This review covers two dinners we had while sitting at the bar and Lil being our server and bartender. We had a wonderful time both visits! We found Will to be an excellent bartender as well as friendly and pleasant! People make every business, and she does Hobbs well! I really do enjoy their Caesar salad, adding salmon. The salmon is usually extremely delicious and these two visits they were the same; however, our most recent visit the blackening seasoning was very heavy. I did not mind it and found it to be deliciously yummy! My wife enjoyed her Southwest, egg rolls and small Caesar salad as well! Though it's a bit of a drive from where we are staying, it is well worth the trip! Unfortunately, this will probably be our last visit during our annual sojourn to this area. We're looking forward to visiting again next year! read more

We are new to this area and stopped in for lunch. We loved the food, beer and cocktails! My friend started with a nice Cold brew (I'm sorry I forget which one) but he liked it and had a few. I tried the Pumpkin brew cocktail which was really tasty. We shared the maple whiskey chicken tenders and they were so delicious. He ordered steak tips with garlic mashed and green beans and I ordered a cheeseburger with French fries. Both were cooked perfectly as requested, we really enjoyed our meal. The atmosphere was really comfortable and our server Kelly was very friendly and so helpful with the menu as well as the details about the brewery and the restaurant upstairs as well (we were trying to figure out what was up there as we sat and enjoyed our Meal). I joined their rewards program before we left because I know we will return. We look forward to next visit that is for sure. Thanks! read more

Not deserving of the one star but to post this I had to select it. We drove over an hour expecting an exceptional dining experience, but it was disappointing from the moment we walked through the door. The host seated a pushy MASSHOLE who arrived after us, then disappeared from the reception area altogether, leaving us standing there wondering if we'd been forgotten. Eventually, a waiter had to step in and seat us. Unfortunately, it didn't get any better. We were placed at a table directly in front of a high-traffic doorway and over an air-conditioning vent, making it one of the least comfortable seats in the restaurant. Service was painfully slow, and the food simply didn't justify the prices. The cocktails were strong--perhaps that's by design, because they were the highlight of an otherwise overpriced and underwhelming meal. When you're charging premium prices, customers expect premium service and food. This restaurant delivered neither. We left wondering how a place with so much hype could miss the mark on so many basic things. Little did they know, my date is a highly successful chef who won't be recommending this restaurant to anyone. read more

Great atmosphere, good food and selection of beers. Plenty on the menu and the chicken salad with bacon was excellent and portion was really too much...ha ha....ate it all!! Service was good and food came out fast read more

Service was excellent. Brittni was helpful and expedient with all of our visit. The food was very good and the atmosphere was inviting.

The food here is good! We made a point to return here on our family's most recent trip up to North Conway as Hobb's is on the way, about 30 minutes south of our destination. The place has a nice vibe, it's spacious and going for the dark modern farmhouse pub vibe. I ordered the buffalo chicken Mac and cheese because nothing sounded better than Mac and cheese in that moment. But did I get the Mac and cheese in that moment? Or any of the next moments? No! Service was painfully slow. Probably around 30 minutes of waiting for our food. I was so hungry and my patience was wearing dangerously thin. I needed my Mac asap!! The server came around once during h that time to say the food would be out shortly, which it wasn't. The place wasn't packed or anything, so not sure what was up. When my food did arrive, it was delicious. Very flavorful cheese sauce on the Mac and the chicken was excellent. I'd still come back the next time in town! Maybe I'll be lucky to catch some of the live music they play too. read more

Stopped here for a brew, snack, and soup after a day of skiing Attitash. The pretzel bites were tasty and the french onion soup and beer (session) were okay. While service was friendly, it was really really slow, especially for being seated at the bar. Glad I tried it, but don't think I'd return. read more

The nachos were terrible. Warn people before they order them. The watery cheese and potato chips are not good! And three small pieces of brisket. The beer is what drew me there. The quinoa bowls were great. read more

Nice service. Nice vibe inside. Food is decent, but up charges for everything. Pretzels are 8 dollars for some bites and then add more for mustard and cheese. American cheese on a burger - no charge. Add cheddar - charge. The menu is filled with these. Stop with the upcharges, please. read more

