    This place has such a nice view of the lake! I love that they have live music on weekends and also play the football games. Everyone was so friendly and nice when I visited yesterday. The food and micheladas were really good as well! The Chilaquiles had a good spicy kick to them if you like spicy! The club sandwich was really good. Def need to go back to try more things on the menu.

    2 meat plate with tri tip and ribs
    Savannah S.

    Nice spot to have lunch by the lake. Would have great views if they moved the parking lot over a little still a nice restaurant to eat and have drinks by the lake! Date and kid friendly. Their drink menu is fun! Everything we got was good. The food menu has a lot of options. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Service is fast! I have to be honest though--this tri tip was a bad cut. We could not chew it. Also, our loaded potatoes were forgotten and came out last after we had finished our food and were scolding hot so I burnt my mouth trying to enjoy them, of course. I explained to the waitress about the tri- tip and she was accommodating. We were definitely bummed. This is a risk you take eating meat out though. We took it home and gave it to the dogs and I swear it gave our one dog farts the whole day The ribs and Brussels were great. The garlic toast was so delicious! Also, the waitress was so sweet and brought ALL their sauces and we enjoyed trying all of them with the ribs. I'd definitely go back here, even after having the bad experience with the tri tip. I'd just order something different because it's good to support local. I also don't let one bad thing ruin my experience with the restaurant. So if you've tried it and thought ehh, maybe try it again! I can see that they are really trying and I hope they keep it up!

    Stating the fact that I called and placed a reservation.

    Today was supposed to be a special birthday celebration for my son and nephew. At 10:20 a.m., I called Bobbers Restaurant to arrange seating for a party of 10. I was told they could not accommodate us at 11:30 a.m. due to another event but could seat us at 12:00 p.m. We agreed and drove 1 hour and 15 minutes to get there. When we arrived at noon, we were informed that our table had been given to another party and that there was no reservation under my name. The staff acknowledged there was a reservation under another name, but despite our efforts to explain the situation, our family was not accommodated. What was most disappointing was not the mistake itself, but how it was handled. Rather than acknowledging the inconvenience or offering a solution, management questioned our account and made us feel unwelcome. We left without being able to celebrate as planned. Mistakes happen in every business. What customers remember is how those mistakes are handled. Unfortunately, our experience today fell far short of the customer service and professionalism we expected. I share this so others can make informed decisions and because businesses should be accountable for how they treat their customers.

    Chicken pup meal

    The staff was amazing and so understanding. We had our dog with us and were starving and she's not accustomed to being out in public. She's a barker and her bark is terrible. Our server Sam was extra friendly and understanding towards our dog. She even recommended the chicken pup meal, which my dog loved. Thanks Sam for going above and beyond to make our afternoon wonderful!

    We love The Bobber! Great location at the lake, amazing food and drinks. The owners and staff are friendly and provide great service to the guests and community. Our son loves playing in the grass area as we await our food, they have live music, and it's so nice eating outside on the patio while looking at the lake with the boats coming in and out of the marina.

    Checked this place out tonight. The menu has a vast offer for the hungry! Had an appetizer of deep fried cauliflower and it was spicy but good, service was fast and friendly. I love that there is the outdoor seating with heaters, great view of the stars above, the lake and the lights past the lake. It was a beautiful cold night and it's my first time here! Will definitely come back. Oh, karaoke Friday was in full swing. Good for family gatherings!

    Mac n cheese. Look at that cheese pull
    Rob B.

    I've been wanting to try this spot for awhile now. Was hungry, they don't have a huge selection of vegetarian or plant-based items, so I ordered a few of their sides that I was curious about via DoorDash. Here are my thoughts... Mac n cheese- when I saw this, a couple thoughts ran through my mind. "This looks like the stuff at Panera." "This better not be like Panera's" "It sounded better than it looks" ...this was all before I dug in. After digging in...well, you can see it's more than elbow noodles tossed around in some light cheese sauce. There's a lot of good cheesiness to be had in their Mac n cheese. I would say, they have the best Mac in the city, it's up there with Chic-filas, maybe better. I like it! Hand cut fries-these are my type of fries. Kinda cold and wish they were a bigger portion. Good to know they have them so close-I usually go to Five Guys in Temecula for this type of cut and texture. With me raving so high about those, what could've went wrong-2 star means it could've been better? Tater tots-good portion, but they tasted half done. Not like one or two, but all of them. Garlic mashed potatoes-I was looking forward to this. Opened my container, took a spoon of them topped with the green onions and...it tasted sour. Nothing wrong with sour but, is it their unique recipe (does it involve vinegar or fermentation) or is this actually spoiled? I had another spoon before I went with my gut and threw it away. I think it was spoiled/bad. I had ordered my food about 30 minutes before closing, so I'm thinking maybe I got the mashed potatoes that had been sitting all day and it had gone bad after awhile. Would certainly have the Mac n cheese plus fries again, just not sure about the mashed potatoes here.

    First time visiting this establishment. Found it to be rustic and geared for "Lake people". The service was great and our server was Lexi. The breakfast burrito and Bobber burger were both on point! They had live music and we sat outdoors. Very reasonable pricing and again the food was excellent! If you want something completely different by a lake. Check this place out!

    Quick service. Easy parking. Great food. Love supporting local businesses There's plenty of choices on the menu. The beer is nice and cold. Great place to people watch.

    Pup chicken and rice
    Tetchie R.

    Service was great, the outdoor patio was good for our pup and the food was delicious. The servers were attentive and the food did not take a long time to be served. Our pooch ordered chicken & rice from the pup menu.

