I've been here several times as I travel to Northern MN frequently to visit family.
Hobo Haus is the Newfolden Restaurant/Bar hangout and for the local populace, and fulfills its role quite splendidly.
I went here with my Grandma on a Mother's Day excursion and found the food and service to be wonderful. Â There is truly a friends a family feel to this restaurant, which is predictable given that most people here are friends and family.
For dinner, we had the prime rib special, which was cooked and served in a delectable yet unpretentious manner. Â You know when you are eating an awesome piece of meat, and you almost zone out as your primal instincts zero you in on feeding? Â Time slows down, your environment fades away, and all that matters is devouring the sustenance in front of you? Â The Hobo Haus prime rib certainly brought me into that state, and I was thrilled with the experience.
Price wise, they are a bit higher than I would have thought. Â However, given that they have a virtual monopoly on food in the area, and all the money stays in the local economy, I felt the price of $17.99 was reasonable.
If by random circumstance you read yelp and find yourself hungry in northern MN, check out Hobo Haus for a unique farm country delight.
