Hob Nob Corner is a restaurant deserving of 5-stars more than most retaurants. In this case, it isn't about being the best, or the most popular (though the Hob Nob is popular), and it certainly isn't about being the most attractive. What it is about is the experience. Hob Non Corner transports you back in time to an era that will never be seen again. Hob No Corner, or as most people call it "The Hob Nob" started life a sundries and dry goods store in 1868 and later became Miller's Drug Store which featured a soda fountain. The Hob Nob as we know it today started in 1979 and is still run by the same family today. The building remains basically untouched. The original wood floors are still there. They have been worn with time. They are uneven and they squeak. The soda fountain bar is still there as is the huge shelf where jars of remedies were stored. The center piece of the shelves is a large mirror squarely place in the center. Pictures from a bygone era are scattered the walls and if you look closely, give you a sense of what life was like in Nashville, Indiana during the late 1800's and early 1900's.
The staff are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Outside of the family, some of the staff have been there for a very long time. They make you feel welcome and part of the family. The Hob Nob is the defacto place where the locals go, mostly for breakfast when the tourists aren't filling the place to capacity. In a word... home.
The building, the history, and the staff alone aren't what keep the people coming back, it's the food. The food is comfort with class. The chef at the Hob Nob uses locally sourced goods from all round the area. Everything is scratch made and I mean everything! So much so that when you check out, there is a case full of breads and cookies that are made in the kitchen. So when you leave full and content, you can take some of the Hob Nob with you.
I have eaten at the Hob Nob for almost as long as they have been open and I will continue to go for as long as I can. Today, I will highlight my favorite breakfast offering... Logger's Hash. The Logger's Hash consists of two eggs cooked how you like atop a bed of hash-browned potatoes, onions, red & green peppers, and smoked sausage. You get your choice of toast - Onion Dill, Wheat, or White or English muffin. My favorite and go-to is the Onion Dill bread with strawberry jam. Now, I know what you are thinking.... Onion Dill bread does not go with strawberry jam. Oh how wrong you are! I could subsist on a breakfast of just Onion Dill bread and strawberry jam. I have converted many people! All the other items on the menu are just as good and deserve a cult following as I do with the Logger's Hash, Onion Dill bread, and the strawberry jam. A big plus is eating at Hob Nob Corner won't break the bank. The prices are good, the amount of food you get is fair, and the food is always good!
There are so many more things to do in Nashville, which you should make plans to come see and do, and the Hob Nob should be number one on your radar for places to eat!
