Hobo Joe's Restaurant - Taco salad - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Madill, Oklahoma

The pizza was good but I was with a group of women for lunch and the menu was more geared for hard working men. They had a salad bar but it wasn't very interesting and pricy Burgers and sandwiches didn't get much veg and a BLT was a bit of tomato and like a slab of bacon. My guess is the kitchen is not well trained Typical for the area try finding something not fried on the menu read more

Ordered small supreme pizza and it hardly had any toppings. 5 slices of pepperoni ,teaspoon of onions etc. read more

Hobo Joe's Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Madill, Oklahoma

Ive passed this place many times and always thought it would be interesting to try. Soni finally pulled the trigger and stopped in. It was an early dinner so not very packed but normally when i pass by there isnt a parking space available. Great service and fun atmosphere. This is down home comfort food. So first off i tried the meatloaf dinner. Was not impressed as it was like two spicy meatballs. Flavor was overpowering. The corn nuggets as a side were awesome. Biscuits was dry and hard. I will definitely have to give it another chance and try something different. read more

The service was excellent and the lady was so friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the food left a lot to be desired. My wife had a hamburger and couldn't even eat it. She said the meat tasted freezer burned. I had the chicken fried chicken And unfortunately, it was not very good at all. It 's really sad because the environment in the restaurant is really nice.They need to get someone knows how to cook! read more

We were there on a Monday. One server for the whole restaurant. The parking lot was full. The server was friendly and stopped by often. Unfortunately she couldn't help the food, it was a bad day for the food. Out of mashed potatoes, pizza oven not working. The hamburger steak was a small piece of curled up freezer burnt patty. Per my husband it tasted "wrong." We should have sent it back right away, but are leery to send back food. The meatloaf was fibrous but fair. The Mac and cheese was decent. The cosmo- evidently the drink maker has not a clue how to serve. It was in a short glass with a huge ice cube. This place feels like it is struggling. We had liked the one in Denison and had been to this one a few times and it used to be decent. The waitress and ambiance are what kept it from being a one star. Sad. I don't see it making it to next year without serious intervention from....somebody. read more

What an absolute amazing find! The atmosphere was awesome and the menu extensive. I had the chicken fried chicken, which was perfectly cooked and tender. The other three people in our party had the catfish and they said it was some of the best they've ever had. Our server was attentive and informative. read more

looked like a cute little place...stopped to eat on our way through...waitress was fair...salad bar was very good...hamburger steak was supposed to be 1/2 pound but I believe it might have been 1/4 (maybe) chicken fried steak was so tough my dog had trouble chewing it...sorry this is a no go again for us!!! read more

The wait staff was absolutely amazing at the restaurant! The queso and pretzel bites, I would not order again. While I enjoyed the pretzels, the queso showed up to my table with a "cheese skin" and barely warm. If you know what that is, you know it shouldn't be delivered with that already on it. The catfish was good and I enjoyed the hush puppies. My favorite thing was probably the cocktail sauce because I loved that horseradish kick! I would try the place again but probably different items from the menu. Sports playing on the TV in the background and a handful of tables with customers eating. read more

Everything perfect! Service staff were very friendly and efficient. The food was good.

Food is ALWAYS GREAT! We live their food. Their pizza is amazing! I'm not sure there isn't much that we do not like on the menu.

Great service, good food, and good drinks and I recommend it you should go see what they have.

You can't beat Hobo Joe's! The menu is great and the food is delicous! The service is super friendly and your glass will never go empty here! Check it out! read more

Meh, it's alright, nothing special. Food was pretty good, service was a little slow, decorated ok for what it is. Was a little pricey for what you get. read more

I love the restaurant but the website appears to have hacked as of Mar. 7 9:48 PM . It's a gambling site maybe. I closed it pretty fast.

Had lunch 8-2-2022 2 people Small town eatery. We have actually been here a couple times. LUNCH: 1) chopped steak with brown gravy, mash potatoes and okra with 1/2 and 1/2 tea. He said it good. 2) catfish basket (reg not spicy) with fries and hush puppies. Fries were the soft fried kind and not the normal crispy. They were okay. The hush puppies were jalapeño and a little over cooked. The fish would have been so much better had there been a different type batter. All in all this basket was fair. This eatery needs to control the flies. They are atrocious. You can't hardly eat your meal without shooing flies away. Looking at the reviews this is an apparent problem that the establishment does not or cannot fix. Not sure I would return for a 3rd visit. read more

After dining here for many years I had my worst experience. First time I ordered the sirloin steak with beans and French fries. I ordered the sirloin cooked medium rare however it was served more than well done and hard as a rock I returned it received one cooked medium which was better. The beans and french fries were good. I usually have the spicy catfish basket which is very good. I will eat again but stick with the catfish. read more

Flies everywhere and bugs in the food. Smelt like sewage. Unfriendly staff. For the love of god, go somewhere else. read more

The burgers were so dry and I ordered a cheese burger and I received it without cheese. The fries were over cooked and mashed potatoes tasted weird, The catfish was alright. The prices are way too expensive for mediocre food at best. that's the last time I'll ever eat here especially cause you have hundreds of flies attacking you while you eat it's annoying I can't imagine what it looks like in the kitchen. read more

Hobo Joe's Restaurant - Pork chop with side of fries and sautéed veggies - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Madill, Oklahoma

