No big deal
I enjoy the food and service. It can get a bit loud inside.

Great food, the omelet and blueberry cake in particular. The blueberry cake was huge! The mimosas seemed small at first glance, but once you take a sip you tasted how delicious they were. Bottomless black coffee was awesome - I'm not a regular black coffee drinker, so I don't know if that is standard. Servers were very kind, patient, and helpful; in fact, as as we were leaving a server ran out to catch us before we left, to return to us my lady friend's water bottle that she has left behind.

Honestly for a first time visit, it was way better than I expected. It was cozy and warm for a cold morning, the food was great like homemade recipes. A Curio type of vibe that I would come back to very soon!

We love Hobees! Still tasty after all these years. Coffeecake to live for, cinnamon tea to clean your palate. We come whenever we are in the area.

Parking was poor. The back parking lot has room for only one car width so cars leaving/ coming in can require several cars to back up in tandem. Backup parking at hotel was not easy to find. Good for outdoor seating but after checking in and getting a table, not any server attention for a long time, for example we never were asked if we wanted drinks by anyone. Order was wrong for 3:5 of us. Special order of pears for special topping were bitter as if the butter had gone bad or cleaning fluid was still on grill. They did a great job of adding protein powder to the buttermilk pancakes for me. I love Hobees as a chain but with the parking problems, and getting the orders wrong, I worried that given we have food allergies, I couldn't trust them to get details right. Sunnyvale and San Jose sites. I give 5 stars to. To be fair. It was a weekend so could have been too busy but it still made our experience poor.

Cold classic, how are you not going to give Hobees 5 stars

The food is amazing. The service is good. The place could use a refresh. Lots of love plants help, but not enough windows, so not enough natural light makes it darker than necessary. Plus, either the central system is broken or nonexistent, as heaters were placed by the front door and back of the restaurant.
The wait staff is overwhelmed. They were tired and looked it. Don't get me wrong. Very friendly! But, their eyes and smiles - all stiff. You could tell that they were waiting for the day to come to an end.
But, here's the best part, no matter how tired they were, they always smiled and NEVER rushed us. That's why I gave them 5 stars for service.
We ordered breakfast for lunch. Yum! You can't really go wrong with that. And, they didn't. Great food.
Overall, a good place to pop in for a bite to eat.

They advertise lower prices on their website but have higher prices on their menus in the restaurant.
Genuine breakfast place! Everything was great except it was hard to reach for my server.

Hobee's is one of the best places to get breakfast or brunch. Or at any time. They have a great selection of omelets. I have always asked for a side of pico de gallo for my omelet. Only because I like a lil with my food. The Cinnamon orange spice tea is something you definitely need to try. It's great as a cup of hot tea ☕️ or as a glass of iced tea. Also a must try is the blueberry coffee cake. Everything that we have ever ordered has been delicious.
