Bob's Eatery — Restaurant in Blue Ridge

My daughters and two young grandsons stopped by here last week for lunch while on our annual girls’ trip. We walked inside and stood in a rapidly growing line for about 10 mins before we even got to the counter. Once we did, the only two workers there, never so much as acknowledged us nor offered any apologies for taking so long. We stood there, I kid you not, for at least 15 mins while we were trying to wrangle two hungry and cranky little boys. It was awful! Finally, the guy walked over to take our order. They had no sweet tea…WHAT??? In the south??? My daughter ordered a sandwich with roast beef. They ran out of it, so she had to order something else. Mind you, this was around 12:30 PM on a Thursday. I was observing the lady make sandwiches. She was so slow, it was almost painful to watch. We ordered 4 sandwich combos and 3 drinks. Brace yourself…the total came to $63!!! I about fell over! 😳 There are no tables in this place, only about 3 barstools and 7 chairs that all face outward. There is a tent set up outside with tables and chairs. It took another 20 mins to get our good. The sandwiches were good, but nothing to write home to momma about. The cost alone is ridiculous! I spent almost that same amount for our meals a few nights later at Southern Charm. And the customer service is non-existent. Huge...

It was an incredibly busy fall Saturday in Blue Ridge. Nothing they can help, but plan accordingly. Getting food anywhere in the area around meal time will take 45 min to 1 hour. If you know it ahead of time, you won’t get your hopes up. All that to say, the sandwiches and shakes were WORTH the wait! The kind lady who took our order was helpful and informative. We had the #1, #4, #9, #10 and the coffee shake and the Oreo shake. Everything was awesome. The balance of flavors, freshness of ingredients and execution were superb! Would love to see them add some salad options. But for the size of the place, it might complicate things. But salads could be made ahead in a grab to go fashion as a side- just an idea. The pasta salad was good. Didn’t try the macaroni salad. But the shakes- they are like none other! Seriously- there was a piece of cheese cake and a choco covered wafer on the top of the coffee shake. A work of art and taste to match! Highly recommend this place, they just need more help during high season/ busy...

Absolutely fantastic experience at Bob’s Eatery in Blue Ridge! The #10 Bailey sandwich was a flavor-packed delight—tender chicken, melted pepper jack, crisp cucumbers, and fresh arugula, all brought together with smoky chipotle gourmaise, sweet mango habanero jam, and a drizzle of hot honey. The fresh bread from a local bakery added the perfect touch.

The side of potato salad was equally impressive. Potato salad can be hit or miss, but this one was creamy, well-seasoned, and an absolute must-try. 

The atmosphere was welcoming, with a fully-covered front deck and an open-air back patio offering ample outdoor seating, as well as cozy indoor deli-style seating. It’s a great spot to enjoy a meal, whether you’re dining in or taking out. 

Friendly service and top-quality ingredients made for an exceptional meal. Highly recommend stopping by—I’ll definitely...
