The food is good, however, the frequent smokers make it impossible to enjoy eating. Other than the expensive OJ, the food at ihop is just as enjoyable…

Like the old days. We stopped in for lunch. I went all out getting a Hob Nob (double cheeseburger), subbed for onion rings, and a chocolate shake. It was all good. The burger was a little greasy, the onion rings more so, the chocolate shake past delicious. No 50s music, just traffic noise, but still a nice experience. Service was friendly.Today was an absolutely beautiful day, very sunny and a little breezy. Breezy means you need to pay a little attention to things like napkins that can blow around. The Hob Nob is a Sarasota icon, sitting at the corner of Washington Blvd (US301) and 17th St. It had a fairly recent renovation but did not lose any of its charm. All seating is outdoors but they do have plastic protection in case of weather. You can also drive up to a few spots in the front and receive car service. An old style drive-in, no talking through speakers or getting food through windows.I did not see anyone smoking but there were ashtrays on the tables, in case that is important for you to know.
The food is good, however, the frequent smokers make it impossible to enjoy eating. Other than the expensive OJ, the food at ihop is just as enjoyable to me.

Karenbike. I was hungry for a burger and fries and this hit the spot. It wasn’t close to us bu worth the drive. We sat at the counter and I had a orange creamsickle Edy’s milkshake, cheeseburger and fries. The sauce on the hamburger was really good- a little like the Big Mac sauce. Since this is outdoor eating, the biggest problem were bees. I’d go back anytime.
Breakfast… Fabulous. Coffee milkshake…. Super fabulous Burger and hot dog….. Damn fabulous.22 Apr, 2012So good went twice in the same day!
Ultimate Indulgence. It doesn’t matter what diet you’re on, Hob Nob will bring it to its knees. Every item on the menu is a flashback to the heyday of drive-up food stands. I am not convinced that they actually HAVE a kitchen. I think they have a time portal back there and they simply ZWOOP the food and shakes from some heavenly, idealized version of 1956. The burgers are luscious and perfectly (if VERY traditionally) topped. The fries are crinkle-cut directly out of the word delicious and the onion rings should be illegal. The shakes are so thick and rich that the straw is really a waste. If you come here for the service, that’s okay – the food will make you forget it on your first bite anyway. It’s a DRIVE-UP people. You are here to be transformed into your greaser or poodle-skirted alter ego through food. Go with it.
