I tell ya what, I’m still fantasizing about this chicken fried steak I had last weekend at the Hobo Haus. Well, it used to be called the Hobo Haus back when old men like me were young, and eggs didn’t cost sixty bucks a dozen.
Simpler times, perhaps.
But here’s the thing—what the old-timers and folks who wish America were still stuck in the 1950s with Tradwives and Chain Smoking are missing is that chicken fried steak this good actually exists.
After all, this is America.
Land of the free. Home of the gravy.
I’m telling you, this thing hit me so hard I time-traveled back to last week. Flavor punch straight to the gut. If you ever find yourself in the northern annals of California Jr and have a hankerin' for hearty home cooking, swing by The Hobo (yep, it’s just The Hobo now) in Newfolden—a stone’s throw off old Highway 59.
It’s still the same Highway 59 it always was, but slap “old” in front of any highway number, and suddenly, it’s got more street cred among foodies. Route 66 is still cashing in on America’s longing for nostalgia, so I figured I’d throw old Route 59 a little helping hand and maybe get it some attention.
The chicken-fried dream was the night’s special, the main event, so there’s a chance it won’t be on the menu. But if you’re fortunate, you might score some of this creamy creation, black out in a calorie-fueled fever dream, and wake up with no clue where the hell you are—acid reflux be damned.
I believe I’ve just given you the coordinates for the belly of the American Dream.
You’re welcome.
The Hobo. Newfolden, Minnesota. You betcha.

The Hobo makes you feel right at home. The atmosphere is great and friendly staff. The food I can not rave enough about so worth the 45 mile drive is so worth it. 5 stars all the way around!

Great food, clean and friendly atmosphere, affordable, and accommodating for events! Totally recommend them for hosting wedding dances, birthday parties, harvest parties, you name it!

I ordered the inferno hot wings they came with feathers, absolutely disgusting (unless you like your wings with feathers still). My crispy chicken salad they sent tarter sauce or something when I had ordered ranch. Burgers were ok, fries, onions rings were ok, mozzarella sticks ok they didn't send sauce though had to go back and ask.

Quite possibly the best burger I have ever eaten. Drinks were stiff, and the ice was cold. Can't wait to try some more of the grub off of the menu. The wife aldo picked up a nice-looking hoodie sweatshirt from the "The Hobo."
