The Hob Nob used to be owned by two women and the food was fabulous - homemade soup, the works. Then several years ago they sold it to someone who owns several other restaurants in the area, he folded it into his chain and everything went downhill. It went from being a wonderful, personable home cooking spot to just another... More

The Hob Nob is too tough, too blue-collar, and too crunchy-good to succumb to the tsunami-like gentrification of Tacoma. All I can say is, "Thank God!" Any atheists are welcome to thank the random interaction of subatomic particles.

We first ate here several years ago and found it to be acceptable. I've waited a week to post this as I wanted to allow some time to pass so that I could give a fair review.

The food has gone downhill...hot turkey sandwich..yuk! Turkey dried out..served on French bread that was old and should have been used for French toast...skimpy gravy...tasted like leftovers that were left over too long. The prices are up...the food has gone down...way down!

We use to drive out of our way to go here but with the last experience I will have to find a new place for a great breakfast.... More

Great breakfast, I had crab benedict. This place has been there for some time and I'm sure has some cool history. You'll have to park on the street, but that wasn't a problem on a week day. I'd recommend this place to anyone and it is even better if you can catch up with an old friend while you are... More
