Sadly, we tried making a reservation prior to coming to eat with our family. Rudely the hostess answered and said that if we didn't have a party of 10 or more no reservations could be made and hung up. That was a bit rude, but I let it go. We arrived to Hobo's at 7:20 on Friday night, the hostess said it was about 20-35 minutes. It's currently 8:42pm and we are still waiting to get seated. We had a party of 7 (a nine year old and my husband's grandmother). They sat couple of different of people in front of us. I checked in with the hostess just looked and realized we waited over an hour now. I asked if they could add a table to the side of a booth. The manager came over and apologized to my family. Once we were seated, we order appetizers- grouper bites and their spud nachos. They were delicious. The manager took care of the appetizers, thankful for her making that situation better. Our food came quickly, the waiter was sweet and attentive, our food was delicious. I must be honest, if I could rate the wait and the hostess interaction I will give it a 1 star. Our food I will give it a 4 star. Hope next time it's a better experience. read more

Hobo's - Drink was the cherry picker lemonade! Must try ! - American Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

Love the Cobb salad here! Check it out with blackened chicken and balsamic vinaigrette dressing.

Food was delicious, it's a burger place so any of their burgers are good. Milkshakes are overpriced and just alright but all of the sides and burgers are 10/10. Service was fast and the waiters are kind. Don't have to wait too long for a meal. The ambiance is very chill, dogs are allowed outside and they have a play area for kids and families along with good outdoor seating. read more

I had honey sriracha wings and a side salad. Both were great. We were seated outside and was told it was heated. There is a heater above the bar area only outside but you don't get much heat off it. One man live band. Good selection of beer and cocktails. read more

Nothing special Would not go there for good food. Definitely worth going there for atmosphere read more

This was my first visit to Hobo's. My wife and I stopped by on a Sunday for an early dinner around 5pm. It was pretty busy considering it was cloudy outside, and the patio was full despite the weather. There were only about 3 seats available inside which were tables, the booths were all full. This appears to be a very popular place, since the atmosphere is very casual, has plenty of tv's and the friendly staff. I had the salad (no tomatoes, no onions, with extra cheese), and an order of 6 wings. The salad was a very good portion size , and the wings were very flavorful. I look forward to visiting this location again, as the menu has a lot of items that sound very good, and from the other guests they seemed very pleased with the food and service. Good portion sizes, reasonably priced. read more

Stopped for lunch while passing through town. Being dog friendly was a huge perk, as we had our dog with us. Service- Things started out a little rough..we were seated and no one came to greet us for a good 10 -15 minutes. Once the server came over all was good. She was pleasant and apologetic, a HUGE plus was the manager also coming over to personally apologize for the inconvenience. She also periodically checked on us throughout our meal. Food- we ordered 2 buffalo chicken sandwiches, and a kids chicken tenders. EVERYTHING was delicious! We are very picky when it comes to chicken and this was non fatty and juicy! Atmosphere- loved having the option to sit outside. We really enjoyed the quaint small town vibe while dining. We will return if we are ever in the area again! read more

My hubby and I love Hobo's. Last night I had shrimp tacos with a side salad and they were simply delish. Cody was our waiter and he was very attentive! Nice to have good help! read more

First, The customer service here from the minute you walk in is inviting and friendly. Our waitress was very attentive and made sure we were ok throughout our meal . On to the food , I came here with coworkers because they thought you could do a lettuce wrapped burger option but they don't , bummer bc I'm sure most come here for the sandwich/burger menu items . I ended up ordering the southern salad with avocado , came with tomatoes and a mixture of black beans, corn , & pinto beans . No red onion though .... hmmmmmmmmmmmmm And to add chicken it was a $4up charge. I don't think avocado should even be in the description of this salad it was two slivers on the top kinda like a garnishment. I ordered extra beforehand bc i love avocado , honestly it was the reason I got the salad bc i thought there would be enough . The avocado was brown and even with my extra slivers it was less than a quarter of an avocado half and I wish I would've known they charged $1.50 for extra that's more than a whole avocado at Harris teeter , but does anyone actually come here for the $9 salads well $10 In my case . Other orders included: -Fried chicken and waffle sandwich with chips ,-He said it was ok, the chips were chewy -Fried Fish . She loved it and she said the handcut fries were good as well. All in all if you're a sandwich, burger , beer , milkshake enthusiasts I'm certain there will be a yummy option for you here . I'm just a gluten free avocado lover that couldn't indulge . read more

