First time at Hobo's in Ft. Mill for dinner on a Friday night. Parking was a bit hard to find because there are several restaurants in the area. We didn't wait too long for a table and our sever Lamont came over after a few minutes. He was very nice and took our order promptly. The food came out pretty quickly. The portions were ample. My son had the Locomotive burger which included a hamburger patty, bbq and onion strings. He enjoyed it very much. I had the turkey melt which included slices iof turkey and not turkey deli slices. I had homemade chips which were delicious. My husband liked his Philly cheesesteak but said it could have used more aioli. The atmosphere was noisy but casual. Lamont was attentive in checking on us but not overbearing. read more

We stopped in for lunch on the way to Rock Hill from Charlotte. Nice casual restaurant with a perfect outdoor area! Tables on the deck and on the turf allow for multiple groups to sit outside. The service was fantastic, and the food was so good. We all got something different: cheesesteaks, Wanderer Burger, and bbq sandwich. House chips are crispy, mac and cheese looked pretty good (although I didn't try it but another with us said it was good), and the onion strings were actually rings (not a deal breaker - just were expecting onion strings and not large rings). The cocktails and beer are reasonably priced. Their Lime Hobo-Rita with Salt was sweet but refreshing for a hot day. The Cruzan Confusion was delicious and could be dangerous it goes down so smooth. We got milkshakes to go: strawberry and peach (flavor of the month). They were both really good and not overpowering - mainly tasted like vanilla with their extra flavoring/fruit chunks mixed in - which is good in my opinion. We can't wait to try the new location in Rock Hill when it opens and we're visiting family there again! read more

Last time I came to Hobo's was 2 yrs ago I had a burger and fries didn't have enough room for a milkshake. So tonight while admiring the wonderful Christmas lights on Tom Hall in fort mill I stepped in and ordered myself a Spiked Milkshake named "Buttery Nipple" and boy all I can say it hit the spot. My spiked milkshake included Butterscotch Schnapps, whipped vodka, vanilla ice cream just for $9.50. I can't wait to go back again read more

This rating is coming from what I feel is a discriminatory experience from one of the managers. And note - I'm a CMS teacher. I put up with a lot, so for me to post ...boyfriend and I ate an early dinner at about 5:30pm enjoying meals and drinks on the "turf" outdoors. All was great. It rained but we were fine. At about 7pm it started raining again. We and 2 other tables moved to tables under the covered portion of the patio. Our male waiter (also a manager I learned) said nothing and took our drink order. 5 minutes later this female manager (heavy set, glasses) comes to our table and states "these tables are for people who are waiting I'm sorry you have to leave." Not move or wait - LEAVE. I said wait what? I explained we weren't the only ones that moved... she didn't care... she wanted only US, an interracial couple to move. Not the other 2 tables of white couples that did the same thing (we were there first) or that the other manager took our order there. There was literally ONE couple waiting - so this "manager" was willing to kick us out so ONE couple had a table? We were still drinking, enjoying food on a tab. When I argued with her as to why WE were being targeted she managed to move another table over and the couple sat there but the manager proceeded to argue with us. Our waiter - the other manager clearly didn't agree with her. My BF finally told her it was fine and she could leave. WORST MANAGER. Has zero business being a manager. absolutely OFFENDED by the treatment of this young girl who needs to learn a lot about how to treat people and manage a restaurant. read more

This place is always busy. The food is pretty good, but was better. Adult Milkshakes are awesome great selection of craft beer on draft. Get Harper to make your shakes if she is working read more

My husband and I went here for date night last night and the food and service was outstanding. We stared with the pimiento cheese fritters, they came out piping hot and delicious. My husband built his burger and his comment was it tasted as if he made it himself, perfection! I had the California burger with chicken and it was delish and full of flavor. Can't wait to go back with our teenager again! read more

What a great choice of burgers. If you want a salad make sure you share because it's ginormous. Pimento cheeseballs are fantastic as well. I have yet to have anything that I disliked on the menu.. read more

My daughter and I went here on 5/31/2024 for late lunch about 3 pm. We were immediately sat at a booth table. The table needed cleaning off which was fine with us. Our server a young dark haired lady said she would be right back to do that . That's it. We waited about ten minutes. No menu, no clean table , no drinks. She never made it back to check on us. We left and went elsewhere to eat. It was not busy. Only about three people at the bar. And people on the other side of the bar. But plenty of staff walked back and forth and by us. Have never been to a Hobo's and really wanted to try it. Oh well. read more

