First time eating at HoBo's today and wow I got the regular ruben and when I unwrapped it the smell of the fresh homemade bread made me smile. Then the first bite the tenderness was unmatched. I've eaten 20+ dollar Ruben's that don't even come close to this. My only zonk is that they don't offer pastrami only corned beef. The lady at the front desk was very nice and helpful. The price was very reasonable for real food. I'll keep coming back to HoBo's. Try it for yourself I swear you will be glad you did! read more

Honestly 15/10!!!!!!!!! I just tried their special with chips and a drink and added a cookie, but I wasn't prepared to have my socks knocked off like that!!!!! The large sandwich was HUGE, bread fresh, ratios perfect, and that cookie went crazy for .89 cent!!! This place is the epitome of a hidden gem read more

This place has been here since 1987, always looks empty, in a sketchy neighborhood with hardly any advertisement...so how has this place stayed in business for so long!? This mom & pop shop makes their own bread daily, they have a small menu and they're an example of someone that has mastered their craft, not a "jack of many trades and master of none" I believe that the chemical plants around the area and a faithful local clientele are the recipients of their beautifully executed sandwiches, and I feel lucky to have this place around, my kids also love their sandwiches far more than all the sandwich shops around the area. The potato salad goes well with the sandwiches btw. read more

Love this place! Have been eating here since I was a kid 20+ years! The bread is amazing and ingredients and better than Schlotzsky's! The staff is always friendly read more

Nice quaint spot. Great sandwiches with in house bread. Loved the chicken salad sandwich.

This place had a lot of positive reviews and I wanted to see what the hype was about. I ordered the Reuben sandwich combo which came with chips and a drink. First, let me say, this is a small family owned business. The decor is not like your big chain sandwich places like Subway or Jersey's Mike. But don't let that deter you. The people are still nice. The sandwich was delicious. The bread that is used is unlike no other. Very delicious. I'm not an avid sandwich eater, but this was one of the best that I have had. It's definitely worth trying out. Not many people were dining in but the carry out line was growing longer as I waited for my order. read more

I came in at 11 on a Wednesday. I like that my turkey sandwich came out piping hot and fresh. The bread was unique and tasted like it may have been made in house. It was a solid sandwich, nothing stood out about it but was a change from your typical chain sandwich shops. It came sliced in half and I noticed that there were hardly any olives on the half I ate. I looked at the other half and they were all on that side which was disappointing since it would have kicked up the flavor a bit on the other half. I would recommend buying a drink. I got a cup of water and it was not great. read more

The sandwich was simple but fantastic. I had the ham & turkey and I have no complaints. Bread was fresh, fluffy, and the vegetables were fresh and crunchy. The service is very mom & pop and nice. The ambiance is simple and plain, don't expect nothing fancy. But do expect a great sandwich! read more

Delicious sandwiches on my first two tries but my last sandwich the bread wasn't toasted and the turkey was very dry.

Allow me to start with the positive of this review. Customer service was nice, attentive, and accommodating. I ordered the smoke turkey sandwich which was nice and warm with a good taste. The bread is what made the sandwich, it had its own unique taste and was fresh. My sandwich was part of a combo which included chips and drink. The not so good about my review is that I thought it to be over priced for what I got as a takeaway. I do however understand that may be my own personal issue. read more

I've eaten at Hobo's since the 90s. Their sandwiches are very good. I've tried all of them over the years and never was disappointed. Like many people, I have a favorite, Tuna & Cheddar. The service is relatively quick. The eating area, as well as the restrooms are clean. The parking during lunch time sometimes requires parking in the nearby shopping area, which is not unreasonable, maybe a couple minute's walk and worth the effort. read more

Returned to this sandwich shop for my second time and it didn't disappoint. I ordered the Reuben sandwich and it was delicious. The bread is amazing the cheese was melted and it had the right amount of sauerkraut . I'll keep coming till I've tried all the different sandwiches they have. Great spot to enjoy lunch . read more

Hobo's Sandwich Shop - Reuben sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Houston, Texas

I went in for a sandwich and walked in a fan! Let me just say this, it's the bread! The bread is deliciously fresh and adds to the sandwich. I got the chicken salad sandwich. It was very good but I wish they offered, red onions & banana peppers to go inside the sandwich just my opinion. It was not packed & I do not know why! But HOBO should be packed, line outside the door packed but it's not. Hopefully they will reach their target audience! read more

the employees are rude. They don't say hi or your welcome or anything. If you don't want to work a job and have human decency then don't work. read more

Stopped here for lunch since I was on this part of town I wanted to try something different. The place look decent outside but, once inside or looked runner down that did not affect their food though! The bread people say it's sourdough? It tasted more to me like a large biscuit. I got the Reuben and it said it came with olives, but mine didn't come with any. I may have ordered the wrong sandwich so I'll give it another try with a different sandwich. read more

Hobo's Sandwich Shop - Rueben - Sandwiches Near Me - Houston, Texas

The best sandwich bread I have ever tasted! These nice folks tout their homemade sourdough bread and upon the first bite you'll know why. Hobo doesn't try to re-invent the wheel, instead sticking to perfecting classic sandwiches like a Beef and Cheddar, Chicken Salad, Reuben and their take on a Ham and Cheese which they call their signature "Hobo" A large side sandwich is enough to feed two but I just couldn't stop with how good this bread was. The potato salad is similar to that of a grocery store like HEB, which is good but nothing to write home about. The staff is friendly however the place looks a bit run down, especially the bathroom. But not to worry cause they also have a drive-thru! Hobo owners, please open more Houston locations. More people need to taste this extraordinary bread! Tip: They put black olives on a lot of their sandwiches, if that's not for you make sure you ask to take them off. read more

