The service was excellent! Our waitress was so informative and friendly! My friend loved her breakfast burrito. My Denver Omelette was okay. The cuts on the onions were off. Some of the onions were huge. It could have been hotter too. The toast was cold and dry. It should have come buttered. The fruit cup was delicious! read more

Prices were very high over $50 for breakfast for 2. I think $7.00 for coffee is out of line too.

Came to brunch at 11:30 on a Sunday with a group of 4 and had a pretty good time. A good option if you're in the area and need a spot for breakfast or brunch. Pros: - Easy to get a table - Plenty of parking - Good variety of food for a classic breakfast - I ordered the Hobo Supreme Skillet and I was pretty happy with it. My partner ordered one of the French toasts and it was pretty plain. Cons: - While our server was attentive, I felt a little rushed. The bill was brought before we were asked if we needed anything else. And it wasn't explained to us that we needed to pay up front. - The restaurant smelled a little like bleach. Perhaps they mopped the floor recently, but it was kind of gross and off-putting. read more

I feel like this was spot on for a diner experience. The breakfast food was good. The eggs were cooked as expected, the biscuits and gravy were fine (not great), and the hash browns were good once you added a little salt and pepper. Coffee refills were offered regularly, soda as well. C ordered chocolate chip pancakes and those were actually shockingly good. The lunch menu looked a little light on options but I would lean toward heading here for breakfast anyway. They weren't swarmed in the morning but it was still solid food with good service. Will consider them as an option for breakfast going forward. read more

I go to Dairyland Restaurant in Madison and DeForest Family Restaurant...and until now Sir Hobo's in Sun Prairie...basic skillet meals..wife and I...over $40 for breakfast... they have cut down portions considerably...Two other restaurants mentioned bigger portions especially Dairyland ...$25-30...including egg surcharge and soda. Too bad, sir Hobo's has good service. Not going back...place usually packed after church...not the case anymore...get competitive and take more money to the bank...with more customers coming back. read more

We were visiting family in town and were looking for a place for brunch. We came here a couple times growing up and thought it would be a good option. We had 6 people in our party and they were able to sit us quickly, despite being pretty busy. The waiter wasn't the friendliest person, but they did their job well and I could tell they took it seriously. We ordered our food, and within 5ish minutes the food was already out to us, they were so quick! It also tasted really good and it seemed everyone was happy with their food. It was also reasonably priced. We would come back here when visiting again! read more

In short. Pretty average. Tried a couple options on the menu and everything is okay. From what I have had I can't imagine anything knocking someone's socks off The Irish Skillet was okay like I said. For $10-11 the portion is seemingly okay but I would have happily paid 2-4 dollars more for a larger portion. Biscuits and gravy were fine. A little seasoning could go a long way. The pancakes. Were again okay. Very generic (not saying that's a bad thing) it's just not going to make you say "it's the best you ever had". Prices are reasonable. Location is good with okay parking. Overall it's okay. It's definitely worth trying. read more

A local spot serving all the basics for breakfast from pancakes and waffles to skillets, eggs and sandwiches. Clearly family run and one of a kind and eating here will fill you up without breaking the banks. There were three of us in our group when we stopped by early on a Monday morning for breakfast and we pretty much had the place to ourselves. The menu covers all the breakfast classics so I decided on a pecan waffle and some bacon. Others in our group tried the skillet and some eggs. Food was decent quality, hot and arrived promptly. Pretty basic food overall. The best way to think of this place is a one-off Denny's or fancier I-hop. Good place for seniors and families. read more

I would leave 0 stars if I could. Paid $70 for 3 people. Food was absolutely terrible and lukewarm. Waited over an hour for food. Never coming back. read more

Ugh they try and pass off corn syrup as maple syrup. Then they come by and ask of everything is ok, and when you tell them wtf is this syrup, they ignore it... then why do you ask? If the customer service was better, I would have gladly given them a better review. But since they don't care about the client experience that kills the dishes they serve. read more

I haven't been here in years but it's still a super friendly place to eat. The prices are ridiculous. $3.49 for any drink you get. Yes, that includes coffee. Side of toast with your breakfast? One slice you butter. The food was good, service was great but the prices seemed greedy. read more