Hobos has been our go to Burger place and now for the third time served under cooked food. They are very accommodating with replacing and refunding but what cook cant cook a consistent burger! Amateur hour. read more

I would say the service was terrible but honestly I have no idea. They sat us and no one came over to take our order for 15 minutes. Wait staff were standing around chatting at the bar so they weren't extremely busy. There were a lot of dirty tables and the parking lot could use some lighting. Can't comment on the food unfortunately. read more

This is one of the dirtiest restaurants I have seen. We walked in (on a Monday 10/15/2023) at 8:10pm, hours State they close at 9pm but the hostess ignored us for so long at the front door that we left because I think they didn't want to seat more people. As she was ignoring us, she was cleaning a table by dropping all the food onto the floor. The floors were disgusting, it looked like they had not sweep the entire day. It wasn't just a few crumbs, it was food and more. I couldn't believe that no one even looked at us while we waited to to try to dine in. We waited for 10 minutes and then decided to just leave. No acknowledgement at all. I would not recommend this place based on the lack of service but really because of how dirty it was. The hostess really should be trained better regarding service and cleaning. read more

Good food (especially box car taters) but seriously filthy. Walking thru the back entrance hallway is wet and dirty. The booths are filled with crumbs. The ceilings leak. Just not a good look while eating :/ read more

I'm going with 3 stars to balance my 1 and 5 star experience. This option was my choice as the new one was packed and I had a good experience here in the past. So we go here around 8:45 PM and sat outside. The band was playing and Hoboritas were the special of the night. The waitress comes back and tells us that there are no more margaritas, which is fine so we just stick with soft drinks. As we wait on the drinks, the waitress tells us that there is going to be a wait on the food, which was fine since we went to celebrate a high-school graduation. Less than three minutes later, she comes back and tells us that there was an accident and that the kitchen is now closed. I get callouts or a busy night, but it was not even 9:05 by that time. Extremely disappointing outcome. read more

We've eaten at the Rock Hill location...not my fav .very loud inside because of the high ceilings..outside seating is very nice. We needed dinner last night and we're in Ft Mill. Wow, cute place. Not so loud. The burger was out of control..perfectly cooked rare and very juicy. I had the one with fried green tomato and pimento cheese. Loved it. Fiance had the zombie..a sloppy Joe type sandwich which was very good too read more

Didn't eat there, but the atmosphere is UNREAL! Go soon, they fill up fast. Outstanding service and conversation. Above and beyond! read more

Very cool place, plenty of seating, and the food is above average and service is ok. We went in a Friday night and were seated right away, we had the specials which were Mojotos, well prepared would definitely recommend. Food we went with the fried pimento cheese, and 2 burgers....sooo much food! Burgers were very large came with a side so we paid extra for the box tots and onion rings. More quantity than quality in my opinion, we had the T Money which was q burger between two grilled cheeses. burger was cooked to temp and juicy but lacked seasoning and taste pretty bland. Onion rings were very good, the tots were a disappointment...it was mashed potatoes tots, not shredded potatoes like it should be. Not amazing but not bad and worth the price. Will be back to try other dishes for sure read more

Amazing burgers! I had the Bandit burger and it was absolutely amazing! The meat was seasoned perfectly and the sauce was very tasty. I had the fries on the side and they were pretty good as well. The hostess at the front and waiter that served me were both very kind. Great Place will go again soon. read more

Absolutely love Hobos - been many times, love the service and have tried most of the menu, love it all. Wonderful family friendly place

I had been stalking Hobo's Instagram since I moved to the area a few months ago. I was recently in the area around lunch time and finally stopped in. Parking can be a bit tricky depending on when you are here but there seems to be spots if you don't mind a small walk. We picked an unfortunate time to dine here for the first time because when we walked in we had a long wait which was then explained to us that a large number of employees did not come to work and that the restaurant was extremely short staffed. I must admit, these employees that did show up did a tremendous job serving us despite being obviously very short staffed. The service was great the entire time. The food was amazing and everything had huge portions. We shared an order of cheese fritters and I had an adult key lime pie milkshake. I had the grown up grilled cheese and my husband had the chicken and waffle sandwich. We loved everything and will most absolutely be back. read more

