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.
