There were roaches every where. I would have left if I didn't notice before eating. Food and service was amazing but bugs are not.

Great food. Not fast food by any stretch. Well worth the little time it takes. The bakery ne t door is great too.

Food was so good unfortunately the staff was overwhelmed and doing too much at once. Made for extremely long wait times even in the Middle of ordering (took 15 minutes to order 4 meals because the hostess kept leaving to do other things). Then to top it off, after finally ordering and receiving our order we noticed we were sitting next to an entire colony of the German cockroaches (known for being around grime and filth). The concerns were brought to an employee to which the response was “sorry we’ve been infested and the extermination process made them migrate to front of house”. It’s a shame that we will not be going back because the food is good.

So let me start with the food is usually good but roaches in your sweet tea is an absolute Hell No! Especially when you don’t know until you remove the lid and getting ready to finish your drink. I’m going to miss you HOBO. These little roaches infest places so…

Consistently delicious food here. I can't recall a time I was unsatisfied, whether it was a to-go or dine in. I highly recommend the fish sandwich, but you can't really go wrong with any menu item. My family and I love this place; it is our favorite place to eat in Watkinsville.

The fried shrimp was delicious. It has 10 huge shrimp lightly battered and cooked to perfection. The side of fried okra was really good too.

Despite the somewhat humble menu, Traveling Hobo offers food to write home about! Everything is well prepared and absolutely delicious!This visit I treat the Reuben burger, a perfectly cooked burger patty smothered in corned beef, Swiss cheese and tangy thousand island dressing served on a grilled bun. The accompanying tater tots were crispy and piping hot. You could see them steaming. Now that's fresh!The service at the Traveling Hobo was friendly and efficient. I appreciated the table service and attentive wait staff.The atmosphere is part diner, part home and the dining area was well maintained.I highly recommend a visit to the Traveling Hobo. I know I'm going back. And I understand that they have cheesecake Tuesdays. Sounds intriguing!

I have been here several times, but every time, the burgers are overcooked. Delicious options and huge burgers but dry. However, that cheesecake is killer!!!
