Bob’s Drive-in

Great place to go on a warm sunny day to hang outside, you can even take your dog!
The food is typically fried greasy food, it gets the job done for a cheap price. Nothing healthy about this place though haha

I’ll start with the positive. The food is great! The burgers are a little greasy, but just right. The fried cauliflower, zucchini and fries are great too. They have the best malts and ice cream around. Best twist cone around, hands down!
Now the negative. I’ll start by saying that I’ve lived less than a mile from Bobs for the majority of my life. I’ve experienced all the transitions of ownership through the years. The food has stayed great, but the service, not so much. If the drive through takes 10 – 15 minutes to get through when there’s no car in front of you, that’s really not great service. When calling in an order and told «10 minutes» and I arrive 10 minutes later and still have to wait another 5 – 10 minutes, that’s also not great service. I used to be able to call my order in, wait 5 minutes, arrive and my order was ALWAYS ready when I got there. This has not happened to me in probably the last 5 years. Needless to say, I eat there a whole lot less than I would if the the service was better, especially since it’s so convenient for me. Seems to me they would have a lot more business if the service was better. I know the same good food with much better service is possible, because it used to be that way. I’m not sure what the change has been to slow their service down so dramatically.
I would hate to see Bobs close some day. It’s been there forever. I have fond memories of going there throughout my life. My earliest memory is of standing on the long bench that used to be there and standing on my tip toes, eating an ice cream cone and trying to reach the ceiling while my parents made sure to catch me if I fell. I can only hope they can improve their service, I’d like to my own grandkids there some day and I hope their still around.
I’d say 4 stars for the food and 2 stars for service, therefore I gave them an average of 3 stars.

I stopped by for lunch for the time yesterday and was not disappointed.
My mushroom bacon cheeseburger and crinkle cut fries were great. My meal was served HOT!!!
Burger was no frills and greasy. The kind of greasy that soaks through the wrapper into the brown bag. No lettuce, ketchup, mustard, or pickles. They focus on the beef and they do it well. The bacon was crisp but not overdone. The mushrooms were soft and tasty. The cheese was melted, messy, and delicious.
This is the only place I’ve been to with crinkle fries I’ve enjoyed. They were fried well and were actually comparable to regular fries. Golden and firm on the outside, soft on the inside. They could have used more salt, but still good.
I think they use snow cone ice in their soft drinks which was fun to munch on at the end the meal.
There are few things you should know before you go:
Be prepared to wait. It took about 10 minutes to get my food. It’s made to order and that’s the way it has to be. Calling ahead is the way to go!
There’s a 50 cent charge if you’re paying with a card.
If you want more than one napkin or any condiments, you have to ask for it (I’m actually not sure if they’re available).
There is only outdoor seating but there’s plenty of it. There’s a large shaded pavilion as well as some patio umbrellas and uncovered seating.
If you’re going to eat in your car, don’t go through the drive though. The drive through is one way and you’ll have to get back on ⁶¹⁄₆₇ to circle back around. There is some shaded parking on the dive through side, but it was taken by the employees. The parking lot is large but I imagine it could get crowded when it gets busy.
Their website is well designed and easy to navigate if you care about that kind of thing.
I’ll definitely be going back to check out the rest of the menu. Neat place!

Decent little joint when you can’t get to Ted Drewes. We had the chocolate malt which was very good and a nicely sized for the price. Burgers are very good too if you like greasy bombs of deliciousness.

Stopped by Bob’s for a quick bite to eat the other day… WOW! The burger was a little greasy and then that tasty, yummy grease mixed with the melted cheese… one word… PERFECTION.

An old fashioned drive-​in with excellent burgers. I always get a cheeseburger & fried okra – delish! They have a large selection of fried stuff. We don’t get the ice cream treats very often, but when we have they’ve been good too. Always fresh & tasty!

Their banana split was great ^,^

First off: Bob’s was closed for around a year for renovations, but has since re-​opened, and it’s just as good as before (though they now have crinkle fries instead of their old ones, which is my only complaint). The ice cream is fantastic, the food I’ve tried is good (albeit greasy), and the menu is HUGE

I FINALLY made it to Bob’s Drive In after they reopened! Yey! I am with Meg, I do love the malts but my flavor of choice is the hot fudge, try it and you won’t be disappointed!
Add a burger and some fried cauliflower to eat before or after the malt (not so much at the same time: O) and you have it made.
Can’t wait to make the trip again!

So, after being closed for a VERY long time, this place is back up and running! I am excited! Simply for the fact that i love, love love their chocolate malt’s (I’m a malt fan… it’s the taste). They did some renovations to everything, and expanded their grounds, but the food is still delicious! Any time i think of their burgers, my mouth starts to water. Head down and have some of their delicious ice cream, it’s good!

Known for their Bob’s Junior burgers. Also great fried mushrooms, ice cream, and nice atmosphere. It’s like a classic 50’s drive-​thru and dining is only outside.
