Casual mom & pop shop cooking up good eats for hungry peeps since 1975 in Kelowna!
Had an amazing experience at Little Hobo. Their soup flights are a delicious way to try a few different things. Homemade fries and gravy were hot and fresh. They even gave me a gift as I’m expecting a baby in a couple weeks - the kindness and generosity did not go unnoticed. Can’t wait to come back - thanks again!!
I took my child (1yrs old) for lunch and had the best experience we’ve had at a restaurant yet. We got a free bowl of soup (immediately at the table) for my daughter which came with a ramekin of ice to cool it down. This kept her busy as we waited for our amazing meals. They were not only very welcoming and accommodating to us but so were the other patrons! To add to this amazing meal and experience they sent us home with a free frozen soup! Exquisite! Highly recommend.
Incredible! Just Incredible! Service was lovely and welcoming! Food out of this world and feels warm in your belly on a cold day! Atmosphere feels the like the near extinct cafe's of yesterday. While you may have to raise your voice to be heard across the tables in this small place, its more than worth it to enjoy a days lunch! Especially good for a lunch date like me and wife did! Try their soup!
Great service! The staff is very welcoming and helpful! The chillie burger is tasty, I especially love the fries that they make themselves.
Wonderful Little place. The good was delicious and plentiful. The place is crowded and a bit noisy but clearly popular and for good reasons. They also sell their soup frozen to reheat at home
Been here a few times while staying in town and this place gets it right every time. The food is great and the staff are super nice. On our most recent trip, we got there slightly before noon and beat the lunch time rush. People love their sandwiches!! We ordered both a BLT and ALTC and they were both delicious. Soups never disappoint either. We got a side of the Mexican chicken and it was a nicely balanced flavourful soup. We also ordered a side Quinoa salad. I dont think you can go wrong here.
I knew we were in for some fun the minute we entered this bustling establishment! Thank goodness there was a lineup cause it bought me time to finally decide on the $10 cheeseburger special - best deal in town!! It was delish and came with tons of fries and fixings! The creamy mushroom soup was wonderfully earthy and oh so creamy. Overall atmosphere is jovial, friendly, didn’t see a single person looking grumpy and the lady at the register (owner?) couldn’t have been nicer! Glad I stumbled upon Little Hobo Soup & Sandwich Shop! A happy memory to add to my list as a visitor from Ontario.
From the moment you walk in…this place is nothing but a pleasurable experience. The smell omg!!! The food is so fantastic. I had the best soup I have ever had! Sooooo flavourful. The staff is amazing. Really really friendly and attentive. Will not disappoint.
I havent been to the actual brick n mortar location in Kelowna but I bought some of their Doukhobor Borscht, frozen, from tbones in Vernon and it was SOOOOOOOO soooo good. I just picked up some Hobo Soup from there again today. Cant wait to try it. Its a lil pricey as far as frozen soup goes, but you cant beat the quality and taste (as far as I can tell!). Cant wait to visit the shop in person! Thanks Little Hobo!
Every time I come here, the staff is super friendly and makes you feel right at home. The food is definitely made with love and it shows.
Awesome little place. Homemade soups, great variety. Msrvelous sandwiches. Service is amazing. People very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend.
Would definatly go again!
Phenomenal service, so friendly. Big helpings and terrific food.
Soup here is so good you can taste that its made with love. Service was like eating at your best friends house and their mom made lunch. Iykyk.
Just wow.
Kelownas (not so hidden) GEM! The staff are absolutely lovely and greet you by name and are always so friendly and welcoming. They are always open to making accommodations for myself and my friends (vegan) and have some of the best soups in the city. Today for lunch i had the creamy tomato, and it was THE BEST TOMATO SOUP ive ever had. No exaggeration. I love this place top to bottom and am grateful to have such incredible business owners in our city! Thank you Little Hobo Team!! Vegetarian options: Vegan cheese and mayo!
Super yummy tuna melt w tomato and pickles! And very tasty homemade soup. Excellent for fall winter day
Steve took my message right away from messenger this morning and really went above ad beyond for me!!! Im so incredibly grateful . Im 4 hours away and needed a care kit of nourishment delivered locally. He offered to get that out for me. The food was very well appreciated and delicious!!! Thank you so much!!! I will make a point of visiting Kelowna to come say hello and enjoy some of your delicious food!!!
