I have been eating at the hobnob for over 40 years. The new renovations are lovely. Food was very good as usual. Do not at all care for servers wearing jeans and a hobnob T-shirt. You couldn't tell someone off the street from someone who might be helping you. Not at all the professional look that you expect.

I've been going to this place for a long time and always found the food very good for the value of what it cost, our experience on Father's Day. Sunday was terrible. The service was awful! Nobody in our group liked their food because as none of it was not prepared properly, i was so disappointed, but they kept telling me the restaurants is under new management, so good luck to the new management and what used to be a great place to go hangout and eat!

We loved our lunch at the re-done Hob Nob! Not much has changed. Still beautiful inside, refreshed. Food was excellent, similar menu as before. Excellent desserts. We were so happy to see some familiar faces in the service staff, including our favorite server Fabiola, who's waited on us for more than 20 years. We will look forward to returning again soon.

I've been a long time fan of Hob Nob but since the change of ownership, the menu is different, not offering a variety as they had before. I guess they are looking for a different clientele. We loved the fried pickles and food wasn't bad. Our server was great, very friendly and personable and likable.

I used to come to Hob Nob years ago and was very excited to come back to try again. Even better than I remembered! Staff was excellent as always and the food was AMAZING. Looking forward to coming back.

We ordered two bloody Mary's and our order at the same time. It took a half an hour to get two bloody Mary's. Then our order came about 20 minutes later. The food was OK nothing spectacular. Then when we went to go pay with cash we were told they only take credit cards. There was no signage that I saw and nobody told us ahead of time that we had to pay with a credit card. There seem to be more Indians and not enough Chiefs running the place. I've always like going to hobnob Hill for Mother's Day, but I don't know that I'll return.

Classic San Diego eatery recently sold to new owners. Same delicious food, with a smaller menu (we went during soft opening) but the choices were perfect. Legacy staff still there. Kitchen has been updated for the chef teams (per our waitress). Same clean, lovely environment. Had Mother's Day breakfast with my son at 10a and it was awesome.

Always a great experience, food is delicious, service is efficient and ambient is always pleasant.

Service was slow; perhaps short kitchen staff. Wait persons were attentive and friendly. Potatoes were not as good as O'Brian potatoes per the previous owner.,Eggs, sausage patty, and gravy biscuits were excellent as was fresh squeezed orange juice. Biggest disappointment was the vibe. The make over resulted in a very nice diner but not distinctive as was the old Hob Bob. My first thought was, Where is the mural? I recognize the “new” Hob Nob just opened with reduced hours and will certainly return.. Change is hard and 4 stars is a great start. Looking forward to a 5 stars experience next time.

Way overpriced for diner food. Stale toast and we were charged $3.00 for extra cheese which was about a teaspoon of feta. I would not go back.
We made it back for their first day of opening and I could not have been more impressed and or appreciative! Restaurant was just like it used to be, but with a fresh clean twist to it and food was extraordinary and bakery was even better!

Came here for breakfast early in the morning and it wasn't busy at all. Fast service. Good fresh orange juice. The meat lover's-ish omelette just had a slice of cheese on the top and no cheese on the inside which I thought was off, only reason for the 4 star rating. Warm biscuit and potatoes O'Brien were good. After tip I spent $30.

I gave this place a chance, against the advice of other reviewers. Wish I had listened. Food ranged from bland to blah. Cheese on scrambled eggs was not melted, just a plastic-like glob on top. Mediocre place bordering on bad

I wanted to like this place because I like most places reviewed by triple D. It’s just not very good. Comfort food meatloaf is dry. Deviled eggs were old and tasteless. Service was great. Ambience great. Nice people. But I would not come back.