I have had better food AND service from a frozen dinner. The place has a distinct oder or urine. There is no way I would ever return to this slop pit read more

I like Hobo's. I don't have any complaints or anything to really criticize about the food, the atmosphere, my experiences, or anything else. I've always had great service, the food is good, etc. But, people make this out to make legendarily epic burgers... and, well... they don't. Don't get me wrong, they are GREAT burgers!! But, people really hype this place up a lot more than what you actually get. Regardless, you definitely wanna visit Hobo's at least once! read more

Stopped by Hobo's which was recommended by my sister in law. I was eating light this day and went with a classic Cobb salad with a twist. I removed the chicken and added diced mushrooms which the kitchen was nice enough to accommodate for me. I really enjoyed the salad, it was the right amount and made me full for a good part of the day. My wife had the special strawberry salad with steak on top. She is crazy lol she claims it was very good. It was a special so I doubt it will be there until the strawberry festival happens again. We also had some boxcar taters which I think is a meal in itself, even though it's an appetizer. We also had the buffalo shrimp, I honestly don't remember what it tasted like because I only ate 2 pieces but my sister in law loved it. So I guess it was good. I really like the outdoor seating, very comfy and relaxing and the lawn area is good for groups if you want to do some team building with co-workers. I will be going back when I'm back in July. read more

This place is very dirty. Went to have dinner and ended up leaving after one quick beer and appetizer. Asked for a water to start and the color of the water had a yellow tint to it! Not a good sign at all. The bathrooms were disgusting and looked like they haven't been cleaned for awhile. Such a nice location, however This place is not worth a visit. read more

Had a cotton candy milkshake and their chicken and waffle sandwich. Both were very good. Casual feel that can get crowded easily. I look forward to coming back for happy hour - $2 domestic & $3 drafts read more

I've been many times and this place is good. Nice atmosphere and good wait staff. The only problem is they don't seem to know how to cook a burger to medium rare. Every time I've been and had a burger it is always over cooked. Otherwise, the other food they offer is pretty good. Nice place to come with family. read more

Excellent! - Hobo's burgers are the best! They are mouth-watering, savory goodness. I've gone many times and I've tried many of the burgers on the menu. Some, I would say are too much to handle, but there really is a burger on their menu for everyone. If you're undecided, trust me, this won't disappoint. Always order a burger and fries, this is what they are good at, I'd also get a side of their homemade ranch. It's not the healthiest choice, but again we're talking about a burger shop, and if this is what you're looking for, they some of the best burgers around. I can vouch for medium-rare, it's worth it. Overall, great place, they have a nice outside patio where you can eat with a group of friends. The only concern I've had on multiple occasions was bees around the patio but outdoors is just an optional section. read more

The special tonight was birria tacos. They ate borderline authentic! Amazing taste. Also, our waitress Lauren was very attentive.

1st time chicken wings dry and hard...want get them again 2nd time had the BLT... it was only bread and lettuce...couldn't even taste the bacon...want get it again Don't think I'll go back...my husband did say the chicken and waffle was pretty good read more

Yep... Done Here at 4 in the afternoon.. Got seated. Waited 10 minutes and no one came by to even take our drink order. Flagged down a hostess and she went to find someone and then came back to offer to take a drink order.. Told her we were ready to order and she was unprepared.. We left. Done. read more

First time trying hobos after hearing many great things about it. Ordered a Carolina burger and the taste was absolutely delicious. I like my burgers with some spice to it and the jalapeños were definitely there. read more

What I love about Hobo's is how they assemble their burgers. Especially things like string onions & avocado.

This was our first time here. We aren't sure why we hadn't stopped in sooner! Wow, the food was great! (And we finally had a sunny day, where we could enjoy the patio!). Their daily drink specials are fantastic, as well. My husband had the pork sandwich, which was quite good.. But the burger that I had was even better (I had the Sunrise burger), next time he thinks he will stick with a burger! (The pork sandwich was good, but the burger really was a step above). Our server was friendly, and the food came out at a perfectly reasonable time. The service was only slightly slow, BUT that was only because we went at a slightly off lunch hour time, and our server was the ONLY one that was there at the time, and was bar tending as well - so there is NO hit on that regarding the stars or my review. I look forward to coming back to enjoy the patio and food! read more

