We came here a couple hours before a big concert at the VanAndel arena. We had six of us and we were told it would be about a 45 minute wait. The whole place was packed and a lot of people were on a wait but things seemed to move quickly. The wait was much shorter than anticipated and we had an excellent waiter. We got our food orders in right away and everything came out very quickly. The food was decent although a little overpriced for what you get. The service was excellent and the entire staff was very nice.

It’s been awhile since my last visit & I was pretty underwhelmed with the experience. There was about a 45min wait, however the hostess got us seated within a few minutes so that was great! I tried one of the non alcoholic beverages (cherry limeade) holy tartness, I couldn’t take more than a couple sips. They were also out of most of the appetizer options, so we settled on chips & salsa, & an order of wings. They also simplified the menu options by a lot, definitely more bar food instead of dinner options. Our apps were good though, & our sever did a great job of checking on us & refilling our sodas for the 1.30hr wait we had for our dinner to come out. By this point the place was packed, the bathrooms were super run down which was odd because this place used to be maintained well. Missing door handles, cracked flooring... There were light bulbs out all over the main spaces of the building & cobwebs everywhere. I was also put off by the staff not having to wear an sort of uniform or name tag? I had no clue who worked here & who was a customer, super odd & confusing when someone needs assistance with something. Alessandria (my server) did help the less enjoyable experience however, her energy was great & she was really working her butt off, so great job girl! Not sure if I’ll be back or not.

Great place with a super chill atmosphere. The patio is beautiful and our waitress Alexandra was awesome!

Pizza was fantastic! Service excellent! Keep up the awesome work, Bobarinos.

Pretty underwhelming. Food is WAY overpriced for what it is. Server was nice but didn’t come around a lot. Paid $8 for a salad that looked worse than one I can get at McDonald’s. PSA: DO NOT GET THE MAC AND CHEESE. They give you this massive pile of bland, mushy pasta and it is not good. The only reason this gets 2 stars is because my husband’s food was more edible. Would not recommend. Your money is much better spent literally anywhere else but here.

Great pizza to be had here. Plenty of space, we were seated right away at dinner time. The live music in the restaurant is a great feature, we had a good time watching the show while we ate. Serves a good selection of craft beers from downstairs, and its a 10 second walk to the comedy club upstairs, both of which we took advantage of. Great venue!

I went with my mother in law and step son before a show, our waiter was Cam. It took him 10 mins to even greet us. There was maybe 5 tables in the restaurant tops. Then it took 45 minutes for us to get a salad, which should of come first, a pizza and some fish. Not once did he come back to check our drinks. We had to ask our food runner for clean plates, drink refills and condiments. The food was alright. Not worth the price or the hassle. There are so many better restaurants around, I wont be wasting my time here again.

Good place to hang out and watch the game. Probably needs more beer options

It was nice place with good service. I ordered the wings and was expecting to get wings like you do at Buffalo wild wings. I was so wrong, they were just like off the chicken. Very yummy.

My fiancé and I went to Bobarinos for dinner tonight and sat at the bar. Liz, our bartender, was awesome. She was very sweet and attentive. She recommended the salted caramel cookie dessert, which was amazing! I highly recommend Bobarinos at the Bob!

Our waiter, Mitch, was one of the nicest waiters I’ve ever had!! The food was amazing, and the service was relatively fast!! Would come here again if I could! Keep it up!! :)

Very accommodating to our table request. Quick service with good food. Highly recommend.

This place wasn’t enjoyable at all. The only positive was our waiter. The wontons that come with the buffalo chicken dip tasted like straight grease. The dip was cold with an odd texture. The chicken breast with both me and my wife’s salad was cold, tough and very chewy. I’m leaving a zero star rating. I recommend this place to no one I’m never eating here again. I brought a group of ten. Never again.

Horrible wait times - currently waiting for our food 1.5 hours after we ordered it. We’ll see how much longer it takes to get our appetizers/food.... Don’t come here if you want quick and efficient service.

Great atmosphere and service! Pizza was second to none

They took the 9 cheese pizza away and that broke my heart into 100 pieces.Anyways, I’ve been there a few times and never had any problems. Went and had dinner, got the classic Mac and cheese and the buffalo chicken rolls.The rolls were amazing the Mac and cheese was like microwaved Mac and cheese from the night before. We asked for more cheese sauce and that made it a lot better. Not worth $10. (We added smoked pork so it was $15.)Our server was amazing though! She was okay with me being needy with everything, So I tipped her over 20% still. (:

Great location and good food! Alena was an awesome server, super personable and great service.