Wonderful spot. Plenty of room for everybody, plenty of different drinks including mead. Food was literally lick the plate clean. 25/30 read more

Service? Front Dining Room had 12 tables and six were empty. We were told that the wait to be seated was twenty minutes. This is the second time that this has happened to us within two weeks. The food is pretty good, when we have been there before; but it doesn't make any sense to have a crowd of people standing near the hostess station stairing at empty tables while waiting to be seated. The food is good; but Dining Room Management could use a reboot. read more

Great vibe, cool facilities, but the food was just okay. Most frustrating was my "chicken" wrap, which was 90% lettuce and almost no chicken. read more

I'm not sure how busy this place can get, but stopping here at 4pm on a Monday (during day 1 of our official honeymoon) proved to be promising & there were only a couple customers at the bar. The rest of the place was empty. My husband & I were immediately seated with a view of the back of the restaurant/deck. I have to say that the fried cheese curds are bountiful & the sauce they come with adds something extra. I had the fried haddock sandwich with an upgrade for sweet potato (waffle) fries. My husband built his own burger (which he had fun with, haha) & could hardly finish it. The coleslaw has a bit more of a pepper taste, but it's fresh & good. The restaurant was clean & inviting. We may stop by in our way back home from our honeymoon for lunch. The service was prompt & efficient (which may also be due to the fact it was quiet). P.S. Most of the beer options have a "hoppy" taste or are close to an IPA. I personally dislike it, but just giving a heads up for those like me. Their cocktails are $12.95/ea. which is pretty steep. read more

Our dinner at Hobbs Tavern was a very popular experience. Yes, being a Friday night it was crowded, and we had a 20-minute wait on the front lobby benches with other folks in the same situation. It was actually an enjoyable wait as we gabbed with the friendly folks and passed around a menu. When our name was called, we were escorted to a table behind the bar and dove into the beer menu. We saw four IPAs, a dark lager, two light lagers, and a Saison. We both went for their Wet Hop Community Wheat Ale Lager (5% ABV) and $6 for a pint. The price was right and the beer was refreshing and very drinkable. We shared one of their appetizers - a nice bowl of Pretzel Bites served with an IPA Mustard $8.95. They were hot, salty, and perfect for sharing. We were going to an all day wedding the next day and figured we'd be overfed for lunch and dinner, do we took it easy for the Hobbs Tavern dinner. We both got a $6.95 salad (Tavern for my wife and Caesar for me) and added on $6.95 Grilled Chicken (her) and $10.95 Maple Bourbon Steak Tips (me). I gotta tell you, the steak tips were excellent. I ordered them medium and they were delicious -tender and juicy with an amazing sauce. I don't eat a lot of steak, but I was so glad I ordered these beauties tonight. Overall, it was $54 for a big beer, a small beer, an appetizer and two salad with a side of chicken and steak. I think that was pretty reasonable. read more

Wow the nachos were amazing. The winter salad delicious. The chicken and waffles were huge and yummy. Service was insane. Highly recommend this place. read more

It was a busy evening in this area, with other local restaurants not more taking reservations, so we took our chance at showing up here and we sat at the bar. Glad we did! Excellent drinks $$$ and food $$. The southwest schnitzel was sold out so I ordered the steak and cheese egg rolls and southwest bean sweet potato soup. Delish. Staff were friendly! read more

The food is good here but very overpriced. Service is good and friendly. Very loud last time I was in there and it usually is that way.

