If i could i would give HOBO -5 starts especially this place it's infested with mice found mouse drops by the register and something worse under the pop machine. They serve moldy rye bread to people and give no refunds for anything. Me and my family got served dry bread and my husband a moldy 16 what kind of place are they running here exactly? Fries were soggy my grilled sandwich was salty and not to start with the employees are on there phone VERY RUDE to customers front was mostly on the phone and people in the back cursing while the manager was staring blank not saying anything and ones i brought the food up that was wrong manager was very rude about it

Ordered a grilled E and received a grilled F.

Poor customer service and poor sandwich making stills. If I order a grilled E steak I should not get a grilled F steak.

#11 king!

3.5 stars... Disclaimer: I grew up with this place so my opinion may be a bit skewed. For as long as I can remember I have enjoyed the Hungry Hobo sub sandwich, and I always order the #11. Sweet pillowy bread topped with sliced meats and cheeses freshly cut and assembled to order with your choice of toppings, I always get the banana peppers to spice it up! They also have wonderful potatoes and it appears they now serve fries. Prices are in line with expectation and ambiance is train station meets lunch counter. This joint was on the list before there was a list, and I come here every trip back to the QC!

Just the best. Tastes real and not fake like Subway. Staff was friendly and the King Roast Beef and cheddar was pefect to share with my wife. These are the best nachos in the Quad Cities too!

Great food. Collin took our order and wasn't very pleasant. Received a couple dirty looks and acted like he didn't wanna be there at all.

The owner (Tiphanie) is something else. Rude, unprofessional, and somehow convinced she's above…read moreeveryone when her business is hanging on by the thinnest thread of customer patience. My first experience with her? I called to order a smash cake for my baby's first birthday. I sent my budget and a reference photo like any normal parent would (which was the most simple and plain cake that I actually ended up making myself but better) and she laughed -- actually laughed -- and said, "Let me put it like this, you're asking for a BMW cake on a Honda budget." That's what she said to a first time mom and first time customer. I was disgusted. That moment told me everything. She acts like she's doing people a favor by taking their money. The desserts are mediocre, the food is a joke, and her public responses to reviews are even worse...petty, defensive, and dripping with the same arrogance I heard on the phone. Then there's her social media.. full of cringe-worthy videos that make you wonder how someone can be this unaware of their own attitude. And apparently she orders Instacart and doesn't even tip. It's all the same energy: take, brag, and belittle. If she ever treated customers with even a fraction of the respect they deserve, she might actually have a good thing going. But for now, her reputation matches her product.. stale and hard to swallow.

We've had dinner here multiple times - excellent food and service, so when I needed to plan a…read morebirthday party for a friend this was my first choice. Tiphanie was thorough in making sure the menu, drinks and all details were perfect for us, down to the cupcake and macaron flavors. The party was a huge success, we received many compliments on the food and party room. It's amazing that they do not charge to use the room.
