In the last 5 months, my husband and I have gone to Bobby's at least 6 times for just food, along with stopping in with my nephew for his first, midnight, 21st birthday shot and maybe 2 more times for 1 - 2 drinks each. The food was really good, so we wanted to give it a few shots to hopwfullt like the place.
6/7 times the staff has been really rude, snotty, or just came off as not wanting to have us in their bar. Keep in mind, we keep to ourselves, aren't rude to food/service workers, and are not stingy at all with tips or dinner bills on the occasion that we go out.
The 2 male bartenders we have encountered have been noticeably rude to my husband, where we felt uncomfortable and unwanted there. 4 out of 5 servers have been equally as pleasant as the unfriendly bar tenders. I don't know if this is a "cool kids" only bar, but it really sucks to have a place repeatedly make you feel as though you are bothering them by eating there. My husband and I went here earlier this week. As we walked in, he said, "I don't know why we stopped going here - The food's really good." 5 minutes later, we instantly remembered why we stopped eating here.
I would maybe recommend Uber eats because, again, the food IS good. Otherwise, it's a dice roll with how the waitstaff...
Read moreI’ve never been to this place, but I absolutely LOVE the reviews below. Totally classic and hysterical! My favorite is definitely the worm in the food bit, lol. Obviously the customer pissed off the wrong person at the restaurant. This way better than just spitting in someone’s food…the dead worm bit is super stealth and sends a message!
Just kidding. I’m sure it wasn’t intentional. Regardless, still..these are really good reviews- both the good and the bad ones. Seems like a stellar place where anyone could find some great entertainment (whether being there in person or just catching up on the stories on google reviews.)
Ok- another favorite…the guy who complained that he got turned away due to a private event…LOLOLOL! Look at this:
“We came on a Saturday and were told there was a special event and they turned us away. We won't be back, it was a waste of half a day finding another place to have a afternoon with an out of town relative. Definitely not something we have encountered anywhere else….”
Waste of a half day? Did your relative come visit you in Chicago and you wanted to show them a good time so you took a 2 hour drive for Lunch at some random place in Brookfield? lol. You can’t make this stuff up! This place just has so many good stories!
Anyways, worms or no worms, can’t wait to experience this place in the real! Maybe I’ll book a private event and show up pretending to not be me and enjoy the experience of being...
Read moreWe’ve been here several times and the food is consistently excellent — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. It’s one of the reasons I keep coming back.
During my recent visit, our server was truly outstanding. Despite the restaurant being incredibly busy, she remained attentive, kind, and professional. She went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience, even when it was clear she was stretched thin and receiving very little support from the rest of the staff.
Unfortunately, my experience at the bar was quite different. When I approached to order a drink, the bartender ignored me completely — no acknowledgment, no eye contact — even though I stood waiting for a while. I understand how overwhelming a busy night can be, which is why I even offered to help clear some glasses or lighten the load, but the lack of professionalism and courtesy from the bar was disappointing.
It’s clear that some staff, like our server, are giving 110%, and I truly appreciate their hard work. I hope management takes note of the staffing imbalance and communication issues, especially behind the bar, to better support the front-of-house team and ensure all guests receive the great service that the restaurant’s food and loyal...