This may be a "tourist trap" but it's a trap worth getting stuck in (lol). Seriously. I was craving a burger and this is now in my top ten. Brittany (spelling?), our waitress was the best part of the experience. Great recommendations and a desire to make our experience a great one. Will come back for sure. Good food, good service, tourist prices. But worth it. read more

We came with a big group of people. I don't think anyone got a single bad piece of food. The waiter and staff were friendly. The one bad thing I would say the menu was a little small. read more

Always a solid spot for a good dinner when heading through the area. They carry many of their own beers which are good, and the food is fresh and varied. Service is friendly, surprisingly good marg read more

I can't remember the last time I have written a review, but I found the extra charges so outrageous that I had to write about it. My partner and I split a single burger that was supposedly half a pound. It didn't feel that way at all; it felt more like a quarter of a pound. We each had a drink; he had a beer, and I had cheap wine. So that's 70 + bucks because they literally nickel and dime you for everything. Like mustard, they offer you a cheese option when you order a cheese burger and then charge you extra. They literally nickel and dime you. Our waitress accidentally put another table's drinks on our bill. She did correct that, but then I saw all the other charges. I thought, "Wow, this is really sad." read more

A CRY FOR HELP I'm sorry to say but I was totally unimpressed with this place. Four of us came for dinner and no one was satisfied. I ordered the Vegetable Primavera. I have attached a photo of what a typical restaurant may serve versus what I received. It was a soupy mess without many veggies. As they say, a photo is worth a thousand words, You be the judge. Enough said. read more

----- Concise Review Great family lunch ----- Longer Review We traveled to South Tamworth, New Hampshire, by way of Boston, MA and then North Conway, NH, for the wedding of our niece to her husband. The trip was brief - Thursday evening to Sunday, but filled with family and fun. Those of us not in the wedding party met for lunch before the ceremony, at Hobbs Brewery. The 12 of us really enjoyed... Appetizers: - Loaded house made potato chips - Cheese curds - awesome! - Pretzel bites Meals: - Chicken Caesar salad - Fish & chips - Burgers More The server was great and kept glasses filled and delivered all the orders accurately. Thank you! ----- ----- ----- read more

We loved it here! We called about outdoor seating and they said they had a limited number of seats and Saturdays were crowded so we might need to wait. I appreciated the candor and we went on Sunday instead. I ordered the Mahi Mahi and it was really good! My husband had their lager and enjoyed it. Chicken fingers for the kids and the staff was so sweet to the kids. We went back the next night and 2 of the staff remembered us and we so kind again. Highly recommend good food and good service. read more

Always looking for a quick and tasty stop on our way home from North Conway. We visited on a Sunday afternoon and were seated right away next to a cool vintage carousel horse. I decided to get a flight and our waitress gave talked me through some of the beer options I was between which I always appreciate. My flight came and I LOVED the IPAs, they were all super hoppy and my favorite two were actually Hobb's own (HiJack and Jacked up, which are meant to be "brothers" so they're similarly tasty) and my partner really enjoyed his margarita. Then the food came... we were blown away!! My partner at his meatloaf so fast I only got a picture of his empty plate. My one complaint is that there are very limited vegetarian entrees, (although there were a few veg appetizers). Nonetheless, I got the veggie burger with Cajun fries and also cleaned my plate! I'm usually skeptical about /veggie/ burgers (as opposed to the "meatier" alternatives like impossible and beyond) but I quite liked this one. The Cajun fries were also beautifully seasoned and perfectly crisp. We throughout enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back! read more

This is a place to go for drinks and maybe an app. My previous review mentions food, but we only had drinks during g that visit and I guess I assumed wrong that the food would be good. We were a large group and ordered dinner items. Half of the steak sandwich had very little meat, the tartar sauce and sundae brownie dessert both had hair in it. Others in the group were not impressed with their food. Beware that the gluten free (GF) advertised meal came with blue cheese dressing that was not GF. The waitress, Christine, was not the most attentive waitress. She was busy, but it should not have been so difficult to get her attention when we needed something. Will not be returning for meals. read more

Good menu/specials. Food was great, service was prompt & friendly. Beer choices were broad, described well on menu. Highly recommend!

Good beer.... Ordered the burger but sadly it was just alright. Overpriced. Nothing really special and was okay. Was hoping for a better burger especially because there food pictures looked really good. But just kinda disappointed when it comes to the food. Beer was delicious! Would come for beer but not the food. It's not that hard to make a decent burger I'm able to make a better burger at home on the grill. read more

Nice local people and friendly staff. Good beers and several to choose from. Thursdays food trucks and band if they show up...