Good sandwiches on wonderful fresh bread. Exactly what I expected from a locally owned sandwich shop. Great sandwich, good value , friendly counter service and relaxing atmosphere. read more

This place isn't really that famous and it doesn't really stand out at all. The only thing that drew my attention to this sandwich shop was the weird name "Hobo". I decided to give it a shot with my co-workers and to my surprise the sandwiches were delicious! I've never tried anything like it (mostly due to the type of bread they use). The portion of food you get is quite filling and you aren't left hungry. There are usually lunch specials which includes chips and drink. They also have pretty good soups there too. I don't like the fact that they charge you for water though. In most establishments, water is free. Over here, to get water from their tap it costs 25 cents. Are they really making that much profit from water or is it just more annoying? I guess it deters customers from free drinks to fountain drinks. Another thing I don't like about this place is the hours of operation. They aren't open on weekends and close really early so consider this place only for lunch during work and nothing else. Overall, if you are in the mood for some really good sandwiches (not like subways or quiznoes) come to hobos. read more

Hobo's Sandwich Shop - Hobo Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is a must stop for the local worker. You have a choice of regular size or "large". I think they should call it Humongousourus-Rex. That's a big ass sammich! I had a ruben the size of my head that was dope and my coworker had a roast we'd n cheese that he said was really good. A couple drinks, a couple sandwiches and a couple bags of chips for about 20.00 ain't bad and this is good food served by the local fellers. As most things in the area are fast food or sit down trash buckets, this was a refreshing stop and some of the better food in the area. My only suggestion is that you order cheese for the Ruben. Rock on, Hobos. read more

The bread makes the sandwich. Nothing fancy but very clean cafe style. Friendly people that remember their regulars.

Wow, great little sandwich shop, had the "Hobo" and it was great!. Fast friendly service and fantastic sandwiches. If you're in the area and hungry this is the place to stop! read more

Great sammichs. Great bread and fixings. Love the potato salad. I eat there when ever I'm in the neighborhood for lunch.

Had a large hobo today for lunch! This is a secret spot on this side of town! The sandwich was freshly made, delicious ingredients, and I added the jalapeños!! The atmosphere is very quaint and simple, but the sandwiches are spectacular. There were several families today with their kids in caps and gowns for their graduation!!! That's how good they are read more

Best homemade bread ! Favorite place to go with my husband ! Friendly staff Time efficient read more

Customer Service WAS HORRIBLE!!! The lady taking my order was extremely rude and condescending.

I've lived on the east side all my life and never really approached HOBOs. I came here for lunch one day and honestly Schlotzsky's ain't got nothing on HOBOs. I love coming here for lunch now. The sandwiches are very delicious and Customer service is great. If you haven't come here you need to. read more

Nice change from a Subway sandwich even though it was a lot smaller but taste was good. Staff was quick to take my order and didn't have to wait long at all for it. Sweet tea wasn't all that good. read more

Fantastic food, fantastic service. Just all around fantastic. This is a common lunch place for me as I work in the area They super consistent and delicious. Please eat here if you haven't! I myself always order the large hobo :) read more

Way overpriced. Sandwich taste was decent. But I paid over $12 for a large sandwich and regular drink and with the size of the sandwich, it shouldn't of been over 8 bucks. Very thin sandwich. I could of gotten a lot more on a sandwich from Schlotskys at the same price. read more

Had their sandwich for the first time and it was absolutely AMAZING! Best sandwich ever literally!

If you want a great sandwich, that has fresh ingredients and delicious bread, this is your spot! I come here often during lunch to grab a sandwich and sometimes their soup (changes daily). Sometimes it gets crowded, so you have to wait longer for your food, but it's worth it. I already asked, you can't buy the bread separately..... Plus they sell my favorite chips of all time, Voodoo which isn't common. Check them out, won't be disappointed!!! read more

Hobo's Sandwich Shop - Chicken salad sandwich with no olives - Sandwiches Near Me - Houston, Texas

Really good sandwiches. The warm fresh bread is amazing. I've been here several times and haven't been disappointed yet.

They may close early, but the food is amazing I always come and get an turkey sandwich I recommend it tasty and juicy is what you'll taste

Fairly tasty hole in the wall sandwich shop. Hobo's is a bare bones no frills eatery, with maybe a dozen small tables for seating and a counter at the back to place your order. They also offer drive thru for the sandwich man on the go. The sandwiches remind me of a homemade (better) version of Schlotsky's. The bread is that same round shape and most of the sandwich options are reminiscent of their menu. They offer "regular" and "Large" size sandwiches which is just a bigger diameter of bread. I ordered a regular sized one most recently and was sufficiently full with chips and a drink for just under $10. If you're looking for a sandwich and want to go off the beaten path of Subway, Quizno's, Schlotsky's etc. Hobo's is a good contender to check out. read more

Their sandwiches are amazing!! If you want a real tuna sub/Sandwich stop here!! Love this little Gem!

Awesome sandwiches. I've Lunch here a couple of times. Really good and filling.

First time here, dinned with the husband for lunch. I believe the owner was working the register (not that friendly, maybe he's having a bad day) or maybe me asking him what was on the HoBo sandwich 2x put him out?....the first time I asked he said it so fast I couldn't make out what he was saying, so kindly asked him to repeat. (We were only ones in line btw. I could understand if there was a long line of people him getting frustrated) moving along. I ordered the Hobo (regular size) w/all the trimmings - turkey, ham, salami, Swiss cheese, mustard, mayo, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, onion & olives. The bread was delicious, just like all other reviews mention. I ate every single bite. Husband ordered the roast beef (large size) w/only meat and cheese (this is served w/cheddar) it too was really good!! We would defiantly return if we're in the area. Great sandwich shop- I prefer their hot sandwiches over any cold ones served elsewhere. read more
