If you are paying by card... the server brings their phone out for you to swipe and sign on... and you have to give your tip while they are standing there...
Pros: Vegan options

Owner is a Vegan and the lunch was scrumptious! - Edit
Really this place is so charming and just a delight to come to. It's my third time here and the menu changes a bit BUT everything we get it really fresh and delicious. They have meat items too but so many selections for vegans and gluten free as well! The quesadillas were HUGE and so flavorful. Our favorite sandwich was the rehobeth girlfriend, and we orders a vegan Mac n "cheese" it was so creamy and rich WOW! Come to Hobos for sure it WILL NOT disappoint!

Outrageously Delicious Food Tailored to Dietary Needs - Edit
We eat vegan food with no added oil but our children (adults) eat a more typical American diet. We chose Hobos seeking a dinner we'd all love. It was awesome! There were plenty of vegan & vegetarian choices on the menu. When we asked our server about a no-oil preparation, she assured us it would be no problem, & the chef came to our table to consult our preferences & to offer a number of suggestions. We left happy & filled with delicious food!
Read morePros: lots of vegan & vegetarian options. great food. a

Delicious But Expensive - Edit
Delicious... Vegan mac and chz (which ive never liked any place else), tempah blt (messy but .... oh yeah), and egg plant neopolatin with cous cous (best of all). Food is so favorable and satisfying. However, not cheap.

Friendly, Funky place with Vegan options - Edit
Of the places I've been on the peninsula (only Salisbury, MD, Ocean City, MD, Bethany Beach, DE and Rehoboth Beach, DE), Rehoboth was my favorite area, as it has the beach town staples (beach, boardwalk, thrasher's fries) but also some funky, artsy and queer-friendly parts. Hobos Restaurant exemplifies the character of Rehoboth, with some artsy touches (weird mannequin art), friendly, easy-going staff, some unique cocktails and an anything-goes menu.
Read moreThe omnivorous menu contains a number of vegan and veganizable items, more than are obvious at first glance (e.g., the philly "cheese" steak) and I suspect one of the owners may be vegan or vegetarian. All but one of the desserts were vegan by default.
I enjoyed my cocktails and my taste of my sister's Vegan Mac (pasta & cheezy sauce w/ vegetables on the side), but I did not enjoy my meal; however, I am going to chalk that up as an anomaly because it was a special for VegFest (it was day-old tamales containing nothing but corn and spices, left over from their vegan buffet the night before) and because my sister has been there a number of times and enjoyed other vegan items. So I'm giving it a 4 because if I were nearby, I'd happily go again and get something off the regular menu.
The owner had an adorable new baby puppy which she was carrying around (& everyone was fawning over) - it's that kind of relaxed place.

Just don't get your hopes up... - Edit
I really want to love Hobos, but they're making it hard. I appreciate having many vegan choices, Daiya cheese, and Vegannaise. What I don't appreciate is the grossly inflated prices and inconsistent food quality. We've been to Hobos 4 times now, and 2 of those 4 times the food was either bland or else not as stated on the menu. This most recent time, we ordered the veggie burger with all the fancy fixins' and it was under-seasoned--down right bland, really. The fries were good. My partner ordered her usual favorite, the vegan chicken hoagie. Besides not even being on a hoagie roll, there was a tiny amount of seitan and grilled onions, way too much vegannaise, and a whole HEAP of lettuce and tomatoes. It looked like a salad with a vegannaise-soaked burger bun underneath. With two iced teas and the tip, we paid almost $50 for this lunch!!!!! We'll probably give them another chance, but if you go, keep in mind that you have a 50% chance of being very disappointed.

Dissapointing - Edit
My husband and I went for dinner to Hobos and were excited about the vegan/vegetarian/organic menu.A lovely waitress helped explaining the menu choices and we decided to go for the Chilies Rellenos and the Porcini Tamale...and save some room for dessert instead of going for an appetizer.After a while the chef/owner? came to out table,with the menu in her hand,putting it on the table saying,that she forgot to take the Chilies Rellenos off the menu,and they were out of them since yesterday,and she would give us a minute to pick something else.
Read moreWe picked the Buddha bowl and ordered it after she came back a long while later.
When the food arrived,we looked at the plates and the Tamale looked dark brown,sprinkled with dark brown mushrooms,not even the slightest hint of decoration.It tasted very bland and oily and my teeth were crunching on the sand in it.My husband tried his Buddha bowl and declared it okay.We switched our plates and I was disappointed about the unspectacular flavor,the heavy oiliness and the avocado that looked more brown then green in the bowl.We were both quite hungry and did not even finish what we had on our plates.The waitress did not ask us again,when we hurriedly asked for the check,if everything was okay,or if we changed our minds about the dessert,which we decided not to dare to try after being so disappointed about the food.Compared to an excellent and reasonably priced dinner at Saketumi(Japanese restaurant in the area)the food was way over prized.
We will not go back, as this restaurant lacks creative,flavorful,lovingly created food.

Wow, could you make it anymore obvious that you either work at or own that Japanese restaurant??

AMAZING vegan cuisine!!! - Edit
My vegan bandmates and I (Blue Hippopotamus) had dinner here and the food was absolutely amazing! The chef is vegan and she is So talented. The atmosphere was really wonderful, elegant and fun. They had very nice live music the night we were there. They even make their own organic vodka which was very good in the fresh cucumber martinis we tried. The asparagus that was with my 15 layer vegetable tart (incredible!) had been picked the day before, talk about fresh and delicious! We can't wait to go back to this place! I recommend checking out their website too. The chef is going to have a blog on there soon and she really has a gift. I'm hoping to learn her trick for making the best collard greens I've ever tasted :) The chef told me she hopes their place becomes more popular the the veg beach crowd so that one day she can make it 100% vegan.

Yummy!!! - Edit
You need to travel to Rehoboth Beach, DE, just for dinner at HOBOS! Wow what a find. You can bring you carnivore friends, family etc... they won't be disappointed either. Gretchen the Executive Chef made us feel at home and was a wonderful host. The Eggplant Pot Pie was decadent, along with the Gnocchi, and Stuffed Portabello... the dinner menu changes every night so what you see on the website may or may not be 100%. We came from Baltimore for a long weekend... and could see making a day trip (2.5 hours each way)to eat at Hobos. Calling all VEGAN Foodies... you oasis awaits.
Read morePros: All menu items were delicious, Atmosphere was great, Fit for Foodies
Cons: 2.5 hours from Baltimore, Huge selecton, small stomach

hobo-heaven - Edit
Rehoboth's newest gem Hobo's is not to be missed. My dinner last week was fabulous. The veggie tart is out of this world! For my future Hobo-eaters I have a few tips and tricks to share. Although the restaurant is veg friendly, it helps if you give them a heads up via a quick phone call/reservation so they can prepare accordingly. Aside from being veg-friendly, they also cater to gluten allergies and any other dietary need-- just don't ask the chef to compromise her recipies for the heck of it--trust me on that one. Speaking of the chef, Gretchen doubles as executive chef as well as owner, quite the task that keeps her busy in the back. However she still makes time to come out and speak to "special" tables to address concerns, and if not her--you can bet whoever does come to your table knowns what is up.
Read moreIn short, fabulous restaurant, charming decor, wonderful food- just call ahead and let them know you're coming!
Pros: fresh, local ingredients, organic, environmentally concious
