Went there Friday night and enjoyed every bit of it. It was a little strange to walk in and you order it like a fast food place. I was expecting a sit down restaurant where they wait on you, but that's not this place. Food was excellent, and you feel appreciated when you're there. I definitely recommend this place to eat. You won't regret the decision to do so.

Always excellent service and food is packed with flavor! Great atmosphere and staff. Have ordered togo and dined in quite a few times. I see lots of reviews talking about the TVs. I for one have never had a issue not watching them if I’m with my significant other. I have seen plenty of people eating alone that entertain themselves by watching them. Or even a large family with kids watching the Disney channel. I personally think it’s a great idea. You can also choose to sit outside away from the TV’s or the tables near the door are away from them totally. � GREAT Food, even better staff! We enjoy every visit!

Like Angela's review, I'd prefer to lose the giant TV's as I do not like seeing politics when I feed/nourish my body. Other than that, I love this place. Our server was helpful and attentive. I love the burgers ; I had the Reuben burger and my friend said the hamburger steak was wonderful. We tried the giant Banana Split and it was awesome! My friend liked the homemade lemonade once she added her full allotment of sugar water; it's nice they let you choose how tart you like it.

My husband chose this restaurant for his 50th birthday yesterday and I'm glad he did. The food was totally awesome, the portion size was way more than we expected and the staff was very nice. We will definitely visit again!

My wife and I shared the chili cheese fries and a 10 ounce burger with cheddar cheese, bacon and a fried egg. Overall, really good food. We will go back and try other items on the menu.

I got the pattymelt with the box fries, it was amazing. I highly recommend it. Fried pickles were the best I've had.

Absolutely love the food here. I almost always get the Traveling Elvis, which has never diaaaoointed. The fish and chips has two enormous filets. Both regular and sweet potatoes fries are perfect every time.

I have taken the challenge and won against the donut burger! It was fabulous. The shrimp basket is always a pleaser! The fish and chips basket is to much for the mortal man to eat! Great portions, great flavors and always great value and service. This is a must try, it doesn't get packed because people don't like it!

Their burgers are delicious! Fresh and made to order. You must try the box car fries! These are no ordinary fries. Wide and thick potato spirals, coated and fried. There's nothing like them. Quality, delicious food and super nice people. Great for lunch or dinner. And unique cheese cake creations.

My wife and I stopped here for lunch today. It was right at noon and I was afraid we were going to be a while getting our food. Orders were being taken at the counter and most tables were filled with customers. After only a few minutes in line we ordered and found a table and fixed our drinks. Maybe about ten minutes later, our food arrived, hot and fresh. The wife had a BLT with avocado and half order of fried dill pickles as her side. I had the fried green tomato burger with box car fries. The food was cooked to order and very good. I am glad we stopped!

Cute place with a nice vibe. We went on a busy Friday evening and, as the signs and extended wait times stated, they were woefully understaffed. The staff that they did have were friendly, welcoming, genuinely caring, efficient-if-a-bit-harried, and very apologetic for the wait times. When the food did come out it was right and it was delicious. We'll be back... Just maybe not on a Friday night next time. 😁

Have been wanting to try this place for a little while now, based on good reviews online and from friends. It was ok. I give an extra star for the fact that all work was done by only 2 people, due to being short staffed. They truly did an amazing job getting out as many meals as they did.

My first experience at this place was wonderful. Service was spectacular. Even though the parking lot was slammed it did not take long for my food to come out. What do you see pictured is a Reuben Burger. I had never heard of it in my life before today, I did not realize what I was missing. I will definitely be making more trips to this location anytime I'm in the area.

I had a great night at this place. The environment is very friendly and for a Wednesday night it was pretty busy. The burger was fresh, thick, and juicy and the price was reasonable. The 15 minutes drive from Athens was definitely worth it!

I don't come to Athens often, but when I do if I have time I try to eat at the Traveling Hobo. I usually get the fish or seafood plate with a side of fried pickles. The shrimp are great as is the fried cod.