Little Hobo is an amazing gem! The food is absolutely delicious and if you can even imagine the service is even better. We saw the staff providing warm food/gloves to someone who clearly needed it. We love it here!
This place is such a gem! Amazing food and service.
This is a hidden gem. They have very short hours so mainly serve the lunch crowd. The food is great, the service is fast and the staff are friendly. Be prepared for a rush from 11:30-1:00 pm The biscuits are
SO happy to have heard of this restaurant! The food is delicious and the staff go above and beyond. The owner is AMAZING and so kind. Best service Ive ever had. Very homey and cozy atmosphere and such delicious comfort food. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and will be back SO much more!
Nobody does customer service like little hobo. Walk in the door and you feel like a regular. Every single staff member has a smile on their face and floor staff made a point of refilling drinks, checking in on how the food was and preemptively bringing a takeout box. The food? ALMOST better than moms. Everything feels home cooked and made with love. My favourite little spot in Kelowna for a quick lunch.
The food here is amazing and the people who work here are so kind and sweet. You should absolutely eat here.
Ordered some take out. Thank you for awesome sandwiches! We really enjoyed it Food
I wanted to come here for so long before I finally got the chance. Crystal at the counter was so sweet, the food so fantastic and so he at atmosphere was so amazing. If I worked downtown I would be here every day.
We went to there a few days ago, It was pretty busy. I was impressed your welcoming vibe and the foods. Our foods came out hot, we tried it after got home. It was my first try to Hobo soup, I was like WOW...! and the big portion of Sandwiches. Love that. I will try burger next time.
Stopped by here on my drive between Banff and Vancouver and they have the friendliest people there and just some good no nonsense sandwiches. Recommend this to anyone around the Kelowna area
Best soup in Kelowna.
Must visit. Lovely owners, generous portions and fresh homemade burgers and sandwiches. French onion soup was a 10/10 Food
What a gem of a spot! Little Hobo never misses. The food is always fresh and flavourful. The staff is always smiling, friendly and courteous. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. Perfect spot for a lunch break! Dietary restrictions: I have an anaphylactic peanut and treenut allergy and have always felt my allergy has been handled with care and attention from the staff
This is the best soup and sandwich spot in town!! It was so good that we went back again the following day. The first day I had the brisket sandwich and mulligatawny, the second day I had the traditional turkey sandwich with stuffing, and cranberries with a loaded baked potato soup. Everything was amazing from the quality and quantity of the meat, the right amount of sauce, and perfectly toasted bread. The soups are some of the best I have ever consumed and Im a self proclaimed soup connoisseur. The soup was also nice and hot which can be a big let down at many soup establishments. Krystal is a lovely host and does a fantastic job explaining the daily specials and menu options. She also will remember your name which is a nice touch. All of the other staff are very friendly and attentive. You can also see right into the kitchen which is always a plus for me. Do not sleep on this place, for this style of food it is BCs best!!!
Ive had my eye on this restaurant for years, but living part-time in Kelowna meant I never got around to visiting until now. The consistently high ratings piqued my curiosity, and I must say, the place truly delivered! The food is exactly what youd hope for: hearty, homemade dishes that are delicious and remind you of your grandparents. Portions are generous, ensuring you leave feeling well-fed. Moreover, the service here is not just friendly but genuinely welcoming, making the dining experience all the more enjoyable. This spot is a must-visit for anyone in town!
Simple but good food, delcious homemade soup, feel like home atmosphere!
El Clasico for years and years and years around here you cant beat it sometimes
The best decision I made while visiting Kelowna was going to Little Hobo.
If I could give it 6 stars I would. Their soups and sandwiches are to die for. Will DEFINITELY come back again.... And again.
Love this place , food is home made and delicious
Im so glad I found this place. Homemade style . And the soups are so tasty and fresh
A fantastic restaurant! Amazing service! Delicious food! We were more than satisfied with our experience!