This breakfast spot was a pleasant surprise! Nice family owned restaurant with friendly staff. Comfortable welcoming dining area. My husband ordered the steak skillet and I had the Mediterranean omelette. The dishes were very tasty! We will definitely be back! read more

Simple menu, but they do it right. Awesome breakfast options, but we were there for the soup and sandwiches at lunch! Get there before 2 pm as they don't serve dinner! read more

We went back here for the second time since the remodel. Both times we had breakfast items. We've never had lunch or dinner food here, and from reading other reviews it would appear that is a good thing. The remodeling looks nice, and it's now a no-smoking establishment. But neither of these two aspects can apparently help the fact that your elbows and/or arms are going to stick to the tables. Maybe it's a trap! Like flies on sticky paper! Service was good both times, and breakfast food is solid. But if they can't keep the tables clean, what else is filthy dirty? read more

My husband and I were visiting the Sun Prairie area and stopped here for breakfast on a Saturday morning. We were seated right away, service was good, and the food was amazing! We liked it so much we even came back the next day and had the same wonderful experience. Wish we had a place like this in our home city. read more

I love this place for what it is. Is it going to wow an out of town guest? Probably not. But if you are looking for a diner to have solid breakfast food, then you are in luck. Sir Hobos excels at that. When I am craving a breakfast on the weekend, this is usually the place I go to. I love their sausage links and everything else I have had (eggs, hash browns, waffles) have been very good as well. I've taken a couple of others here and they very much enjoyed their meals as well. It's clean, food comes out quick, it's tasty, and service has always been solid. Never had a reason not to come back. It is just a good local breakfast spot. read more

children's menu has pancakes with sausage or bacon for 5.99. my child ordered the chocolate pancakes with bacon and was told that the chocolate chip ones dont come with bacon. so she has to order bacon as a side. they charged 3.99 for the bacon.. ridiculous the bacon came out under cooked so asked to make it crispy then came out burnt. so glad to pay almost as much as her meal for a side of burnt bacon. absolutely terrible. read more

Good portions, tasty food, and great coffee. All in a clean, comfy space. Friendly staff are quick to respond to needs (like a coffee refill). Kudos, Sir Hobo! read more

Chomped onto a hard peice of plastic in my breakfast burrito. In return I got $5 off my meal and the woman stated that it did not end up in the food from their kitchen? Wow. Never going there again and will be spreading the word. read more

Came here for breakfast on a Sunday around 10am. The place is pretty lit with natural lighting. Steady busy when we first got there but was seated at a booth right away and got greeted my our waiter. I ordered the tasty trios of cinnamon toast, egg and sausage for $8.99. I also got a glass of orange juice for $2.99, thought that was pretty steep. Food did not take long to come out. The cinnamon French toast was very good, I enjoyed it. The eggs and sausage links were good just like any places. For the pricing and portion it was fair. Overall I'd go back again. read more

We've been here for breakfast a few times. We have never had a bad experience with the service, but I wouldn't say that it is outstanding. We've actually had the same waitress 2 out of 3 times and she is fine at her job but lacks personality. As long as they get the order right and check on you, who cares? I will say that every time we are here, we see other guests complaining or arguing with staff. Sometimes it appears to be just entitled douchebags who like to complain, but the fact that we've seen it multiple times makes me think there may in fact be an issue with some of the servers. On to the most important thing, the food. We've only tried breakfast here, and it is very good. I love getting the bacon skillet. The hashbrowns are always cooked well and there is always a ton of crispy bacon mixed in. My favorite thing about this place is that they allow you to have a pancake with your meal instead of just toast. We love the chocolate chip and blueberry pancakes here. Overall it's a good option for a diner breakfast. We will back again I'm sure. read more

Spent $50 for 3 breakfasts and coffee on Mothers Day. Only request was for crispy hash browns. They not only came out lukewarm but barely cooked. Politely asked waitress to try again but came back moments later to say the cook said that's the way we serve them here...ridiculous to say the least...NEVER will be back! read more

