly special. I've only been once and don't plan on going to the other locations. For the record, though I don't drink so I'm not prone to going to sports bars or these types of places regularly because anything centered around a bar and or sports is triggering for me. read more

This is a fun super laid back place to get wings or a huge variety of food. The staff is generally very nice and the food is tasty. Is it a 3 star place? Yup. Why? Because if you get fried food to go, like wings, you should probably figure out the day the oil was changed. Leftovers are near inedible after the oil gets 1 day in the fridge... that's big sus. Will I still go here? Yup. 3 star places need love too. read more

The best cheat meal I've had in Tally in forever. I've been going to The Hobbit since the 80's, but not so much the last 10 years or so. I was in the neighborhood and absolutely craving wings, so I swung in the Hobbit on Capital Circle SE. It was mid afternoon so the dining room was empty but I was warmly greeted by the bartender in a jiffy. She told me about their specials but I was there for one thing, wings. I ordered ten, 5 buffalo hot and 5 garlic parmesan and fries. My meal came out quickly and hot. The wings were crispy and good size and were better than I remembered. I couldn't stop smiling and got a chuckle from the bartender when she heard me simply grunt in delight as I devoured all the wings. You confirmed my long standing belief that you have the best wings in Tallahassee. It may be another year before I cheat again but I'll be thinking about ya:) read more

Hobbit American Grill - Garlic Parmesan and Buffalo Hot wings - Burgers Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

#1 best wings I've found in Tallahassee! Don't judge a book by its cover. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's another world on the inside. Great indulgent food to satisfy your cravings. The vibe is like a sports bar inside. They had multiple games going while I was there. Great people watching. All types come here. From people dressed up from church, to biker dudes! Dollar wings on Sunday. My date got all flats for $1 extra. Smart move if you don't like drumsticks. Cool they have that as an option. I need to come back to try their other burgers. I got the double smash burger. It gets an A! I rank it #2 best smash burger in Tallahassee after Trap-boy-burgers. They have lots of servers. Quick and attentive. You can also get take away from a window. Very unique place with arcade machines, and full bar. No idea why some people rate it one star. Maybe it's an expectations or cultural thing? Tips and tricks: *Seat yourself *men's bathroom is on the left, ladies and the family bathroom is on the right read more

I order from Hobbit at least once a week but for the past two weeks they messed up the order. One week they did not put Tzatziki sauce on the gyro, nor did they include the extra tzatziki sauce that I ordered and was charged for so I took it back and asked that they correct it. Today I ordered wings and when I got back to the office and opened the container, they did not put the sauce on them, so I again took it back. I was very polite and waited for about 10 minutes before someone was available to explain my issue. Shortly after a manager came out and refunded my money and told me they are refusing service to me. I have never had this happen to me before, but I also never have to take items back for correction. I am totally blown away by this experience. It was their mistakes and they were mistakes that made my items non editable, yet they refuse service to me? I feel that when I spend $15 to $20 for lunch, I should be able to eat. Am I wrong? read more

Took a bit to get service and our waiter was maybe new? But...hamburgers were delicious! Hubby had the chicken Philly-2 thumbs down so...get the burger and the curly fries. Beer was cold and all the games were on. Would stop again read more

We chose to come to the Hobbit after reading someone else's Yelp review about the fabulous chicken wings. I was in the mood for some really great wings and the Hobbit delivered! I got 15 wings (flats only) with three different flavors. Garnet and gold was my absolute favorite flavor and my better half agreed as he tried all of my wings as well. Garnet and gold is their traditional medium buffalo sauce blended with their Carolina gold (mustard based) and it was perfection!! Second flavor was the medium buffalo sauce and it was pretty good! Third flavor was the garlic parmesan, which we both didn't like at all. It was too buttery and made the wings soggy. Now with that being said, the other wings were cooked to perfection! They also make their own blue cheese dressing for dipping and it is amazing! He got the smash burger and thought it was excellent and well balanced with home style pickles. It was a double and was so juicy! I'm not a burger lover but it was good and the curly fries were great! Seasoned to perfection and dipping the in the blue cheese in the key! When you pull up to the Hobbit it looks very underwhelming. It's located in an old shopping center and looks kind of like a dive. Don't let that dissuade you from going as it is a typical sports bar with your Sunday football vibe. I didn't see one table that wasn't eating wings and on Sundays their wings are .99 each so it was packed! Overall I would recommend the Hobbit if you are looking for a sports bar and a casual laid back atmosphere. We will be back for sure and will try new flavors next time! read more

