Shows online that it open at 11:00 a.m. today... I came by at 12:15 pm, doors were locked but the lights and TV was on. Tried calling and no one picked up...A little frustrating because I live 30 minutes away. I literally only left the house to come here and try this place. I've been watching it for a while through ads that were mailed to my home. I don't think I'll give it another shot as I don't want to drive 30 minutes to be ghosted again.

Reviews seemed mix but idk what the hell people have to complain about here. This place is legit! Cool atmosphere with a sports bars connected next door. Food was excellent and the sauces were all really good. Excellent bbq, and if you’re just wanting some fries and a couple beers this is the spot for you. Definitely get the ranch and fry sauce.
Since they recently are under this new owner who’s says he’s 30 year experienced managing restaurants, I can see a big change! Mr Thomas, thanks for being amazing with my pet and definitely, you and your workers make this place very friendly for everyone. I do like to spend time at the bar and ask for my bbq lasagna! Is it Guy Fieri recipe really?

First time trying this place, not a time of day given to me as the first customer in the door I understood that there was a large party order but other people came in, had ordered and gotten their food, and I still have not gotten a menu yet. three phone orders later still no interaction as I'm sitting here at the bar I understand a large order has come in but you need to take care and prioritize customers that are physically there and communicate with them. I will not be returning to this establishment, was looking very forward to try it as my first time, but I was never offered a menu so I couldn't try the food. :(Although the restaurant was clean the lack of service was horrible!

Excited to try them because of seeing on TV. Should have read the reviews first. HoBo's is just as bad as everyone says. Took some of our meal home to try to salvage, but threw it away instead.

Food is not like the Tv show depicts. The workers/cook told us the brisket meat is pre slices and reheated as is. Not brisket that is a whole piece and cut to order like the show depicts. False advertisementQuality of food was poor than what we expectedService was all over the place as the only guy working was doing everythingOwner Sal or Al something talked to us and was bit awkward as he demanded a good review from usSadly enough we will not be returning to this establishmentPhoto shows the dry meat

Big enjoyed a lot of BBQ and drinks! We enjoyed everything and highly recommend a visit.
Ordered takeout. Place was literally deserted but still took longer than estimated. I was the only one there and didn't see any other customers. They seemed upset that I was there. Meats were dry, sides were bland, portions were small. The sauce was decent. The eating area was clean and neat at least. Won't be going back ever. Very disappointed in the food considering how pricy it was. Get twice as much for cheaper at Chili's and it's better.
Let's talk BBQ.. This bbq is it.. I've been looking and looking around Temecula for a good bbq spot and this is it can't say it enoughHobo's bbq corner off margarita and rancho California posted the menu for food and drinks yall come by and check it out the service was amazing plus the atmosphere is great also is veteran family owned small business

I had lunch here today for the second time following the ownership change. The first time was about a month ago and things were pretty good. I was optimistic that this might be a decent bbq spot going forward. The chef mentioned adding new high quality sides in the near future. Today, the food was absolutely disgusting. The ribs and brisket seemed like they were microwaved. The ribs were tiny, dry and hard. While the waitress was nice, she did not seem overly concerned that I did not really touch the food before she cleared the plate. I was the only person dining here on a Friday afternoon. Based upon the quality of this meal, I think this place will be out of business within 6 months. It's sad as I was hoping for a decent bbq spot close to home.

The food was great. Very Tasty Ribs. The wings were good. Kevin, our server, was very helpful and had a very pleasant attitude. The food was ready in about 5 mins. I can't complain about that. I would eat here again next time I'm working in the area.

Go HERE!Stuffed jalapenos, and meat platter sampler is all you need! The platter had chicken, burnt ends (my favorite), ribs brisket... and 3 sides. The "loaded " fries were good too, but we didn't need them... so much food
Unfortunately we were disappointed. Food was obviously reheated..... and even though there was only one other couple there the service was lacking. Bummed because it was featured on DDD on food network. But that was 2016.
