We had avoided all HOBNOBs due to a really bad experience we had at the Piedmont location in 2015. Even though that location has been closed for a few years and other HOBNOB location have opened up, we didn't really have the desire to give HOBNOB another chance ... until recently. On a whim, I wanted to see if the restaurant chain had changed, and - OH MY - it has!
This location is at the much improved Ashford Lane shopping center. There are both a large parking lot next to HOBNOB, and a free multi-level parking garage tucked away in the back corner behind Superica. To get to the parking garage, either drive north past Jeni's, veer left, and you'll see the structure, OR turn onto Olde Perimeter Way from Meadow Lane Road and make an immediate right. You'll literally drive into the parking garage.
We walked in, were immediately greeted, taken quickly to a table and given menus. Our server came by to introduce herself and get our drink orders. We were seated in a perfect area. From our table, we could watch several different TV monitors tuned to sports channels. The interior decor theme was western, and there were a lot of wood details. This location has what looks like dining areas that are separated from each other by use of low walls. There is a bar inside, and a roomy fenced outdoor patio. This definitely has a bar/tavern feel, rather than a restaurant, and the place can get loud.
I ordered the Americana Burger and R ordered the pork belly tacos. We didn't have to wait that long for our food. I loved my burger. It was an overall solid burger, was flavored perfectly and cooked medium well as I had requested it. This burger had two beef patties that totaled half a lb, and had lettuce, tomato, red onion, American cheese, dill pickles on a brioche bun, with fries and not so secret sauce on the side. R also loved his tacos - pickled red onions, hoisin sauce, cilantro and pork belly, each on a flour tortilla. Our server was also perfect, stopping by periodically to see if we needed anything and asking if everything was ok or we needed refills. We will definitely return.