Small wings; use to decent size. Will probably never go back Again! I use to enjoy going on Sundays and Thursdays for 99 cents wings. Unless they change, I can't recommend! read more

Always enjoy stopping in here for a quick drink or full dinner. My favorite being the Froto burger and tater tots. The service is always great. The bartenders are just as great. Good people, good times and good food! read more

**Update** I added two stars because 1. They brought the jalapeño poppers back 2. Post Hurricane Helene I have been without power for two days and was going stir crazy. The staff at Hobbit let me sit for hours in the a/c and watch the games. They even let me charge all of my batteries! Sometimes kindness is the most important and impactful element of a local spot. Thank you especially to my server Keyari who was very kind! read more

Living out of town I have used Hobbit for year but something has changed since they were sold. Service is but the same. I ordered 100 wings for pick up and all I got was beef and when I picked up the wings they were delivered in styrofoam boxes. Needless to say 20 wings per box doesn't work and this just creating a big mess. I won't make this mistake again. read more

I was looking for wings and football in Tallahassee on a Thursday night. I found it at the Hobbit. When I walked in to the Hobbit, I loved the decor of what a sports bar should look like. There was a lot of room and there were plenty of TVs and decorations. And what was even better, I walked in and discovered the Thursday night wing special for 89 cents. There were several wing flavors to try. Usually I look for a BBQ flavor, then flavors I cannot get anywhere else. After some help from the waitress, I decided on Garnet and Gold, Fiesta Ranch, and Spicy Caribbean. First of all, the Garnet and Gold was the best out of the three sauces, which is sad to say because of the Florida State inspiration behind it. Roll Tide! The Garnet and Gold was the Carolina Mustard BBQ sauce mixed with the mild or medium buffalo sauce. The Fiesta Ranch was the next best as it had a Ranch seasoning to it with a medium buffalo sauce. The Spicy Caribbean was the worst. I have been to other places and it was similar to a Honey-Garlic but these sauce was very weak and not flavorful. My buddy that was with me said we had to get the cheese curds. Hands down...these were the best cheese curds I've ever had. They were easy to chew and had some kind of special seasoning to them. The sauce that came with it too added to the deliciousness of these cheese curds. Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! I would love to come back to the Hobbit to explore more of the flavors for wings. read more

Don't bother going. Service is poor and food is served cold and no taste. I threw away $20!

I just landed in Tallahassee and was craving wings. We order 15 wings, dry lemon pepper and garlic parm mix with the curly fries. Strike one: while waiting for the food, one of the workers was hacking their lungs out over the soda machine and continued working without hesitation! Strike two: Get home and went straight for the fries, which tasted like the frozen kind. Strike three: the wings had absolutely NO flavor, with a "hint" of the requested sauces. I'm still craving wings! read more

I tried Hobbit for the first time in a while and I came away with a good impression. I used to eat here all the time when I was in college but I just stopped going one day. I used to rotate between this location and the location on Pensacola. On this occasion I had the wings and I had tater tots with them. I order 10 wings, 5 of them were hot and 5 of them were lemon pepper. I really wanted the onion rings but I didn't want to wait so I settled for the tater tots. I ordered curbside pickup and as I checked in, I got a Yelp coupon so that was really cool. I'm glad they were open on New Years Day. read more

We were in town and visited this past week after a recommendation from the bartender at our hotel. We were looking for teriyaki wings and we were not disappointed. The wings were hot. crispy and delicious.The celery and carrots were plentiful and fresh. We will return. read more

