  I seriously do not get why the people in this town like this place. Seriously!!!! Maybe they like the billiards here and the jukebox. But the food and customer service sucks balls!!!
  
  We had a burger and a sandwich, and it took forever to get to us. Waiting is tolerable if the food is great, but it wasn't. It was horrible. I would rather go to a McDonalds. The waiter is pathetic as well. He should be glad I'm nice because I still convinced my boyfriend to give him a 15% trip, instead of a 5% one. Horrible!!!

  I have frequented Holidaze for about a year.  They make amazing nachos and have a nice beer selection.  They will make your burger to order (med rare!), and the fried stuff is good.  They even have oysters on the half shell.  It's a pretty versatile place for Hobbs and is a good part of town.  I certainly recommend it, go there!

  I would give this a one star on food alone, but our server was nice.  We stopped here based on other Yelp reviews, but I have to wonder about them.  The food was awful, the decor is one of a lackluster 50's diner, and we were surrounded by a group of imbibed cackling women that were incredibly loud.  Food was greasy and had no flavor.  I'd suggest you look elsewhere when stopping in Hobbs.

  Okay, so I'm rating Holidaze on the scale which Hobbs is based... if you're from there or have lived there for more than 6 months, then you understand why I say this.
  
  Service can be mixed here. Because we were semi regulars, we always got decent service, but at times they can be super slow.
  
  Cocktails are usually served strong. Most of their beer selections are on tap with only a few offered in a bottle. I was stoked to learn that they had Fat Tire.
  
  Their prices are somewhat reasonable.
  
  The jukebox seems to have the same music it did when I went to high school with only a few additions every now and then.
  
  The change machine is usually out of order, so just sweet talk your waitress (usually a waitress, not waiter) for change.
  
  The hot water in the women's restroom (and so my husband said in the men's restroom too) really does mean HOT... like if-you're-buzzed-and-forget-to-give-it-some-cold-­water-you'll-burn-your-hand hot.
  
  I like the low lighting here.
  
  The food is usually pretty good, but I tended to stick to just a handful of dishes:  1) super salad with chicken teriyaki with ranch dressing, 2) patty melt with no bacon & fries, or 3) chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and cream gravy, mac and cheese, and ranch dressing on my salad.
  
  They use the "homemade style" Ranch dressing, by the way.
  
  This is about the only good place in Hobbs to play pool, but some nights we didn't always get a pool table because some people are pool whores.
  
  If you keep a tab, beware that they may ask to hold a credit card until you pay your ticket. I think they do this mainly to keep schmucks from walking out without paying, of course.
  
  I guess my favorite thing about this restaurant is that it is locally owned and operated. I love to support my local businesses wherever I go.