Terrible with reservations. I called 2.5 weeks ahead of time for my friends birthday party of 16 people. It was a lot of phone tag. I spoke with someone who had to get info to get it approved, they said theyd call me back the next day for approval. I got a voicemail saying it wasd approved but they needed more info. I called and left voicemails and spoke with 3 different people, one who asked for my credit card info and said if less than half people show, I would be charged. I thought we were all set (because thats what I was told). So I called the DAY OF to make sure everything was ready and they said they tried to call me back and never heard from me.? So I told the lady I called back multiple times and spoke with 3 different people and even gave someone my credit card info. She said thats funny because we dont take credit card info and was extremely rude on the phone. She said on her end it says I never called back. So they were able to accommodate still, but said there would be a 20% automatic gratuity on everyones checks. I relayed this to the group, and there was no gratuity added to our bills as mentioned.The communication there is obviously very off. Someone now has my credit card number. And though they were able to get us in still. They were very rude about it. Would not recommend.

Really good kale salad. it was tasty!

Update: contacted the owner who had commented below... They never got back with me! The below comment was obviously to try to save face.Had wings and loaded fries there fries came out with hardly a light drizzle of flavorless sauce and a sparce sprinkle of bacon... For loaded it wasnt wasnt what I expected at all and to top it off one of my wings had feathers... Took me two times telling the server about it to get anything done ... They comped the wings but there is no way the kitchen didnt see it... And they still sent it out. Wont be back.

Good atmosphere, unnoticeable wait on food & seating, friendly engaging staff. Ask for Kiki when you get there!

I just come here once in awhile for their lunch buffet. The salads and side items (like chicken, meatballs, mac-n-cheese and vegetables) are really good, while their pizza is pretty average. Still a fun and cool place to eat lunch. Would recommend.

Terrible pizza, and this was on a Friday night. My bro in law said hed had better gas station pizza. That should tell you something

The food was really good, and the drinks were dope! Alena was super friendly and helpful! One of the best experiences Ive ever had!

Great place to meet up with friends after work

In a sea of craft beer places they have bud light. For that reason I give them 5 stars. Its probably a reason they dont want 5 stars for.

Great service by Allie. Fun evening.

Our server Kelsey, was awesome. She made an extremely busy night due to two concerts happening in the area possible for us to enjoy our dinner and still make it to the concert we were attending.

First time visiting this establishment. Service was beyond slow and food was served cold and not as described in the menu. When brought to the waitresses attention, she didnt know how it was supposed to be served. She choose to make a substitution that was not fitting. Cheese fries were cold french fries, a couple american cheese slices and what tasted like Hormel chili on top. Really not worth $8. Unbeknownst to us, She requested for the manager to come and speak with us. The manager did not identify himself or his position and approached with open hostility. He acknowledged that the servers choice of substitution was not appropriate. We will not return.

Food was good, drinks where great (get the strawberry pancake its seasonal, but do it if you can). our server Alena was great, she got everything out quick and was even a little entertaining, very cool!

Great food, fun & nice waiter!

Im writing this review but have to make it clear that our server Reuben was wonderful and he is no part of this two star review - we give him a 5! We sat on the patio and it was super nice out there, drinks were good. We ordered the appetizer with the wonton chips & buffalo chicken dip, there was no where near enough for even an appetizer. Way more wonton chips than the dip, by far. Next our order arrives, we both ordered a sandwich. Both sandwiches were overall small/thin for what youd expect at a restaurant and the amount of sweet potato fries we both got for paying the extra side upgrade was a joke. We both planned on mentioning this to our waiter but the fact that I went to eat my panini and there was a mold patch took precedence. Our waiter took it back and the manager came out and told us that they looked it over and it was a blue sprinkle. Honestly, Im not sure how a blue sprinkle makes it over a panini maker but having a six year old child, I know how sprinkles look when you melt them and it was not a sprinkle. I seriously melted a blue sprinkle today to see if it was a match, no. Sprinkles dont melt down flat at all and they are a chocolate colored inside. I didnt want to be confrontational so I didnt argue with her and just took the charge of the sandwich off and brought us chips and guac.. The guac was clearly frozen. It tasted like water, zero flavor and was freezing cold. Honestly, we were really looking forward to an evening out being that its rare for us.. and this place blew. A sandwich, two drinks, and paying extra for fries... $50 down the drain.

