First thing, the pit beans were the bomb!!! I dont think I have ever had such tasty beans. The rest of the food was very good as well. Next time im in the area, I will be there.

Three of us had breakfast here on 7.16.22 and we were immediately greeted by Bob. Our waitress was fast and friendly. Got my coffee before I even looked at what to order. I didn’t care for the deep fried home fries but everything else was great. The brisket flavored beans were our favorite. This place is a bit dated but that’s just part of the Island Pond environment. Come as you are.

Had an ok breakfast here on eclipse day. Although the atmosphere was good, the service was unfortunately extremely slow – we waited for nearly an hour to be seated, and then another hour to be served, presumably because of the large crowds in town for the event. The breakfast was also just ok – the brisket hash omelette was on the bland side and the toast was decent but a bit overdone for my taste. The beans were amazing, however – would definitey have those again if I had the chance.

Many times, side dishes aren’t the main event… BUT my omelette came with a side of smoked beans and I wanted to lick the bowl clean! Great food and nice company in this small but tasty joint.

This place Will give you a sore neck looking around at all the awesome architecture done by these people. Their food was unbelievably good. The staff was very friendly. I recommend the butternut squash soup they really know what they’re doing when they cook. Their bread is homemade with great stuff in it. You have to experience this on your own I tell you you will not regret it. They’re sandwiches are so good I can’t wait to go back for lunch again.

No doubt the beautiful area of Island Pond was a very special place to Native Americans for thousands of years- in rmore recent history it was special to those who rode the rails from Monteral to Potland and stopped in this train hub town. Now what we find very special there is the little gem of a restaurant , “HOBO’s”. Run by a Dad and his master chef son, the ribs and brisket we experienced there were off the graph in flavor. Everything was fall off the bone quality with stunningly good rubs and barbecue sauces home made by this very talented chef. The restaurant is right downtown and has a railroad motif to complement the town’s history. Everything was spotless with fast and attentive service. Do yourselves a favor – take a beautiful drive through Vermont to Island Pond and visit Hobo’s for “to die for” ribs.

We came on the day of the eclipse, when hordes of folks from out of state descended on this small town. The folks running the restaurant were wonderful. We waited a while for the table as the kitchen was overwhelmed, but we expected that (and had nothing to do but wait for the solar show anyway!). The staff were SO nice to our group of 7 (the 4 kids sat at their own table). The food was EXCELLENT. I had a delicious breakfast sandwich, the kids loved their pancakes, the bacon was cooked perfectly, and all of the members of my party loved their food. The owner was friendly and continuously made sure everyone was happy and the bathrooms were clean (they were! so clean!). All in all, this was a great place to eat full of lovely people in a delightful and friendly town. Highly recommend, and we will be back next time we are nearby!

Definitely worth it if you can get there during their limited hours. BBQ is hard to find in the area, good BBQ even rarer.
