    Being unfamiliar with this area, I truly followed my nose to this restaurant. The smell that came from this place was phenomenal. We were walking up the street and I said wherever that is coming from is where we're going to eat LOL. On the corner this civil war structure was our destination. We went inside and they took our name the seating probably took about 20 minutes but definitely was worth it you can look around and feel the history. The staff were nice informational and inviting. The waitresses on the floor we're hustling and the food was coming out by the armfuls. The suggestion was the roast beef sandwich, it is their specialty and it did not disappoint. It was truly luscious, flavorful and tender. Anytime that you go to this quaint little town of Nashville, make sure you stop in and have lunch at hobnob corner..

    Super cute spot in the middle of Nashville, IN's famous Brown County shops. You might have a bit of a wait but it is worth it. Friendly waitress and very tasty food. We had lunch and were pleased that everyone in our party of four could find something of interest. Don't miss desert,

    Good food and wonderful service. We are sad to see this iconic restaurant closing. You just feel the history when you walk in the door.

    Very quaint. Old building in the fun downtown area of Nashville. I got the tomato chipotle soup, which was very good. It came with bread - also good. The mixed veggies were tasty - broccoli and potatoes. I must admit that the grilled cheese was meh. It was a toddler grilled cheese. White bread. Processed American cheese. Fine for a toddler. But for a $10 sandwich off the regular menu, I was not impressed. But I did enjoy the ambiance and I would come back. I just would not get the grilled cheese.

    Hobnob corner is an iconic restaurant with a deep history. The building is 160 years old and is the oldest commercial building in Nashville. The building has served as a general store, grocery, drugstore and now restaurant. The fourth generation of the Miller family now runs the restaurant. I've dined at the restaurant several times over the years and always enjoyed my meal. If you arrive peak lunch hour, you can expect to wait for a table. Today, my husband and I had an amazing breakfast. The menu has standard country breakfast options and they also have a few specials. I had the Hill Country breakfast. The eggs were perfectly cooked, velvety and fresh. The bacon is good. The amazing onion dill bread is made in house and what I ordered for toast. They provided two local jams - apricot and strawberry. There was also a side of biscuits and gravy. The food is delicious. I think this is the best breakfast place in Brown County. My husband had one of the fresh cinnamon rolls. Wow! It was huge and sugary syrup dripped as he pulled it apart. The pecans on top were fresh-fresh! He said it was "Damn good". Mariam was our server. She was friendly and told us about all the in-house pastries. She kept waters filled and brought extra plates so we could share. Mariam was a 5 stars server. In the evening, you can have wine with your meal. They have an assortment of nice wines. The building is OLD. I didn't see an entrance that didn't have steps for accessibility. I'm not sure if there is a back entrance. The unisex restrooms are tight but nice. Parking is always a challenge in Nashville. I try to get there early to find the best parking. Hobnob is a must-try if you are in Nashville.

    My wife and I travel from Fishers to Nashville IN frequently. One place we always stop is Hobnob Corner to get a loaf of their homemade Onion Dill Bread. OMG..... This bread is awesome. Definitely 5 Star. Get there early. Sometimes the bread sells out. If you don't want a whole loaf to take home, you can order hot Onion Dill Rolls as part of your meal. Today we decided to stay for a late lunch. I was surprised to see the Hobnob Corner so busy on a slow winter day in Nashville. I ordered the Open-Faced Turkey and my wife ordered the Pepper Steak Soup special. She absolutely loved the soup and ate the whole bowl. (I was hoping that she would leave a taste for me). The Open-Faced Turkey was good, but just okay. The bacon combined with tomato solidified the flavor. Overall, the food at Hobnob Corner is very good and one of the Nashville's top Restaurants. Excellent food quality, good ambiance, and great severs. Maybe a tad on the "pricey" side. If you are a Liver and Onions fan, give this Hobnob entrée a try. A hard dish to get right, but they "nail it". The Hobnob Corner gets busy and they don't take reservations. Go early or perhaps on a weekday.

    Super cool older building. Staff was very nice. It gets very busy. We had about a 10 min wait at 9:30 on a Sunday. By the time we left it was very busy. The food was great and so was the service. We both got the hash but I got mine with smoker brisket. I highly recommend their breakfast.

    Classic diner food. Very busy during the fall season. Service did the best they could I believe with how busy they were and everything tasted fine. My eggs were cooked perfectly. Food could be used a bit of seasoning/love.

