Wonderful atmosphere with laid back service. Don’t need to be in a hurry because it’s a fun place to sit back and enjoy others company. Food is outstanding. The flavored teas are awesome & the German potato salad is my favorite! Everything is fresh & the soups are delicious! Can’t say enough.

This is THE place to be in Cleburne! Perfect ambiance for a ladies’ day out, a lunch with your family, or just some ‘me’ time. I have been on several occasions, and they have never let me down. Great IG photo opportunities with the raised tables in the front and the mood lighting in the back and a little candy shop to calm your sweet tooth…but if you ever get the chance to try the Dole Whip – TAKE IT!!!

Absolutely fantastic food. We are pretty new around town and we were pleased to find this spot. Sadly the most mentioned salad bar is not longer available.

The food was okay they could have less oil. the service was okay, I had to ask for drink refills every time I needed one..and the bathroom had graphic (genitalia) on the bathroom door. THIS NOT A FAMILY FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT. I will not be eating here again. I was very glad that I did not have my kids with me and I did not have to have conversation that we are not ready for.

I moved from Cleburne a few years ago, but every time I am in town I make a point to eat here because the Hob Gobbler. My sister, mom, and I were in last week on a very busy Friday. The wait was long, but we were not about to leave. The owner asked the party of 2 in front of us if they were okay with sitting at a table that usually sits 8. They were happy to do it and even suggested that the next party in line (us 3) could join them. The owner was hesitant but when asked we were absolutely fine with it. We made 2 new friends, Pat and John, and we all laughed and get to know each other over delicious food! Communal seating for the win!!! also, get the coconut tea!!!

Good food. Thought the portion of meat compared to bread was disappointing. Three bites and the meat was gone. The next nine bites were bread. I have included a pic.

I ordered the Grilled Chicken Salad. A very simple dish. When it came out it had a glob of shredded, boiled chicken in the middle. For some people this may not be an issue but for me, it was. I do not like boiled chicken as it has a strange taste in my opinion. I did take a bite of it, to give it a chance. It was luke warm, very little seasoning if any at all, and watery juice squished out of it and I instantly knew I had to send it back. I asked the waitress for a plain piece of grilled chicken (like I thought I ordered) and she informed me that they don’t have grilled chicken on fridays. Which I thought was strange because the salad called for grilled chicken. Anyways, the waitress was nice enough and got me something different. My issues started when the owner, Lori, came to my table and aggressively said “what’s the problem here” I replied, “there is no problem, with a smile” she then started acting very passive aggressive and was questioning me. I simply told her I can’t eat boiled chicken and she kept arguing and making faces at me saying, “well that’s the way we do it here so i don’t know what you want”. This was a very uncomfortable situation and I feel like she was speaking very loudly on purpose to try and embarrass us. The bottom line is, it was called a grilled chicken salad and it was not grilled chicken. There was no need to be aggressive and defensive. There was also no need to approach me at all. The waitress had handled the situation. You know she was out of line when the waitress apologizes for the way the owner spoke to you.. customer service is everything and Lori has ZERO.

Perfect lunch spot! We often have our Rotary Club board meetings here as they have a big table in the back room that’s perfect for a meeting. I had Mr. Beefy and it was great.
