Hobnobbers

I just checked this place out during a softball tournament! The beer nuggets looked good on Instagram but … Ehhh. Large portions of fluffy bread.
Pizza was small thin slices so a friend had to have 3 slices for the equivalent of a normal pizza size.
Parm fries — leave these! No cheese and just a basket of greasy fries! This calls for a new recipe!
Wraps and cinna nuggets were good!
This place has a good vibe, pretty clean and air condition cool!

It is a great neighborhood Sports Bar with a pizza parlor attached to it. The Waitresses are friendly and the patrons are very pleasant. The bar food is excellent and on the pizza side there are games for young adults and children to play. They have a great selection of brewskis and a wide selection of liquor. I go there with my cousin because I am from out of state and we have a great time there. There are plenty of TVs available to watch your favorite sporting event.

Went here for dinner. Two adults three boys under 11. Bill was around $ 68.00. When we first walked in I liked the feel of the place, laid back the bar is a large horseshoe– place was pretty clean and our server was very attentive. So far so good. The Parmesan nuggets were good… then spaghetti was cold and chicken was over cooked. The burger looked good but had to much sauce. My pizza liven son did not even finish a price of his pizza — I did not taste it so I can’t say if it was good or not. So maybe a bad cook that night … I don’t think we will be returning

Great sports bar, excellent pizza with drive thru window on your way home. Beef roll, burgers, and nuggets are very good. Service is good. The noise kept me from giving a ⁵⁄₅.

Great place for watching your favorite sport team on tv. Bar tenders are great, the food is very good, and drinks are reasonable priced. Pizzas are very good and spaghetti is excellent.

Love the food and staff at Hobnobbers in Metairie. Everything thus far has been excellent. I appreciate the fact you are allowed to substitute a side item; that means a lot to me due to the fact there are some things I simply don’t like and/​or not able to have due to health issues.

This place was packed, about 90% full. our drinks, appetizers and Main coarses came out as if we were the only people in the restaurant! amazingly SPEEDY service and prices were great!!! Very nice place!!!

Typical sports bar with lots of TVs. The place is family friendly. We saw quite a few younger kids eating with their parents. You must try the garlic Parmesan beer nuggets. Those doughy morsels of goodness are AMAZING! They practically melt in your mouth. They offer them in a half or full order. The full order filled us up. We did not have anymore room for any other food.

Have had the opportunity to stop in on a couple of different occasions. Pizza is very good, the garlic dough nuggets as an appetizers are out of this world. Nice family atmosphere with my kids. Will continue to go back.

Ordered two chicken wraps with loaded sides, one fries and one tots, for dinner tonight. First our order had the incorrect wrap and both sides were plain. Then we called and they quickly offered to replace our meal and send it free delivery. It arrived about 25 minutes later, good timing, however it was made incorrect again. When I’m spending $ 28 for two chicken wraps I would really hope it would be easy to remember cheese and bacon on the sides but two back to back orders were incorrect.

Sweet chili sauce chicken wings are amazing; best around! Deep dish pizza has great flavor. We ordered sausage, Canadian bacon, onion and mushroom. Will order it again! Very cold beer too!

Makings of a real winner. Decent food, real apparent commitment to community. Neighborhood bar type of environment. At end of day, comes down to service. Not good. Bad strategy with the ‘Bambi’ bartenders. Take a page out of PJ’s book, hire bartenders with experience/​expertise. Who cares what they look like if they suck at there job. Not a college bar, smarten up.

Like another reviewer, we left after a few minutes of standing and waiting for someone to acknowledge our party of four.

My wife and I went there last Friday night. The place was packed but we were able to quickly get some seats at the bar. I was impressed with the beer selection as I was sorta of expecting the typical Bud, Miller, Coors but there were quite a few craft beer choices like Dogfish Head and Goose Island. We ordered a few appetizers and had a few beers. The chicken fingers were good, the smothered tater tots were better. We also tried the garlic parmesan and funnel cake nuggets, which were both excellent.
Overall we’d definitely go back.

After standing 15 mins, we finally flagged down somwone to ask about seating. She started looking around, mumbling somwthing and said «between 20 and 40 mins, depending on who is sitting at bar». Will try another time, but so far not impressed.

Another great meal! I brought my 4 kids with and they enjoyed the food and were kept busy with the chalk board. There was a previous review commenting on the servers attire not being family friendly. I disagree. The staff wore t shirts and the bartenders had on tank tops. Either wore jeans or shorts. I found it casual and appropriate.

