All American burger and fries.
Shelley P.

I was so happy to see the Hob Nob reopen and look forward to many more visits. I like that they have a short menu and focus on making what they serve really good. We tried the All American burger and the one with the jalapeños. We also ordered fries and onion rings. At the time of our visit there were 4 draft beer choices with one being local and bonus.... An IPA! Place your order at the counter and they bring your food when it is ready. The food was hot and fresh. Fries and onion rings were crispy and yummy. We had to ask for the milkshakes. We aren't sure if they were forgotten or just took longer. Sitting outside and watching the traffic and people is what I like to do. However it isn't for everyone. If you want an air conditioned experience, this isn't the place. Parking can be a challenge! Be patient or don't go during a peak lunch or dinner time!

This place recently reopened under new management and the lines are INSANE! I got there at around 11.45 am and the line was already long. It was about a 20 minute wait to place an order. It's a good sign for the restaurant that it's so popular but they do need to figure out a way to process orders quicker. Maybe it will calm down in a few weeks. Parking is also a nightmare. Their parking lot is very small (about 9 spaces) and there is no on street parking near by, so best bet is park a few blocks away and walk. Food came out within 5 minutes, they got the order right, and the food was DELICIOUS!! Atmosphere is definitely that retro vibe. Outside seating as before (no a/c so it's very authentic). I'll definitely be back in a couple of weeks when hopefully the lines are not as long.

I'm happy to report that the Hob Nob is open again and the food is better than ever! Parking is tough, so I had to park across the street.

This part is not their fault, but there were sooooo many "love bugs" at their entrance. I could not…read morestand out there without freaking out. Once our large group was seated, there were fans around us, so the bugs went away. I am from California, so I am not used to good service lol, so I was pleasantly surprised with all the "Yes ma'am," "Thank you, ma'am," etc. The server was nice and a total trooper with the number of people he had to keep track of because we all had separate checks. He did an amazing job, and we were extremely grateful. I tried their Housemade Crab Dip, and it was delicious. It was a great portion, really creamy, and well seasoned. For my meal, I had the Admiral's Platter. Everything was delicious, not too oily, and I loved the dipping sauces that came with it. Overall, it was a great experience with great service. If I'm ever back in Sarasota, I would love to come back.

We sat on the water and enjoyed a beautiful view. The decor and atmosphere is beachy and relaxing. The cocktails were good. The parking is convenient. The bad part that made it disappointing. The food was not great. My grouper sandwich was fair. It was kinda bland. The slaw was dry. The fish and chips was odd. The fries were decent. The fish was inside a very thick coating of batter. The crab legs were good. The coconut shrimp were good but too heavily battered. The green beans on the side were totally unseasoned. The worst was the chicken sandwich. It was tasteless with a a thick greasy batter. It was bad. Once we decided to send it back our server took forever to return to table to check on us. We were mid meal before we checked on. My daughter decided to pickup something else at a different restaurant after we left. How do you mess up a chicken sandwich? Unless you are just coming in for drinks(or crab legs) I would recommend a different choice of restaurant. The view adds one star to the rating.

I'm slightly ashamed to admit that I've lived here for over a year and somehow completely slept on…read morethis place. Thanks to the recommendation of a total stranger, my husband and I finally checked it out earlier this week. Naturally, I had already done my due diligence by reading approximately 22 million Yelp reviews and looking at pics before walking in. I'd narrowed down my choices, but after chatting with our server, I went with the lobster burger. First of all- who decided to put the words lobster and burger together? It sounded confusing. And possibly unappetizing. Turns out, I owe whoever invented it an apology. The sweet server swiftly delivered a buttery brioche bun stuffed with big chunks of lobster, crisp lettuce, and a juicy tomato. I also requested a side of melted butter because...obviously. I feel like if there's lobster involved, melted butter is non-negotiable. Crispy fries rounded out the meal, and it was so ridiculously good that I pretty much unintentionally halted all dinner conversation to enjoy the party in my mouth. My husband ordered the ahi tacos with a side of duck fat fries. He inhaled every last bite of the tacos. They were piled high with fresh ahi and all the fixings, and the duck fat fries were rich and savory perfection- crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, exactly as fries should be. The restaurant itself is pretty small, with just a handful of tables inside plus some outdoor seating. I can definitely see this place being packed during peak hours and high season, so plan accordingly. We'll absolutely be back sooner than later.

Service was wonderful and attentive Great draft list (12…read morebeers on tap) I had a Michelob Amber Bock and a Czech Pilsner (both tasty) The food was very good. The duck fries were amazing and the Steakhouse burger was tasty. My lady had one of their island bowls with shrimp and she enjoyed it. I can't say anything negative about this place. If I want to nitpick the establishment is located inside a strip mall and wedged in the corner between Birkenstock and a cafe. It is very small with inside seating for approximately 20 people and has some outdoor space as well. All in all a great place and worth going to.
