2nd time at with friends. The place was packed which says a lot about it. The food was wonderful. Took friends that have not been. They loved it. Tried the Buffalo chicken this time and it was great. Took a bite of my friends mack and mack. I loved it as well. It's an open Air restaurant which is really nice to have around this town. Faces a nice little park. We sat outside on the deck they have. I do not think there wait on food is as long as people say . It's cooked to order. Its not fast food. Our sever was friendly. For just a little over a month I think this place is doing just fine. Thanks for coming to Fort mill. This town loves it and we needed a place with qaulity food! ! read more

See all

Hobo's has a great atmosphere to it. Nice restaurant in downtown Fort Mill. Food is really good and pricing is not too bad. We have gone a few times read more

I really love the salads here. Balsamic and roasted chicken. It's delish! This is also the only place I've ever actually eaten and loved a BLT! Mostly because the "T" is not a red tomato, but a lovely green fried tomato! The batter could be thinner and cooked a bit longer, but it's almost perfect sandwich. I also really like the onion strings, but as was my experience this weekend, they are not always cooked and can be very oily.. The burgers are delish and the roast when they have it, is really good too. Definitely worth visiting! The ambiance is casual and cozy. read more

I LOVE Hobo's. I took my friend here for dinner when she was in town. We ate outside and listened to the live music. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The chicken sandwich and black bean burger were delicious! Plus we enjoyed a few margaritas! I plan to get a milkshake next time. read more

The food is amazing and the location is great! We stopped by the other night and they had music outside. The food is consistent and the beer is cold. They have great wings and burgers. Spiked milk shakes are an added bonus! Only point is because the service can be iffy at times but besides that it's one of our favorite places in Fort Mill. read more

The burgers are ok, the cheese fritters are awesome, the fries are gross, basically soggy oil.

I love this place! The burgers are awesome and the drink selection is good for a place this size. Service has always been good, if not great, and the location is neat as well. Will continue going for a long time. read more

We just tried Hobo's for the first time today. Our waitress was horrible. The food was just so-so. I got chicken tacos. The chicken was so hard that I couldn't eat it. The waitress was nowhere to be found so I couldn't tell her I can't eat it. We also needed ranch dressing so our daughter who is 11 years old went to ask a Male waiter. He wouldn't give her the ranch dressing until she confirmed where she was sitting and basically belonged there. We watched the whole thing. Who does that? It was a container of ranch for our appetizer that was delivered. We will never go back and wouldn't recommend it. read more

Today we had a girls day and the food was not that good and the service was not great either. One of us ordered the oriental salad which was lettuce thrown together and sesame seeds thrown in. We also ordered the cheese fritters and received 5. The burger was okay with house chips that were good. The chicken waffle sandwich was soggy and the onion strings yuck do not get. As well as the food being mediocre; it was almost 50.00 dollars with tip for 3 people, one appetizer and 3 entrees and water to drink. That is outrageously expensive. My advice is go somewhere different, this place is not great and overpriced for what you receive. read more

I love hobo's! The food is good and it's pretty quick. Also on weekends they have live music with a nice area to sit outside.

Sat at the bar on a beautiful fall day. Had an average meal. Everyone in Fort Mill said this was the best. Didn't blow us away. Wings were good. The T Money burger was bland and had a concept of being delicious but wasn't executed properly. Changing the bland meat, larger bacon portions, and maybe a jack or havarti cheese could add some depth and improvement. Bartender was sweet but it felt like she was a server behind the bar.... if that makes sense. Don't plan to return read more

Not impressed. It seemed we were intruding on the staffs social time. The burger was just ok. My wife's onion sticks were cold and my fries were soggy. It is a very casual place, which is great, but it was not a place I will frequent. There's better burger places around. read more

A great local hangout for dinner and drinks. Usually has live music on the weekends. We love the burgers here!