    A friend and I stumbled across this restaurant because IHOP was EMPTY and we were worried... And I am SO GLAD WE DID! My food was AHMAZING! I had brisket and buffalo cauliflower bites and ZERO complaints. I don't live close and I'd go back just to eat. Our server I wish I remembered her name, made me feel like she we were friends! Just overall family vibe! To add my drink wasn't watered down! Kudos to the cook and the bartender

    Hey Brian, I wanted…read moreto reach out about something that happened tonight that I feel you should know about. I also want to be clear that all of this transpired after you had already left for the evening. For context, I'm a regular at the bar and have been coming in for quite a while. I've never had a major issue with Brent or Steven, even though they both have personalities that can come across as sarcastic or abrasive. I've generally let it go because my reason for coming to the bar is simple: I come in to have a few beers, relax, and enjoy myself. Tonight, while I was still drinking one of my beers and had some left in the glass, Brent came by and took it away as if I was finished. I jokingly said something along the lines of, "I guess you're not going to let me finish the last bit." I wasn't upset and wasn't trying to start an argument. It was an obvious mistake that could have been solved with a simple apology. Instead, he responded with a snarky comment rather than acknowledging the mistake. Later, he brought another beer to my table. I made eye contact with him and before I could even say anything, he asked, "Do you want to say something to me?" I replied, "No, I just wanted to say thank you." His response was, "Your eyes are telling me differently." Again, I found that unnecessarily confrontational and disrespectful. At that point, I decided to leave a $0 tip. I normally tip very well, often around 30% or more, and this was the first time I've intentionally left no tip because I wanted to send a message that I was unhappy with the way I was being treated. After that, Steven came over and confronted me about leaving no tip. He asked if I was really zeroing it out and questioned me about whether something had happened between me and Brent. I told him that whatever issue I had was not his concern, and he responded, "Fair enough." I assumed that would be the end of it. Instead, Brent came outside and confronted me. He told me Steven had said I had a problem with him. I explained that I didn't have a personal problem with him; my issue was his attitude and the way he was treating me as a customer. Rather than listening, he became increasingly hostile. I reminded him that I'm a customer and that I'm only there to buy beer from the business. I'm not there to deal with sarcasm, attitude, or an employee's emotions. As a paying customer, the minimum I expect is basic respect. I shouldn't have to walk on eggshells or accept being spoken to disrespectfully while simply trying to enjoy a beer. That confrontation ended poorly and he went back inside. A short time later, he came back out and confronted me again, this time in front of other customers. The situation became even more uncomfortable because it was happening publicly. During that exchange, he ultimately told me that I was not welcome back. Again, I reminded him that I am a paying customer whose only purpose in being there is to support the business and enjoy a beer. I should not be getting into arguments with employees, being confronted in front of other patrons, or being told I'm not welcome because I expressed concerns about how I was being treated. The bigger issue is that, in my opinion, this isn't just about tonight. This has been months in the making. I've noticed a pattern with both Brent and Steven where they seem to have become comfortable treating customers with attitude and sarcasm in ways that shouldn't be acceptable in a customer-facing role. I've overlooked it many times because I enjoy the bar and didn't think it was worth making an issue out of. On the other hand, employees like Kim, Josh, and David have always treated me and other customers with professionalism and respect. They know how to joke around while still making customers feel welcome. I've never had an issue with them. From my perspective, the problem is specifically Brent and, to a lesser extent, Steven. Brent especially has developed a demeanor that I find unwelcoming, confrontational, and disrespectful toward customers. I don't think I'm the only person who feels this way. Tonight was simply the point where it crossed a line. I'm not sending this because I want anyone fired or punished. I simply think you should know what happened, especially since it all occurred after you had left. I've spent a lot of time and money at your establishment over the years, and I would hope that customers--especially regulars--can expect basic courtesy and respect from the people serving them. I wanted to give you my side of the story directly. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

The folks/beertenders were very friendly and you can tell they're enthusiastic about craft beer and the craft beer community. I've only visited once, but I've been told that they regularly rotate out their taps and have cans of local and not so local breweries for sale out of the fridge. At the time of my visit, I noticed some cans from some of my favorite breweries in the LA and SD area. The place feels like a craft beer oasis in that it's a bit of a destination and I'm not sure what else is around. Although, to be fair, I don't live in the immediate area and don't really know the area that well in terms of craft beer offerings. Definitely a spot I would like to frequent. There seemed to be plenty parking when I went. Not sure if it get's really crowded when some more of the surrounding businesses are open, but I had plenty of spaces to chose from.

While understaffed I have to start by saying that some of the other reviews just aren't factual and don't explain the full situation at times. Some nights there just isnt enough coverage nights like last friday where there was 50 customers in the bar and Krisrty was literally the only bartender on the floor (one of only two total). She was covering the entire bar by herself -- serving drinks, taking orders, running tabs -- and still doing her absolute best to take care of everyone. Including the birthday party that came in. People need to stop using this platform to tear down hardworking people who are clearly doing everything they can in tough situations. Every customer service business has days where they're short-staffed due to call-outs, sickness, or family emergencies. That's real life. What matters is how the staff handles it -- and she handled it with professionalism, hustle, and a great attitude. I watched her stay calm, keep things moving, and make sure everyone was acknowledged. No one was ignored. She worked nonstop. On top of that, the entire team stepped up. I even saw kitchen staff come out and deliver food orders to help keep things flowing. That says a lot about the kind of team this place has. I've been to Ringside Bar multiple times, and they consistently go above and beyond to take care of their customers and make sure things are done right. One tough night due to being understaffed doesn't define a business -- how they show up during that tough night does. Huge respect to that bartender and the entire team. Hardworking people deserve recognition, not criticism, when they're doing everything they can. Let's make sure that we are showing love to literally a bar that was built to be a spot for the local community great food, drinks and atmosphere.