It's a nice sports bar. It was clean and the waiters were cleaning up tables as people left. Also, there are lots of TVs to watch most games. I had bone in lemon pepper wings, fries and a beer. The food was prepared properly and the wings were sauced right. My wings were pretty good. The service was also good in the dining room and the beer was cold, excellent for a sports bar. The time it took to get my order was about right for bone in wings, just sayin. read more

THE ABSOLUTE WORST SERVICE not even a busy day and took about 50mins for food to come out ! Wings were very mediocre very chewy rubber texture. It does fit the "college town" bar scene but feel like there is better places read more

Plan for a LOOOONG LUNCH!!Very short staffed. There was about 4 empty tables with baskets and drinks still on them (not been sanitized) like the hostess sign alludes. The rest were packed w large groups. Sat at the bar (12:37) since it was only me. It was 10min (12:47) before I even saw the bar tender. Not one wait staff spoke to me until he asked what I'd like to drink... then he waited on 5 more people before bringing the drink. Said he'd be right back to get my order. But after another 15min and then watching him take a table of 10 credit cards and tabs and begin to ring them up, I gave up (1:07). Maybe next try, cause I was sure looking forward to that patty melt; my friend suggested it was FIRE! Real Hobbits would revolt if it took them this long to get food! read more

I gave this place four stars but keep this score relative to type of establishment that it operates as. It's an "American Grill", they serve greasy food by trade. It's burgers, sandwiches, wings and a variety of ways to fry potatoes. That's it. So yeah, they're good at what they do but don't go in here with the expectation of some kinda fine dining establishment. It's loud, there are TVs everywhere, and the wait staff ain't got no time for your shenanigans. They're efficient, contrary to the first impression you get walking in the door. If you are in the mood for some competent "grill" type food and also unconcerned about your cholesterol level, this is your place. Also, get the veggie basket - their blue cheese dressing is made in house and is the absolute best. read more

My latest visit to Hobbit's was pretty good. I ordered two orders of 10 wings and two sides of fries. I ordered to go and they said it would take 15-20 minutes. It took closer to 30, but this was on a weekend night. I will say the team member that took my order and the one that brought it were both very courteous. We enjoyed our wings, they were saucy and nicely sized. The fries were OK too. I'm never a fan of getting fries to go and this was no exception. All in all Hobbit wing night didn't disappoint. Get the Carolina Gold, so sweet, tangy and simply delicious! read more

Hobbit American Grill - Waiting for my dinner... - Burgers Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

over the past year the level of service and quality of food has diminished. Spoke with Stephen McAllister, the general manager, after my first bad experience. (I've been going to the restaurant for YEARS). He promised the issue would be addressed even offered a gift certificate, which I refused. I only wanted the situation addressed. I went back yesterday to give them another try, after a three month break, and nothing has changed. This place seems to only hire incompetent ppl. Stay away unless you want to pay for over priced bar food that is just okay with bad service. read more

On several occasions, I've ordered the same combo and it's never made correctly, they can't seem to give me what, I ordered and it's frustrating, you should not have to pay for the dip unless you want more than one. I order my chicken crispy, not refried it's a big difference. Fiesta ranch, on several occasions it was covered with ranch and fiesta , now it' barely have any ranch at all,, my fries with no seasoning, not jerky fries, there dryer out. If I'm going to pay for what I want can you all please, just make it correct and for human consumption. read more

By far some of the best wings in town. Get the garlic heat flavor if you get wings. The pub cheese is also amazing along with the fried pickles. The ranch is perfectly creamy!! A really chill place to go even in sweats on the weekend. Don't forget to check out the back patio for sitting! read more

The wings were great and the beer was good and cold. I've been a hobbit fan for years and still love it! read more

Hobbit is a fave. Great wings and the best Bleu cheese. Prices are way up, as in most places. read more