Yesterday was the world famous Strawberry Festival in Fort Mill and while I'm a big fan of fried oreos we decided to walk over to Hobo's for lunch. We've never been but I've heard good things. It was 2:00 pm on a Saturday and there was about a 20 minute wait, the patio was packed and there were a few tables and booths open when we walked in from the back which always bugs me. The 20 minute wait with open tables means you are understaffed and the 16 year old running the host stand is untrained. Anyhoo, we were seated inside in a nice booth. Sweetie ordered the fried grouper sandwich and the kiddos had a cheese quesadilla and a cobb salad. I had a burger. Burger selection on the menu was AMAZING and the burger I had was excellent, not sure which one it was but it was a preselected one vs. the build your own. It had onion straws, bacon, American Cheese, onions etc....the patty itself was char grilled and cooked to my taste of med rare (The way God intended a burger be cooked). If you're here, get a burger you can thank me in the comments. My kid's Cobb Salad was also well stocked with grilled chicken and all the accompaniments. The Ranch dressing was homemade and lacked that tang you expect but all in all it was good. Sweetie loved the grouper sandwich and was appreciative of a pescatarian option on the menu. At the end of the day, I liked Hobo's. They have a nice selection and I appreciate a place that can make a burger interesting. I'll be back, and I would guess that on a normal day for lunch they have it better together on the greeting front. read more

Great food consistently- fun atmosphere great for families. Also really good beer selection on tap - they often surprise me with unique ciders too. Buffalo Chicken sandwich is the best of anywhere. Kids love the grilled cheese and hamburgers! Can't be beat read more

I just left this place at 3:50 on Monday, March 12. Our waitress did not give us napkins, our waitress did not check on us after she gave us our food to see if everything was all right, hope my grilled cheese I ordered was cold, all the condiments on the table were empty, and they weren't busy at all, there were about 4 or 5 people in the place including me. Somehow it took 35 minutes for me to get my food. I've never received such poor experience somewhere before. Will never be going back there. read more

Wings are not good and female bartender with black glasses is rude and needs some customer service training. Will not be going back to hobos. read more

Great place Great atmosphere definitely recommend a grouper bites and a wedge of lemon

Not sure what people see about this place. My wife and I ate here Tuesday evening 7/11 and had a less than stellar experience. Place was not very busy and we were seated immediately. She ordered the Vagabond burger medium rare and it came close to well done. No juices at all in the burger. She sent it back and they got a little closer the second time around . I ordered a Black and Blue burger medium and it was well done. I did not send mine back as I didn't really care. However 80% of the way through my burger I wished I had. The brioche bun is too thick and breaks up in your hand and is too dry. We ended up eating our burgers with a knife and fork. The onion straws were standard greasy stuff. Blame that on me I should know better. The fries were OK but they are French fries. read more

The fried chicken and bacon waffle sandwich was amazing. Very friendly, welcoming atmosphere!

The best beer selection in Fort Mill and easily the best burgers. I love to get creative while i build my own burger...so many options to create your own masterpiece. The fries are amazing and the shakes....out of this world! One of the best things is that they have a "side yard" that is fenced in, so little ones can run around and play while parents can enjoy the live music on the deck. Paradise for parents of young children! read more

Nice burger joint where you can build your own with plenty of variety brews on tap (got to try those some day after work). Friendly, attentive service at a great lunch spot. read more

First, they named the place Hobos. A Hobo is a homeless vagabond who is penniless. Yes there are tracks nearby but come on! Just weird. We visited Hobo's on a Thursday night a couple of weeks ago. Love the decor- exposed brick, large deck (but no fans or umbrellas), very comfortable and casual. The place was pretty packed and there was a wait but we were able to score 2 seats at the bar outside. Service was attentive however we did have to request menus. We each ordered a beer while waiting for our food. I got a chicken sandwich and he got a burger cooked medium. And then the wait started. We waited and waited. Three beers in and the food finally arrives. My chicken was over-cooked, dry and flavorless. My husband's burger was VERY well done and dry. Honestly we were both so hungry we decided to just eat anyway and leave. The bartender came over to check on us and when my husband pointed out that his burger was very well done the bartender CHUCKLES and says "You'd think that when the kitchen is getting their ass handed to them the food would come out under-cooked instead of the opposite!" Really dude? Did you just say that? Okaaaaay. Anyway, not sure if we'll ever go back. There are so many great burger places in the Charlotte metro area, there is no need. For the record, I would have given another star or two based on the attentive staff, the place itself as well as the fact that is is new and they are working out the kinks. But after the "ass handed to them" comment, I just couldn't. read more