By far the best sandwich shop in canada period. Up there with the best sandwich shops in North America. Its that good and the service from the ladies is amazing.
Another great discovery. The soups are excellent. Thank you for the lovely welcome and exceptional service.
Best home made food
Great place, people who work there are really nice
Can not say enough about this wonderful gem. Food is fantastic every visit, Crystal and staff are like family, atmosphere feels like home.
Crystal is a god among saints. She is the kindest, sweetest person I have ever met. She goes out of her way to make everybody feel special and even entertains the children who enter the store. Above all though, she runs a tight a ship with the best pierogies I have ever had in my life. Their cheesesteak puts the entire city of Philadelphia to shame. Unreal food and service.
The staff just goes out of there way and the food is 10/10
Excellent service, busy but efficient, had all 4 of my kids with me and they were kind and thoughtful, bringing ice cubes for the hot soup, asking which veggies the kids wanted on their sandwiches. Kids each got a free cup of soup too! Dog friendly patio, food was excellent.
Soup flights are a great way to try a few of their tasty soups at once. New moms get soup for free if youve got your baby in the stroller with you !
Friendly staff and speedy service even when busy!
This little soup shop is by far one of the best places to go in Kelowna! The staff is unbelievably friendly and sweet. The food is amazing and you get a good amount for what you pay. The shop itself is super cute and cozy 10/10 would recommend! :))
Such a great variety for frozen meals and soups to take home. It was a hard decision! Have yet to try my purchase however judging by the delicious sandwich I got to go (classic Reuben) I have no doubt they will taste amazing. The atmosphere was lovely and welcoming, the staff were so friendly. First time visitor, certainly won t be my last!
Great food, reasonable prices, friendly and polite service! What more do you want?
Food is amazing here! and the employees are so wonderful
Busy little shop, fantastic burger and service
Vegetarian options: Heerlijk eten ! Food
Such an awesome place. One of the best lunches in town. Always delicious food, my grandma and I love the Doukhobor borscht!!! The most friendly welcoming staff and the owners are the kindest people. Delicious meals with amazing prices! Food : 5/5 |
Wonderful place to get delicious soup and Sandwiches. The steak sandwich is my favourite. The staff is friendly and kind.
Amazing friendly staff and delicious food. Iced coffee was ok. Look forward to going back :)
My partner and I absolutely love little Hobo!! Crystal is always so sweet and makes us feel so welcome. The Doukhobor borscht reminds me of my grandmas recipe and feels like home
Amazing customer service, best beef brisket sandwich! The soup was delicious as well.
This was our first time here. Shortly after we entered, the cashier greeted us. She was friendly and helpful toward me, my wife, and our kids throughout our interaction. She told us soup is free for kids, and she even cautioned us against certain soups for them, knowing they may be too spicy. We waited about 5-8 minutes for them to finish our order. The lady who gave it to us was friendly too. My sandwich was a grilled roast beef with cheddar and onions. I give it about a 4, since the meat was somewhat dry. Their fries, however, were a 5. They were freshly cut and fried fries with the right amount of salt for me. My wife felt they needed more, though. My wife gives her cold turkey and cheddar a 4, since she felt it needed more flavor such as an aioli. My kids enjoyed their grilled cheese sandwiches. My daughter even enjoyed her soup, which included cream, mushrooms, potatoes, and dill. The atmosphere was decent, since it was a small venue and it was congested, which made it difficult to find seats and stay cool. There was nothing remarkable about their decor, but we took our food to go and it was packed with people, so we couldn t see much. Overall, we give this place a 4.5 and we would eat here again, because the food was good, their staff was friendly, and their service was reasonably quick.
Best value for money restaurant The only downside is that it closes too early so its hard to eat on time.
LOVE THIS PLACE, definitely coming back!
First timer here! The club sandwich and roasted beef sandwich was amazing! Loved the hobo soup as well, very refreshing after the big meal. The staff were very kind and I loved the jokes they made! Will definitely visit again!
Best lunch in town, every time. Just real good food, and great service.
This is SO much more than a locally owned business that provides fresh, hand made, never processed food... it is a gathering place where all are welcome and no One ever leaves hungry. And, they have buy and go! The soups are to DIE for. Get out and support this local gem often <3
Soup reminiscent of grandma s - good old fashioned home cooking!
