First time here and I had a great experience. Started off by ordering a Long Island Iced Tea. Best one I've had in the area! I then ordered the grouper bites. They were phenomenal! I could have eaten 2 orders but needed to save room for a burger. I did the build your own cooked med. well and it came out perfectly cooked. My kids ordered milkshakes to go which they said were very good. Service was good. I will definitely be back! read more

Coworker and I are here for lunch yesterday being in town for business! Stopped in and were immediately welcomed by very friendly staff! The sunrise burger I had was amazing and a lot of bang for your buck. Our server Katie B was fantastic and the entire experience was great for a midday break. Had a HUGE beer selection also. Would highly recommend to anyone else in the area. Bravo, Hobos. read more

Best burgers in york county and the service has always been awesome! The root beer they serve is one of a kind too I love eating here on a sunny day on the patio with the vagabond=a perfect day to me! read more

We love coming here to sit out on the patio and enjoy music bingo. Drink specials are great and the kids enjoy playing in the fenced in area. Can't wait till we make it out again! read more

Visited mid-day on a Sunday and sat at the bar. Service was fast and the place wasn't overly packed. The windows were open from the patio so the whole restaurant had a nice airy feel to it. The menu offers a variety of modifiable items and drinks. Service was prompt, yet not overbearing. My burger was probably one of the best I've had in a long time. A must for a casual lunch spot! read more

OUTSTANDING Burger joint in Fort Mill. Dined outside. Great atmosphere, good service, GREAT burgers!

If burgers are your specialty, perhaps you should serve them on fresh rolls. Burgers were dry, and over charred. read more

First time here, been meaning to try. The service was excellent even though it was busy. The bartender Brittney was awesome and good at suggesting a burger as I was undecisive. I ordered the Islander w chips and ordered a Naked Apple cidar. It was a great eat! Try it! read more

Excellent! Service was good, fun atmosphere. Hubby had burger with grilled cheese sandwich buns and fries. He's picky and he likes it. I had the Asian salad with shrimp also fabulous. We came here from Charlotte to shop and the place was closed. So glad we found this place. read more

This place is a great local restuarant. We went on Sunday for dinner with the family. They have kids meals, the wings were great and the chicken and waffles weren't bad. I'm just happy to see so many "local" places in downtown Fort Mill and Hobo's definitely led the way. Stop on it and support! read more

Great Burgers! Love the California burger with fresh avocado and the homemade potato chips are crunchy and good! Also love the Chicken Tacos, milkshakes and many other types of burgers...all are great. Staff is friendly and customer service is great. The ambiance is rustic with exposed brick walls and nice tall wooden booths. My husband likes the craft beer list. They even had Highland Brewing Company Cold Mountain...a seasonal favorite that sells out quickly! The outdoor patio is fun in the summer, they have live music. Located right on Main Street in Fort Mill...across from my office. read more

