This place is a St. Charles Co. GEM! It’s a family owned and run restaurant/bar/grill. Food is outstanding. Service is quick and friendly. If you’re going to dine in, expect a wait (well worth the wait). Ordering takeout is a breeze….they text when your order is ready, you go in to pay at one window, then pick up at the other window. Prices are so reasonable….we had a party of four for lunch and our bill was under $50. My personal favorite is the fried pork tenderloin sandwich~it is HUGE and so tasty. Their burgers are phenomenal and fried chicken is to die for. If you haven’t been to Hobo’s yet~what are you waiting for?!?!

Hobo's in St. Peters is a true local favorite and for good reason--the food is consistently fantastic. Their fried chicken is some of the best around: crispy, juicy, and perfectly seasoned every single time. The pork steaks and ribs are just as impressive, tender and full of that rich, smoky flavor that keeps you coming back for more And don't overlook their pizza--seriously t's outstanding. Great crust, great toppings and a flavor that can compete with any dedicated pizzeria. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming and the service is always friendly and attentive. Whether you're dining in or grabbing food to go, Hobo's delivers quality across the board. If you're in St. Peters and craving comfort food done right, Hobo's is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

I had seen a Facebook post about Hobos saying what great food they have, there were photos of the pork tenderloin sandwich and knew I had to try it. I live about an hour away but was in the area with my grandson so we decided to stop for lunch and can say without a doubt it was worth the drive and the wait for a table. While waiting we spoke with a lovely couple who raved about how great the chicken is, they weren't wrong! My grandson ordered the Mozzarella sticks and the Half Cluck chicken meal, I ordered Freddie the Freeloader, pork tenderloin sandwich and highly recommend it. The service was great, the food was fresh,hot and absolutely delicious! We will definitely be back! Even if it's a bit of a drive you should make the trip and try this place!

This is definitely on our return visit list. Our server Teresa is amazing. As busy as the dining room was, she kept tabs on us and made sure we were well taken care of. The toasted ravioli was flavorful served with a good sauce. And the deep fried clans were served hot and full of flavor. Fried chicken was perfectly prepared. Too hot to eat when it was brought to the table. Tender pork steak that you didn't need a knife. Some of the best pizza around. Thin flavorful crust covered in plenty of toppings. Staff were all friendly and courteous. Willing to help and answer any questions. Highly recommend next time you are in the area.

Cheap food and good eats, what more could a person want? The staff is always friendly and the restaurant is always packed which is a testimony to how good the food is.

The food was awesome. The atmosphere was solid. The service was great, with no complaints all around. The chicken strips were hit and juicy, and the fires were crispy. The chicken sandwich was great juicy, and the buns were soft. The pulled pork was saucy and very good. The jalapeño poppers were surprisingly amazing. The montzerella sticks were solid. Overall, I would come back again, and it is a good recommendation with only a 10 minute wait.

It was my first time visiting Hobo’s establishment. I know this is a really bold statement, but that was by far the best fried chicken I’ve tasted in my lifetime. I do a job that requires me to travel which means I get to try food from all over the place and I would definitely recommend Hobo’s as a must try if you were ever in Saint Peters Missouri. I look forward to my return and getting plate number two.

Loved it! We stopped here around 2pm on a Saturday on a road trip, and it was packed with a line. We were quickly sat w/i 15mins, and we got our food around 20-30mins. Wow. My “not so hungry” parents finished 3 catfish each. I had the “half a cluck” chicken dinner which was great. Coleslaw and mashed potatoes were recommended sides. Our neighbors said people come for the food and prices, and they weren’t wrong.