You do not have an option to pick zero or I would have. Longtime customer berated by owner and daughter hostess blaming us failed credit card reader. Actually shouted a directive at me in front of other customers. I cannot imagine how work staff is treated. Needless to say, totally unprofessional owner and management and we will not return to this establishment and would encourage anyone who likes respect to first consider this warning. Quite sad business practices at Sir Hobo's from a 40 plus year service professional who knows the difference. read more

Was not impressed when I came for lunch. I ordered the ribeye steak sandwich with seasoned fries. The sandwich was very big but the steak was a really cheap cut of meat. I couldn't even take bites out of it, it was so tough. Every time I tried, the entire steak would just slide out from the bread. It was a pretty disappointing sandwich. I would not recommend. The seasoned fries were solid. I also tried their chicken noodle soup, which was really good and appeared to be homemade. The service was pretty poor. The waitress was not friendly at all. read more

I've tried all their eggs Benedict and each one is unique and delicious. If you like biscuits and gravy try the country style you won't be disappointed! read more

We stopped for breakfast based on some positive Yelp reviews Basic breakfast fare. Eggs, sausage, hash browns etc. The pancakes were over cooked and slightly rubbery. The offset was the biscuits and gravy. It was excellent. Sausage was better than average as well. The waitress did a fine job. Sadly the hostess/cashier, not so much For breakfast- a good choice read more

This is one of the more generic "family" places out there, but I actually did enjoy it. Now, I'm one of those folks who believes breakfast should be served three times a day, so my breakfast in the afternoon hit the spot. The sausage was tasty and the hashbrowns were just perfect. Someone else got the shrimp basket. While the shrimp itself was meh, the serving was huge, and the breading was quite good. I'm sure some other options are subpar; just reading the menu turned me off to a few of them, but for breakfast, this is your spot. read more

Absolutely horrible. The building has been recently remodeled because it burned. I'd guess the insurance company didn't cover a replacement broom, vacuum and cleaning supplies. My arms stuck to the new table, the floor was really littered with garbage and my silverware was dirty. Gross. It was 2pm on Sat and dead. No excuse for dirty. The waitress was really nice, I think her name was Sarah. She was personable and attentive. She's the only reason I'd give this place a star at all. I ordered a Gyro sandwich. It came with fries and a bowl of soup. I ordered Broccoli Cheese soup. I think if I heated up some Velveeta and added a gallon of water to it, then tossed in a bunch of dirty, uncut broccoli, I could duplicate the Sir Hobo recipe. I wish the rest of the meal was that good. When the Gyro arrived, it reeked of rotten deer carcass, the plate was filthy and the fries were colder than Alaska in December. I'm not joking. The Gyro tasted so bad that I had to spit a mouthful of it into a napkin and slug down a glass of water to cleanse the horse-s--t taste from my mouth. Sarah noticed that I hadn't eaten my food, she offered to remove it from the bill with out me asking. I would normally applaude that gesture, but some older foreign lady (I assume the owner) came over and told her not to do that. "I'll make you new sandwich," said the old lady. I declined. I figured I couldn't choke down another bite of the garbage they call food. I paid my 9 dollars for a lousy cup of liquid Velveeta and left. I bet the Dairy Queen across the parking lot is glad that Sir Hobo's is back open. I wonder how many people have done what I did... walk to DQ and had an ice cream cone to try to clean the aftertaste of death and decay from my mouth. Never again. I'd go to DQ instead. read more

We used to live in Sun Prairie years ago when we first moved to Wisconsin. The first place we ate at was Sir Hobos. At the time, the menu was really basic and not much seemed to be "homemade". To be honest, we stopped going there. As was mentioned below, there was a fire and they did a complete redo of the restaurant. The food seems a bit better. I do agree, though, with another "Yelper's" judgement on the cheese soup. Yuk. It's so thick, it heaps up on the spoon. I've eaten there a few times since the rebuild and it seems they are trying to change. I hope they try a bit harder this time. A note: No carpeting this time around. It's very noisy. And the TV's do not help. read more

Never wrote a review in my life but Sir Hobo's definitely deserves it. Visiting from out of town, the name caught my eye so i just had to go in, food was delicious, staff was inviting & sweet, and the restaurant had a really good feel to it. my waitress Stephanie was amazing. Thank you sir hobos! read more