Had decent food. I wish they had more choices on the cocktail menu since they didnt have the ingredients for 2 of them. But overall a good place and I like the atmosphere. Servers are friendly too.

Aleia did a great job! Would definitely stop by again! Great service and atmosphere!

Great place. Aleia was our server and provided us great customer service. No problems. No wait. Will visit again.

Besides a quite small serving of cheese bread for the price, the meal here was wonderful. Ate before going to a show at 20 Monroe Live and will probably be doing it again. The meat-za pizza was very filling and tasty. Anyone who has time to kill and a stomach to fill before an event should definitely spend there time wisely and experience the food here.

Service was quick. Had drink order and back to us minutes after we ordered. The only issue i had was the table we had smelled like vomit and would come and go every five minutes

Great experience, service and food for our Divine Child Falcons cheer team and families!!! Thank you Adam Brown for your hospitality!

Convenient location to concerts at Van Andel and 20 Monroe Live. Appetizers good (spinach dip, buffalo dip). Pizza adequate. Server -Aleia pleasant and attentive.

Aleia was awesome! Thanks for a great dinner. Wood-fired pizza was so good.

Every time I come to this restaurant the food is AMAZING!!!! The atmosphere is also enjoyable, there are pool tables... which now cost I think around $5 an hour to rent but not bad and they also have shuffleboard. The only problem with this restaurant is the staff members are not friendly and seem like they are miserable. The hostesses were friendly but both the bartenders and servers I’ve had in the past are always in a bad mood! Plenty of people who need jobs, hoping they can replace some of the debby downers with smiling faces! There’s also a rooftop deck in the Spring/Summer, it’s beautiful!

DELICIOUS!! i totally recommend!! 10/10

Mitch was an outstandimg server. Never ate previously and he answer any queations i had with a smile and ended up bribing me with great customer service with the wildfire pizza delicious! I give him an A+ do not get rid of him!

Their pizza here is fantastic and the views are great! There has usually been a long wait for the food but the servers are so friendly

5 or 6 venues/restaurant in one building. I tried food in just two and I was satisfied both times.

This was the second time I was disappointed by Bobarino’s. Very slow service, 30 minutes before my party of two was even waited on. The food was cold and tasted average at best. Overpriced and overrated.

Alena was funny, knowledgeable, and very polite. She recommended the buffalo chicken dip and it was the bomb.

Great pizza, even better service. Mitch was excellent, Ill ask for him every time!

It is probably a good idea to update your hours online, considering for a Monday night it states you close at 12am. I drove from my hotel, paid 15 dollars to park in the closest public lot, walked up to a locked door at 1045pm. Upon calling your restaurant, it just continued to ring and go to a voicemail service. I wasted my time and money trying to eat at your restaurant because you dont reflect your hours correctly online. I was extremely disappointed to say the least.

Waited close to an hour for our food. Stromboli looks like it came out a box from the freezer. Panini sandwiches were cold and small. Made on white bread from the grocery store.

AMAZING service! Amanda was our waitress and she was so kind and helpful. My boyfriend and I are new to the area and she was great. Food was delicious and the decor is unique and fun. Great space up on the rooftop terrace. There are no doubts that we WILL be back!

Atmosphere was great, but pizza was so-so.

A fun relaxing place with good food with a great staff and our server Aleia was awesome!

Great place. Alena was a fantastic server!

This is always a fun place to get lunch dinner or a quick app. Bobs beer is good too.

Alena did a great job! Food was good

The hostess this past Wednesday night had to have been the most unprofessional and rudest individual I have ever experienced in the hospitality industry. Was truly appalled.

The food was good.... the service was kinda slow.

Nice space, great location

Food was delish, staff friendly and right on the ball. Getting reservations, impossible. Nobody answers the phone and the machine asks you to leave name and number and they will call you back, doesnt happen.