At first glance, I was a little skeptical about this place. The place was packed though, and when we got a seat it was about 30 minutes until we got our food. I was a little disappointed… but then I tasted the pizza. Absolutely worth the wait. The thin crust was spectacular. The owner came over and apologized about the wait, and he seemed like a great guy. Two thumbs up overall from me!

Unilocal considers 3 stars to be «A-​OK» and 2 stars to be «Meh. I’ve experienced better.» Truth be told, with those definitions, this was a 2-​star experience, but I’m throwing in a bonus since Hobnobbers is so new and I think they’re still getting their feet on the ground.
I’ll break my review into four parts: food, service, environment, promise.
The food was so-​so. My wife and I each had a burger; one child had the kid’s pizza, and another had the chicken fingers. We ordered our burgers medium and they came pretty close to well-​done. Having tater tots on the menu is a nice addition and those are what you’d expect. The fries were decent considering they’re obviously frozen fries… frustrating, though, because it’s not hard to make some killer homemade fries. That would’ve been a nice touch. All in all, the food was mediocre — nothing I couldn’t get anywhere else and more expensive than better food at PJ’s or MVP’s just a couple miles up the road. Which is why I was hoping we’d score big on other factors.
Service was fair. Could’ve been better. Could’ve been worse. A little more attentiveness could’ve helped. Not having to ask for silverware. Being served the kids’ dessert rather than having to ask for it after the bill came… But all in all, this was average. Not much more to say here.
Environment is solid. I really dug the environment at Mugzzie’s that was in this spot previously. Loads of history all over the place. This is definitely different, but it’s open, comfortable, has a nice buzz throughout. Not grungy or pretentious… but just about right. All in all, they’ve done well for the environment. However, it is big and it’s pretty spread out. Which means if there aren’t a bunch of people in here, the environment is going to feel pretty empty and pretty flat. I hope they can keep the place full so the vibe stays strong.
The promise they offer is what I was perhaps most disappointed in (the food followed closely behind). Hobnobber’s claims it’s a «family friendly restaurant and sports bar». Okay, it’s a sports bar, so any claim of «family friendly» needs to be taken lightly. I get that. But their Web site boasts a respectable kids menu, so we figured let’s give it a shot. It’s the little things that separate 2– and 3-​star joints from the 4– and 5-​s when you’re going to claim «family friendly». Cups with lids for small kids. The attire your servers are wearing. Give the kids a menu to color on (though the little twisty toys were a hit with our kids).
I’m not naïve to realize this is still a bar and I’m not looking for Chuck-E-Cheese’s. But there’s nothing particularly family friendly about Hobnobbers that I’m not going to encounter at any other bar in town.
Bottom line, I really wanted to love Hobnobbers. I’m a firm believer that this community could use some more solid dining establishments that are locally-​owned and aren’t a franchise. Yet if you’re going to be local, you’ve got to serve better then I can get out of a franchise. Applebee’s, Ruby Tuesday… all serve frozen food. Please do us a favor and make stuff from scratch. Let the service set you apart that makes me feel like I can’t wait to get back. And if you’re going to make a claim, make it matter.
I’ll probably swing in again in a few months when things are (hopefully) a bit more established. But I’ve got to be honest in saying that nothing blew me away here that I couldn’t get equal or better elsewhere in town.

Super impressed with the new Hobnobbers. The bar is a nice, large horseshoe shape, large HD tv’s absolutely everywhere with a great, rustic décor. It is a bar but still family-​friendly.
And the food is really, really good.
We stopped in last weekend & then went back for takeout this week. Quick recap on what we’ve had so far:
*Pizza*: We tried the thin crust with a few toppings. Crust is crispy, great sauce (not too spicy, not too sweet) and tons of cheese. Our new go-​to local pizza spot
*Tater tots*: FTW. These are amazing with the cheese sauce & bacon (C’mon. if we’re ordering tots, we’re not exactly counting calories anyway, right?)
*Beer nuggets*: We tried the garlic, which were good. Heard cinnamon & funnel cake are ridiculous
*Italian beef*: Super impressed. Lots of thick slices of mozzarella melted on top, soft, toasted roll, and juicy beef. Definitely my new favorite place to get Italian beefs
*Chicken wrap*: Good. (Daughter noted there almost was too much chicken – which is unheard of most places – but it almost made it a little dry. Still would order again)
There’s a large selection of craft & traditional beer in bottles and on tap. Would love to see a mixed drink menu at some point.
Bottom line: Great place to watch sports & munch on tasty bar bites.

Great food! Great atmosphere! Great service! Great! Great! Great! Very happy with everything about this place!