My wife and I don't come here often, because there's about a half dozen places within 15 minutes of our house to get a decent burger, but we decided to order 'to go' tonight because this is the closest place. That statement should bring an immediate question to mind "wait, this is the closest place and he doesn't go here all the time?" Yep, because our past maybe five experiences have not been great and honestly mediocre at best, which is why I've waited to review and gave such a low score. When I have a mediocre or less experience at a place, I try to spread out my visits before I give a bad review, unless that place just flat-out sucked the first time. And even when that happens, I've given places a second chance. Most of them have failed. So, to be full-disclosure on this review, this is probably the eighth time I've either ordered 'to go', eaten here alone or with my wife, and my wife has also come without me with our daughter one time. Her experience then was "okay", according to her and my daughter. So anyway, my wife and I were tired and wanted something fast and even though I knew Hobo's would be busy (Friday night) and our past experiences were not stellar, I really didn't feel like driving to Rock Hill or somewhere else. My wife wanted a Carolina burger, well-done with no bun (to be eaten as a salad) and chips. I ordered a BYOB, medium-well, with provolone, lettuce tomato and onion. I specified the done-ness of the meat in this review, because that was the most dissatisfying part, by far. I understand that a burger can cook a little past the done-ness you order on the drive home, but both of these burgers were almost briquettes after a less than five minute drive. My wife's was worse than mine. Immediately after her first bite, she said to me "I'm not complaining, because I'm so hungry right now I'd eat almost anything, but this is by far the most well-done burger I've ever had anywhere". I was thinking the same thing, because I was just as hungry. I hadn't taken a bite of my burger yet, but I did cut it in half to make it easier to eat while sitting on the sofa and when she said that I picked up a half and realized it was definitely over well-done. I took a bite and there was almost no moisture left in the burger at all. I squeezed the bun and patty to see if any moisture would come out and I barely got it to sweat until I'd made it about a quarter inch thick. I tried, I really really tried to eat more of it and I actually managed to get about four dipped in ketchup-smothered bites down my gullet, but it was just not happening. I'd eaten maybe a quarter of it before I threw in the towel. My wife's chips were not great, as well. Half of them were okay, but the other half (mixed in so randomly, it was hard to tell) were rock-hard and potentially tooth-breaking. It was a tooth Russian-roulette. My onion strings were also a mixed bag. Some were fine, the others were very soggy. Now, I know there are burger enthusiasts who might read this and say "who orders a burger medium-well or well-done?" I can't answer that question other than to raise my hand and say 'right here'. I do understand why maybe you'd want a burger cooked medium or less, but I know I don't prefer it that way and my wife probably stuck with well-done since she went through being pregnant and always ordering everything well done. Not to mention, my wife and I have both ordered burgers ('to go' many times, BTW) the same way from multiple places within that 15 minute radius I mentioned, some probably less than a week ago, and we actually got what we ordered after an even longer drive home. Part of my preference is that I absolutely hate a soggy bottom bun and sometimes when you order a medium or less done-ness, the bottom bun is a red gloppy mess. No thanks. So, let's call this review frustration for the most part. The few times I've had experiences here where I wouldn't complain happened when I actually ate there at the bar. Almost all of my 'to go' experiences have sucked for one reason or another. Had I taken notes those other times, I would add more insight, but the reasons are similar. There's always a couple different things that are wrong. This experience with "done-ness" is not the first time, I can tell you that. Either my burger was fine and my wife's was over or under-cooked or vice-versa on almost every other occasion. This was the first time they absolutely cooked both of ours to oblivion, which is why I wrote this review. Don't read this and think, "oh this guy just had one bad day and here's his bad review". No, this is based on multiple experiences. Maybe they just don't have their 'to go' game all together? I suppose that's a possibility. But, being the only burger joint in downtown Fort Mill and the only burger joint within almost two and a half miles of their location (trying not to mention Wing King which isn't even a burger joint, but has a burger on their menu), you'd think they'd have their act together by now. read more

Stopped by Hobo's on a trip from Charlotte to Charleston, based on Yelp recommendations. I was not disappointed. The fried green tomatoes with grits and "southern caviar" was absolutely delicious. Just the right amount of spicy and tangy. Servers were friendly and the dining room is open and comfortable. read more

Overall very disappointed with our experience last night. This was the second time we visited during this pandemic, so I don't think we can safely blame our experience on how COVID has affected businesses. To start, we arrived at 6pm and we were told it would be a 20min wait. No big deal but we did notice there were several empty tables available. We just chocked it up to the restaurant trying to keep everyone socially distanced. However we noticed that a few of these empty tables did have food on them and they just hadn't been bussed yet. At 6:40pm we went and checked on our spot in line and we were told our table was being cleaned as we spoke. Great! At 7pm we still weren't seated. We went in and questioned this again and mentioned how we had now waited for an hour and we were told 20 minutes ago that our table was being cleaned. We were then finally brought to our table which happened to be a table that had been empty since we arrived to the restaurant at 6pm. Once we got sat our waitress was very nice and we got our orders in right away. We were enjoying the atmosphere and live music and we were overall having a good time. At about 7:20 one of our parties meals got brought out. Our waitress made a comment about how she wasn't sure why they only made one meal and sent it and she would go check. This is when we really became irritated. By 7:45 we still had only received one of our meals and there was no sign of our waitress or the store manager to question where our meals were. When the other meals finally came out they were room temperature at best, which indicates the food had been sitting for some time. We then decided it was time to speak to the manager. When he came over he wasn't helpful. He did apologize for how long we had to wait, but he did nothing to rectify the issue with our food. This was extremely disappointing and by this point we were just ready to leave. In this situation it's hard to decide who is exactly at fault. However with numerous members of our party working in the public service industry it is probably appropriate to say that our entire experience was due to poor management. We unfortunately will not be going back to Hobos anytime soon. read more

