   Bobarinos was great! They were busy and understaffed like most restaurants these days, so the service was a tad slow, but Alyssa (our server) was clearly doing her best running around like crazy and apologized for delays. The pizza was delicious, ambience great downtown GR, and very fair price. Juels Hudson is also awesome BTW.

   It took 30min to get our drinks and place our order. We did not see our food for an hour and a half. Otherwise the food was great.

   Food was good! Waitress was excellent. The place was nearly empty at 5 pm before a Griffins Friday night game. I was surprised at that. Learned from the waitress that the BOB was closing at the end of the year. Sad to hear.

   Just the average run of the mill bar food. I was excited to eat the wood fire pizzas but was left feeling unsatisfied.. It reminded me or a pizza you'd grab from the local gas station. I decided to give it another try and came back for a second visit. Tried the chipotle chicken lettuce wraps. The meat, onions, peppers came out in a bowl of what looked like soup. I was a bit confused at first but went with it.. The flavors were ok but I had to add salt and pepper to give it a bit more as it was lacking something.. My son had a burger and he commented that is was good even though they prepared it incorrectly. Dessert we had the lave cake and it was decent. Over all I wouldn't recommend this place. It was very MEH. The plus side is the location and why we decided to give it a try but after 2 visits we won't be coming back.

   Great food, great service from hosts to servers. So glad to have a reservation close to Van Andel before seeing a Trevor Noah. They easily accommodated our extra guest.

   Wonderful service. Took 5 college boys to dinner. Everyone was able to find something delicious. Even with drinks the price was reasonable for 8 people. Server (wish I remembered her name!!) was fantastic!! Walkable from our hotel.

    Pre hockey game dinner. Service was efficient although part of the order for one person was incorrect. Decor was fun as it was Halloween weekend. Staff friendly. Overall great experience. Will go back.

    Opening weekend of Art Prize so it was a bit crazy inside the Bob… really busy but our server and their team were on point with attentiveness and smiles! Couldn’t recommend them more, especially these days, where customer service seems to be lacking at a lot of places.

    The food has really gone downhill. I couldn’t even eat my salad, the chicken was fatty, the sauce tasted like ketchup. My kids burgers were dry and plain. They didn’t have kids menus printed out. So they just rattled off a few of the items available. It was so expensive for kids meals.

    I'm very disappointed. We were a party of 8 for a birthday and Bobarinos was closed and I'm still trying to figure out why you showed that there were seats available when The BOB is out of business, they are selling the place. Shame on you for not keeping your app up to date and making sure the restaurants are even open for business. I will not use your app again, as the person that made the reservation, I was humiliated infront of my Husband and friends. Disappointed is not a strong enough word to explain my feelings. Customer service is definitely not top on your list.

    Take this off opentable. If the restaurant is not open the reservation should not be allowed for me to make.

    Went for dinner before a LaughFest event. The place was jam packed but we had a reso. Not sure why Bobarino's is not well prepared for business before shows at the VanAndel but they seemed to be running very slow. Food is just okay but decent enough.

    We all ordered a burger and side and left feeling hungry. Not sure why. But we had been there a few years ago and I remembered it being really good. Service good but overall menu / food options it was just ok.

    We were there before an event at the Van Andel arena. The restaurant was full! Our server was really stretched, so he didn’t come to the table as often as he should have, but he tried! The food was mediocre. The Burgers were dry and sandwich, was not prepared as asked.

    Service was great, food was above average. The noise level was elevated due to a concert being held next door but normally it's not very loud at all. Overall a great place to go for dinner

    The service was ok, my husbands burger was good but my veggie Stromboli was just OK. We got sat right next to the doors going in and out of the kitchen which was incredibly annoying and loud. The server was fine, but a little at the end. We waited for a long time for her to come give us the check.

    My veggie daughters had some choice from the menu, they shared mac and cheese and flatbread, both of which they enjoyed. My husband thought his burger was OK, a little bland. Impressed with the waitress, friendly and attentive, knowledgeable about the good beer selection.

    Only problem we had was a 6:30 reservation and at 7:30 we asked to speak to a manger, because we still hadn’t got any food . Of course no manager Ever came to our table but our food came out shortly after complaining. we were at bobarinos. The waitress was very nice , but we were very unhappy with our wait for food