Called in the order at 5:57. My husband immediately left to pick it up. We live 1/2 a mile away. He ended up having to pick up the food himself on the counter almost 50 minutes later. The guy there knew his name and knew he was waiting on to go food. Never again. This place is poorly run by a bunch of kids. Our food was cold and not good. read more

My first intro to Hobo's was during the Friday Main Street event, they had a long wait time so we ordered food from their truck. They offered three things that night, brisket sandwich, quesadillas and one other item, which escapes me at the moment. I do recall LOVING the quesadilla, I think it was the sauce on it that made it so yummy. That experience led me to bringing some out of town guests to the restaurant. I was so looking forward to having that quesadilla again but turns out it wasn't on the restaurant menu. They are known for their burgers, I had the Mack and Mack, with onion strings. Burger was gigantic, I could only eat half. I enjoyed it but really enjoyed the onion strings. Everyone enjoyed their meal and agreed we'd all go back. read more

I have been eating at this place for a few years now and I have always loved it. The last time we went there was a host named Nate who NEEDS TO BE FIRED he was the most incompetent host I have ever meet. He was on his phone the whole time and we had to say "hello" for him to acknowledge us and then he said "oh didn't see you there" WE WERE RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM and then he acted like he didn't know what he was supposed to do next and then I asked him if he was ok because he was just staring at us he said he was ok just new (I later found out from another host he wasn't new and had lied to us) this child needs to be fired and never work in the service industry again. read more

All the food we have had at Hobos has been delicious. It's easy, bar and grill food, but very good. Our daughter loves the outdoor eating area and there are usually families with kids out there playing in the yard area. It's a great choice for families with kids especially on a nice day! My daughter always asks to go to Hobos! read more

While attending open houses on a Saturday afternoon with my family we lost track of time and grew hungry. As we drove we saw the BIG HoBo sign and decided to go check them out after pulling it up on Yelp while parked out back. The reviews drew us in and once inside the open floor plan and friendly staffers were great additions. This place has a great open floor plan and the outdoor space was pretty green and had a couple of bags games set up. Our server was very attentive and took our order promptly. We ordered the Fries Green Tomato appetizer which is served over grits and topped cowboy caviar. The tomatoes were yummy but the show stopper was tied between the cowboy caviar and the grits both perfect accents. I ordered the Black Bean Burger: *It was extremely dry and below basic Our son had chicken tenders: *They appeared ok, however he bit one and didn't eat anymore he only ate the fries and he isn't a fry type of kid. I must add that he doesn't eat meat much either but if it's super yummy he does. My husband ordered the Chicken and Waffle sandwich: *He stated that the Waffle was to doughy. He enjoyed the honey type drizzle on the chicken. Our son even took a bite of his sandwich. My husband didn't finish his food which says a lot. I was reminded by our server that I mentioned wanting a milk shake and she offered up on in which we allowed my son since they didn't have almond or coconut milk for me (I'm eating Vegan 90% and 10%Vegetarian). He enjoyed a cookie and cream shake that he drank down good and fast. It was great to check this local place out #EatLocal but I personally wouldn't return unless they revamp the menu and offer more Vegan or Vegetarian options as the current Black Bean Burger was a No No for me as it's tooo DRY. read more

Normally a great place to grab a meal with the family. Not so much today as it was blasting heavy metal and seemed to even turn it up when we were the only ones on the patio for lunch. Not sure the balance of the clientele was into it either. read more

Hobo's has the best hamburgers in Fort Mill - we absolutely love this place & eat there often. My husband, who doesn't really like hamburgers, likes eating here. They also have a nice outside area, if you'd rather not sit inside. read more

Hobo's is a fantastic food and beverage joint that has a modern twist on many of your favorite classic Americana dishes. It also has a decent selection of draft and bottled brews that will satisfy the most discriminating craft beer aficionados. We've been here a dozen times of more and have always enjoyed ourselves. The atmosphere is lively and family friendly with a nice amount of seating inside and out. We prefer the outside area when it's open, but the inside is just as enjoyable. The bar area serves both sides when the rollup windows are employed. I'd say the value you get for the price is exceptional and there is usually seating even during the crowded times. A few more places to sit inside might make it a bit more cozy, but it works and the kitchen and wait staff seem to be able to keep up with the service even at peek times. And by the way. The house chips are to die for. read more

We arrived at 7:00pm. We were told it was a 25 minute wait. We asked the hostess how much longer so she seated us. We waited another 20 minutes and no waiter. We had a baby with us so it was getting late to be out. We finally received our food after 2 hours. My husband's burger was raw and he ordered it well done. Everyone in the place was getting drunk and we couldn't even get our food! When we did get it, it definitely wasn't worth the wait. read more

First time in, we are new to the area! Empressed by portions , service and taste of the food. We are definitely be back !

