William C. Benedict ordered The chicken sandwich,
a salad, and some excellent beer and rated the food excellent
because, "as good on this trip as on every trip in the past 30
years." and writes on April 18, 2008, "I first stopped at the
Hob Nob in 1978, when it was still out in the boondocks. The
drive-in itself has not changed much and neither has the high
quality of their food and service. Suzanne sees to that, and the
cook's food in never off base. As one of the very few still
viable, honest-to-God Drive-Ins in the U.S., the Hob Nob has had
a solid place in American cuisine for over fifty years. This
retired Cordon Bleu Chef ain't just a'whistlin' Dixie 'bout
that. I grew up in the true heart of the Drive-In fed south,
with ready access to some of the absolute best Drive-Ins of all
time. The Hob Nob, from conception and inception to today, has
been and remains one of the very best, and has, in my mind and
heart, always rated the fifth star and always will. May they be
there another fifty, and maybe fifty more after that. And may
they never change... cause they cannot get better than already
being amongst the best."

Jamie White party of 2 ordered cheeseburger fries
shakes and rated the food very good because, "just what we were
hoping for in a burger." and writes on April 9, 2008, "Rusty
legged counter stools, tables less than a hop skip and a jump
from busy route 301, all outdoor seating: this is the Hob Nob.
What's the attraction? It's casual, friendly and the food is
good. The menu has a variety of items but we were there for the
burgers. They were great; very juicy and cooked to perfection.
The usual toppings, lettuce, onion and tomato were fine. If I
could suggest one improvement it would be to heat the bun. It
was quite cold in contrast to the hot burger. The fries were
thick crinkle cut, not at all greasy. Though not crispy they
were very good. The advertised handmade shake (vanilla) served
with a cherry on top, was cold and smooth. Not too thick, so it
went up the straw easily. Too easily! I could have ordered
another.
The servers are friendly and they work together to provide fast
service. Table tops and counters were clean.
It's far from fancy but sometimes its nice to sit and relax and
watch the world go by while enjoying a simple but tasty meal."

Bobbie Weller dined on Hob Nob burgers, chili and
writes on 11/9/2002 "This is an excellent old time eatery with
wonderful breezy outdoor ambience and casual every day American
food. The place is very clean with neat picnic tables under a
roof. The service is very fast and the waitresses friendly. We
ordered burgers, French fries, onion rings, coleslaw and chili
and every bite was truly delicious! Hope the Hob Nob stays right
where it is in Sarasota for many years to come."
