Mike was hungry for fried chicken. Why would you ever fry chicken at home (such a mess) when there is a place like Hobo's.
Mike had his usual 3 piece chicken dinner. He always orders 3 big chicken breasts. It is the most chicken for the same price. He gets potatoes and macaroni salad. He always brings some chicken home as left overs.
I don't have the same longing for fried chicken as most people, so I try other things on Hobo's menu each time we go there.
Tonight I tried their hot wings. I thought...they are great at chicken, and hot wings is just more chicken...right? Well, I was surprised. You can get them breaded, but I don't like breading on hot wings, so I ordered them "naked" and "sauced." They were about $11 for a dozen, so that's cheaper than places like BWW, and the wings are bigger here. But when they arrived I could tell they had been tossed with very little sauce. They almost looked dry. I asked for more sauce to be brought. The chicken was OK. The drummies (the ones that look like little chicken legs) were fine, but the other pieces (the flat) is actually my favorite, but they were definitely under cooked. They skin was not crispy and it just felt "flabby."
I've tried a lot of things here. I like their shrimp dinner. I think their fried fish is fine, but it doesn't have much flavor. The shrimp wrap is too wet and falls apart. The buffalo chicken salad is good. Their burgers are good.
So, I will keep making my way through their menu.