    Bratwurst and Sauerkraut
    Jimmy P.

    Charming small town restaurant with surprisingly refined flavors. There is clearly someone in the BOH who takes pride in cooking. Broccolini and apple infused sauerkraut?? Micro greens? These ingredients would not be amiss in a posh pop up in a city. 150 year old building that you dine in is also cool. Worth the stop.

    The room still harkens back to it's pharmacy roots
    Kyle S.

    Hobnob Corner is the perfect place to get a quintessential meal that is fully in keeping with the town's rustic aesthetic. The menu is straightforward fare with sandwiches, soups, salads, and the like. Nothing that is really going to surprise you and I didn't have anything that let me down. Looking around the open room, the restaurant is proud of its pharmacy heritage and calls back to it almost as loudly as the floorboards that squeak as patrons and waitstaff make their way around the tables. Easy to find, easy to find seating, and easy to enjoy!

    Hobnob Corner in the heart of Nashville, Indiana is in a historic building which makes your visit truly special. When you walk in, you feel like you're going back in time and can appreciate the simplicity of earlier times. My wife and I had a great first experience. Our server was friendly and warm, and checked on us often. The menu is somewhat simple, but still offers a good variety of starters, salads, entrees, and desserts. The food is delicious - with that home cooked feel and fresh ingredients, you can't go wrong.

    Menu farewell

    This place was awesome. You better get here soon because they are about to close forever. I'll post pictures with the seasonal menu that tells the story.

    Quick lunch here didnt let us down. I've been coming to Hobnob since I was a kid, and have visited many times over the years. Whether you want lunch, a baked good, or a nice dinner, it is consistently good. I wish we lived closer to come back and have a slower evening meal with wine. Kids meals include a cookie, which is fun :)

The bourbon salmon ($24.99) was fine, just a little dry. I liked the flavor of the mashed potatoes, but they were only luke warm.

We arrived a bit early for our reservation and they said we would have to wait a bit, but then we were seated within a minute. Server was attentive to our table. She did notice after she brought my wife's wine to the table that it was incorrect. She left it and promptly got the correct one. Ambiance was fine. It's a large venue and the outdoor campus is pretty cool. We were seated in a booth. The booth itself seemed a tad worn. They also have a lot of glass on the west wall, which allowed the sun to shine in, but also made it a tad blinding when turning that direction. Overall, it was good, but not amazing.

We couldn't get a dinner reservation (busy Friday night), so we ordered drinks and food from the outdoor digital Terrace Menu. Cocktails and beer had big city prices: a seasonal 20 oz beer was a whopping $12.49 and a classic old fashioned was $13.99. Food prices were reasonable, but you get what you pay for: smash burgers were small, cooked until dry (med well with no way to specify preferred doneness when ordering), and $5 was a lot to pay for about 14 fries! We sat at a picnic table to eat, then moved to "amphitheatre" seating to listen to the music, which was provided by a typical small-venue band. Little kids were having a great time running around and dancing, but not many adults came to sit in that area. There's no dance floor space, which was disappointing. We enjoyed a walk around the pretty fall-decorated grounds at dusk, then stopped in the bottle shop, where we purchased cinnamon vodka. Since we hadn't done a tasting (which range in price from $25-$70/person), we didn't buy bourbon or whiskey. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but because of the high prices and lackluster food on the Terrace and mediocre reviews of the restaurant, I'd say once was enough.

When our food comes out, the bacon is almost raw and chewy. Not at all appealing to me. The fried mushrooms are not very crispy but almoat greasy and soft. I tried one and the grease just dripped off in what i thought was ranch, but instead a horseradish sauce of some sort. Yuk! We managed to catch the guy dropping off our burger and ask for ranch again. After he brought it our waiter brought us another one, said he didnt know if the kitchen had brought it or not. Of course the bacon removed i cut off a small slice. The meat had pieces of grissle in 2 of the 3 bites...my husband ended up eating the rest, thank goodness he is not picky about food like I am. But we both agreed we would not be coming back. They sell the apple vutter in the restaurant, it was good but definitely didn't give you enough to really try it, only a small teaspoon spread across the top of the bun. Inside there really isn't enough room for the people waiting, as there is only a small bench in front of the register and a small bench to the left of the register by the exit sign. I wouldnt give any stars for the ambiance, as it is not appealing to me. I didnt walk anywhwre but the front and its very crowded.