When I came in to their establishment, I had a warm greet from the staff. I sat at the bar and the bartender gave me some recommendations. I got their chocolate shake and a create your own burger. The shake was a little thick and had just the right amount of chocolate in it. The burger and fries were intimidating. I ate about half of what they gave me, and had to take the rest home. All in all I'll probably be back! read more

I had a to go order. I ordered a build your own burger and macaroni and cheese. The burger was bland and the mac and cheese was runny and tasted like microwave mac and cheese. My first time visiting and I was not impressed. read more

I really wanted to like this place and maybe I just got the wrong dish. But, I wasn't pleased with the chicken and waffle sandwich. The waffle fell flat for me. Although, the chicken was actually good. My husband got a milkshake but it was just ok. Not sure if I would return back. If I did come back, I would definitely get something else. read more

Not a place I would recommend. Burgers are bland. Mac and cheese was runny and seems microwaved. Bathroom was smelly and not clean. Server was good though. read more

So good to have Hobos open again! They have spaced out the tables and seem to have extra outside seating. Food is as good as ever - burgers are always cooked perfectly and service is always friendly. read more

Great addition to downtown Fort Mill and I have been here twice this summer. The burgers are excellent and are paired with a choice of sides in addition to the standard chips & fries. The pasta salad is great and always tastes fresh. You have to try the fried green tomatoes for starters. Solid beer selection and who doesn't want to try an adult milkshake with a great burger! My favorite so far is the Islander Express burger which is topped with grilled pineapple and a nice light teriyaki sauce that doesn't overpower the burger. My kids enjoyed their meals and of course had to have a milkshake!! Outdoor patio is great although it can be warm on a summer evening since it is west facing. Some ceiling fans and an extended awning would greatly help this, but is only a minor complaint. They are currently closed on Sundays but we were told will be open once football season kicks off. Service is great and always seems to be efficient, expect a wait-time on Friday and Saturday for dinner. I suggest you get out and try this place, it is one of my new favorites and go-to places in Fort Mill! read more

Burger was tough. Little to no use of seasonings. Very boring food. No sweet potato fries. Skip this restaurant. read more

The wait staff was nice, but the service was s l o w. They apologized for the long wait for food, but I don't know what the cause was. We ordered three black bean burgers and one regular burger. The black bean burgers were mushy and not very good. The fries were a limp pile of skinny, greasy skinny fries. The portion of fries was also small. It was edible, but not very good. I really wanted to like this place. It was fun to sit in the enclosed patio and look out at the Christmas lights in Fort Mill, but sadly it didn't make up for the bad food. Maybe black bean burgers aren't there thing and the limp fries may just be their regular thing, Oh well, we tried it and won't be going back. read more

Nice little spot in downtown Fort Mill away from the hustle and bustle. The grilled pimento cheese with bacon and french fries were pretty good. The waitress was very polite and attentive. Cool low key spot to chill read more

Hobo's is my husband and my weekend staple! You might not know standing in front of the building but it has an awesome patio, great draft beer selection and some of the best burgers in the Charlotte area. The salads are also fresh and filling if you're trying to go light! read more

