Kelowna locals already know that the Little Hobo is the place to go for lunch in town, but now the world is finding out about this little gem.

The soup and sandwich shop has been named to best place to eat in all of BC by TripAdvisor, beating out nearly 13,000 restaurants province wide. The Little Hobo opened its doors in 1975 and was bought by husband and wife duo Crystal Dougan and Stephen MacDonald in 2011.

Using locally sourced ingredients with the philosophy of being simple, clean and delicious the little shop is usually lined up out the door with customers.

The couple consider themselves home cooks and were previously social workers but wanted to pursue their dreams, which have since come true. The new found publicity has kept the couple hopping as line ups are even longer than they were before.