We have driven past this restaurant a dozen times and finally decided to stop in. There was not wait time (Sunday lunch) and the food was pretty good. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming and the server was friendly. The only things that held me back from giving a 5 star review was that we were not offered a high chair for our 1 year old (we had to go get it ourselves) and that his grilled cheese came out partially burnt. Overall, not a huge deal in the scheme of things. We will definitely be back. read more

I've tried Hobo's several times and it never disappoints. The pimento cheese fritters are so yummy! I've ordered several burgers and they have all been delicious. I'm also a big fan of their pasta salad. The staff is always attentive and kind. I took my grandmother and our friend there recently as well and they talked about it for the rest of the afternoon! Every time we go, we sit outside and love the outdoor seating. As other patrons have stated, the flies can be pretty annoying but it has never ruined my overall experience. read more

A little messy and disheveled but the food was great and the live music on the patio was good. Fun vibe with friends.

Based on all the reviews, we were a little scared about trying Hobo's, but either we hit an off night (which would be a good thing) or they've finally settled into things. The fella and I got here around 5:30 on a Friday night thinking we'd beat the crowd, but we were wrong. Although there's a nice patio outside, it was blazing hot, so everyone was inside... mostly crowded around the bar. The inside is laid out a little oddly with the bar and a few massive booths taking up a good bit of space; there are 5 or 6 tables are near the front, which can also be awkward if there's a wait since people are literally waiting right next to your table. We put our names on the wait list, grabbed a drink at the bar, and got called to sit right as we got our drinks. Thankfully, we got a table not near the waiting people. We both got burgers, which were pretty delicious, and our waitress was attentive and pleasant. The fella's already been back for lunch and had a good experience, so we'll definitely be back for dinner and hope the good times continue! read more

Great food, great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Love the selection of local beers on tap... my only real feedback is the food comes out too fast! I ordered the fried grouper sandwich once and the last bite had a scale in it (at least it was fresh!) and the Vagabond Burger was great however I though the patty lacked the necessary seasoning. The fried pimento fritters are an absolute must! Avoid the cole slaw though, really bland and boring. This is now our go to spot for my wife and I when we have a date night. Keep up the good work! read more

First off who puts the employees at a table by the front door to eat and roll silverware? Perfectly good table in the back corner. The cheese fritters were really good (hard to mess up fried cheese). Burgers took forever and were dry. I really didn't need to know if so and so was clocked in or not and the manager or owner "managing" in front of customers. Bar business might do well. If they make it to football season Sunday business might keep them open. Waitstaff was friendly. read more

1st visit today. Very disappointed. Cooks were "down", whatever that means. Suggestion, if you don't have cooks then close your business instead of expecting your customers to wait 45 minutes to take their food orders. If you want customers to come back, at least offer to sit them with free drinks (ice tea, soda, beer) for the inconvenience. Needless to say we went somewhere else. read more

This was not a good experience. I really liked this place a few years ago as a place to stop for a beer, appetizers, and a quick dinner. Last couple times, the service has been real poor. Tonight, we sat down and waited...and waited...and waited for our drink order to be taken. "I'm sorry, your server is busy..." was what we were told. Turns out, the server was just very apathetic and inefficient. Not a good night for this place. read more

i've been here three times, each time hoping for a better dining experience. Sadly, I doubt I'll be back for a fourth time. The service is slow. Really, really slow, and inattentive. Could be that they're using high school waitreses, or at least it seems that way. Also, while the beef used in the burgers is of good quality, the buns, especially the brioche, are dry to the point that they fall apart in your hands. But the worst was one evening we were seated by a party of four couples, soccer moms and their hubbies, and they were so LOUD and obnoxious we (me and my kids, one in high school, one in college) speed-chowed our food to just get out of there. But with the dismal, slow service, we could not vacate Hobo's fast enough. Oh, and how obnoxious were the folks nearby? When a waitress dropped a tray full of plates and glasses that crashed on the floor, someone at the other table clapped. High school, maybe junior high. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees. read more