Ive been to many places and this has got to be the best place in kelowna for absolutely amazing service from people whom you can tell love the business and their customers and just as fabulous food obviously made with love and stealing your taste buds hearts a must try if you havent, you will not be disappointed Today I had the ridic burger, Ive tried ever burger in this town but this was hands down the best burger Ive had and coming in at 17$ for a fully loaded burger with all the fixings you could ever want on a burger including a fried egg Its very obvious the owners are living their passion and purpose Blessings to them their staff and their business Thanks so much for the Best Burger in town at a great price with extremely amazing service. Like the terminator says. Ill be back
We come here multiple times when we visit Kelowna. Delicious sandwiches and the staff always go out of their way to learn your name so you feel like family. Highly recommend!
Everything is fresh, homemade, delicious, a must for anyone looking for something out of the ordinary.
Delicious food, with extraordinary services even in the peak time. Definitely deserve to be on the top of the list if you are visiting Kelowna.
Probably the best dinning experience since covid times. They were really nice and provided amazing hospitality. I would come back.
Atmosphere was awesome, very friendly, lunch was very good! Good home style cooking.
Really good turkey club. Brought me water while I waited for takeout. 5/5 recommend.
Splash BC Water Parks, Kangaroo Creek Farm and the zipline are great, but the first reason I come back to Kelowna next time is the little hobo
the best burger i ve ever had, amazing soup and the loveliest staff you ll ever encounter. truly wonderful all around ! thank you for making my week better ! you guys are the best. will def be coming back:)
Amazingly fresh food and did I say delicious?
Food was so good. Bread soft for sandwiches. Burgers cooked perfectly and fries were also very good. Highly recommend visiting.
Amazing food, amazing service, highly recommended
Good food. Fair price. I like the atmosphere at Little Hobo. Really friendly staff
Simply perfect! Great place amazing food
Yes to it all; the warm welcome, the fast moving line, the homey feel of sitting at a table with others if you can t find your own AND the food. The soup was amazing and the fact that they serve a soup flight had me questioning why this isn t a thing but I know it s because you need some solid soups to choose from. Also great price-point all around :)
Experienced exceptional service at this cozy spot, delivering warmth and hospitality. The owners charming demeanor added to the pleasant ambiance, showcasing a diverse range of mouthwatering dishes at affordable prices. Notably impressed by the burger, comprised of freshly cooked ingredients and presenting an explosion of flavors. Eagerly looking forward to our next visit, specifically for the borsch.
Great soup
Truly excellent. Awesome sandwich, awesome service, awesome price. Dont change a thing. An Okanagan Gem we can be proud of. Thank you Food
Amazing food with amazing staff. Every single person we dealt with made us feel like family. It only elevates the amazing soup and sandwiches. Everything we ordered was amazing. I recommend it all.
Busy busy
Delicious!
Amazing little restaurant!! Came here with family for lunch everyone had soup and all of them were very good! We ordered a soup with cream in it but were unaware (allergy) and once the soup came the server brought a new one without cream over for us and left the original for us without allergies. large portions and affordable! Very kind service from all the staff! Highly recommend this place and the soup!
5 starts across the board! Service was delightful, such a friendly group and the food, omg the food! Portions were great and its just well done comfort food. We got the Avocado, tomato, lettuce and cheddar sandwich on sourdough with broccoli cheddar soup and the chilli with a cheddar biscuit. Everything was exceptional! Highly recommended!
Phenomenal service and wonderful restaurant. The owner takes pride making their soups daily and offering family feels service. The kindness and love is felt through the quality of the final product. Highly recommend!
Excellent service and food with affordable price. Soup and sandwich are amazing.
Little Hobo Soup & Sandwich Shop is an absolute gem in Kelowna! The cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food make it a must-visit spot for anyone in the area. The variety of soups and sandwiches on the menu cater to every taste bud, and the quality of ingredients is top-notch. Whether youre looking for a quick lunch or a leisurely meal, Little Hobo delivers exceptional service and flavors that will keep you coming back for more. I highly recommend trying their signature soups and sandwiches - you wont be disappointed! A true hidden treasure in Kelowna that deserves all the praise. 5 stars!