I ended up driving up here on Labor Day weekend. I figured it would be busy, but when I pulled up there was parking in the front so I was optimistic. I am a big craft beer drinker, and was excited to try a number of their brews. I went and found a seat at the bar immediately and was happy. Unfortunately you took about 15 minutes for one of the two bartenders to actually come over and greet me. They didn't seem overly busy, just overly incompetent. I ordered a flight and an order of boneless wings based on what the people next to me were eating. The beer was OK. It wasn't anything special. The wings were very overpriced and very under flavored. I thought maybe I should've gone to the taproom instead of the restaurant, but I wasn't about to take the chance at spending way too much money again. read more

It's one thing when the food is mediocre but when they add extra tip for themselves it's criminal!!! Went for some beers and food after a hike in the White Mountains. Thought this place looked nice. The beers were pretty good but the food was poor at best (2 stars). The problem is the bill came to $242.42, we added a generous tip of $48 (~20%) however our credit card was charged $317.44. That's over 30%!!! Cheating your customers is not a way to stay in business long-term. Stay clear of this shady business! read more

We arrived for our reservation for 2 at 8pm. First impressions was great, atmosphere was nice. Men's bathroom was clean but woman's had tp on floor and overflowing trash. Waitress came to our table to take our drink order but we had not received a drink menu. She returned and we ordered drinks (1 flight 1 soda and 2 waters) also ordered an appetizer of cheese curds. She drops off our drinks minus the water. When we are finally able to order (beef pie & chicken parm) we remind her about the appetizer and waters that had been forgotten to put in. She apologized for being short staffed. Comes back after a few minutes to tell us both of the entrees we ordered are all out and did not bring menus. She returns and we order a second time (burger - medium well, with fries and coleslaw & the steak tip special, was then also informed they were out of coleslaw) She returned a few minutes later to tell us that they were also out of the steak tips. (Keeping in mind that the limited menu has only 6 entrees, burgers & sandwiches. Lisa does not eat seafood so there is basically nothing left to choose from) Again without a menu we waited for the waitress to retrieve one and ordered an appetizer of chicken wings and a salad. Defiantly not what we were looking for and because of the time we couldn't leave to eat elsewhere. One hour after seating; 9pm, just now getting our appetizer of cheese curds which were great aside from finding 3 pieces of some kind of seafood mixed in. (Not a big deal for us, but a great way to kill somebody that is allergic to shellfish) When our meal arrives, the burger was over cooked and cold, it was clearly fired before they had our entire "new" order. The fries were also cold. We requested water for the 3rd time as well as the sauces that we asked for when ordering. With a now diminished appetite we ate half of our meals. I expressed the burger was overcooked and cold when sending it with the server. The bill came and we were charged full price for everything. I expressed again that our visit was unsatisfactory and hoped they were not planning on charging us 100%. The only apologies for the poor service and food was sorry were shorted staffed. After speaking to the manage the burger was removed from the bill. There was high hopes for this place as the building both out and in is beautiful with a great atmosphere. I do not recommend and will discourage anybody from visiting Hobbs. If anybody from this establishment wishes to contact me about this visit they are welcome to email me at jody@cakesplus.biz. ****While writing this review I have also realized that we were charged $8 for an entire basket of fries, when we had only ordered a side which should have been $2... read more

We enjoyed the food. Service and ambiance is nice. If we are ever up in that area again we would go there to eat.

The steak tips were good, mashed potatoes dry and old, vegetables over cooked and the service sucked.

Met up with three friends. The server ( Ella) brought menus and waters. Ask us uf we'd like something to drink and we ordered flights. Ended up ordering 4 appetizers. Which were delicious. Ella kept tabs on us and kept us hydrated. A excellent place for lunch or dinner. Nice not too expansive menu. Something there for everyone. Ella , our server epitomized what a top notch server should be. A definite asset to the tavern. read more

Went in for some apps and dessert. Bar was full so we sat at table. When ordering with waitress she promptly told us that our order was not appropriate for table service and we really should be sitting at the bar, but she would let it slide this time. Apps were mediocre at best but the dessert was good. Not impressed, one and done for me. YMMV. read more
