Description

The sandwiches and burgers are the stars at the Hobbit Cafe, particularly the Martinique burger, a mountainous half-pound patty of Angus beef with so many messy toppings that you practically need to be hosed down when done eating. We still can't figure out how the Hobbit prepares its delicious tabbouleh, but we'll have to keep ordering it at this little house near Upper Kirby until we can reverse-engineer the recipe at home. It's all enough to make even Smaug the dragon happy.

    Cute little place along with great service! I had the LAMB BURGER yes LAMB BURGER BTW YUM-O! My waitress suggested feta cheese and she nailed it, it went very well with the burger. Fruit was fresh not your regular old grapes and apple joint they actually cut fresh varieties of fruit for a nice fresh fruit salad which is a plus for me. I will definitely be returning to this cottage house again.

    This is a great place for the whole spectrum of eating habits. From veg*ns to avowed carnivores. You can get great veggie plates like the volcanic Numenor (I recommend getting it with Tofu). You can also get a wide selection of burgers and other meaty dishes. They have flavorful salsa and guacamole. In a city full of great Mexican establishments, it's quite a pleasant surprise to find such good dipping outside of the range of mariachi music. If you like beer they have a wide selection of craft brews and a fine patio on which to drink them. The only drawback to the Hobbit Cafe is that the parking is pretty abysmal and the service (while fantastically friendly accurate) can be slow.

  • 2009 | Best Vegetarian-Friendly Restaurant

    There was a time when we couldn't imagine the Hobbit Hole existing anywhere other than the ramshackle, shire-like house on Shepherd, and we doubted its ability to survive in its new incarnation -- The Hobbit Cafe -- and new location, on Richmond. Defying expectations, the cozy little restaurant is just as popular now as it always was, and the vegetarian-oriented food is no exception. With filled-to-bursting veggie sandwiches like Smaug's Delight, Thorin Oakenshield and Dwalin or... More »