Such a great lunch at little Hobo. So many gluten free options and the staff are all so lovely. Got a special treat for being a mom to be. Can t say enough good things about Litle Hobo!
Great sandwiches, friendly and very good service. The place was jumpin Highly recommended when youre in lovely Kelowna. Food
So glad to have found this gem in Kelowna. Walked in the door, and was immediately greeted with the aroma of a comforting home-cooked meal. We met the owner Crystal, who was very welcoming and lovely. Overall great food and great atmosphere. Will definitely revisit.
If I could give it a bonus star, I would. The interior is cozy (mom and pop shop vibe). The staff was super friendly... Probably the most friendly overall because everyone working was engaging, smiling, and cheerful. Food was simple but delicious. Even the customers were having a great time. I would definitely go back to visit the next time I am in town.
I have never seen food come out of the kitchen, but didn t look delicious, and every time I ordered my food was there in no time and it was perfect. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend this place for everyone to try at least once and you ll be hooked.
Warm soup and sandwich... The staff are really friendly...and the food tastes great... Club sandwich, cauliflower soup...biscuits...price is reasonable too.
Food was amazing! Staff are very nice!
Crystal and her team are phenomenal people with equally delicious food. Fantastic, friendly service, its no wonder theyre one of downtowns busiest lunch spots. Come here more than once and the staff will eventually learn your name, kindness and warmth radiates from this Leon Avenue hotspot. Try a few different incredible soups with a Soup Flight! 5 stars isnt enough! Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly, Crystal may even have some stickers for your little people!
What awesomeness! Great food. My first visit but I already want to go back!
Great place to eat. Staff super friendly and helpful
Such amazing food! Best spot in town and worth the wait
Super friendly staff, delicious homemade food
All of them sooooo kind and friendly Soup is sooooo delicious the best bruch restaurant in Kelowna You must go there if you visit kelowna I will visit there if i visit again Kelowna
The food is OMG. My first time going to this place and the burgers we had were to die for. Highly recommend this place. Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free options
Fantastic catering. The brisket is something out of this world. Would absolutely recommend.
Best catering menu and wonderful people ever!!!
Best place in town. Run by the best people in the world
The Little Hobo catered my sister s wedding and they were absolutely PHENOMENAL! The food was delicious and the staff went above and beyond! They started at 6am worked tirelessly and put up with all of our needs! Thank you so much for making the day extremely special!
An absolute gem of a place run by the most kind people. Their hot meals each day are incredible, very made with love, comfort food, excellent portion size for reasonable price (perogy day and mac and cheese day are my favs). They also catered my friends wedding and did such an amazing job. Every single thing they made was 10/10. Kelowna is so lucky!
I cant thank the Little Hobo enough for catering me and my husbands wedding. They made the most incredible buffet for us. My family who came from the U.S. kept saying it was the best buffet they have ever seen and had. Days later, Im still getting compliments about how good the food was at the wedding... but those compliments belong to the Little Hobo! Thank you so, so much for everything!
If I could give this place 10 stars I would! The friendliest service in all of Kelowna, despite how busy they are (and they get slammed really quickly), they dont falter in how kindly they treat each customer. The creamy mushroom & thyme soup was delicious and homely, one of the best soups Ive had. The breakfast sandwich was fresh and yummy too. The food came promptly and with a smile. An absolute gem in Kelowna. Thank you for a lovely visit!
Awesome lunch ..first time eating here and the raves are real!!! Highly recommend.
People were super friendly!!!!!!!!!!!! Kid-friendliness: Kids were given stickers and laughter filled the restaurant. Food : 3/5 |
The absolute best soup on earth! I ve been coming to the little hobo since 2012 and I ve never been disappointed! It was always a favourite lunch spot while I was in college around the corner and it s still a favourite to this day! I now buy their frozen soups so I can enjoy them any day at home when I have a craving!
The soup and sandwich shop of my dreams. Met with friendly smiles, served up a sandwich that seems simple but one I could never replicate at my home, and poutine fries as a side. I d recommend this to anyone and everyone looking for a tasty, casual lunch in Kelowna!
