The Hobbit Grille is taking orders and the two guys who run the place are willing to do anything to avoid turning a customer’s request down. Tom Schillig and Paul “Head Hobbit” Mandell bought the restaurant that was once Uncle G’s Deli just south of Bonita Beach Road on Old 41 in early April. “I always wanted a sub shop and the name hobbit has always been on my mind for it,” said Schillig who named the restaurant based on another shop he used to visit on trips to see his sister at her university.