Very disappointed:( my husband and I ate here a couple years ago and it was one of the best meals both of us have ever had!! While visiting Art Prize today I highly recommended it to our group of 8...big mistake!!!! Rolled silverware, Dessert, and drink menu on table was splattered with food and disgusting! Service was slow which I can kinda understand but the quality of most of the food was terrible!! $7 for a few chips and salsa they didnt even taste good... hamburgers ordered medium well were charred and burnt, fries served over cooked and cold. Philly steak and cheese dry and overcooked. Mac n cheese so not impressed bland and no flavor. Waitress asked how everything was and I responded not so good and she said nothing and walked away...the only item we ordered that deserves recognition would b the pizza that one of our guests ordered thought was awesome:) so 7 out of 8 is not so great:(

We visited last night and the DJ on the second floor was great! My group were able to get a table near the shuffleboard table and our waitress was very accommodating. Alea delivered our (many!) beers with a smile and also made sure I was able to get a quesadilla before the kitchen closed. It was fabulous!

We eat at Bobarios often. Love all the food here. Pizza is my favorite. The peanut butter pie...wow!!!

Stopped in on cinco da mayo, service was outstanding, food was fresh and excellent. Love the experience of being able to sit outside while eating. Definitely would recommend this place.

They try way too hard to be exclusive. Its very young, and pretentious

Service is fantastic. Good, terrific. Ambiance, great. Give this place a try.

30 minutes after taking our order they told us they were out of the Pot Roast. 50 minutes later we were still waiting and waitress had decided we werent worth her time. Finally when she returned with Lasagna it had a hair ball in it. Their option was to give us some Mac and Cheese. They did comp the Mac and Cheese and took 50% off the bill. Awful way to end a really great day in Grand Rapids. We have come here before but this will be my last. With all the options around I wont bother with the BOB.

The service was slow and the food was not great either, it wasnt hot and I asked for the spicy mix to be omitted from my sandwich and it wasnt. Ate it after trying to remove it. I didnt ask for a replacement because it took about 45 minutes to get our meals. One of the other meals was not even edible and was sent back (they did take that off the bill). The server only came back to the table once the whole time. Never asked if I needed a refill on my drink. I never give reviews but after this visit I just had to voice my opinion. Very disappointed

Great spot to get a bite before an event at VanAndel. Allison was awesome and took great care of us!

Waited 45 minutes for a seat then waited another 1 hour and 45 minutes for a pizza. I was late to my concert. The food wasn’t worth the wait either.

This place is absolute GARBAGE!From the terrible service to TERRIBLE SERVICE to garbage food I can’t decide what’s worse? Every time we go to the bob we for some reason end up here Bc it’s the only place that serves food past 9:30 and is it EVER a mistake. Service is horrible and rude. They act like you’re inconveniencing their lives the moment you walk through the door. If I could leave a -16 review I would. This place repulses me.

Mitch was such a kind, great server!

Not impressed. I went here on a Saturday night and put in a reservation with the hostess for 8 people. We were told it was going to be about 30-40 minutes, which is understandable and actually reasonable on a busy Saturday night. So we waited for a while and got our text saying our table was ready. The hostess informs us they made a mistake and the table they were gong to give to us is actually a reserved table and we could get sat right now but we would be at two booths that are back to back. This was unfortunate, since we checked in with the hostess and waited at least 45 minutes to have a table that accompanied our group of eight and weren’t told until we got the text saying “tables ready.” That had left a bad taste in my mouth already about this place. Second, we put in a order for our food. It was taking a long time for our food to come out but I thought it was just busy so maybe it was normal. After about an hour goes by we start thinking this is taking way to long. The server comes up to us and apologizes for the food and informed us that our food ticket is backed up for an hour because of he computer system crashing. I don’t know why this wasn’t brought to our attention or mentioned before we waited an hour for our food. That had done it for me, and I didn’t want my food at that point. So we got our bills and left. First impression of this place and I will not be going back .

Ive been here twice and both times the food was great. The second time I went was right after I had hand surgery and the staff went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable.

They have a fantastic lunch buffet during the week. There are usually a few different salad options as well as a variety of excellent thin crust pizzas.

A logistics disaster for seating. We were told 20 mins for a table but waited over an hour. Hostess was rude and unable to navigate the difficulties.

Pizza buffet is good value. Otherwise other food is just ok.