This place has really good burger patties. i can't recommend the burger as a whole because I don't love their buns or toppings, but the patty itself is thick and has a great char. They also have a decent Bloody Mary. Everything else that we've tried (I've been through most of the menu) is just okay. The flavors are good, but the dishes could use a little love. They get the burger patties right though. I usually stop in a couple of times a month just for that. Overall, worth a visit if you're in the downtown Fort Mill area. read more

This place has great food and a great beer selection. David and I have always loved it. The service can be slow sometimes due to the crowds so if you go during a busy time don't be surprised. read more

We decided to switch things up and try this place. It was amazing! From the food to the drinks and our server. They did an excellent job and we will be returning! The Chicken and Waffle sandwich is to die for. Strongly recommend. read more

I recommend this place to anyone that visits Fort Mill! Location and restaurant are cool, food is good and creative, wait is rarely that long, good craft beer selection... just a cool atmosphere and a fun time! read more

Amazing burgers (I recommend The Islander Express)... with even better spiked milkshakes!! The salted caramel shake was amazing, I've never had anything like it before! I 100% will be back when I come back to visit!! read more

Giving 4 stars for the pork tacos and location. The food is always good and the place is clean. Would've even given 5 stars except for the fact that there are always employees hanging out at the bar. Like off duty. It's unprofessional to have employees, in uniform, monopolizing the time of my waitress. Didn't they just "hang out" for eight hours? Fix that and get the fifth star. read more

Best burgers in fort mill and the south Charlotte area! Try the vagabond with the house made chips and extra hobos sauce!

Wonderful food and amazing staff. We were a party of 7 with children and the waitstaff and manager were so kind and accommodating. Fantastic burgers and good beer! We will be back! read more

So this is our 3rd attempt and last time trying this place. The restuarant is so dirty, (glasses, door handles, floors, etc) The wait staff is not very attentive at all. We were there for an hour and she came by 2 times. The flies are tremendous I guess because of the dog area. This place needs a revamp already. I mean your in the town of fort mill. I will not be coming back until management is changed for sure! read more

This place never fails to impress, the service is awesome, the food is nothing short of scrumptious. My favorite is the pulled pork sandwich, even though this place is known for it awesome burgers. Price is affordable and you never leave hungry. The only knock is it small and ca get very crowded at times. They have a local bar crowd which takes away from the eating experience! read more

Omg love Hobo's so much! I always get the chicken and waffles sandwich with either fries or a side salad! My parents and I have turned my northern grandma into a diehard fan of chicken and waffles because of this place! Lauren and Caleb are such great and sweet servers!! They also have great drinks!! Love it here read more

I've tried a number of times to really like Hobo's. It's a great atmosphere, their beer selection is great. The fries/other sides are good. But at the end of the day, their entrees are just so-so. I went in last night and ordered a burger medium-rare. It came out cooked perfectly. However, it was just still so dry. The rolls, while delicious, are too big for the size of the patty. My wife ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich and it had the same issue. Too much bread for not enough meat and what meat was there was not juicy. They get the rolls from Breadsmith...the rolls are delicious, don't get me wrong, they just are too big for the patty. My kids love it, so we will go there occasionally, but I have to keep searching for something I like on the menu. read more

Chicken and waffle sandwich. All you need to know. They have an awesome beer selection w/ Shiner & Abita in the rotation. My mom loved the shakes read more

Today was my first time ever eating at Hobo. I do not recommend this place to anyone. Servers are not real friendly. Not enough food for what you pay. I will say Burgers and barley is a better burger. I doubt I ever come back. It is def not the place to come if on a diet. Also they have no side items that are not carbs. The food was not appealing to the eye. Burger over cooked and very dry. The lady I was with wasn't impressed either. Her sandwich was dry also and she ordered the Grown-up grill cheese. read more

Delicious food and great service!! I had chicken/provolone/grilled pineapple sandwich with teriyaki and onion strings....yum! Hubs had black and blue burger, also great! read more

Just walked out, 45 minuter wait and the bartender/manager wouldn't serve my 16 year old daughter and myself at the bar. We won't be back. Bartender quoted a law that doesn't exist, weak management, hire better people. Hire better people. read more
