Bob's Sports Bar — Restaurant in Grand Rapids

Bob's Sportsball Bar always has pretty good specials posted outside and I really like their pizza. The staff leaves a lot to be desired. My wife and I have given the place multiple tries and our last experience was the final straw. We were greeted promptly and politely by one of the bartenders (first time that has ever happened). She took our order and entered it, but apparently did not inform our morose server, who sauntered over 15 minutes later to see if we had been helped yet. We told her that the bartender took our order and that we were still waiting on our beers. With that information she went to go find our drinks. A short bit later she returned with them and that was the last we saw of her until after our food came out. Another server brought out our food and asked if we needed anything else at the moment. We said we were OK for now. Soon after our server returned to ask the same. We said we were OK for now. This apparently meant OK forever as no one returned to our table again even after we had finished our meal and drinks then waited another 10-15 minutes. From what I could tell, there was a shift change and our server just left. She did not pass us off to a new server. She did not ask us to close out. Just. Left. I finally walked up to the bar and asked if i could close my tab. The bartender, rather venomously, replied, "Uh, I just got here so I have no idea where you were sitting." Invigorating yarn chum, but she could have just asked instead of stacking on a bit more unpleasantness to my experience. I read my table number off the chart behind the bar to her, got our check, left a more than fair tip (which I kind of regret), and vowed to never return. Every experience I have had at this place has left a bad taste in my mouth. I see quite a few reviews refer to the 'great service' and I can only assume these were created by regulars who get special treatment over the normal inattentive rudeness I have experienced every time i have been to Bob's...

My husband and I were visiting from out of town. The bartender was quick, friendly and he made great suggestions. I love a cider and he recommended Blakes Triple Jam cider - it is very sweet if you don't care for a sweet cider, you'll hate it but I absolutely necked this and I usually babysit my drinks lol. I'm really bummed we don't have access to this cider in my state :( We also got the beef tacos, those weren't anything special. It honestly was a bit like a Taco Bell soft taco, not bad but not great. We came back the next night for another round and got the garlic cheese curds which were really good. We also got chips & salsa but they were just your basic grocery store chips & bottled salsa. So the mexican type food could be taken up a few notches to elevate the food. Oh and I will say, gotta do something about that bathroom door on the ladies room. Just put in a full door - felt like the stall may have been in the...

Saturday April 30th 2022 my husband and I attended Bob's Bar. 1. A gentlemen approached the waitress and politely said excuse me. She ignored him and repeating himself two more times she replied by yelling yes. 2. Four people walked up to the bar waiting to place a order. The bartender told them they had to move out the way. So her waitress could get through. But she was very rude about it and started to complain about people walking up to the bar to place an order. So the people turned around and left. 3. An older lady walked up and tried to place her order. The bartender responded by saying you have to wait. I have 6 shots to make. My mother n law, my aunt and my cousin worked at Bob's Bar for years. Never experienced anything like this before. We will never...