I have to say I was disappointed, but to be completely fair the burger I had was tasty and by far the best part of the meal. Let me clarify the burger meat was good. The bun was old and not toasted. They get their bread from a local bakery which I frequent. I have had their bread numerous times. This was the most disappointing part of my meal. I know how good the brioche buns are. This one sucked! I asked for cheese to be added to my burger... it was not. The chili was just plain bad... dry and bad. the little bit of slaw that was on my burger was ok but to be honest it really had no taste there simply wasn't enough of it to tell you if it was good or not. The French fries were fairly hot and had a good taste. I have to say it seemed like the end of a batch. lots of small pieces, not very many big fries. the beer was good and the bartender friendly although neither of them bothered to engage me in any conversation.... and the topper of the whole experience.... when I entered at the very beginning of the evening I passed an employee in the hall.... can you guess what she said to me? yep.... absolutely nothing .. I don't know if anyone else feels this way but given the choice I would prefer you to be rude to me rather than be indifferent to me. I think indifference is the worst.... read more

I know this place has only been open a week, and they have some kinks to iron out, but there's something really disturbingly wrong about places with bars that allow children (we're talking toddlers) to sit at the bar. Maybe it's a southern thing and I just don't understand 'the rules'. But heck, out of 20 people at the bar, at one point, four of them were under 10 yrs old. However, I still think the place has a lot of potential. Good beer selection and creative menu choices, but they really need to re-think their concept of serving milkshakes and spiked ice cream cocktails until they can streamline their process. They are so time-consuming to make, it puts the bartenders behind. I would have given the place one star (super-slow service and drink refills, below average food presentation, and too many kids at the bar), but I know they're new and after the buzz dies off, they'll be a good fit for a growing Fort Mill area. I wish I could come back in a few months to give them another try, but we're leaving the area due to a job relo. Bottom line: The staff is very friendly, and that will take them far. read more

Given the location and what they are trying to be I really wanted this place to be great. It's just ok. Pros: Very nice local beer selection. Good location. Fun outdoor area. Decent service. Cons: Burgers and especially the buns are below average. If I'm eating a burger away from home, it has to be great, these are not. Greasy fries and very little creativity in the menu. If you're in Downtown Fort Mill it's worth it for a beer or two. We've tried several times hoping for better food but I think our Hobo's visits are done. read more

Friday, December 23, 2016, my LAST visit... Took a gift card in to redeem and ownership failed to honor it... He took money from a friend of mine (for the gift card) and slapped an expiration date on it... Bad business... Anyway, we walked two doors up, to Local Dish, and enjoyed a better meal... Plus, Local Dish honors their gift cards... Needless to say, from now on, where to buy a meal on Fort Mill's Main Street will be an easy decision for me, my family and friends. read more

We love this place as a family place or a date night. If you go on a Saturday night be prepared to wait, but the food is amazing and the service is always great. My favorite is the buffalo chicken sandwich and I could eat an endless amount of the fries. Definitely our go to place! read more

Nice atmosphere for a casual lunch or dinner. We had the fried grouper bites and the big apple burger, and both were tasty. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. Lovely stop on this cute street in Fort Mill. read more

A place that fort mill needs. The burgers offer a variety for everyone and go best with fries and a side of hobo sauce. Big fan of the craft brews, they have 15 taps dedicated just to local nc and sc beers. For desert try the bushwhacker milkshake, spiked with rum so a perfect way to end a good meal. Dog friendly outside and grassy area for kids to play while you wait. read more

Hobo's - Outdoor bar and patio at hobos - American Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

Good food. Good service. Good selection of craft beers on tap
