| - I met a friend here for lunch today and it was my first time eating here. My wife and I had wanted to try this place, but most of the early reviews said service was very slow. The restaurant has now been open for several months, so maybe they've ironed out the wrinkles. My buddy and I sat on the patio, which is one of the biggest appeals for this place. The patio overlooks a park and the railroad tracks, hence the name "Hobos." I ordered a root beer float and a Big Apple burger with fries. The root beer float was served in a mason jar, which was a nice touch. The fries are fresh cut with the skins still on them, similar to what you get at Five Guys. The Big Apple burger was excellent. The burger itself tasted like a burger you'd have at a backyard cookout, which is how I like my burgers. I'd never had apples as a burger topping, or even thought about them in that way, but it was very tasty and goes well with the bacon. I'm a big fan of sourdough bread, so bonus for me that this burger is served on it. A train came rumbling through mid-lunch, which was pretty cool, as the tracks are less than 100 yards from the patio. Well, I guess it's cool if you like trains, not so cool if you mind hearing it blast its horn while you're enjoying your meal. Oh yeah, the service... our waitress was friendly and attentive. I plan to come back and bring my wife.