I had the delicious Reuben sandwich being there for the first time! Service is very good & friendly! Will bring friends there or tell them about it! Will definitely return!
I cannot recommend Little Hobo enough. Crystal the owner provides the best customer service I ve ever received, seemingly knowing every repeat customer. They have generous portions of delicious food at fair prices. A must try!
Such a wonderful little restaurant! Extremely lovely staff, super clean kitchen, very kid-friendly, and the tastiest comfort food. The ingredients taste very fresh, sandwiches and burgers are made to perfection, and the soups have incredible depth of flavour. The soup flights are amazing and come with a little biscuit. I can t say enough about how wonderful this place is. Absolutely will be back again!
Didnt know the place existed cruising through town. Ordering at the till we were kindly welcomed. The food looked great and it was. Everything home made and delicious. My kids loved it too.
Outstanding staff and fabulous food ....this place rocks it all!
Such a gem!
Absolutely LOVED our soup and sandwiches. Fresh food, such great staff & very welcoming! We will be back (often).
I LOVE this restaurant, and the people who run it. Very friendly, and consistently tasty food!
What a wonderful place with a staff that are like the family you didn t know you had! My cousin took me to lunch here as she knew I would love it with our Polish heritage. We had the pierogies and they re some of the best ones I ve ever had. It came with 3 massive pierogies, sausage, sour cream, and this rich sauce that comes on them. Had a great chat with Crystal and can t wait to return. They also offer frozen dishes and soups, which I had to get few. They were very busy and I understand why. Highly recommend!
The best!
Local gem that is only open during limited hours on Monday through Friday (10 to 2). Very friendly staff who come to your table often to check on you. Had the Bacon Swiss Burger, which I had to eat open faced as the beef patty was very thick (definitely dont skimp on the meat). The bacon retained its crisp and wasnt greasy. Also had the Hobo Soup, which was very hearty with thick chunks of vegetables and some ground beef. The Cheesy Broccoli & Cauliflower Soup was equally as flavourful, thick consistency and full of ingredients. You order and pay at the counter, and they bring out the food to you. Theyre great at remembering who orders what, to bring patrons the correct order where you choose to sit (as the staff dont provide you with table numbers). They dont have many smaller, private tables, but offer more communal-style seating. Homey atmosphere. Would come back and recommend!
Amazing little family run restaurant here for brunch. Hearty home style soups for the cooler weather and great homemade burger patties. Staff who work here are super caring and nice. Offered me a spot to sit right when I entered the restaurant, as she had seen me with my crutches. Will definitely come back
This place is absolutely amazing!! From the delicious food, to the wonderful, caring staff, to the prices - 10 out of 10! This is a little piece of gold! Highly recommend!! Parking: No problem parking. We paid $1.00 on the street, so cheap.
The best sandwich in Kelowna!!
Loved the soup sampler
Fabulous food and the service is always excellent!
A classic Kelowna lunch spot. Super casual. Tasty wholesome food.
The staff were super sweet and made room for us with our stroller. Food was delicious! I even got a soup on the house for being a new mom
We had an amazing experience, the food came out at lightning speed and all the servers were so caring and empathetical. Highly recommend if youre driving through Kelowna. We had nothing but good things to say about this spot, but our only sore spot was their poutine is not made with cheese curds. We are fussy because we are from back east, it was still amazing. Spectacular 10/10.
In love with the new soup flights! Would ve never tried the mulligatawny otherwise and it may be one of my new favourite soups! Went back the very next day to buy more and got another soup flight while I was there! Amazing flavours and I love the variety of getting to try 3 different soups!
Amazing! The food is so good, the staff is even better!
Absolutely delish lunch items! Very tasty and healthy soups. They even offer soup flights where you can chose 3 different soups to try with a beautiful biscuit. They have a variety of sandwiches and even burgers and fries. So theres always something to try, and the service is top notch. The owner is very caring and hard-working. I highly recommend supporting this local gem for any of your lunch related desires! Go little Hobo!
