Honestly… was extremely surprised by the quality of the food. Wish there was more LOTR/Hobbit decor on the patio but overall really great portions and delicious options! My friends and I had a wonderful experience here. My friend got the infamous burger thing haha and he really enjoyed it.
We were so excited to visit Hobbit Cafe! As Tolkien fans, this place has everything! Great decor, an amazing list of burgers with ingredients and descriptions linked to characters...all that going for them, and they totally fall on their face at the finish line. One bite into my Boromir Boudin Burger, the bun started to fall apart. A few more bits, and the bun was disintegrating! I mentioned this to our server, who simply responded "yeah, everyone says that." REALLY - then why don't you do anything about it??? Oh, and forget getting your burger cooked as your ordered it. I ordered medium rare, daughter ordered rare...we both got well done. Mentioned that to the server, her reply was "yeah, that happens all the time." This place has been around a long time, so I feel you ought to be able to expect better than that. So many awesome menu items, I want to return, but...
All around excellent! While sometimes different than I thought it would be, the food was great! The only thing I ate that wasn't made in house were the seasoned fries, I think. Worth more than one visit for sure!
The environment and staff was great. Love the option of indoor and outdoor seating. The Meadle-Earth burger was okay. I felt the patty was a little dry but the caramelized onions and mead mushrooms did bring it up a little bit. The wheat bread is welcomed as it is a heath-conscious item, but I feel it didn’t help the dryness of the meat. Sweet potato fries were good, and so were the Goblin (fried) Pickles. I appreciated the light batter on the pickles. I am not a huge LOTR fan but I do appreciate the niche stylistic choices and themed food items. I also did not drink during my visit but I appreciate the large Mead, Beer, and wine selection.
Extremely unique and full of LOTR memorabilia and maps. Burgers and food in general are quite good, and their vast selection of mead in unparalleled outside of a Renaissance fair. We really enjoyed the mead flight, for example. LOTR themed menu. Very highly recommend.
