Our family had been up in the mountains for a couple days seeing the changing of the leaves and said they had mostly eaten fast food and were so sick of it and wanted something really good to eat for lunch. We knew just where to take them! They couldn't help themselves, they ordered and ate the fried chicken and the meatloaf and all the vegetables and peach cobbler !! and enjoyed every bite. Picture here is my plate which I also enjoyed every bite! I always do. They are the best and the sweetest ladies.

Great experience all around. From the moment we sat down, the service was outstanding -- friendly,…read moreattentive, and genuinely welcoming without being overbearing. That kind of hospitality always elevates a meal. The onion rings were the absolute star. Perfectly crisp and golden on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned just right. Easily some of the best I've had and worth ordering every time. The burgers were solid and cooked as ordered, and the buns deserve special mention -- super soft, fresh, and a great complement to the patties without falling apart. The pimento cheese, however, was a bit underwhelming and didn't quite deliver the flavor punch I was expecting. Overall, excellent service, standout onion rings, and good burgers make this a place I'd happily return to.

We ordered the jalapeno fries, a steak sandwich with fries and a Groove burger. The jalapeno fries were good. A different take on a"popper" but tasty. The steak sandwich was very flavorful and full or sirloin. Hogie roll was as perfect. The groove burger was good. The bacon and cheddar had the most flavor profile so everything else took a backseat to it. I expected more from the name sake burger. Overall, it was a good stop. We'd order the steak sandwich again for sure but try others things for the remainder.

We've eaten here enough times that it feels less like a restaurant visit and more like part of the tradition. Tonight I ordered the Blue Plate Special with hamburger steak smothered in grilled onions, collard greens, green beans, cornbread, and a big bowl of Brunswick stew. My unsweet tea stayed filled thanks to Rhonda, who was serving tables while also managing the restaurant. We learned that Hot Rod's started the evening with three servers scheduled. Business was slow, so one server was sent home. Naturally, that's when things picked up. Even so, Rhonda and the remaining server kept everything moving smoothly, and we never felt neglected during our visit. The Brunswick stew was excellent and gave us an unexpected opportunity for comparison. Earlier in the day we had Brunswick stew at Fresh Air Bar-B-Que. Hot Rod's version was chunkier, with larger pieces of meat, more noticeable vegetables, and a slight kick of spice. The Fresh Air version was smoother and more finely blended. Both were excellent, but they were definitely different styles. The hamburger steak was flavorful, the green beans and collard greens tasted like proper Southern vegetables, and when the Texas Pete hit the table there was only one thing to say: "My man, Texas Pete goes on the collards." Then came the surprise ending. We learned that peach cobbler was half price today. Unfortunately, they were out. Or so we thought. A fresh cobbler was still in the oven. For the next several minutes, the suspense reached maximum peach. Finally, the cobbler emerged from the kitchen and was served à la mode. The French gave it a classy name. The South perfected the application. Warm peaches, a buttery cobbler topping, and a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream that immediately melted with a purpose made for the perfect ending to the meal. It was absolutely worth the wait. Hot Rod's continues to be one of our favorite stops in Social Circle, and after another great meal, I have no doubt we'll be back again the next time we're in town.

It has the 50's diner look with chairs, booths, bar stools & cornucopia of old time paraphernalia scattered, smothered & covered across the walls & tables. Much of the accouterments are entertaining to read. Golden fries, delicious patty melts & "Hunker Down Dawg"s, burgers & more. Clean bathrooms & friendly hometown service where everybody knows your name (if you're a local). A health score of 89 keeps it from getting a 5 star rating. It's also veteran owned & supporters of police. Check it out in Social Circle. Don't forget yummy homemade desserts.

Everything on the menu and coming from the kitchen looked good. The thick burgers are huge. I prefer a medium rare burger and mine was cooked nicely; however, my partner who ordered their burger as medium rare at the same time had theirs come out medium well to well done, so seems it can be a bit inconsistent. The staff are very friendly and the restaurant very cute inside as well. Overall it was a pleasant visit and we would try it again so would recommend for a lowkey lunch.

I was disappointed by the service I received at The Traveling Hobo Cafe. I ordered a hamburger with…read moreno cheese, but when I checked my receipt it didn't reflect that request. I told the young woman taking orders, and she assured me "it's no cheese" even though it didn't show. When my burger arrived, it had cheese. I asked if they could remake it without cheese (because I can't have any at all). A more senior staff member said she would "just take the cheese off," which wasn't acceptable. When I asked again for a new burger or a refund, she refused both--with an attitude. I ended up leaving still hungry and feeling ignored. I hope the cafe reads feedback like this and improves; their menu might have potential, but I can't recommend them based on my experience.

We waited by the door for about 10 mins before a table opened up. Servuce were fast and staff friendly. Our food took a little longer to come understandable since it was crowded. Kudos to kitchen. I ordered a chicken Caesar wrap with a side of fries. My toasted spinach wrap was slightly crispy, the Caesar filling was tasty, not drenched with dressing and the fries were hot and crispy. All tasted perfect. I always prefer a lighter hand on salt and this place did it perfectly. My dish was too much for me and took half the wrap home My husband's crispy chicken sandwich with side salad was huge too. He thought it was good, not blown away but good.
