Hungry Hobo — Restaurant in Le Claire Township

I have never been here before, I came up for a wedding and was staying at the hotel next door. I came in with my son and the cashier I assume was Samantha (that’s what my receipt says) was very short with me and looked at me like I was an idiot when I asked if my son could get applesauce instead of a pudding. I was unaware I was supposed to just grab it. After we ate I decided to get a cake, I am very indecisive and had bought the pumpkin spice but then before I left the counter I asked if I could get the chocolate cake instead since they are the same price and she said “no.” I asked if she was serious and she said it would throw off their inventory. I worked in retail for a long time and you can adjust inventory manually. Obviously she just didn’t want to be bothered. She said she would have to refund the transaction on to my card and teeing it. I said ok let’s do that. She fumbled with the computer for what seemed like forever and I finally said just forget it and took the cake I didn’t want and decided to leave a review instead. The sandwiches were mediocre at best. The waffle fries were ok. I don’t know how the cake is but I would not recommend coming here and now realize why we were the only ones in the...

I would not visit again. Service is awful. Employees were not helpful in any way. Even after making it clear we have never been here before, I tried asking what was most popular. There are photos on the menu, apparently I should not have pointed that out asking about if the photo is the most popular sandwich, as the girl made sure to tell me she doesn’t know what’s up there in a snarky way. The food was not great. Was told the sandwiches are a “footlong” or the hot sandwiches are half a foot long. My sandwiches were maybe 4-4 1/2 inches… math isn’t mathing with what they showed us the size is. The fries were definitely reheated, not fresh. Terrible. No sauce??? Or maybe there was but the employees don’t offer much assistance. I’d give no stars, not worth the money. I would go across the street to the McDonald’s for better service and food unfortunately. I’m sorry your business doesn’t appreciate business walking...

There used to be a Hungry Hobo in Cedar Rapids years ago. They shut it down without notice.

Instead of a 45 minute drive to eat at Hungry Hobo, it now takes nearly 2 hours from Cedar Falls.

FRUSTRATING cuz the food is/was always SO good!!

The food is ALWAYS great at this location!!

The staff is ALWAYS awesome as well!!

The restaurant and it's facilities are ALWAYS clean!!

If you leave this place hungry, it's your own fault.

Just an FYI... DO NOT get the cheese sauce on anything!! It's NASTY!!

I recommend the hot roast beef with swiss!!

My only complaint... they don't give military/veterans a discount. WTF???

I'll keep making the drive from Cedar Falls, BUT... someone owes me gas...