Serivice was very slow. Took 35 minutes to get food. Was cold when arrived. I had Loaded Fries drenched in BBQ sauce. They were below average at best. Kids ordered cheese pizzas that Totinos would have been embarrassed to serve. Others had day old stale biscuits with there orders. Meatloaf and hamburger steak were cold and hard. Did not receive silverware until after food arrived. It was 7 on Saturday night and restaurant was empty. Should have been our hint. One of the few other customers near our table had to send they're burnt fried chicken orders back. And they also had to wait for silverware. Restaurant Rehab needs to visit this place. Cant imagine them staying open much longer with this level of food and service. read more

The queso and pizza was very good. The rest of the experience was terrible. The place is full of flies. There were dozens flying around our inside table. My husband and I both ordered the 2 meat combo with Turkey and sausage links. The Turkey came out cold and extremely dry. There wasn't enough BBQ sauce in the place to fix how dry/over cooked it was. The sausage was so over cooked it was hard and crunchy. I got veggies as a side and they were burnt. My kids ordered a cheese pizza and the cook complained that it was "just cheese" and gave the waitress a hard time about allowing us order it. We had really high hopes, we are at the lake most weekends and we're always looking for a good restaurant close by. It was a complete disappointment. read more

Food was good! Drinks stayed full and Kari our waitress was very kind and helpful. I would highly recommend stopping in, and ask for Kari! Nice enough place, even came back tonight to have dinner. Kelci was a great bar tender, friendly and made sure I didn't need anything. Even suggested a corona michelada, which turned out pretty decent! Thanks HOBO's, even the live music was a good twist! read more

Service: friendly, polite, very quick and efficient. Our waitress was Grace and she was GREAT! Food: they had the best calf fries we've had in a while! We both got the catfish entrees. Their sauteed vegetables were so buttery and delicious. Very generous portions! Their sweet tea was perfect. This is a restaurant that's about 30 minutes out of the way from us and we will definitely be coming back again and again! read more

HOLY MOLY, THIS PLACE ROCKS!!!! I am from Dallas and I came here while passing through Madill and it is SOOOO GOOD!!! I got the brisket sandwich and hands down it was the best I ever had! This place is sooo incredibly underrated! The waitress I got was super nice and the ambiance looked like what hobo joes would mean. read more

Catfish was really good, husband liked his grilled cheese sandwich, but wasn't expecting peppery cheese. French fries were okay, not a fan of the battered fries. The ranch dressing is really yummy. I like the decor too. read more

the ownership has failed the management & employees. The worst customer service ever. Wait time for food takes forever. Ordered an appetizer & was served without plates. Ask for plates & was treated as if we were stupid. Not to mention the amount of time to receive it was extended. Ordered a pizza without onion it came out covered with onions. Told waitress one of us can not eat onion. She acted as if it was trouble to make another one as ordered. So, I opted to just order a brownie so I could eat with husband. It took forever to come out. He was done eating. Then we got ticket she acted as if taking our card was a problem cause there was a QR code to scan & pay. When in reality they should have gave me the brown or at no charge. I have tried several times to eat here & it keeps getting worse. I will never go back or recommend to travelers. read more

The prices are ridiculous. The decor is dusty and old. My wife and I could not believe the amount of flies there were in this place. We thought that was bad till we saw the cockroaches. This place is disgusting. Clean it up or close. read more

Though Hobo Joe's came highly recommended it's food turned out to be a disappointment. We went there on a Thursday night about 7pm and it was busy. We got our drinks fairly quickly, but we ended up waiting about 1hr 15 minutes for our food to arrive. When it did the hamburger steak was not warm, the baked beans barely but the grilled veggies were hot and amazing. 1 out of 3 not so great overall. The cost was rather high: $13.88 for a very average hamburger steak. On a positive note: The wait staff was friendly and fun, the atmosphere was rustic and inviting. I would hang out here and enjoy their tea, but maybe not order food again. Others in our party of 5 also had long waits for not hot food. read more

Ordered the catfish extra crispy. Had them take it back twice to fry it again because it wasn't crispy still. Finally gave up and ate the chewy fish. Their other food may be good but the fish definitely isn't good. read more

It's a shame to leave such a low rating for this place but I have no choice. The food was very good - we ordered fried pickles and pizza, Supreme and sausage. The pizza was just good. Nothing great but I did enjoy it, it was decent. The fried pickles were quite good. The service was nothing short of the worst service I've ever received anywhere. Period. There were probably 6 kids (it seemed like this place was entirely ran by high school kids) visible with exactly 2 seemingly doing everything. The girl that seated us, Emily, barely spoke above a whisper when she asked for our drink order, and disappeared behind the counter after she delivered them to talk to some friends that were seated at the bar. We waited about 20 minutes before one of the girls that was doing everything noticed we still had menus in front of us. She promptly grabbed Will who was to be our waiter and pointed him our way. The food was good, like I said, but we asked for plates when he delivered our pizza to our table (apparently plates are not necessary to eat pizza here) and he said he would bring us some. He never darkened our table again. My husband went to the bar and asked Emily for 3 plates after it became apparent that Will was not interested in bringing them. Then, I took all of our glasses to the bar for refills while everyone stared at us like we were growing another head. FYI we never were rude to anyone and I actually thanked the girl behind the counter for refilling our glasses. After our meal, the waiter finally came to the table and apologized and said he gave us a discount. They comped our 2 cokes. 7.00 off. If you want to try the food, I won't dissuade you, but get it to go. read more