Soup is amazing! Great meeting you Crystal!
you know when they say food made with l o v e: I believe this place is exactly what they mean! owners are fabulous, very genuine and kind: & the food... well, it is so delicious! supporting local makes my heart and stomach happy! will be back
Loved their soups.
When you walk in this place, you know this has been a local institution for a long time. The staff are so nice to regulars and first timers alike. I told the lady at the counter Ive never been here before. She made some great recommendations for me. My sandwich and french onion soup was delicious.
Love this place and I love their food. Simple and amazing. The staff go out of their way to be super kind and helpful and pleasant. I highly recommend stopping in if you havent already.
Amazing little hole in the wall. Service was super, food was amazing. Definitely coming back.
The food is amazing, the staff worked hard and are very nice. My favorite restaurant so far in BC! It s sure worth for a stop.
Amazing little lunch place. They have the best soup and sandwiches in town. The service is amazing. Crystal always recognizes everyone. It has that small town personal feel to it.
I can t believe there s anything less than 5 stars on this place. Amazing food, amazing people. Definition of a true community based business.
This is such a wonderful little restaurant with quality food that would have come out of your grandparents kitchen! Everything I have eaten here has always been delicious! It is a bit dated inside but that adds to its character.
Seriously damn good food here!! I really enjoy the Plain Jane Burger!! Wheelchair accessibility: Sidewalk accessible. Owners keep it very tidy. As all should downtown. I walk by this location daily. Their storefront always shovelled expertly!
Great food and very kind people working at Little Hobo! Theyre busy and have limited hours but its worth the wait. Great with dietary restrictions as well.
Best lunch ever!!
Well I thought the Hobo Borscht soup was good then I tried the Hobo everything soup it was delicious then today I sampled the Split pea and Ham and only wish I had ordered a large, OMG it was fantastic along with a toasted Cheese scone what a wonderfully delicious lunch AGAIN!
One of the best homemade soups I have ever eaten. Really friendly people
Googled a good place for a clubhouse between Kelowna wine touring and this place came up. The service was amazing for take out. Really fast and friendly. The food was so good. The pirogies were humongous and delicious and the clubhouse was also stellar. The fries were sneak worthy as well.
This is what I would call an old school eatery. The staff is nice. Food is incredible. Place is small but really cozy. Eat here. I m even begging you to eat here. I m not hired to endorse this. I m just a fan
Little Hobo Soup holds a special place in my heart, and I am thrilled to say that even after over a decade, its quality remains unchanged. From my very first visit to its previous location years ago, I have been seriously impressed by the incredible flavours and heartwarming experience that this establishment offers. The mastermind behind Little Hobo Soup deserves applause for her remarkable concept and the pride she takes in her food! It is evident in every spoonful of soup and every bite of her dishes. The dedication to crafting each recipe with care is truly commendable. I honestly feel like I m at home with every meal! The reviews speak for themselves. 10 out of 10, highly recommend! Little Hobo Soup consistently delivers exceptional quality and authenticity, and I am so grateful for the woman who has brought this remarkable concept to life. Thank you!
This place is legit. The staff are so friendly. The food was top shelf. Very homely and local vibe. Would recommend.
Everything about this place was great! The whole staff seems to help each other and their customers out as a team. Food was phenomenal! Highly recommend Food
This place is always hopping, and for good reason. Great soup, great staff who care about each other and their customers. Eat in or take out. Always great gluten-free options available as well. One of the best places in town to grab lunch. Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian options Dietary restrictions: Great gluten-free options in soups and sandwiches
Amazing home-cooked food at reasonable prices. Lovely staff! A Kelowna gem.
I love this place. The food isnt gourmet - its home cooking, but fresh, reasonably priced and seems quite healthy. My pops and I love to meet here for lunch! The service is miles above anything else in Kelowna - they set the bar here!!!
Agree with the reviewer who said it s the soup and sandwich shop we all need in our lives. Friendly, efficient staff, delicious soups and sandwiches in an old school, comfortable space. Great value too! Fortunately they also sell frozen soups to take home, which we will buy next time we re there.
this is the best place to eat in kelowna! i grew up here and moved to montreal years ago, but every time i come back to visit i make sure i eat here at least twice (if not more). despite all the great food options in kelowna, theres something special about the hobo that puts it above the rest. thanks to all the staff for the wonderful experiences!