Frodo nooo and no butter beer here as well Lol They're not unlike any other small sports bar USA which could have been nice and apart from the reviews, we didn't experience long waits or bad service; unremarkable in a good way. No breaded wings means no wings for me. And they were adamant about that too, proud of it. Wings are sort of what they're known for, but I'll never know. Bradley burger was pretty good. Was told it's made of locally sourced premium sausage/beef from Bradley's Country store of Tally lore. Our other burger, not so good. And why are tots an upgrade? Lol One good burger, one not so good one, two draft beers, one Coke, $32. Two rounded up for that Bradley burger. read more

Couldn't order online tried calling in for my order but they were very rude don't even spend your money at this place

Truthfully, just go some place else for dinner. Or lunch. Or anything. To start the service was just terrible. Waited over 15 minutes for someone to come and take our drink order. We were ready to order when they finally did come. We ordered cheese curds, garner and gold fries and 20 boneless wings. We waited 40 minutes for our food and the wings came out cold!!! Not even room temp, cold! There were 15 small pieces of cheese curds. For $7.95! Had to send the wings back, so that added another 15 minutes to our wait... our waiter finally came back over and asked if we were ready for our check. Before our wings came back out... Our waiter Jordan came over and apologized saying another table kept taking up his time. That doesnt bode well for other customers to hear that since they were getting blown off. read more

Our new spot, because the food is consistently good and the staff is friendly. Menu is your typical bar food, but haven't been disappointed yet.

Came in after a car event next door, happy and enjoyable as usual. We were waited on right away, with beers and onion rings arriving very quickly. The wings on the other hand took over 20 minutes and arrived COLD!!! Come on, get with it Hobbit!!! We did request warm/hot wings and in less than 10 minutes later they were brought out exactly the flavor and warmth we expected! So they did recover, but couldn't give above a 2 since our experience should have been better. read more

I received a Philly cheese steak with no mushrooms with I added. Cheese which wasn't there No jalapenos which I added and I didn't get my fries. I was so pissed I stayed home from work. I've dined in and never seen a screw up that hard. Thanks read more

So firstly it was busy big day for Tallahassee given that FSU were playing the Gators! So lots of Garnet and Gold were there. We went in to watch the World Cup USA VS England plenty of TVs and the sound was on! It's a local place with loud televisions and loud people and fried food all great! You have been warned we really enjoyed watching the footy match had a couple of beers some wings and the veggie basket highly recommend the veggie basket the homemade blue cheese is AMAZING! Renee behind the bar was super busy but also super attentive a sweetheart! Overall if you are looking for a beer some fried food and some amazing blue cheese to dip your veggies and wings in this would be the place to go enjoy! read more

This place is right across the street from me and I'm never coming here again. They've "lost" my orders repeatedly or just flat out gotten them wrong, charge way too much, and the only reason they're in business is because of the same reason why I kept trying with them, their location. Not worth your time, they've certainly wasted plenty of mine. read more

Our experience was not favorable! We had to ask to be waited on! We were given a full menu but told that we could order from the appetizer portion anc had to order from the lunch special. Wanted boneless wings and received bone in wings! I ordered the chef salad with grilled chicken, it came with ham and cheese. The waitress was unfamiliar with the menu and clueless. She did offer to take the salad back but we didn't have time. Do not hand out a full menu if the customer is not allowed to Oder from it! We are from out of town and will not return when visiting Tallahassee!!! read more

Very displeased about our experience tonight. Came with a party of 7 ( 6 adults and a child). Service was sub par (slow and overall not pleasant). Took an extended amount of time to get our drinks (beers, sodas, and waters). Food came out after a long wait and not all at once. My meal in particular took much longer than the rest. Most of the food was no longer hot when it got there. Second beer order took about 15 minutes to fulfill. Waitress charged for dressings that were not ordered, and she charged me a dollar for the hot sauce on my Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. All things I can deal with until they put an automatic $33 tip on the bill. They barely earned a 10% tip, let alone a 20%. Voiced my concerns with the management and they seemed aggravated that I would even be displeased. Don't plan to return. read more