Yes, I'm a fan.....as the Yelp description of five starts says. This place is as good as it comes, y'all, for casual dining. The location is superb - downtown Fort Mill. The price is EXCELLENT! Most items under $10. The atmosphere was inviting. They have indoor and outdoor seating, large screen TVs, a play area for the kiddos, and are next door to a beautiful gazebo in town. It's just all in all a very inviting and pleasant experience. Did I mention the prices are low? Yes, that was one of the best parts of our experience. We went with a group of middle school kids this past Friday night. They were dressed for their school formal and we, the parents, stayed for dinner and then took them to the dance from there. We all seemed to have a great time on the veranda. The staff was accommodating and the food tasted and looked very fresh and scrumptious. WE WILL BE BACK, HOBOS!!! read more

We came into Fort Mill to wander through the shops and decided to have lunch at Hobo's. This we our first time there. Our burger was delicious as were our spiked shakes. I highly recomend the Key Lime shake if you are a fan of lime. We sat outside to enjoy our sunny day, but I felt service was a tad slow and I wonder if this we the reason. That said I do hold restaurants to the high "Bar Rescue" standard of 15 min and it was maybe 20 min from time ordered to first item out. Our server was perfectly attentive and friendly. read more

This place was awesomeness!!! The jumbo tater tots were fire with the sauce they have. We showed up with 20 guys and had a bunch of appetizers and they were all great. I recommend the shrimp appetizer it was perfect amount of spicy. I had the flank tacos and was not disappointed at all. Definitely this town has some amazing restaurants to choose from make this one one of yours. read more

My husband and I came to Hobo's last summer and did not have the best experience. Figured its been a good 7/8 months, so we'd try it out again. Arrived around 8.15 and was told there would be a 45 minute wait for a table of 4. We asked if we could take the beeper and head opposite to the brewery since it was a long wait- no problem. We got to the bar and within I'd say, 8 minutes, the buzzer went off. That's fine that a table was ready, but don't tell us we have 45 mins to kill to enjoy a round of drinks. We had to go back and ask them to buzz us again next table available, since we all had to finish our drinks. We finally made it back to Hobo's when we were buzzed again, and were offered a table outside- right in front of the band. I love live music, but this was difficult to hear conversation because it was so loud outside. Our waitress is what really ruined the night though. We placed our orders and it took over an hour to get them. My friend ordered the burger with the egg on it and it was missing the egg when it arrived. My other friend ordered the steak tacos and they arrived completely cold. My husband ordered the chicken and waffles, which were good, however I ordered the vagabond burger and the "homemade brioche bun" was cut so uneven and it was so dry, it was difficult to chew or swallow! Our server took our friend's plates back to the kitchen to be fixed and when she brought them back, she didn't apologize and did not even return to check on us again once we were eating to see if everything was alright. We had no napkins or silverware the entire time. She did however, check on the band about 5 times during our meal and provide them with shots of alcohol without hesitation- Remind me, who are the paying customers here?! When she came to clear our plates, we ordered a bucket of bud light ($13 for 5 bottles). It took her 20 minutes to make it back over to our table again, and when she did she asked "Do you want your checks now?"... I asked her "I guess we'll take the bucket of beer off the check since we never received it then?" She said "Oh my bad.. I completely forgot to put that in for you guys". Are you kidding me? At this point it was so late, there were only about 3 tables eating out back because every one else had cleared out... and she forgot about us?! When we got the bill, everything was charged as ordered. It was just a shame we spent over 2 hours there, food was wrong, waited a long time for drinks that were forgotten about, and had a very unhelpful waitress and she couldn't even comp us a bucket of beer for the trouble we had at dinner. Been here 2 times now, both experiences were terrible- thats enough for me. Won't be coming back here again. That really sucks because of the great location and atmosphere- It could really be a great place if the staff could get their act together. read more