Hobo's is a great downtown spot that is well liked by my employer and coworkers. I have had Hobo's twice now because of their want to order from there or go there for lunch. I really want to love Hobo's and I think they have potential, but it is just not there for me yet. The first time I ordered the grown up grilled cheese with their pasta salad to go. I would be interested in trying this again, but this was probably my fault for ordering a grilled cheese to go, it is never really that good once you get something to go as the gooey-ness and goodness of a grilled cheese just goes away during travel. So could this have potential - sure, but it was not good as a to-go option - even after reheat. The second time was in person and it was the chicken and waffle sandwich. This was huge - just give me half as an option and I'm good (really because it did awful as reheated leftovers). I kind of left disappointed with this. I thought the execution of the chicken and the waffle was good, but it ended up dry as there was just not enough of the maple aioli. I would almost just prefer that they serve it as chicken and waffles and let me add aioli/syrup as I need. There look like other great options to try (especially those milkshakes). I'll probably give it a third try (probably even more knowing my coworkers love the place), but I still need to be won over for me to try it on my own. read more

I've yet to have a bad meal here. The burgers have always been juicy and full of flavor and even when it's busy the service has remained reasonably prompt; I also recommend the Adult Shakes. With a name like Hobo's of course it'll overlook the train tracks and between the deck area and the grassy area below there's almost always a place to enjoy a meal and take in the views sitting outside. read more

Meh. The first time we went the service sucked. The food was great. The second time the service sucked. We had to hunt someone down just to get a drink order in after waiting 20 min. Then it took over an hour to receive our semi warm food. read more

Great food and awesome service. Our waiter was the best. Will be going back. Parking was rough on a Friday night but parking lot in the back but you got to be patient. read more

Burger joint in downtown Ft Mill. Family friendly that offers a variety of burgers, sandwiches, milkshakes and drinks. Went on a Saturday evening and it was packed. Had about a 20 min wait for 2 ppl. The hostess that night 1/21 wasn't friendly at all but our waiter Angel was fantastic. She was very patient in allowing us time to explore the menu and ask a lot of questions. Very very hospitable. I went with the Grilled Cheese burger (can't think of it's official name) but it was huge! Whatever cheese they use for the grilled cheese was delicious and what I loved about the "burger" was the left over bread that didn't get eating with the patty I could eat alone as a grille cheese sandwich! The Cajun fries that accompanied my burger were also very good. I loved dipping them in the hobo sauce. The garlic aioli was not good to me. We also tried the buffalo shrimp and they were good. Very big but eat them fast because they will get soggy soon after. read more

We were in the area and the name sounded interesting so we stopped for lunch. It was ok but not a place I will go out of my way to go to again I ordered a burger medium well and it was cooked medium well. My side was fries. I asked for them to be extra crispy no salt. They got the no salt part right but far from crispy, more like limp and warm. Friends ordered shrimp tacos and enjoyed them along with chili cheese fries with onions. They were average. read more

Hobo's was amazing! Their outdoor seating area is adorable and their peach margarita was delicious and refreshing! You HAVE to get the chicken and waffle sandwich. It is one of the best things I have ever eaten! I got their fries and asked them to make them cajun style! They were so good and flavorful. Be sure to ask for a side of the horseradish aioli to dip them in! read more

I just went back and looked at the really early reviews I did on Hobos and not only am I glad they have made it, but they have improved and excelled in many areas over the years. They have the best Happy Hour in the area with $3 pints until 7 pm. While I don't often have food while I'm there, the bar service is excellent, especially when Amber is working. It has become a neighborhood hangout on Monday, and the restaurant is consistently packed. Great to see their success read more

Fish and fries is always good. Fish sandwich is also one of my favs. The patty melt sandwich I tried was definitely better than expected. Definitely a regular go to for some fast pick up and good basic eats. read more

