We love this place. Â Yes it could use a renovation, but the wings and burgers are supreme, and so are the nachos. Â The one reviewer that had a bad burger must've been an anomaly, we love the burgers here, always fresh and juicy.
Haven't found better wings yet. Â You can get hot or mild, we love the hot but with tons of honey, and they are very accommodating.
Place is cozy and quiet, I'm not sure what the other reviewers mean by regulars in the dining room, although I've been going sporadically for 20 years I don't feel like a regular and no one makes me ever feel out of place. Â Staff has always been friendly.
Def worth a visit.
A classic case of never judge a book by its cover. Â The Hobnobbin Pub is an old, rustic looking building located just outside of the heart of Poughkeepsie, on Vassar Road. Â The inside of this establishment is very home style and warm and welcoming. Â We were quickly seated and treated to very fast and friendly service. Â The dining room is however extremely quiet. Some music would have broken the awkward silence. Â Obviously this is by no means a problem of any sort and the food would soon become music to my mouth!
   We each ordered a burger (The Hobnobbin platter) and a small order of wings.  We had the "Hotter" sauce and requested a side of the "Hottest" sauce.  The wings are perfectly sized and even more perfectly cooked.  The real star of the night was the homemade sauces.  Our Hotter sauce was delicious.  It was unlike any traditional wing sauce I've ever had, there were tons of peppers and other flavors perfectly combined in this sauce. The heat was good as well, the Hottest sauce left a burn on my tongue for moments after I had finished eating, just how we like it.  My burger was also incredible.  A large patty of meat, with bacon lettuce tomato on a fresh bun.  Very thick and very juicy.  It was pretty clear why both the wings and burgers, are award winning at Hobnobbin.  The chili was not bad either, in fact it was very good!
 Hey if you guys are in the Poughkeepsie area, or even if you're not, Hobnobbin is worth the trip.  The "Hottest" sauce was one of the best sauces I have ever tasted!
Definetly go for the the platter with an appetizer of wings if its your first time!
THE HOBNOBBIN' PLATTER
Jumbo burger topped with cheese and bacon, served with lettuce and tomato, steak fries, onion rings and side of chili.... YUM!

I've never felt so uncomfortable in a restaurant. Â This is the type of place that if unless you're a regular, you are treated like an outsider. Â I mean you walk in and all conversations stop and heads turn in your direction. No lie, this happened. Â I'm not uptight by any means and I have no problem with dives, but this is a dump! The over priced food was bland and skimpy. Â Worst wings I've ever had and the burger was a disappointment. Â Maybe some dust from the window sill would have added some flavor. Â If I think too long about the time and money wasted in this place, it makes me want to punch a wall. Â I'm never going to this place again.
Review Source:Another place claiming to have "The Best Burger in Town" and "award-winning wings"....but ultimately a disappointment. I recently went here for the first time after years of hearing about how great the burgers were. In reality, they were nothing special at all.
The burgers were dry, flavorless chunks of meat, and no different than ones you reluctantly eat at a summertime backyard BBQ. I ordered one of the "Little Burgers" and it was in an almost meatball shape, with one slice of American cheese on a small, dried out, seemingly store-bought bun. It was overcooked and well-done, when I asked for it medium well. There is a difference, you know. A suggestion would be to at least flatten the chunk of meat into a PATTIE, that's usually how burgers are made, it's not rocket science. The wings were also lackluster...small, dry, way too crispy and overcooked to the point where the bones were practically crumbling. The sauces were bland. Â
If the food wasn't bad enough, the restaurant itself is far from appealing. Seriously, this place looks like it should be on "Restaurant Impossible"-it could use a makeover. The dining area is pretty dingy, with peeling wallpaper, paint-chipped ceiling, poor lighting, and dirty firewood piled on the floor next to the tables. Add in a dirty, cobweb-adorned restroom and some shady characters hanging out in the bar (the Vanilla Ice and Eminem wannabes....please stop, you look ridiculous), and it was just a crummy experience all-around. The service was ok but not enough to save Hobnobbin' Â from one-star status.