Fabulous food ,service and peicing

Great place

Waiting still and it has been over an hour. Worst slow service ever. 1/2 hour after placing order we dont have that anymore seriously???? Empty tables everywhere and still no food

The blonde is a good mug club choice

Cool place, love the full size shuffle board!! Had the Crimson King Amber Ale; delicious! !

The worst customer service. You would think a bigger establishment would have some good experienced employees. Not at this time. Apparently the owner/management dont care anymore. Bottom line spend your money elsewhere unless your ok dealing with non fun experianced staff, overpriced crap food.

Amazing Pizza!!! Wish I had this restaurant in Grand Haven.

Great food and service! Thanks Alena

Service was decent, but management has issues...

Extremely disappointed! Rude staff even trying to make a reservation was a pain? Food took forever and then was served cold very unprofessional!

Nice bar

We got pizza and beer here. The pizza was good, but overpriced. The beer was from downstairs, but it wasnt particularly interesting.They have pool, but they charge $6 an hour.

Wait staff didnt bring silver ware after order. They couldnt make half of the drinks on the menu guess they had a problem ordering to fit there menu.

Food was cold...waited over an hour for our food. Drinks where never filled. Chicken on the chicken sandwich was so small. Im not sure where they get the chicken, but the need a refund.

A new level of Crap. Way over priced, small portions and the pizza dough is strait out of a box. So disappointed. Chips and salsa........salsa tasted like and ash tray and chips out of a bag in the closet, in the basement, in the back, where homeless people sleep... boooooo :*(

Food sucks. Overpriced and bland. Brick oven pepperoni pizza tatsed like a totinos frozen pizza. Turkey panni tasted like a plain turkey sandwhich. My fiancee and i and our 4 kids will not be back again.

Juliet and I decide to keep it simple tonight, with a single appetizer and mains. The Buffalo Chicken Rolls look promising, though I’m a little wary of deep fried foods these days. To my surprise, the app is like three giant egg rolls, split at an angle so the interior is exposed. Bright orange buffalo chicken meat has been topped with melty cheddar jack. The rolls sit on bleu cheese sauce and are sprinkled with scallion bits, but also some clever shards of celery. It’s got a little kick, but not too much. All of the components are well-balanced. The celery adds a crisp, clean punch and the eggroll is not too greasy or crunchy. This is probably one of the best appetizers I’ve ever had. Simply put: great.Excited now, we both decide to get a different burger and share halfsies. We ask our waitress—who has been very friendly and prompt, though not the most efficient server we’ve had—if the meat has been ground in-house? Unfortunately, no, but the Angus beef has been purchased from a reputable butcher. Juliet gets the Olive Burger and I opt for the Beer Burger. We both order them on pretzel buns with fries, and medium rare. The fries are just plain awful, tasting like the frozen crinkle cut variety you can get in a bag at the grocery store. The beef patties are juicy but not medium rare; they’ve been overcooked to at least medium. Nothing appetizing about grey, tasteless beef despite grill marks. Halfway through my meal, I start to feel the heaviness in the bottom of my gut and know I’ve just had The Burger of Regret.

If you get anything. Get the Cuban sandwich holy delicious

From below, the Sky Deck (which is actually an extension of Bobarino’s) look impressive with its swooping sun screens and almost circus-like tent poles. We take the elevator up to the second floor then scout around until we spot the door leading to the deck. There are many waitresses milling about, probably prepping for later dinner service when the nightlife picks up. (We are early birds, it appears, though it’s nearly 7p.) One server tells us to sit anywhere we like, so we take one of the many vacant tables at the far end. The furniture is a mix of lounge booth-couches and utilitarian chairs and tables. I notice there is a bit of neon that has blown out near the top of the building. The sun screens and poles seem more industrial up here than from below.Since I’m a mug club member, I order a Hopsun for $2. Yeah, you heard me right. For $25, you get a LIFETIME membership to the mug club with all kinds of perks and discounts. If you’re a beer lover like me, you’d be foolish not to join. And there’s nothing better than a cold Hopsun on a warm deck in summer!Juliet and I decide to keep it simple tonight, with a single appetizer and mains.

This particular adventure sums up our experiences at The B.O.B. and other Gilmore restaurants: inconsistent. How can you go from a fantastic starter to such a disappointing sandwich? At least the beer is good.

Good place to eat before a concert or a hockey game.

Food was disappointing. So was the service.

Buffalo chicken rolls are excellent

Good pizza.