We stopped for brunch on the way home from an overnight trip. Our food came out pretty quickly and was delicious. I was expecting Perkins-quality food and was happy to find it was much better! The decor was not what we expected - at all! Big screen tv, awesome rustic chairs at the tables, frosted glass and stone room dividers - it was nice! I ordered the Two Four You breakfast combo - 2 eggs, 2 pieces of bacon, 2 pieces of sausage, 2 pieces French toast. The only complaint I had was that the bacon was a little over cooked. The sausage was legit sausage - not like freezer links you can warm up in the microwave in 30 seconds. It was all good. Aaron had the Irish skillet - which he gets everywhere we go - it was good as well. Portions were great. We left feeling satisfied, but not like we over did it. Our waitress was so sweet and attentive - we tipped her 50% of the bill just for being so awesome. We are glad we stopped! read more

Ate here yesterday, had some good lunch at good $$. Saw my friend that works here, made some good business calls, talk business with my friend. Free Wi-Fi is always nice. Had a good and productive hour. I like Sir Hobos. I will come back. read more

Pretty good! I went for the first time with my mom a few weeks ago. She got a veggie skillet and I got chocolate chip pancakes with hash browns. She loved hers, I thought my pancakes were good, they just fell apart and were a little hard to pick up. But flavor was good! Decent prices, clean family friendly environment, and friendly staff. We went on a Sunday at 11am and didn't have to wait for a table. read more

The Waitress was very snotty to us. We had to get two drinks just to use a coupon. She don't listen to me and I said I don't want tomatoes or pesto, mayo. I am not ever going to return to that she was rude to us. read more

I want to write nice things.. I sooo want to write nice things.. so here goes.. the place has a nice warmth to it.. family friendly, which is always a plus for us... well that's it food- just not good.. wife's reuben- the corned beef tasted.. let's go with questionable. Kids got hot dogs, ugh, just buy a better brand people! I had the Gyro.. it was serviceable, a little heavy on the sauce, but fine. Service- waitress didn't give a d*mn about anything.. so yeah.. 2 stars.. maybe we will try again, but I don't think so read more

Will not be eating at Sir Hobos. I called to ask a couple questions about gluten free options. The phone was answered by a very rude woman who told me "Nope we're not a gluten free restaurant, so we don't have anything gluten free, no." I then asked if they use any thickener in their eggs or flour in their hashbrowns and she gruffly asked me to wait. Then I heard her say to a coworker, "Can you talk to her? I don't understand what she wants." A male voice then asked what I needed and I repeated my question to which he answered "We don't put anything in our eggs to be honest." This interaction was fine, but not super helpful. I was planning to get brunch here today, but will not be going anymore as I feel like the service just over the phone was less than inviting. I understand that many places do not have gluten free options, and that's completely fine. What is not ok is expecting to draw in or retain customers with employees that have attitudes like the one who answered the phone. I am 22 and work in the restaurant industry and would never ever think to speak to someone like that. read more

I love Sir Hobos! We come here all the time for breakfast. It's never too busy and I have always had great service and great food. After they had a fire, they rebuilt and upgraded the place nicely and it look beautiful inside. The prices aren't bad at all and for the quality of the food, it is DEFINITELY worth it. They serve breakfast and lunch/dinner, but I usually always opt for the breakfast. I hope this business stays around for awhile! read more

My boyfriend and I came to watch the game and have brunch, and ended up waiting 45 minutes for our food. We were hungry and had just left another restaraunt where our server was terrible and no where to be found, so it was pretty disappointing to wait almost an hour to eat. The food was good when it finally came and our waitress was very sweet, but none the less a disappointing experience. read more

This place is always packed; however, the increased popularity is working against it. I took my mother, step father, and fellow siblings here for Mother's day. It took fifteen minutes just to get the attention of the waitress. When the food finally arrived three out of five of the orders were completely wrong. The waitress basically just negotiated back and forth with us until we agreed to eat what we were served. On a side note, the owner (older lady) kept staring at our table with a look in her eye that could have gotten her a role in the movie Scarface. Unfortunately, the owners no longer care about quality like they did before the business burnt down. It's just a numbers thing at this point. They lost a lifer that day. read more