Some of the best service I have ever had. Great food at a fair price.
This is the BEST place for lunch in Kelowna. Bonus the service is actually good and the people rock. Hard to find in this city of egos and earwax.
I live in Vernon when I go to Kelowna I always hit this place up
Wow wow wow. Go there order food eat enjoy!!! Food
Tuesdays perogies are to die for!!!
Great great selection. Fantastic sandwiches and soups.
Incredible service, food came out super fast and was amazing. Seems like every second person that comes in is a regular they know by name & everyone treats you like you re an old friend. You have to come here.
Great soups and salads, very reasonable prices. Fast to serve, not a place to linger but rather eat and get going again.
Wow yummy sandwiches! Was too delicious forgot to take pictures lol. Great staff, every single one of them is so friendly and welcoming! Seem like the popular items run out by the end of the day so go early to get what you want. Even if its out, whatever you replace it with, will be delicious anyways!
Such a score with my fussy guys! My 3 years old ate his Beef barley soup so well (and hes hard to please) My husband loves a good sandwich, but is often left disappointed. NOT HERE! He couldnt stop saying how good his sandwich was. Next time, well share our chili fries. The potions are generous, and everything was delicious. The staff are above an beyond in service, Like nothing weve ever experienced! Kid-friendliness: Each staff member was so wonderful interacting with my tired toddler
Hands down, absolute BEST lunch spot in town! They are only open during the weekdays for lunch and it is packed! It may be busy but the service is amazing. The staff are all so kind, our kids love coming here. The food is *chefs kiss*! Soups are always a good choice, make sure you try a biscuit! Cant say enough good things! We are so blessed to have such a great establishment in the downtown core. Kid-friendliness: They always make the kids feel special!
Honestly, from top to bottom- everything here is phenomenal. The owners here are delightful and hardworking, and greet you with perfect customer service every time. The Reuben here is one of the best I ve had in my life- I highly recommend grabbing it. I d give it a 10 if I could!
Excellent food and service with from young moms with babies to seniors and whole families and a table of young executives. Dietary restrictions: They had run out of gluten free bread so they went out to buy some so they could make me a sandwich!! Delicious by the way!
You can not get better unless you went to grandmas You will never regret this choice Food
I dont know if I would say that the food is amazing here, I personally find it a bit overrated. But the service is fantastic and I did really enjoy the burger patties. Overall, I would recommend simply for the novality of the place because the atmosphere is quite interesting.
My favourite place to eat in Kelowna! Crystal is a great host ~ thank you for the amazing food and amazing service every single time :))) Come by on Tuesdays for the Mennonite special!
Great family owned lunch spot in Kelowna. Their soups are amazing!

Absolutely amazing!! You have to try the lasagna soup. Crystal is a great person and a great chef
Unreal food, one of the best spots in town.
Best value and great people at this place!
Little Hobos is an absolute must visit in Kelowna. We visited firstly last year and the staff are honestly the nicest people you will ever meet. They gave us recommendations for things to do that afternoon. The food is splendid. Real home cooked good food. This year we returned to the same amazing food and staff. Upon departure we got given branded stickers !!
This place is perfect.
Very disorganized, people standing around, one till open with 15 people in one line up needs help !! Get organized!! Take advantage of people wanting to buy your food and have 2 order lines or some traffic control didn t stay for lunch no one needs experience confusion and frustration on their lunch break like the gong show here!
Love it
Best minestrone soup I ve ever had! Great atmosphere and the friendliest staff!
Quite disappointed the last time I was there. It was very busy and crowded and they were all rushing to fill orders which affected the quality. I will not be returning.
Wonderful Local Business...you gotta eat here!
Amazing food and great service!! The Shepards pie was soooo good.
Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating for gluten free Food
The soups were delicious, and the service and friendliness were even better! Highly recommended

Wow! This place is a great lunch in d/t Kelowna. Its busy so either go early or prepare for a bit of a line up... Although they roll the food out very quickly.
