It took a minute to realize how the owners of this neat bar and grill came up with the name. But the owners, HOward and BOb simply combined their names (and their talents) to create the great place in Wilton Manors…HOBO’S.
A cute idea!
Recently we stopped there for lunch…and we realized we had hit the jackpot! It was a Monday…and at HOBO’S that means it’s BURGERS & HOT DOG DAY! Your Choice! For $6! Amazing…
Our kind waiter was very patient as he explained the deal.
Pick FOUR ITEMS to put on your handmade hamburger. And lettuce and tomato don’t even count!
It was a challenge…especially since I was just wanting a plain old burger.
But we played along…and after MUCH thought and discussion I had a burger…with bacon, Swiss, mushrooms and grilled onions…and lettuce and tomato! (Can you spell lunch…AND DINNER?)
I was also required to pick a side dish so I picked their homemade potato salad with bacon. It was OK…but it definitely lacked some seasoning and it was rather dry, so next time I would choose something else.
But when you have a burger that contains everything but the kitchen sink, a SIDE dish is a moot point anyway!
The outside dining area was neat, clean and pleasant. While waiting for our food, I walked inside and discovered a really cool, HUGE bar/restaurant that looked like a clean and happy place to hang out.
Wilton Manors is loaded with neat bars and restaurants…and HOBO’S is a new spot that will fit in and become a must-stop place.
On Monday…or ANY day of the week!
