Hob Nob

Both stars were earned entirely by Kimberly. She was extremely polite when I brought my concerns to her attention. That being said this isn't the first time I've been disappointed in the service and the food. I will not be returning which I'm sure won't hurt them as this is a long established spot in Tacomas 6th Avenue district but its worth noting that its not meeting the standard it had earned in the past. Very sad.

I am convinced that the quality of any restaurant is evident most clearly in the attitude of the staff. If you are waited on by people who seem happy to be doing what they are doing then your own experience will be just that much better. Which...is why I've always enjoyed eating at the Hob Nob... It's not unique in it's menu or extraordinary in it's decor, setting or venue... It's a diner with a small bar, well used booths, some counter seating and a view of wright park... Nothing particularly of note, but...BUT... Everytime I've been there I've been served by people who seem to enjoy being there. Which says to me that the owners are doing something right... And if they care enough to keep their employees happy then it stands to reason that they care about the people that come there. I've never been "wowed" by anything there...but I don't expect that...I go there to be comfortable, enjoy food I'm certain will be prepared well and served in a timely manner. The Hob Nob isn't someplace I'd go out of my way to take people to or travel to eat at but I find myself there often because I work nearby and it's the best option in the area for a meal I won't be disappointed with.

Eggs Benedict poached eggs were hard boiled and the extra extra crisp bacon I ordered was almost raw. They did wind up fixing it, but it kinda ruined the moment as my wife waited for me to eat.
