"Been here a few times now, it's always one of my favorite stops. I have some new recent dietary restrictions dealing mostly with kidney issues and the hobbit Cafe has LOTS of options for me for a low potassium diet. Best part, there were so many puppy dogs on the patio! Dog friendly restaurants are the best."
"Fun cafe with LOTR memorabilia and a big blowup dragon on the roof. Fun outdoor seating atmosphere (indoor seating as well). Loved my falafel wrap (sweet potato fries were a bit undercooked and no crispness). I was the DD so no drinking for me but boy do they have tons of alcohol options!"
"Quirky atmosphere which is good for some, not all. Hubby thought the atmosphere, tables, etc., was too tight. Great food! The Great Goblins Platter is a must, including the Gandalf sandwich. Service/waitress was so-so."
"Good and healthy food with several vegetarian and vegan options! Definitely took me by surprise as a sort of hole in the wall restaurant fully themed from the Lord of the Rings. This place is definitely a must-try if you are a fan of LOTR or just want something unique to eat at. The service could have been better in terms of bringing out extra plates for appetizers and having creamer ready with the coffee. It’s definitely worth coming back to and I’m excited to try more options next time."