Very disappointed experience and will give you the pluses and the minuses. There were four of us for dinner. Very great menu. Burgers are their forte, plus salads, sandwiches, appetizers, wine and beer and some unusual milk shakes. Separate beer menu which had lots of craft beers. Wine by the glass had a number of whites and reds. All good. Burgers came on brioche or sourdough bread. At least 15 combos or you could build your own. All four of us ordered burgers, one built his own, the rest of us off the menu. The burgers were cooked to order and they did a good job on doing so. Will say that the shrinkage of the burgers was significant. My wife merrily ate her burger and suddenly realized that the meat had only occupied half of the bun and she was left with bread. So far so good: great menu and cooked nicely. But the sides were awful...so bad that we did not eat any of the onion crisps or french fries. They were soaked in oil and soggy. Must have taken training from the Ballantyne JJs to get those soggy, oily onion rings a perfect match. I was tempted to squeeze a handful, but showed the waiter the four piles of goo instead. He immediately offered to substitute and we chose the slaw, which was excellent. Course cabbage with a mildly vinegar mayo. Good crunch and flavor. The sides were just awful. If you do venture into Hobo's, avoid the fried onions and potatoes. If they could get control on the sides the place would certainly rate three stars and positive reviews. Now you know, so act wisely. read more

Every time I have a long drive anywhere I never really plan ahead on where to eat. It's usually just some random fast food. I finally got tired of it all and checked Google Maps to see what each town offered along my route. It didn't take long to find Hobo's on the map and all the pictures had me sold. It's just a few minutes off I-77 and even though there's a parking lot behind the restaurant I had to park in the grass and pray I didn't get a ticket. Prayer works. As soon as I was inside I knew it was the kind of place I was craving. As I was by myself, I took a seat at the bar and ordered a beer. Settling on one item on the menu was tougher than expected. Everything sounded good. Martin's Melt, a patty melt with grilled mushrooms and onions on sourdough turned out to be an excellent choice. Portion size exceeded expectations and I was barely able to finish even my Cajun fries and garlic aioli. Hobo's is exactly the kind of place every town needs and I plan on stopping again on my drive back to Georgia. If you're a Fort Mill local, you already know Hobo's. If you're just passing through on a long drive though, this is THE place you need. read more

May be the worst food in greater charlotte area. I don't think they actually make any of the food fresh. Meat tastes old and flavorless Like it was frozen. Friend felt sick a few hours after ingestion. Would not recommend. Fast food is tastier and safer. read more

We've been coming to Hobos since it opened. We went this last time and the service was horrible. Our waitress Lena was so inappropriate as she was only interested in trying to get noticed by one of the Men at our table ( he had a wedding ring on and didn't even give her the time of day.) She was relentless and made our family dinner uncomfortable. It was so rude and inappropriate and everyone noticed at our table. Also our food came out cold, it was a very unpleasant dinner to say the least!! read more

Been coming here for a few years, staff has never been super attentive. Food quality has gone wayyyy down in the last year or so. Probably won't come back anytime soon since this is clearly a management issue read more

We were disappointed! We walked in and sat at bar on outside side. The female bartender said chairs were available inside instead, so we went in. She came and asked for our drink order. I told her mine and my husband a water. I was busy looking at menu and talking to a group of women next to us. For maybe 3 mins There were 3 men sitting where my husband and I sat outside with drink already!!! They just arrived and had beverage served!!! I still never got mine after 5 mins. Finally the bartender passes us off to the another woman who works the milkshakes. She asked for my drink order.?!?!?. I said, the same drink I asked for before those other gentleman were even sitted. She redirected me to ordering. I ordered food, the BLT. The fried tomato was a burn , like to oil needed changed on the fryer. The fries we all the burn and hard remnants. So don't discriminate against an older woman/couple to flirt or make money off the 3 guys and ignore us.. To give credit to the milkshakes lady, she was fast and on top of things. read more

Visited Pucker Butt hot pepper sore in Fort Mill and stopped for lunch at HoBo's. Nice friendly staff who seated us in the airy patio with partial view of old town. Nice mixed multigenerational crowd and fun 80s music was playing. Fans kept us cool on the patio. Noticed picnic tables in grassy area suitable for larger groups. Sunrise burger was ok, cooked as ordered and well-seasoned. Restrooms were clean and service was good, but employees didn't seem happy. Maybe just getting the day started. Suggest putting trash can closer to the door in restrooms so guests don't throw towels on restroom floor. read more

Let me preface this by saying I used to love this restaurant. A series of mistakes had led me to stop frequenting them as often as I had. But tonight I had a takeout order and everything was a disappointment. The side was wrong, fine, it's happened before and I let it go. However half the fries were burnt, the other undercooked. Now the chicken tacos have gone from two tenders in a tortilla to cutting a tender in half and calling it two. Very underwhelming. read more
