    We ordered the special that was very expensive compared to everything else on the menu and we were not notified until our bill came. If the specials are 3x the amount of everything on the menu, then the severer should notify the guests.

    Bob’s has always been one of our favorite restaurants for celebrating special occasions. We love sitting in the bar with all the golf ambience. Nikki was our server and she was excellent. We’ll be back!

    It was our first visit to Bob's Steak & Chop House and if we are in the area, we will probably go back again. We ordered the crab cake, shrimp and Caesar salad for starters - there is only one crab cake per order so not enough for party of 6, so we ordered another one. Bread and butter was fine except that the butter is way too salty as is the jar of pickles which are on the table - too heavy on the salt. The portion of the Caesar salad could have been bigger. Nice selection of wines and cocktails. Also it's nice that they have valet parking which is validated ...

    We had another amazing experience at Bob’s. We celebrated my husband’s 60th birthday. They printed out a special menu for him, which was a sweet surprise. Sam, our server was great and very attentive, as was the entire rest of the staff. The food was amazing. We had a really great Caesar salad and an apple goat cheese salad. The poblano corn soup was very yummy. We also had the filet minion which had a fantastic lightly salty flavor and cooked perfectly medium. And for dessert we had a vanilla ice cream and candle on top. The whole experience was perfect from start to finish. Perfect job Bob’s!

    I have been going to Bob's Steak for over 20 years now. I have enjoyed their food and service. It has been excellent from the first time I discovered Bob's Steak in San Francisco on a business trip. I have loved this steak house and have taken all my friends to Bob's. I have raved about their carrot stick that is served with your meal to all my friend and once they try it themselves, they understand why I love Bob's Steak so much. Not to mention their onion rings are great as well. I was their celebrating my girlfriends birthday. We were disappointed that her steak was served medium rare, when we requested medium for her. The carrot was ice cold when the steaks were served. I'm not sure why they were so cold. The waiter never cleared the crumbs from our table after bread was served. Although, the servers were attentive with drinks and clearing the dishes. I would expect them to also clear the table of any food particles. I know I could have said something about the steak, carrot and the crumbs. But unless it is horrendously bad I will just chaulk it up to a bad night for them. I will come back to Bob's Steak even though I have to drive from Orange County for them I still love this restaurant.
